“For a small set, Tunneler Beast really delivers, and the use of the shell piece on the back and the fins on the legs really fill him out while only using a few pieces. However, the clunky claw design on the hands does take away from the overall flow of the set. But besides... More the hands, Tunneler Beast is a decent monster, and the herofig Surge with his blaster will provide an ample opponent in this underground conflict.”

“Overall, the Tunneler Beast is one of my favorite sets of this wave, and a top runner for the whole year. His design is clever and looks good, that's well balanced and poseable.”
