As we get closer to the end of our LEGO One Piece fall set reviews, we’ll next take a look at Battle at Drum Castle (75645). It has 1,038 pieces and retails for $109.99.
Minifigures
There are six minifigures in the set including Monkey D. Luffy, Nami, Sanji, Vivi, Tony Tony Chopper, and King Wapol. Luffy has on a plaid one sleeve jacket with blue shorts. He has a neck bracket to hold his straw hat. His double-sided head shows him with a smile on one side and an angry expression on the other. His accessory is a Baroque Works tile of Mr. 3.
Nami is wearing the purple jacket and pants as they are leaving Drum Island. There’s nothing too special about it but there is printing of the hood on the torso back. Her double-sided head shows her with a smirk on one side and an angry expression on the other.
Sanji has on a white hoodie with blue pants. His double-sided head shows him with a smirk on one side and a smile on the other. His accessories include a bowl and a spoon.
Vivi has on a tan jacket with blue pants. Her double-sided head shows her with a smile on one side and a stern look on the other.
Tony Tony Chopper uses the baby mold with printing of his fur. His double-sided head shows a smile on one side and him angry on the other. His pink hat does have his antlers molded on and they’re rubber and not hard plastic. His accessories include a syringe and a Baroque Works tile of Mr. 9.
Lastly we have King Wapol who is all armored up. This includes the large shoulderpad that goes on the torso. He also has a hooded cape made from White Walkie skin that is attached to his tin plated mouth. His double-sided head shows him with an evil smile on one side and angry look on the other. His accessories include some hand cannons and a battle axe.
For the other two Baroque Works tiles, we have one for Miss Wednesday and for Mr. 9.
The only build in the set is Drum Castle. If you look at it from the front, it may seem that it is a deep castle but it’s the total opposite. In the front, you have the gates flanked by some shorter towers. When you go inside, there’s a whole empty space for the courtyard. You can detach the front gate section to get more space but there’s not much else going on here. There are some stairs that go up to the second floor of the castle.
On the back side of the castle, we see three floors. At the top, we have the throne room with the chair sitting promiently in the middle. There are a couple of stickered banners up top with the crests.
The middle room where the stairs lead up to is Dr. Kureha’s infirmary where Nami gets healed up. The left side has the bed and the right has the lab area.
The bottom level has a brick-built fireplace that has the shape of Wapol’s hippo. On the left side, we have Dr. Hiluluk’s flag with the cherry blossoms on the Jolly Roger.
Results
The LEGO One Piece Battle at Drum Castle (75645) is a pretty pivotal scene from the manga/anime but the set is somewhat lacking especially at the $110 price point. We have all the major characters but we’re missing Zoro and Kureha. A Dalton minifigure in his Human-Beast form would’ve been nice as well.
The castle from the outside is decent looking but the empty area behind the gates is somewhat disappointing. We could’ve had more to fill in the area but all we got was the gates to open up for more play space.
The back of the castle is the open back style that we’re used to seeing by now. If I had to add another detail, I would have a spot to show Hiriluk’s sacrifice in the throne room.
