The mini-dolls are off to strange new worlds with this exciting research rover! Take a spin with us as we explore this sleek rover that brings Olivia, William, and Apollo face-to-face with the cutest little aliens we’ve ever seen. This set is an exciting companion to an earlier Friends exploration into space - check out our post 2285 for a review of that set!

Building experience: our score is 4 out of 5. There are four instruction booklets, making this ideal for building with others. Though nothing here will surprise experienced builders, the rover’s three main segments are satisfying to put together, and the alien life scene is adorable and functional too!
The alien life scene is on a rounded corner 6 x 6 blue plate. Trans-blue fern pieces along with blue and azure slope and bows form the base. Stalks are made with elbow macaroni pieces with axle holes, 3-stem plant pieces, and 1 x 1 round bricks. They are topped with a build made with Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Bar Handle, part 26047, holding a fern piece attached to the Technic, Pin Connector Round with 4 Clips (Horizontal Grip), part 90202.
The fern pieces make a wonderful hiding spot! Images show them closed to hide the aliens posed in the middle, or open to reveal the aliens.
The enormous wheels are ready to tackle any type of terrain! The rover is easy to navigate by grasping the rear section, which is not attached to the base. A video shows the rover going over stacked plates that are a 16 x 16 footprint and graduate to a small center of 4 x 4 studs. The rover easily goes up the plates and back down.
