The Brothers Brick
“The results is quite lovely. The parts where the skin wraps around the eyes of the fish do so with remarkable accuracy, and it's quite delightful to see the koi come alive in such a satisfying way.”

“It's a fun set to build, which is much more fun to play with once built. It may just be a simple turn and move system, but you'll find yourself picking up the set every few minutes to give it a turn and watch the fish swim. It's difficult to know if this could be a concept... More to get non-LEGO building adults building.”

BrickFanatics
“This set achieves what it sets out to – the skin covers the skeleton to produce a nice fish model that moves in a very organic way. But it is fun as a novelty, an oddity in the LEGO range – LEGO building would not be much fun if each set involved building the model, then... More covering it up. With so many beautiful, detailed models available to entice adult LEGO fans into the world of the brick, LEGO FORMA 81000 Koi Model feels like an interesting LEGO set, but in no way an essential one.”
