" Title says it! The pictures are wrong on this set. DEAD wrong. But only on the Skeleton minifigure. This set has Chopov in it. He has GREY armor, and a combat helmet! Not RED armor, and bald! So you get more than what the picture shows. Anyway, I guess since I started with the minifigures I might as well keep going with it.
Chopov also has a new bone piece with a bronze axe head on the end. This axe head is a new piece! The clipper on it is thicker than previouse models of it! Thus, it won't break as easily.
His armor is good, and his face is very detailed.

Jay: Jay is awsome! He has a GOOD blue color, and his medal on his ninja suite is a brozish goldish. His body and legs are very detailed, but as his face is mostly colored by a mask, Lego didn't put much effort into a mouth for him. Rather, his eyes and brows are very detailed. (can't blame 'em, it's hidden most of the time!) Jay has a new black katana, as it has a different hand guard.
Now for the coolest part of the set: The nunchucks of lightning!
They are amazing! Two handles and a small chain, all in gold, and they work so well! I'll put them in Jay's hand, then set up a skeleton and swing it at him and BAM! It knocks him over! (SEE VIDEO) I seriously like them. Plus, they are colectable and this set is a good price for them.

The motorbike itself was good, and has an interesting whacking feature. Wired. But kinda cool. Two stickers on the sides, but that's okay. It's a little to big in the back and to small in the front, but it's not that bad. The tires are rubber, and, though it doesn't really look like it on the outside, while building this set you'll find it is worth the fifteen dollars you paid for! And I'm sure you'll be building it, because by the time your done reading this you'll really want one. :p lol. Anyway, the interesting thing was that the bikes exahst pipes were STRAIGHT back! I didn't like that, and I wanted them titled upwards. So I swapped with the tilted ones in the Ice Dragon set! (Read my review for the Ice Dragon!) and both of them are now better. (see picture.)
I suppose that's all, thanks for reading and I really suggest you buy this!

" I thoroughly enjoyed this set, however, there were a few cons and some needed adjustments. To start with the set, the head was rubber. This was a pro, however, because withought it, the jaws wouldn't be flexable and the shooter wouldn't work! However, it is a little smelly, but only smellable if it is way to close to your face. The talons were a somewhat new piece, but with a new color. (ourange). The flag had a good design, and it didn't have a sticker! In fact, this whole set is sticker-free! Part of the Dragon's back is made up from the Crystel King's green and grey pieces but totally trans blue, now. They look very good on this set.
The wings were very good! At first I expected them to be dumb, because there is nothing between the ''bones'' of them! But in the end, it looks fine.
NOW FOR THE MAJOR PROBLEM!
The wings were tilted up and they couldn't move back down. I found a way to fix them! You need to swap out the slanted piece with a straight one. SEE THE PICTURES. You can get these straight ones from the Skull Motorbike. (see my review for it.)

As I've said, the dragon's jaws have an ourange thornax launcher in between them. For me, I didn't want it in there all the time. So, I took off his top and bottom jaw/head pieces off, and took out the thornax pieces. Then, I replaced the bottom thronax piece with a technic axel slot. SEE PICTURES FOR JAWLESS HEAD AND THE EXACT REPLACEMENT PEICE.
Now, onto most people's fav. part of the sets: The minifigures!
I'll start with Zane.
Zane, in this set, has a speciall dragon printed torso, complete with his symble and name on the back! His legs also have dragon printing on them. His head is decent, though, since his mask usually covers it up, they didn't put much effort into his mouth. (can't blame 'em.) His shuriken are very nice, and are rubber so as the points not be too pointy and not break. They have holes through the center, and Zane can hold any of the three sides of them. Plus, it comes with an extra shuriken in case you lose one! I gave this one to the skeleton. This set also includes a black katana.
Krazi: He was pretty good, but this is a BIG TIME marketing trick here!! Notice that on the trading card (not included. Get his card in his personal spinner set ''Krazi") he has armor, and his jester hat. Well, if you buy the spinner, you get his armor and no hat. But if you buy this set, you get his hat and no armor. See the cheat here? You have to buy BOTH sets! BUT! There is a pro to that! Both the hat and the armor limit arm movement. If you take one away, it frees up the arm more. Take your pick, either one frees them up if he has a weapon in hand.

" This was a Good Set.... hence the title. :P
The beetle (scarab) was really cool, and pretty easy to assemble. His legs are Exo-Force Robots arms, just black, with a new grey colored hands! Really cool! The best part is NO STICKERS!!!! It's all printed pieces on his shell! His eyes are this really cool gold, and the rest of the pieces ROCK! I'll leave the rest of him as a surprise for you, 'cause after reading this review, I'm SURE you'll buy it!!!

I'll leave the rest of him as a surprise for you, 'cause after reading this review, I'm SURE you'll buy it!!!
Jake Raines, the main charector of this series, is a very good minifigure, all in all. He has tan legs, that may be a new setup on the inside somehow: When I first buit him, and I tried to move his legs, they were incredibly stiff, then there was this ''Pop!" and his legs quickly but gradually loosened up. His chest piece is an all new print, and has print on his back, too! His front body has an amunition belt with many bullets all down it! The bullets are a BRAND NEW COLOR! It's a shiny bronze! The rest of the body is very cool.
His head is very very similar to Johnny Thunder's, from Orient Expidition, and his hair is Agent Chase's from Agents. No more, no less.
The campsite is small, but nice, including a turkey leg (!!!!), a small fire, and a few tan and brown bricks. The best part of the camp, in my opinion, is the little box, with extra excesories for Jake. I won't tell you what they are, as it is another surprise for you!
Finally, main feture in the set: The collectable golden crystel! It's basically just a Power Miner's Crystel for the Rock and Lava Monsters, just gold and not transparent. However, it is collectable and it's something for the minifigure and the Scarab to fight over, so it's still very good! All in all, buy this set if you have the money! If you have MORE than enough money, I suggest larger sets from this theme, but this is a great stocking stuffer, Chanukah gift, (like mine was) and a small Christmas gift. I definately suggest this set!
!!!GOD BLESS!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY CHANUKAH!

" When I first got this, I wasn't quite sure about it. I got it on sale for twenty five, rather than the whole thirty, and was glad about that. When I opened it, I started getting decided, then realized that the piece count was... rather.... SMALL! I couldn't believe how few pieces were laying there. But, I just built it and once it was done, it was terrific! It was really huge even though it had few pieces! Great set all in all!!!!:D However, there is a BIG BAD problem with the windshield: IT MOVES! A LOT! Plus, the Handle Bars aren't connected to the stearing! I solved both of these problems by taking the part that holds the windshield, and taking the bars out, put them together and made my own design so that the windshield doesn't move and the handle bars are connected. Just to let you know, this IS possible, but it's a little hard, and you need a few more pieces than those of which come in the set. So I suggest this set if you can figure out a way to fix it, and even if you can't! The windshield isn't HORRIBLE and I REALLY don't think this should keep you from buying the set! So if you have the mone, I SO suggest it!!!!
HOPE THIS HELPS!!

" Well, I really wanted Carroder for the longest time, and finally got him. He was a pretty good buy, and I don't regret it. He has much playability and is really fun. However, I got him for a... (snicker snicker) different reason... I like to be silly with my Legos. If you haven't already, you might want to go watch my silly Hero Factory stop motion videos in the Creation Lab. (Look up "AgentLevi_JesusRocks" to see me).
Pros:
Carroders weapons are HUGE!
Horn comming out of his head ROCKS!
His legs are... well, they're legs. But hey, they aren't stupid! :D
Meteor blaster's bullet looks SWEET!
Meteor blaster really fires! :D YEAH! It goes pretty fast!

Cons:
His body could have a little more armor on the front. However, it looks pretty fitting for him as it is.
2: The Meator blaster REALLY needs to be placed differently! Move it onto his claw using the same connector and all that. Stick it in the top hole on his left arm. That's what I did, and it looks GREAT! (see picture)

" Don't let the pictures fool you! This set is a full figure. When I saw the pictures on this website, and read a few reviews, I decided I'd wait. But then I just got him along with another villian, you know, just 'cause, :P, and he was more than expected!
He went together a little too easily, but other than that he was great. The canisters on his back are a reeeaally cool trans-green! The launcher works quite well, the tentacle, man, it rocks! The legs themseves make him a really cool figure! (The legs came out really cool!!!!!) I like the dangleing armor at the ankles! His head is thin plastic (it shouldn't break, it's just neat that way) and his cyclops eye is the expected trans-red dot piece. :) He also has really sweet transparent wires comming from his arms to his toxic canisters on his shoulders, but they have light green inside them! Really cool efect. His body was an interesting build, and his head is a cool design on how it goes on. Even if it did seem a little cheap. :| The claws for his hands are really neat, and all in all, he's a great figure. He's a little thin, though, and could do with some armor on his shoulders. Like some yellow Toa Metru leg armor! Yeah, that'd ROCK!!
I guess that's all,
GOD BLESS!

" I'm very happy I finally have Preston Stormer. He has been a good figure and is very enjoyable. It took me a while to get him, as he is the leader of Hero Factory making him quite popular. When I finally saw about eight of him at the stor my first thoughts were "If I don't get him now, he isn't going to be here next time. But if I do get him now, he will be here next time." Lol. I decided on buying him pretty quickly. His cute little smile makes me want to smile back. He has a very good helmet and the color scheme is very, very good!
His front armor has icicles sticking out above his head and looks very cool. The color of his core and eyes is a really sweet ice blue. The only cons I find wiht him are:

1: His weapon arm is hollow! It should've just been a hollow part that fits perfectly over his normal arm piece.
However, with such a great set, I can't complain.
However, with such a great set, I can't complain.
2: Out of my five Heroes, the only parts I've ever had break are the hands. Be very careful with them. I don't know what's wrong with them, but three of my five have a broken hand each.
3: The ice is rubber, as apposed to some other Heroes' weapons which are a plastic-rubber that is pretty tough. Preston's being rubber, makes me worried it might come off someday. But with the plastic wrap around the rubber on the beggining part, I'm not too worried.
Well, I guess that's all! Thanks for reading and I really suggest you get Stormer if you can! He's qetting a little rare so don't be caught without him when the season's over!

" First off, when I bought Von Nebula, I was all "Man, I shoud have purchased Rotor instead." And was like that a little after I built him. However, I gave him time and just kept playing with him and pretty soon, I was attatched. Von Nebula is a great set. The build was terrific! Lego fixed previouse problems with the last Makuta-like charector, Maxilos and Spniax. Maxilos' upper lego joints were attached by one peice. This made the legs quite loose. With Von, they attached them by two, a definate pro to the set. The arms are the same way, too. The spikes on his arms a really cool and evil looking. Black with blue "high-lights" on the tips of some and totally blue on others. The black hole staff is very cool with spinning blades, and the orb in the middle is black with blue stains around it. Von Nebula's head is sticking out a bit, but can easily be changed by scooting the neck joint back a spot on the conector. This also helps with his head being loose. The build of the head was very creative, as it was a typical Glatorian head, turned backwards. Attach the spikes on, then put on the black Hydroxon helmet. Just above his head are two black Borohk helmet parts! A real classic! Speaking of black, before I bought Von I thought he was going to be gun-metal-grey, but turned out he was almost totally black. Pretty cool. The lego armor is very neat, and when he is standing straight up, covors up his whole leg. His hands are the typical Piraka "chicken feet" and look very good on his hands.
Over all, Von Nebula was a very, very good purchase. I suggest him to anyone, and if you buy him and don't like him at first, I suggest you give him a little time and play with him anyway. You'll grow on him eventually, I'm sure.

" Well, Jimmi isn't the BEST Hero Factory guy, but hey, neither was how I got him! LOL! I went to the store to get Corroder or Xplode, but they weren't there. :( So I thought I'd get Stormer instead. He wasn't there. :( So, I just got Stinger. So, I opened him up in the car. And He didn't have his gun. Funny thing too, he had TWO bodies. Wierd. I went back later and got a complete one this time. ;)
Pros: Cool new parts!
Pros: Cool new parts!
Cons: The gun is REALLY bad in the front! The big bass blaster is WAY too thin! It's only cool on ONE side and the other is bad.
All in all, I like Stringer. I suggest him to you, but be warned that his weopon kinda stinks.

" I really enjoy this set. I got him with some birthday money, and I'm very happy with him! His Core is the color of the Lava Monster Combustix from Power Miners. His electrical bolts are a cool new color. His eyes are the same old yellow/green but it looks good anyway. His arms and legs (not the armor) are SHINY SILVER! The really good part is the way his weapons work: You can have them like in the picture, he can hold them a swords, or he can hold them as double bladed kind of thing. No seriously, he's supposed too! :D They all have little pictureds of them on the side of the bottle and it shows them with thier weapons in a special way! Very helpful. Well, I hope you like this review and that it helped! SO STOP DILLY-DALLYING! GET TO THE TOY STORE AND BUY HIM! :D :D :D
