Mask Maker vs. Skull Grinder Reviews
New Elementary
“While the set as a whole is significantly larger than other sets this year, the included figures are not necessarily comparable to classic “titan" sets—Ekimu is only slightly larger and more complex than $10 sets like the Protector of Fire, while Kulta is about the same size... More as the $20 Tahu but significantly leaner (being a skeleton and all).”
BIONICLEsector01
“The set stands out as arguably the best of Wave 2, what with having actual combatants (a feature now missing in the Wave 2 medium sets, given each set up to this point had at least one Skull Spider to fight off) and a highly exclusive mask to have. For $30 USD, it's easily a... More good deal all around. I'm tempted to pick up a second just to fix my Ekimu's back armor. And to get another Mask of Creation.”
