Candy Mermaid BeatBox Reviews
Brickset
“Among the various unusual VIDIYO characters, Candy Mermaid appears particularly bizarre! Combining a mermaid with ice cream is rather original, although I think the resulting minifigure looks marvelous. I love the bright pink color scheme and these divergent subjects have... More been integrated successfully, especially as the distinctive waffle-like texturing continues between the mermaid's tail and her torso.”

“A BeatBox is the main physical product in the VIDIYO theme. Inside each is an exclusive minifig, a “stage”, and 16 printed tiles called BeatBits. There’s a bit of grumbling among AFOLs that LEGO seems to be pushing more and more into the digital world with products like... More Dimensions, Hidden Side, and now VIDIYO. I get that. But I think it’s good that LEGO acknowledges that digital is just part of how kids experience the world and explores ways of integrating physical play.”
