“The set is fine, but it is also nothing special. It would be a perfect choice for parents looking to get their Bionicle-fan child something fun without spending much money. If you have a few more dollars to spend, however, I would recommend going for one of the large... More Phantoka, which have superior construction, pose-ability, "playability," and accoutrements.”

“Kirop's claw blades are not too rare, but like some other sets, I think they look good on him. His mask, which I found out is a Noble Shelek, is awesome! It can be used in an MOC with some kind of actual hand-claw, and it might even scare me, and I am a teenager! The entire... More arms and legs are exactly opposite in color. (ex. arms are the same color as feet, and "hands" are same color as legs.”
