From the Clone Wars we move to ... Santa's robotic reindeer shop?
I really like when the Advent Calendar builds come with a holiday/Christmas theme (like Yoda in a santa hat from years ago, or minifigures in ugly Christmas sweaters).
Today's a double win - one of my favorite of all the Star Wars droids, the Gonk Droid, dressed up as a reindeer! A truly excellent idea from the geniuses at LEGO.
I wish that instead of a black stud for the nose it had included a red one to make Rudolph. Thankfully, I have a boatload of red ones that were extra parts in other builds, so I tried two of them, a solid red and a translucent red:
I like the subtlety of the translucent one, but I think the boldness of the solid red one works much better. My version of the Reindeer Gonk Droid now has a solid red nose. Welcome to my home, Rudolph Gonk! I do hereby name you R1G4! (Because I think this is the 4th gonk droid I've gotten in the Advent Calendars over the years).
