“Overall, I'd be hesitant to recommend Crystal Beast to the casual Hero Factory buyer. There's really nothing remarkable about her design; it's a little too standard, not innovative. She also has proportion problems due to her lengthy neck, and I really don't like her hand... More design. But the trans light blue colors really work, and if you can overlook the other details, the color alone makes her great. Bulk is also a nice figure, but he's not exclusive here.”

BrickEconomy Member Review
“The LEGO Hero Factory Crystal Beast vs. Bulk set offers an engaging build with impressive translucent blue and green details, making Crystal Beast look genuinely "crystalline." Bulk’s character, although not exclusive, is well-equipped with rocket boots and a Star Wars-style launcher. The set includes multiple ways to capture Bulk—using the beast’s hand, staff, or cocoon.”
