MetalBeard's Duel Reviews
Brickset
“Overall a pretty good set with nice playability as well as a good looking display model. The set is full of pros, a lot of which I have mentioned, and the only real cons are the slight stability issues of Metalbeard and the grip on the sword not being perfect.”

“This was a really enjoyable build and you'll be hard pressed to find a more wacky and zany pirate design. There's nothing not to like about a pirate-mech. Metalbeard is one of the more popular characters in the movie so if you're a collector, having him in your stable of... More characters is a huge plus.”
