The set contains 430 pieces and enables fans to build a spooky laboratory scene where the Crazy Scientist and his creation, the Monster, come to life.

Theres also a lightning rod to power up the Monster and several glow-in-the-dark elements that enhance the spooky atmosphere when the lights are off.

Minifigures in this set include the Mad Scientist, complete with a white lab coat and wild hair, and his Monster, which draws obvious inspiration from Frankensteins monster.

Its creative design and play potential make it a cherished set for both young builders and collectors, especially those with a fondness for the Monster Fighters theme and classic monster tales.
