“Don't get me wrong, this is a nifty little set. However, there is just something that seems to be missing. The rock monster is by far the best part of the set, but the minifigure is pretty nice as well.”

BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The set includes two figures: Meltrox, a red rock monster with a compartment in its head for storing items, and Duke, a Power Miner character depicted here in a less favored variant yet still highly appreciated by fans for its detailed design, including a helmet and sleeveless vest.”
