“Being one of the more "Deluxe" figures, assembly was a bit more difficult, but nothing any adult couldn't handle. The dual ball joint system enabled the legs to have working pistons - how cool is that? It's a cool looking figure and fun to build.”

BrickEconomy Member Review
“Von Nebula (7145) offers a treasure trove of unique recolored pieces, including black Bohrok shells, Xplode spikes in black and blue, and a striking blue-and-black Tridax pod, making it a dream for MOC enthusiasts. While its consistent color scheme is a plus, the set suffers from a gappy design, protruding axles, and an unfinished-looking back. Despite these flaws, it remains a solid and visually appealing option for Hero Factory fans.”
