Build

The build consists of Kai’s mech and the motorbike. The mech is a small one, similar to some of the smaller mechs in this wave like Lloyd’s Mech Battle EVO (71781). The arms and legs have decent movement as they use ball joints. The shoulder armor has some detailing by the way of stickers but only on the top part. The chestpiece opens up for Kai to stand inside comfortably. The back of the mech has a spot for the Focus banner to attach on.

The bike is very sleek and is the perfect size for the mech. Once the evolution is complete, there are some large swords near the front wheels and some flaming tailpipes on the sides. The mech is secured to the bike using some hinges on the seat. It can now hold on to the very large golden blade in either hand.

Results

The LEGO Ninjago Kai’s Mech Rider EVO (71783) so far is one of my favorite 2023 sets. The mech is the typical smaller ones but the bike is what makes the set cooler. Even without the evolution swords and flames, it’ll still look pretty good. The only downside is that none of the minifigures are unique.
