REVIEW: 71478 The Never Witch's Midnight Raven

Here is my review on LEGO DreamZzz 71478 The Never Witch's Midnight Raven:

THE GOOD:

• The Raven looks great with a massive wingspan.
• Great minifigures selection.
• Very detailed through the build.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• The Neck could have been more mobile.

This may be one of the most impressive bird type build I ever built.  Originally put on my wish-list because the minifigure selections and getting one of the new raven, but was a bit hesitate to buy this because prioritising on other sets, the 30% off deal on Amazon AU sealed it for me.  But WOW, I was very surprised how good this is by the time I finished the build.  The wing span is actually quite massive, with very nice way of building to recreate the feather on a flying bird.  With multiple articulation joints, it makes this really cool.  Both the tail and the head are done very well.  I do wish it also integrate some neck movements but unfortunately not.  The beak can be open and close though.  Granted, the back of the body is a bit flat but it's needed for some of the other parts like the hut and the port to be placed.  The belly is very smart to use spider web to mimic a round shape.  The hut is also very well done, while the interior is small, the exterior is great and refreshing.  This set also comes with a different sets of printed tiles to the nightmare create set for some of the key items, and a great selection of minifigures.  While only Astrid is exclusive to this set currently, as I haven't or I cannot afford the whole theme, it does give me Dizzy who is the doppelgänger of Izzy and it's a very very cool minifigure.  Overall the minifigure line up is excellent.  While I did not have the time to build the alternate build, this is one of the DreamZzz alternate build that interest me because clear the walking house is heavily influenced by Babayaga.  With a 30% off discount, it suddenly make this set and very very good deal.  The set itself is also excellent and definitely a recommendation from me because it's actually have a great build.
