The LEGO 41517 set, introduced as part of the Mixels Series 2 lineup in 2014, features the character Balk from the Flexers tribe, known for their flexibility and long limbs. Designed for children aged 6 and up, this set comprises 68 pieces, allowing builders to assemble a quirky, articulated figure with a distinctive mono-eye, a broad mouth, and distinctive, long, flexible legs that capture the essence of the characters ability to stretch and bend. The Flexers tribe, to which Balk belongs, is themed around elasticity and flexibility, and this is reflected in Balks design, which emphasizes playability and the capacity to pose in various positions. Like other sets in the Mixels series, 41517 encourages creativity and imagination, as the pieces can be combined with those from other Mixels sets to create new, imaginative creatures in a process known as “mixing,” “maxing,” or “murping,” adding a unique collectible and creative dimension to this LEGO offering.
