“All in all, it's a fun little set, but with Jack and the green crystal included in other sets in the Monster Fighters line, the Swamp Creature is the only thing really unique to this set.”

“This is the smallest of the Monster Fighters sets which is not packaged in a polybag, but despite the small size, this is a great set in my opinion! The two Minifigures are both excellent and the two little models are not bad either.”
