“A great set. $25 is a little steep considering it's more than the price of one hero and one villain seperately, ($4 more to be precise) but it's still worth getting. Vapour has some interesting weapon designs and is very cool looking, and Power-Up Bulk is a nice addition... More too. Final verdict: Recommended.”

“This is an exclusive, Limited Edition set. It's not super special, but it does have some things you won't get anywhere else. If it weren't for that silver hand piece in the regular Bulk, I'd suggest skipping the canister version for this set, because hey, jetpacks are... More awesome.”
