Pantasy P-Box DJ Booth 98001 Set Review


Hey brick fans, welcome back to Its-Not-Lego.blogspot.com!   There's a new brand of not Lego bricks called Pantasy and I got a chance to review one of their first sets.   The set is P-Box DJ Booth 98001.  It was sent to me courtesy of brickkk.com and arrived from China superfast (like 2 weeks).

It's a rare treat to see what the set box looks like, because normally the sets I buy from Aliexpress just come in plastic shipping bags.


I particularly like the reflective blue accents on the box flaps.  Each side of the box displays the Pantasy brand and the P-Box logo and set number 98001.

The back of the box shows a colourful graphic of the DJ.


And here is the DJ set unboxed.  Here's what's inside: There are 4 bags of parts, three of them are labelled 1 and the minifigure bag is labelled 2.  Also included are the 36 page instruction booklet and a sheet of DJ related stickers.  Although not exactly specified, I counted 163 pieces for this set, based on the instruction booklet.

Let's Build!

Here's the control centre of the sound system and accompanying speakers.  Based on the colour selection, it looks like this set is meant for girls to build.  I suppose one could replace all the purple and pink blocks with dark gray to make it less "Friends" style.


Here's a closer look at the front of the control centre.


And here's the control centre from the DJ's perspective.  Those are printed pieces for the turntable, and equalizer controls.


Here are the translucent screens for the back of the DJ booth.  The two signs are printed as well.



Here's the completed DJ booth, equipped with control centre and speakers.  It's completed by the lights affixed to the ceiling.  For extra effect, there are flames shooting up on both sides.


Finally, here is the star of the set, the DJ.  The minifigure is wearing a crop top with a blue blazer and matching shorts.  She's sporting a chain that says RICH on it.  What really stands out is her super giant afro style hair.  I can't say that I like it, because it's way too big for her head, made of soft rubber and is loose on her head.  The rubber actually comes off on her head, so I have to continually clean it up.  I think I would prefer just a regular plastic hairpiece.   That would be my only nit about this set.
The DJ comes with a laptop and a set of headphones, which can't be used with the hairpiece.  


Here's the DJ rocking it out in her colourful booth!  


I added some of my own minifigures to groove to the latest tunes!


Final thoughts


This was a really fun set to put together.  I think young kids would really enjoy this set.   Instructions were easy to follow and brick quality and clutch was decent.  I liked the fact that Pantasy used printed parts instead of stickers.  

I think the only improvement to the set would be if they changed the hair piece of the DJ.   And maybe added one or two more minifigures to dance to her tunes.


Almost forgot to mention that these were the spare parts I had leftover from the build.  And that sticker sheet?  I guess the stickers were not for the set after all, one could probably use the stickers for their laptop, book covers or skateboard, I'd guess.




Thanks for checking out my review of the Pantasy P-Box DJ set 98001.   See you in my next post, bye!
