Ekimu the Mask Maker Reviews
BZPower
“71312 is, I think, a really good set. I say "really good" and I mean just that; this version of Ekimu brings a lot of interesting stuff to the table, from his dominantly-transparent color scheme, to his sturdy-looking silhouette, to his dual gear functions, and a gorgeous... More recolor of the Mask of Creation. But the set isn't perfect. The legs, from a design standpoint, are weak, and 71312 comes with a disappointingly small number of new or recolored pieces.”

New Elementary
“Once built, the new version of Ekimu is easily recognizable despite his increased size (30 modules/9? inches/24 centimeters in height). He may not use a whole lot of new pieces, but the amount of parts and colors shared with his previous form works to his advantage by... More creating a sense of continuity between his previous and current forms. The increased amount of Tr. Light Blue, especially on his torso and mask, gives him a sort of “spirit" look.”
