“Due to his build, Skrall has a hard time looking up, which lead to some inconveniences while posing. The swords on his arms also get in the way every once in a while, although they're not a problem. If it were real life, however, I wouldn't be suprised if he cut his own head... More off with them.”

“I admit that despite its shortcomings, Skrall is not a bad set with its $12.99 price tag; granted, I am probably not likely to buy many sets at that price. It could be argued that the original Toa cost about half as much, but we should also be aware that most of them came... More with fewer pieces; then again, with only about a third of the set having new pieces anyway, I do not know if it is really worth it.”
