About this item
A prosthetic from LEGO Friends
The prosthetic hand first came in LEGO Friends 42621 Heartlake City Hospital, and LEGO made a new minifigure arm with a limb difference so it could fit (Jay's Brick Blog). The Brothers Brick and Merlin's Bricks also flag the arm as a new piece.
Telescope and rocket
BrickOwl lists seven small round parts for the telescope, which The Brothers Brick calls the coolest LEGO telescope yet. Merlin's Bricks rates the kid the simplest figure in the series, and Jay's Brick Blog sees the T-shirt rocket as a nod to Series 17's Rocket Boy.
