Overview

Attached to the cover of Issue 3 of the Hidden Side Comic is Parker L Jackson. She appears in a lot of the Hidden Side sets, but this is her first appearance in the comic line. This comic was on sale in the UK between 11th December 2019 and 7th January 2020.

Packet

The foil pack that is attached to the comic is of the flap type which has a very sticky flap holding the pieces in. The front shows Parker, looking very stern, hunting ghosts with her mobile phone and laptop. Behind her is a pink ghost and a green ghost. The suggested age is 7+, which as ever seems far too high compared to other comics that have lower ages.

On the back of the packet is an image of Spencer, the dog from the series. Along with the safety information is the 1:1 image of Parker's phone.

Minifigure

The main element of this set is the minifigure and other than Parker you only get two extra parts. Parker is exactly the same as the one within 70419 (Wrecked Shrimp Boat) which is the only other set that she appears in as she does here. She has a double-sided head with the printing of two faces. One face is happy and the other is far more determined.

Main Build/Parts

There is no additional build here other than the Minifigure. The only parts you get are Parker's mobile phone, which comes with every set that she is in, and you get a black laptop. The laptop only appears in black in 8 sets, so is quite rare.

Verdict

The sets that appear on the comics really need to have some connectivity to the app. Currently they don't, which is a shame as that would add so much to the play value and a small mini-build could really help. As a standalone set this is quite disappointing. It's nice to add to the Hidden Side theme, but if you already have the Shrimp Boat then it won't add anything at all.

I do think that these sets are good value for money, but they could so easily be improved.
