“If you only get one set in the first half of 2012, it should be Thornraxx. If you only get two sets, they should be 2 Thornraxxes. Thornraxx is a joy to build, look at and swoosh around, and once I finally build up the heart to take him apart, I know he will be a joy to MOC... More with, providing excellent pieces to anyone's collection.”

BrickEconomy Member Review
“Thornraxx is a standout from the Breakout villains, offering a unique alien aesthetic, a creative custom torso build, and an eye-catching black, orange, and azure color scheme. With 15 points of articulation, this wasp-like creature excels in posing and playability. While the torso is slightly gappy and upper arm armor can clash, Thornraxx's imaginative design and vibrant presence make him a neat addition to any Hero Factory collection.”
