Building blocks COBI Catapult COBI-20068 173 pieces

The COBI Catapult (COBI-20068) is a 173-piece building block set inspired by Roman-era siege engines. The model recreates an onager-style catapult mounted on two skids, with a long throwing arm and a spoon-shaped cup for launching block projectiles. The set includes a Roman legionnaire minifigure equipped with a helmet (galea), segmented armor (lorica segmentata), a scutum shield and a pilum javelin, plus a printed tunic block showing hanging belts (baltea) and a base element that imitates a terrain fragment.

Advantages

This COBI Catapult set uses a simplified block mechanism with a rubber band instead of traditional twisted ropes, making the throwing arm quick and safe to operate while preserving the visual features of an onager. With 173 multicolour pieces the kit supports creative construction, improves fine motor skills and offers compatibility with other COBI figures and sets for expanding scenes or dioramas.

Suitable for

• Historical and tabletop dioramas featuring Roman military themes
• Educational play focused on ancient siege engines and Roman legionnaire equipment
• Collectors and builders who want to expand a COBI Roman army or battlefield
