“Vorox is one of the best Bionicle's Lego have ever made in my opinion. He has heaps of new pieces and is really fun to play with. I'm gonna say that the shoulder and leg armour is Vorox's because it comes in Skrall but Vorox is better so he gets them. The stinger tail is... More great to and Lego have cleverly used the original Toa foot as a tail base. The mask is simply great ingenuity. It looks scary and scorpion-like, a combination which could be a serious threat to even Mata Nui.”

BrickEconomy Member Review
“The LEGO Bionicle Vorox (set 8983) from the Glatorian line is a standout figure that captures a desert scorpion aesthetic with its desert-camo coloring and a stinger tail that adds a fierce touch. Its articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and neck stalk, offers great poseability, while the detailed mask design and large sword with Technic customization options make it a dynamic addition to any collection.”
