Cendox V1
okay here we go with another review. This time, I'll be reviewing Crotesius' battle vehicle Cendox, this year's smallest vehicle.
Box:
The box does it's job. It's eye catching, with everything you need to know about the set(kinda). The blue background contrasts nicely with the yellow vehicle and the red pilot. Turning over the bow is another pic of Cendox and the agori, with it's features shown too.
Building:
It's a decent build. Not too exiting, although the ability to turn is a nice add on. Some parts of he build seemed a bit crammed in, like the rocket boosters on the back and under the front, but they add a nice feel to the set, which is good. The front blades are really loose(and at first I did not like that), but after testing out the set by running it over the ground I found out that they had to be loose to allow for maximum turning ability. The looseness of the front also allows the set to maneuver over many different terrain types.
Pieces:
New Pieces:
-Crotesius reversable helmet(this is so cool!)
-Kiina Fin in Yellow(should be a good MOCing piece)
-Treads (20x).
Recolours and interesting pieces:
-Black Life Counter(used for tread)
-Yellow Giant Cog(not sure what this is. It's for the tread though.)
-Many Yellow pieces
-Red Agori body(high shoulders)
-4 bent Agori limbs
-Dark Red Hands(2)
-Dark Red Bohrok Feet
-Two Black Brutaka Blades(useful)
-Thornax and Launcher
Not too many new pieces here, but for a small vehicle they're decent. The Kiina Fin should be useful.
Playability:
This is where this set comes out most. It zooms across the floor(provided the floor isn't wooden) and can turn! Add to the fact that you get an Agori(usually 8$ CAD) in a 25$ set, and this thing becomes a deal. While the Agori himself isn't interesting at all, the vehicle is great fun. And you can play the SUPERACTIONFIGUREGAME with this too.
Overall:
Pros:
-Vehicle and Figure for only 25$
-Cool mask
-Yellow K-Fin
-Playability is excellent
-Good MOCing pieces
-It can turn and steer
Cons:
-Agori is boring
-Build is not too exiting(and at times seems crammed together)
-Not many new pieces
Overall this set is deifinately worth it. Although I'd recommened Skopio over this every day of the year, if you don't want to fork over that much money this set is deinately a strong competitor for a good set.
9/10
