Awesome LEGO City & LEGO Ninjago Pop-Up Books

There are a couple of interesting LEGO books on Amazon that I thought some of you might like. The books are very interactive with stories, minifigs, and beautiful large 3D pop-up backdrops to play out various scenarios. As far as I know, there are only two such books released so far, but they are super fun. Details below.

The first book is titled LEGO City: Cop vs. Robber. It includes 2 action-packed books and a fold-out playmat, 2 minifigs (Cop and Robber), and a double-sided 3D pop-up play scene. The pop-up section is actually so nice, that you could add it as a backdrop to your LEGO city!

In the video below, you can see how the playmat and pop-up feature looks like. If you’re interested, the book is available on Amazon for a very reasonable price – BUY LEGO CITY POP-UP BOOK ON AMAZON

The second book is titled LEGO Ninjago Legacy: Garmadon vs. Lloyd. It also includes 2 books with engaging stories and a fold-out playmat, 2 minifigs (hero Lloyd and evil Lord Garmadon), and a double-sided 3D pop-up play scene that works as a perfect backdrop for ninja action. This backdrop is very pretty and could be combined with LEGO Ninjago sets.

There is a short preview video for this book too, demonstrating how the playmat and pop-up feature works. This book is also very reasonably priced and available on Amazon – BUY LEGO NINJAGO POP-UP BOOK ON AMAZON

Kids would definitely enjoy these LEGO pop-up books, and I believe even teen and adult builders would appreciate them and may even integrate them into their cities. So, if you are looking for an interesting and unusual LEGO gift, check out these books!

First Ninjago Vlog Series Launches Today!

in LEGO Ninjago

Today, the LEGO Group steps into a new realm of adventure and discovery as it launches the first episode of Ninja Vlogs, a brand-new series of motion capture vlogs aimed at viewers ages 6-12 years. Hosted by Jay and Nya, two familiar faces from LEGO Ninjago, the interactive vlogs offer a new way for young fans to connect with the beloved characters and even get involved in the story themselves!

For the first time ever, the LEGO Group is introducing content produced using motion capture and real-time rendering. Motion capture is a 3D production approach in which the performance of an actor is recorded using a suit with motion trackers and mapped onto a 3D character, thereby allowing the character to mirror the actor’s movements. Meanwhile, real-time rendering calculates 3D images at high speed so that scenes, which consist of a multitude of images, appear to be occurring in real time.

Merging the two techniques in relation to LEGO characters, models and settings combines the best elements of a CGI production and live action performance. LEGO Ninjago minifigures also come to life in a completely fresh way, drawing from the subtle nuances of the actors’ movements and performance quality.

Most importantly, this production method will allow Ninja Vlogs to engage fans via interactive content that creates two-way communication with the audience. Within the LEGO Life app, viewers can join building challenges, answer polls, and even ask questions which may be answered in subsequent episodes. By highlighting the audience’s contributions, Ninja Vlogs allows children to interact with their ninja heroes on a more personal and informal level as Jay and Nya take viewers along on their adventures and make them feel like they are in the story.

“With these vlogs, we’re shifting from broadcasting to LEGO Ninjago fans to having a rich conversation with them,” says Victoria Knauf, Associate Content Manager, Kids Engagement at the LEGO Group. “The characters in the vlogs react to the real-life LEGO creations, opinion polls and dialogue created amongst viewers, allowing children to be at the heart of the experience by adding their own perspectives and ideas.”

Throughout the series, Jay and Nya explore a menacing and dangerous new world, which few have ever visited. But things are not always as they seem: statues that appear static come alive, dangerous dragons reveal their soft side, and the Keepers who appear hostile turn out to be friendly protectors. Along the journey, kids can use their creativity and imagination to help Nya and Jay by building their own creations to be added to the story, creating memes, and adding their own comments via the LEGO Life app.

The first episode of Ninja Vlogs airs today, May 28th, 2021, on the LEGO Life app and via LEGO.com/kids, with subsequent episodes following every second Friday until July 2nd. Ninja Vlogs will be available in English with subtitles in 21 different languages.
