The LEGO Power Miners Claw Digger (8959-1) confronts the underground rock monster threat with robust engineering. This heavy-duty mining machine features powerful crusher claws that swing up and down, designed to smash apart subterranean rocks and retrieve precious crystals. Once loosened, its working shovel mechanism scoops up both the extracted minerals and any encroaching rock monsters that stray too close to the operation. Propelled by massive spiked wheels and powered by a huge rear engine, the Claw Digger navigates treacherous tunnels with unstoppable force. The vehicle includes an opening cockpit for the dedicated miner minifigure, accompanied by a formidable rock monster minifigure. Measuring 15 cm (6”) long, this Power Miners vehicle is ready for subterranean expeditions.
