“Escape At Sea is the only set in which you can get Finn McMissile in his submarine form, which will go very nicely with his hydrofoil form which will be released next year. Professor Z is a cool model, despite being a little off color-wise and missing his trademark... More comb-over. The boat, Tony Trihull, is just big enough for Professor Z to ride on and is an exclusive.”

“It’s got two large hull pieces that most likely contributed to the seemingly high price point. You do get three movie characters out of those pieces, though, Submarine Finn McMissile, Professor Z, and Tony Trihull, without many extras. In fact, the only extras you do get are... More two buoys. Despite the scale being completely out of whack, I actually like the model for Tony Trihull.”
