Superphonics: Purple Storybook: A Goat in a Boat

Product Information

I LOVE Thor’s new gold and blue armour, which contrasts wonderfully against his red cape, and from the recent trailer, it looks like LEGO did a fantastic job adapting the designs.

Thor’s Viking longboat – LEGO® Marvel The Goat Boat (76208) inspires action and adventure from the Marvel Studios’ Thor: Love and Thunder movie To make it a more balanced and engaging experience, NBA 2K23 went out on a limb to make their matchmaking experience more fluent with less wait times, adding modes that include no-wait gameplay to go along with Got Next spots. With both these modes at your disposal, wait times will go down, including in the REC. Seasons Throughout the year, The G.O.A.T. Boat will receive cosmetic updates to match the vibe of each Season, keeping things fresh and festive. Courts will feature thematic designs and logos that will be updated for 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5. Keep your eyes on the horizon for more Season 1 news and updates coming soon! QUESTS: WHAT’S NEW Mjölnir has passed between numerous comic characters, imbuing each with Thor's Asgardian abilities. Jane Foster takes the mantle during Thor: Love and Thunder, becoming Mighty Thor and featuring resplendent armour. This dual-moulded helmet and hair component is particularly majestic, while the torso and legs exhibit complex decoration. Both minifigures wear red capes, common among depictions of Thor.Her winged helm is excellent, and I love it when LEGO fuse hair into helmets. I do think her hair colour is a touch too blonde, and should be slightly darker, but that’s a minor thing. Here’s a look at the completed model – The Goat Boat is based off the design of a Viking Longship (we’re getting two Viking ships this year!), drawn by two mystical goats – Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder. Debuting on the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on NBA 2K23 is the G.O.A.T. Boat and there’s plenty to be excited about it. A key part of the G.O.A.T. Boat was its emphasis on expanding what it had offered on its blueprint from the year prior, the Cancha Del Mar. It’s remarkable how much room there is, as it encourages plenty of different scenes, and ways to display the characters on the boat. Innovation [3]– Nothing new introduced, but I liked what the designer did to re-create the longship’s shape

LEGO have revealed a new Marvel set based on the upcoming forth installment of Thor movie entitled Love and Thunder! It’s rare to get the film’s director (Taika Waititi) to be a supporting character, and even rarer to be immortalised as a minifigure, but that’s the Korg experience. Valkyrie (played by Tessa Thompson) is technically King of New Asgard, and features updated torso and leg prints as well.I did find it a little perplexing that the brown-haired goat (not sure which is Toothgrinder and which is Toothgnasher) had no molded ears, but after looking at some other promo images and merch, it looks like its ears in the source material are much shorter than the long, floppy ears of its white-haired companion. So I think the sideways studs on the pieces used to attach the horns are an OK representation of them in this case.

The Cancha Del Mar cruise ship was a successful first attempt at what fans will be getting from the G.O.A.T. Boat that’s coming to NBA 2K23. While moulded goats remain desirable, I think actually assembling these magical animals was appropriate here. After all, Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder are significantly bigger and stronger than typical goats, pulling their eponymous boat at remarkable speeds. Admittedly, their printed faces seem odd, but these designs convey great personality and the goats' different horns are perfect. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Marvel set if it didn’t have a red fire extinguisher! The cabin as a whole is quite basic, but I do like the design of the roof which uses long tiles to mimic Norse architecture. Oh, and the studs are of course useful for minifigures to stand on them. Here’s a comparison with a proper LEGO Goat. Close, but no cigar, and I’m enjoying the fact that LEGO seem to be doing everything in their power to not give us a proper LEGO Goat that everyone sorely wants. Jane Foster features a double-sided head and authentic accessories like Thor’s Hammer, an Asgardian Helmet, and a cape.

The Completed Model

Dominating every game mode and rival player on The G.O.A.T. Boat never gets old, but if you’re looking for more to do, you’ll be happy to hear that Quests are returning in NBA 2K23. On the Cancha Del Mar, players had the opportunity to explore the cruise ship by interacting with NPCs via Quests. This year, you’ll be able to explore The G.O.A.T. Boat in a similar fashion, but with some added tweaks. Iconic Super Heroes – There are 5 minifigures from the movie onboard Thor’s mighty ship: Thor, Mighty Thor, Valkyrie, Korg and Gorr. Lots of authentic accessories further inspire imaginative play
