Featured in this review is the 1×1 Builder Set that includes a Black Knight figure, 31 building materials, 2 weapons, 1 door and 3 windows.
Thank you to Jazwares for sending along their Fortnite 1×1 Builder Set for review.
Availability – July 2019
The Fortnite 1×1 Builder Set by Jazwares allows you to create structures, a battle scene and more as seen in the game, or use your own imagination and build something new. This set includes 31 building materials that allows you to create many different structures as seen in the game, including what you see on the back of the box. Each of these pieces can connect, and this set includes windows and a door to create a small cabin or something else.
The paint applications for each one is different, and these look exactly as they are seen in the game, with great detail, sculpting and paint applications. The wood pieces are orange with a brown wash, the brick pieces are light and dark brown, and the metal pieces are gray with a silver wash over it. Each piece is squared, and connecting some them may be difficult, especially if you choose to build something big such as a fortress with walls and places to hide.
The pieces can be used to create one or more structures. Unfortunately, this set does not include instructions, so you will have to be creative or look up some of the structures shown in the game and try to match that as best you can. For this set, it may be best to build one of the structures as seen on the box as its easier to do that rather than to try and create something else. Like other sets, trying to snap the pieces together are difficult and a bit time consuming, and once you build a structure, you may want to keep it like that for sometime.
Black Knight is sculpted and painted in a black, dark grey, silver armor. The figure is nicely detailed and a great likeness to the game. The figure has armor over his chest that has blood spattered on the front, which is nicely painted. The arms have a sculpted texture, with the right arm having a red ribbon around it, and the silver deco on the neck piece is airbrushed along the sides with a wash on the front. The hips and legs have nicely done painted details, including a black belt, straps around the right leg, and shin guards with a silver wash and feet guards. The legs may be familiar to you as these are shared parts with Jonsey. Black Knight comes with a Pick Squeak and Axecalibur.
The articulation includes a ball jointed head, ball jointed torso, ball hinged shoulders, swivel-hinged elbows, swivel-hinged wrists, ball jointed hips, swivel thighs, double-hinged knees, hinged and rocker ankles.
Overall, the 1×1 Builder Set is a great addition to the line. The inclusion of a door and windows is nice and works with any other of these building sets. Black Knight is a great looking figure with superior deco and attention to detail on the sculpts. Fans of the game, and action figure collectors in general should definitely purchase this set and other offerings currently available.
