“For LEGO Bionicle fans, this figure helps to bring the battle of good (the Protectors) versus evil (the Skull Spiders) to life. Kids will especially love acting out this spider's death-lock attack with its easy-to-operate grip-and-crush function. We just wish it came with at... More least one smaller Skull Spider like the other sets to further the roleplay.”

“This figure is very reminiscent of the Rahi Beasts from 2001. It has a nice complicated build, however the function lacks the coolness factor of its 2001 counterparts. The nicest thing it has is the Gold Skull Spider Mask, and its face print. It is a good set for... More completionists, but maybe not the best for causual BIONICLE fans.”
