Today is a momentous occasion. For I am doing a Bionicle
Let's start with a...
Metus Review!
Metus ReviewThe Build*grunt* Standard Avtoran/Agori build. Nothing to see here but a few recolors, new helmet (duh) and the introduction of the Iconox shield. He even uses Solek's sword...interesting, since they're both Ice-themed.
3/5
PlayabilityAgain, not much of a breakout from the standard AvGori build. His legs kind of restrict his movements and poseability. Nice shield, although perhaps a bit big on him. Sword is a bit lame, same as the Zesk/Vorox stinger tail and Solek swords.
3.2/5
Price$6 after a price cut occured. A little iffy, but still not bad. Lower it to $5 and it'd be nice. $4 would even be cool.
3.5/5
OverallMeh. Not the greates Agori IMO. Berix is definately better, and Raanu, Zesk and Tarduk all look like they could be better.
3.2/5
Now it's time for...
Berix!
Berix ReviewThe BuildWell, it's not like you expect a lot from an AvGori build. But as far as AvGori go, he ain't that bad. Nice colors, parts, pretty good helmet (although it was recycled by Ackar -_-); nice all around set. I mat be mistaken, but his sword is a recolor of Tahu Mata's sword. In fact, most of his pieces are recolors.
3.8/5
PlayabilityWOW. This exceeded expectations. Good shield, but not a lot of defensive coverage. Sword is good, tube is a bit...questionable. Overlookable though. Nice poseability, he can strike a good battle pose too. Almost everything about him works out. It would be nie if his sword was a bit longer, but that's about the only problem.
4.2/5
PriceSame as Metus. Price cut improves the set, but a few dollars lower would be nice. You're getting more for your money than Metus though.
3.8/5
OverallEXCELLENT AvGori set. Good value for money, nice pieces, etc.
3.9/5
And last but not least....
Kiina!
Kiina Review!!The BuildGood build. Nice change from the standard Inika clone. Good pieces, some new stuff. I mean, not that wonderful, but still a nice change of pace. A few more pieces would be appreciated.
8.2/10
PlayabilityNIIIIIIIICE. Good spear, OK armor, nice helmet, everything works out except the arm and leg armor. It prevents some movements...but nothing horrible. Good coloration as well. It's easy to pose; The movie role kinda seals the deal. This is a GREAT set you can play with.
9.2/10
PriceIt used to be $13. Thankfully, it was lowered to $10. PERFECT price right there. $10 works out well.
10/10
OverallKiina has been, in my opinion, the breakout set of 2009. It's a good set to play with, probably the best Glatorian of the year. Perhaps a bit of a lightweight, maybe a bit more bulk would be nice. But other than that, it would be probably one of the best sets in the past few years.
9.1/10
Whew. I'm tired. No more reviews for a while from me.
