41011- Stephanie's Soccer Practice

I'll not complain about the overuse of purposely "girly" coloured bricks in this Friends set, as it's not really too bad.  I actually got two of these sets since it only comes with one goal post and a proper footie game needs two, really.











Set comes with goalpost, sideline/bench area, obstacle training area, and a mechanism to set the ball in motion.  See below for back of box image.











Stephanie isn't pictured, but she is wearing a white/light blue footie shirt with the number 7 printed on it and some other small printed torso detail and dark blue cropped pants.  Seems as though if Friends characters are wearing pants, they are cropped ones.  We also get a cute little brown Friends dog, which you can see an alternate view of below.  Doggie sports a light blue bow, which we get an extra of and can use on Stephanie herself.  We also get a nice bone to treat the dog with.








The sideline area is really well done and comes with a red flower bunch, a banana, a pink mug, and my favourite, a Lego model water cooler.  Honestly, the cooler's adorableness sends me into giggles.









The goalpost is a really basic structure, but it's a goalpost afterall and there's not much you can do with that.  We get a small grassy area to set our ball on, which is helpful.  The ball itself is white, with a violet printed symbol of a heart enclosed in a star.  There's small indentations in the ball where the stitching would be, which I find a great detail.

The obstacle training course is made up of four orange cones to help our figures (or the dog) get that serpentine thing down pat.  There's a white cheese wedge on one end of the course, which I think is to help place the ball somewhere in that area so it doesn't roll away, but I can't be sure.  The kick-off mechanism in the final section is an interesting touch and can really set the ball flying.








Notable extras include a blue bow, dog bone, and grey water faucet.
