Review:
As much as I love these Incredibuilds Harry Potter model kits I hate spiders so I wasn't sure about buying this Aragog kit but it's actually kind of cute, well in a weird kind of way lol. The booklet contains all sorts of interesting facts, illustrations and photos of how they created Aragog and the rest of the acromantulas for the Harry Potter movies. The animatronic model of Aragog used for filming Chamber of Secrets weighed a ton and with an eighteen-foot leg span it was the size of an elephant!
These kits are all easy to build but you do need to be extra careful removing the pieces for this model from the laser cut board. The legs in particular are very long and thin so would be easy to break if you don't pay attention. As far as the actual build goes this was one of the easier models in the range, everything slots together really easy and there aren't that many pieces. It looks fabulous when it's finished though and they've done a great job of capturing the character.
These models make great shelf decorations and are sure to be a hit with Potterheads of all ages.
