乐毅（Le Yi，注意不是乐高）对我而言是个新品牌，虽然原本没打算尝试，但这套是收到的圣诞礼物，何乐而不为呢:) 另外西游记主题其实不算我的菜（虽然收藏里也有几个相关人仔），不过这次这个六耳猕猴实在让我想起童年英雄——强殖装甲盖巴啊 :D
六耳猕猴是与孙悟空法力相当的通灵猿猴。他最初伪装成孙悟空与之交战，双方始终难分高下。直到如来佛祖点破通灵猿猴之秘，众人方能辨明真伪。猕猴试图逃遁时被如来扣于钵盂之下，孙悟空这才得以将其制服。
拼搭过程耗时5小时40分钟，整体较为轻松。
砖块品质：类似迪库牌。咬合度完美，观感良好，但部分零件存在划痕，水口处理不算完美，个别零件略有污渍。科技件衔接顺畅。像是将星堡的材质与迪库的做工相结合。总体无可指摘。需注意部分零件（主要是装饰件和头部）并非乐高式设计，更接近模型制作领域的手法，不过适配性良好甚至能用于其他模型。特别注意头部——组装后几乎不可拆分。另需注意紫色零件的实物颜色与说明书及宣传图存在色差，饱和度较低。真正原因是——这些零件居然能夜光！
设计方面：最明显的是乐毅刻意增加了零件数。这套set包含大量小零件，虽不能说完全能用大零件替代，但确实使成品结构更紧凑，拼搭过程略显繁琐，难度高于平均水平。不过我个人倒是享受这种挑战性。此外这款模型不适合把玩，绝非儿童玩具。虽然躯干和腿部很牢固，但手臂较脆弱——尤其是摆姿势握持那根巨无霸金箍棒时。稳定性限位器可能会脱落，腰带装饰件也是如此。这些都在预料之中，设计并不差，为了最终造型牺牲强度可以接受。
贴纸/印刷件：仅12张贴纸，品质类乐高，色彩匹配精准。仅头部为印刷件。
说明书：1208片零件仅用20页说明书完成 :))) 册子质感廉价但内容足够清晰。尽管单页步骤密集（我反而喜欢这点），指引却异常明确，色标准确，还包含金属/透明件比例提示。全程零失误（好吧其实有一次，但并非说明书问题）。
总体而言是套出色的set，欢迎乐毅加入我的收藏 :)
--------------------
Le Yi (not to be confused with Leji) is a new brand for me and though I didn't plan on trying it, I got this one for Christmas, so why not :) Also, the Journey to the West stories is not really my cup of tea (though I have some characters from it in my collection), but in this case this character reminded me of my childhood hero - Guyver - too much :D
The Six-Eared Macaque is a spiritual primate on par with Sun Wukong in terms of their powers and abilities. The Macaque first appears in disguise as Sun Wukong and when he fights with him, neither of them is able to overcome his opponent. No one is able to identify who the real Sun Wukong is until they show up before the Buddha, who tells them about the spiritual primates. The Macaque attempts to flee when he realizes his identity is revealed, but the Buddha traps him under a giant alms bowl, and only then Sun Wukong is able to defeat him.
Relaxed building took 5 hours and 40 minutes.
Brick quality: reminds me of DK brand. Perfect clutch power, looks nice, but there are some scratches here and there, finishing not always perfect, some are not perfectly clean. Technic pieces fit nicely. It's like a mix of Sluban quality with DK-like finishing. Overall, there is nothing to really complain about. Note that there are some pieces (mostly decorations, also head) that are not really Lego-like. They are more from the model-building field, however, they are nicely adapted and can even be used in other builds. Be careful wit the head - once assembled, it's almost impossible to take apart. Also note that the real colours (of the purple parts) are not quite the same as on the pictures in instructions or promo, not that vibrant. The real reason for this - they actually glow in the dark!!
Design: first things first - the obvious. Le Yi has inflated pieces count on purpose. There are huge amount of small pieces in this set, though to be honest I cannot always say they are replaceable by bigger pieces. This results in a quite compact build and quite tedious building, which is of a more than average difficulty. Nevertheless, I cannot say I didn't like it, I prefer some challenge. Other than that - this model is not for playing, this is not a toy for a kid. While torso and legs are solid, arms are a bit fragile, especially if you try to make it do some posing and hold this absolutely MASSIVE staff. There are some limiters for stability, so those can fall off, also belt decoration. Nothing I wouldn't expect, the design is not bad and I accept those sacrifices that were made for cooler final look.
Stickers/prints: there are only 12 stickers, quality is Lego-like, colours are nicely matched. Only head parts are printed.
Instructions: there are huge amount of steps on the page, only 20 pages for 1208 pieces :))) The book looks cheap, but quality is good enough. Despite many steps on the page (which I actually like), the manual is extremely easy to follow, colours are accurate, there are tips on the scale, metallic and transparent pieces, I didn't make a single mistake (well, I did one, but not because of the instructions).
Overall, great set, and I welcome Le Yi to my collection :)
