Accessories: Electronic Basilisk, sword, figure stand
The Basilisk Attack playset is inspired by events in The Chamber of Secrets, second in the Harry Potter film series. Certain figures (box does not specify which but shows Harry Potter figure holding the sword accessory) from The Chamber of Secrets are used with the playset.
The basilisk (a giant snake) has eyes and mouth that light up. It groans in agony when a figure strikes its neck in a certain spot with the sword accessory. One can also control the lunging of the serpent.
The playset itself has a secret entrance and is modeled after the chamber from The Chamber of Secrets film.
Well, better late than never.
Honestly, I could take or leave Harry Potter as a franchise. Good stories, but still pretty low on my fantasy totem pole. And so I mostly avoided merchandise, apart from a Dementor I wanted to fix up just for kicks. This turned up for cheap, though, and I smelled diorama material.
We'll start with the titular Basilisk, and Mattel has certainly delivered an intimidatingly chunky snake monster here. Credit where it's due, bendy was out due to the action feature, but they kept the articulation sparse enough not to muck up the sculpt. Said sculpt is oddly shallow compared to screenshots, giving it more of an eel-like vibe. Probably based on early renders, but I appreciate the look.
The colors help. It's a nice gold plastic, no swirls or flaws, with a two-tone...[See More]
