“I would say that Nitroblast is best for his many new pieces, which is great if you want to start building using the new Hero Factory joint system. As a set, he's decent, but has enough undesirable characteristics that I prefer to see him as a pile of MOCing parts. The price... More of $12.99 USD might seem a little high, but I've gotten used to that price now and I think he's just as good as any of the other villain sets.”

BrickEconomy Member Review
“Nitroblast stands out with a consistent and polished design, enhanced by a red main body that provides a cohesive look from all angles. The unique mask and captivating radioactive-green eye piece add character and charm. However, the over-engineered left arm, with its stiff joints and awkward 'plasma blowtorch' concept, detracts slightly from the playability.”
