The Incredibles – Mummy To Twins Plus One

Alexander loves LEGO and has really wanted to play with his big sisters LEGO sets.

However, these LEGO sets are for big kids and have super tiny to extremely little bits that go with any of the kits I have purchased (Also due to having a lot of LEGO and not a great system in place the LEGO is stored in a draw and easily accessible by the twin’s little brother).

LEGO Jr Incredibles 2 Underminer Bank Heist Set

The twins are eight years older than their brother so as you might imagine they are doing more complicated things with their LEGO creations than he is, although he would love to give it a go.

I have noticed that he seems to be very good at not putting any little piece in his mouth or elsewhere so that is a plus and decided to see how he would go with the LEGO Jr Sets.

Finished Incredibles 2 Set all ready to play with

Superheroes are a big hit and the Incredibles Films are a firm favourite with Alexander and also the twins. Having a kit that features the “Underminer Bank Heist” from The Incredibles 2 was a good idea.

Alex was keen to open his new LEGO set and kept on wanting to build it. I helped with opening up the box and assisted him in building the kit. It came with Mr Incredible, Mrs Incredible (Elastigirl) and the Underminer. You also can build a bank vault with breakaway door and a street scene with wall and buildable streetlamp, plus an Incredibile vehicle and Tunneler machine with spinning drill bits. Some parts needed mummy to help and others Alex was able to click the bricks into place.

My little boy is a little young to do it all himself but enjoyed the process and playing with the set once finished.

I was very pleased once the set was complete and it matched the picture on the box and instructions. However, a three-year-old toddler didn’t care too much for accuracy and ended up dismantling my hard efforts on making sure it looked picture perfect and created his own game with Mr Incredible and the Underminer, oh and loved the fact that he got another car with the kit too (he is obsessed with cars).

Alexander will be 4 in January and since he is really into building with LEGO I’ve organised more LEGO Jr kits just for him.

Interview with Cosplayer Nevada Newman

Oz Comic-Con is happening next month and what better way to get in the spirit than with an interview with Nevada Newman.

Nevada Newman is a nine-year-old who is a Cosplayer.

What is Cosplay?

“Cosplay is the practice of dressing up as a character from a film, book, or video game, especially one from the Japanese genres of manga or anime.” From the Google Dictionary.

Nevada agreed to be interviewed and to share some fabulous images of herself, and her brother.

The costumes are fabulous and awesome, you can keep up to date with their Cosplay adventures on Instagram.

Q1. When did you first get interested in Cosplay? 

A. I got interested in cosplay in 2016 when I attended my first con with my mum and saw all of the fantastic cosplayers there.

Q2. I see via your Instagram @nevada_newman_official that you started with Cosplay in 2016, have you been having fun with it?

A. I did start my cosplay adventures in 2016 (before that my insta was full of my dancing) I have so much fun with getting to play different characters.

Q3. What is your favourite outfit? They all look so stunning.

A. Thank you. My favourite outfit has been Hela from Thor Ragnarok.

Q4. Do any of your friends participate in Cosplay?

A. No, none of my friends at school or dance even knew what cosplay was before I started doing it.

Q5. What is the biggest event for Cosplay enthusiasts that you are really looking forward to?

A. Oz comic con for me is my favourite as they really love child cosplayers and even have a day that they get to show off their costumes.

Q6. Oz Comic-Con is happening in September, what costume will you be wearing when you attend?

A. Gosh, I don’t know. We are going for the weekend so it will be 2 different ones. Hela maybe possibly Raven from Teen Titans Go, I have so many to choose from now since I got sponsored from www.herostime.com

Q7. I loved seeing the pictures of you and your brother as The Incredibles, it was so nice. Does your brother like dressing up too?

A. Oh yes, he sure does. Those costumes are so much fun to wear. He loves being Dash. Although Captain America and Thor are 2 of his favourites.

Q8. Does any other family member dress up in Cosplay?

A. No lol, other than my baby brother it is definitely my thing.

Q9. I’ve seen some wonderful images of your costumes on Instagram, what is your favourite?

A. My favourite image that I have done is Gamora with my baby brother as Thor in the middle of Surfers Paradise. I was so much fun seeing how people reacted to us all dressed up.

Q10. How do you think you have changed since you have started dressing up in CosPlay? Do you think you have grown with confidence and met more people?

A. I have definitely grown through cosplay and met some amazing people. WhenI’m in costume I feel more confident speaking to people as I am playing a character. I get to explore being different people all the time and I don’t want that to ever stop.

Follow Nevada Newman on Instagram to keep up with all her cool costumes and events she attends.

A BIG thank you to Nevada for the interview and images for this post.

I hope you have an awesome time at Oz Comic-Con
