LEGO 76917 Speed Champions 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34)

Product Information

The wrinkled shirt is certainly basic, but nonetheless accurate, and I like the dual-moulded arms representing short sleeves. Brian's hairstyle is faithfully recreated too, in combination with facial hair. The mouth looks slightly strange though. I think this expression is supposed to convey the character's confidence when driving the Skyline, but maybe a more conventional smirk would be preferable. Build [4] – Speed Champions always have amazing builds with a high level of detail, although this set falls a little short in comparison to some of its brethren. The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Minifigure Here’s how the model looks from the top – there aren’t many details from above, but I like the clean look achieved with 2×6 tiles above the driver compartment, and the striping on the front is nice too.

Kids, movie fans and car lovers will be thrilled to collect this model replica of the Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) from the 2 Fast 2 Furious movie. That’s partially due to the in-universe design of the car with all the racing stripes, and bits of details like the Florida license plate, and Toyo Tires branding. That is partly due to the source material, but the final model isn’t as interesting to look despite the engaging build process. Car lovers can experience a rewarding build before proudly displaying this collectible toy car or recreating epic racing scenes from the movie.

And yes, if you were wondering, the Skyline does look good next to its other Fast and Furious companion, 76912 Fast & Furious 1970 Dodge Charger R/T! The review of that set is coming soon, so keep an eye out for it! I’ve also loved watching all TEN of these movies. I was very distraught when I learned of Paul Walker’s passing. This set is a perfect homage to him. And the minifigure looks very much like him. The Brian O’Conner Minifig has dual molded arms and a scruffy beard. There’s even space to represent the rear seat – although you can’t fit a figure there, you can use it as storage. But my favorite are the trans blue 1×2 plates on the bottom which are supposed to resemble the neon lights that the original car has. This Fast and Furious car toy is so much fun to build.Collectible LEGO® gift – This 319-piece Speed Champions model kit can be given as a birthday gift or unexpected treat to kids aged 9+, car enthusiasts and fans of the Fast & Furious movies
