" I have to say, I'm quite impressed with this Bionicle Villain! The theme for the Bionicle villains are skeletons and I think that's a great idea! I gotta admit that I am scared of skeletons, but this guy turns out to be pretty cool. First, I definitely give credit to the LEGO Bionicle Team for creating the cool motions of the 4 arms. I have no problems with how all 4 arms move, so the actions for playing with this figure are good. Skull Slicer is built with mostly bone parts and only 2 armor pieces with a silver spike (or 2 spikes if you count the extra spike) and additional shoulder armor. I like that kind of design because undead skeletons are supposed to look thin. The silver bone pieces are interesting, but the downside is that you cannot put any armor or pieces on it because of the lack of ball joint in the center. I love the green bone pieces because of the transparent green color!. Skull Slicer's rib cage armor also has the transparent green, which I do appreciate. However, you should be careful with the sharp rib spikes on the side! I noticed that the instructions show a small gray Technic pin that is hidden on the back of Skull Slicer. I think that it is used to connect and combine with the other sets, so you can try to look up the combiner instructions on the Bionicle page. His weapons consist of 3 serrated swords and a chained claw. The swords are quite useful for making barbaric characters or maybe a tribe warrior (but I gave the 3 swords to Tahu instead! =D). The chained claw uses a droid body to connect 2 Skull Spider leg pieces and chain in transparent orange along with a Minifig Gun. It can grip onto pieces, but sometimes looses its grip. The set also has the transparent green and solid gold Lewa mask. It looks great on Lewa, but not on Skull Slicer (Yuck!). Skull Slicer also uses a silver Skull Spider as a mask which definitely gives him a spider theme to him as well. Skull Slicer's feet also has some Technic pieces to support his heel, so posability works fine. The color scheme is somewhat inconsistent however. There is orange, silver, and green flying all over this guy. I personally prefer just orange eyes and green and silver pieces. So now is time to sum this up with pros and cons-
Pros-Skeleton and Spider theme
Cool Swords and Chained Claw
Supported Heels
Great Play Value with 4 Arms
Green and Silver Bone Pieces
Shoulder Armor
Skull Spider Mask
Cool Swords and Chained Claw
Supported Heels
Great Play Value with 4 Arms
Green and Silver Bone Pieces
Shoulder Armor
Skull Spider Mask
Cons-Inconsistent Color Scheme
Claw sometimes doesn't grip
Only 1 Shoulder Armor
Claw sometimes doesn't grip
Only 1 Shoulder Armor
Overall, I think this set is very well done! I am a huge fan of Bionicle and I think this set is a great addition to the series! Thanks for reading and I'll see you next time! =D

Don't Play With Fire! Tahu is back!
" Tahu is another favorite character of mine! I recieved him after Lewa since I was a kid and yes, I also kept Tahu on my display shelf. The new Tahu is very reminiscent of the 2001 and 2002/3 version! His build took a LONG time! There is a lot of building when it comes to making the gear box and its functions. I love the fact that the gear box is playable and posable too! Tahu comes with golden swords and HUGE fire swords that combine to make a lava board! He also have golden armor and a variety of red pieces with transparent red orange colors. His mask also reflects on his old design. He is almost the same size as Furno XL! He even towers over the new Lewa! The mask popping feature is nifty, but it causes the mask to pop off too often. The extension pieces make friction in his legs, allowing for more stable action poses! However, his shoulder armor also gets in the way of the action feature and even knocks off the mask! Well, besides that, Tahu is pretty cool! Pros and Cons time!
Pros- Another favorite character, red, gold, silver, and trans red orange colors define Tahu as the hero of Bionicle! 4 swords... It's awesome, the lava board is very cool, coverage on his back is very well done, especially with the gray ball joint attachment, extension pieces increase his size, head looks great with his mask, skull spider is SCARY as ever, and who could forget the fact that LEGO finally made red body armor! =D
Cons- Mask is too loose, shoulder armor gets in the way of playability, lava board sometimes topples over, and pieces get loose from friction of gear.
Overall, I'm super happy about this set! Tahu is back and more powerful than he ever was! I would definitely recommend this set to the Bionicle fans! 10/10! Yes! Thanks for reading and Happy Holidays! merry Christmas and Happy New Years! =D

Lewa is back!
" I have to say... Lewa was my first Bionicle character that I received since I was 5 years old and I still have him on my display shelf now. Buying the new Lewa was very nostalgic and I'm very happy about it! The set has a great color scheme of light green and orange yellow along with bits of silver pieces. And who could forget the mask! It's looks like a combined version of Lewa's 2001 and 2002/3 mask, which I do appreciate a lot! Lewa also has his swords and axes, which can attach to his arm to make wings! His size is pretty tall, thanks to the use of the extension pieces. Also, the armor pieces look just like the original armor pieces from the past years. While this set does have positives, it also has its negatives. The silver spike pieces can sometimes get in the way for the playability feature. The gears work fine, but sometimes get jammed because the friction makes the pieces loose. I also had to rearrange the gear box because it blocks Lewa's head. Now for the Pros and Cons!
Pros- He is my favorite character! Good size and shape, nice swords (or katanas) and axes with propellers in them, the flying mode, golden mask, silver pieces of armor, great coverage in the back and shoulders, skull spider also has a VERY creepy design, especially with the modified HF Claws, and goes great with the Protector of Jungle/Wind!
Cons- Gear function is too tight, pieces get loose and jam the gear box, shoulders are too high, silver spike pieces stick out, mask jumps off and is a bit loose.
Overall, Lewa is pretty cool in his 2015 design. I'd definitely recommend this set to anyone who is a Bionicle fan! Thanks for reading and have a happy holiday! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! =D

Fired up and ready to deliver air support!
" Furno's Jet Machine was a very good idea in the Hero Factory them. I just wanna say, Furno will always be my number one Hero! The mech suit is very articulated, but no hands for the arms though. The color scheme is red just like Furno, which I do appreciate! Furno also gets his original Fire Swords/Guns as his weapons for defense! That was a perfect idea! It's better to give Furno his original weapons, never give it to the Fire Lord of Jawblade. I like the canister on the mech's back and the cool jet packs too! For the minifigures, well it's pretty neat! Furno is inches taller than a normal minifigure and comes with his defensive gun and fire extinguisher, very useful against Jumpers. Speaking of Jumpers, those are very fun to play with! Furno has a minifig skeleton though, which is a bit disappointing. I guess they needed an actual skeleton for the Heroes after all. Now for Pros and Cons! YAY!
Pros-Color scheme is consistent with red,
Original swords/guns,
Fire theme is very cool, especially for Furno!
Canister holds other things all well,
Furno minifig is tall and has enough posability,
Cockpit is neatly designed,
and Furno is always my favorite Hero!

Cons-Not enough joints for the mech arms,
No hands for the mech,
Furno minifig can't twist his wrists,
Minifig Skeleton is used instead,
Tan technic piece breaks from Jumper color scheme
Cockpit is on the body, leaving an extra joint on the neck,
No shooting action, and Furno has different eye color.

Overall, this is a very good set! Furno's Jet Machine has some little tweaks, but it's design was very creative and very fun to build! It's also very good when combined with the Evo Walker too! Thanks for reading and see you next time! =D

Electric Gun Flying Mage!
" In Role Playing Games, there is the person who uses magic to protect people and that person is called The Mage. Thankfully, Lego has turned Mark Surge into that person! Mark Surge has his original color scheme as usual (Blue, silver , and yellowish green). He is all covered in armor and has an electric, sword, staff, gun that shoots electricity. It has a cool spinning action to it, making it look like he's shooting it. He also comes with a drone from Stormer XL set. I thought it was his shield (you know, the everyone with a shield thing Lego was doing) and it could be used as one. He also comes with a jet pack that uses William Furno XL shield parts, which makes it wings (it's a wing shield!). It also comes with flick fire missiles that you can shoots by flicking with your fingers. It also uses two green lasers (Lego Star Wars light saber blades) as his fuel for flying, which doesn't make sense because you need fire to fly not lasers (so Lego should have replaced the pieces with fire pieces instead). His visor is yellowish green and it has printing on it, which gives it detail. Now to sum up with Pros and Cons!
Pros: Color Scheme
Electric Gun (or sword staff).
Jet pack.
Drone Shield.
Transparent armor.
Visor with printing.
Two hands!
Taller than his normal height.

Cons: Lasers as fire.

The Lancer Of The Team!
" Nathan Evo looks really cool in this set! In Role Playing Games, there's always the guy who uses the spear to protect people and he's called The Lancer. Lego has thoughtfully turned Nathan Evo into that guy! He stays with some of his color scheme (yellow and gun metal gray), with some new colors like green, orange, and blue. He comes with a spinning, drill, propeller, claw, spear that, obviously, spins the two blades which is really cool. You can also wield it two handed and put it on his back as well. He's gotten slightly taller than his 2.0 and Breakout (4.0) versions of himself and changes his color scheme. The visor is just plain sky transparent blue, but who can complain. Fore arms are small, which means no armor. Now to sum up with pros and cons!
Pros: His spear! Just his spear!
Color Scheme.
Visor.
Taller than his usual height.
Two hand. (finally)
Put weapon on his back.

The Aqua Goblin With Lightsabers?
" I have to say it was really hard to understand what this creature was. It lives in the water, but it looks like a goblin from fantasy era themes. So to me it looks like an underwater goblin. Aquagon is kind of a cool, but it's simple to build the set. The aqua water blades (I like to call them lightsabers) are really cool and it uses the original Lego Bionicle Piraka feet, which is also cool, but it's just so simple. The blue brain bug is cool and the mask is also cool as well. There's no action to the set except for the sword combination with the silver handle pieces at the bottom of his hands. So to sum this up, pros and cons!
Pros: Cool lightsabers (or aqua water swords) in transparent blue.
Cool mask (reminds me of goblins).
The color scheme is great (yellow, blue, and black).
Good old Lego Bionicle Piraka Feet.
Sword combination.
Cool mask (reminds me of goblins).
The color scheme is great (yellow, blue, and black).
Good old Lego Bionicle Piraka Feet.
Sword combination.
Cons: Simple build.
Kind of short.
No other action.
Not much armor.

Overall, this set is cool, but it just needs to improve by giving it action and more armor and detail.Thanks for reading! See you next time!

The Fire Minotaur!
" Pyrox is a really cool set to get for your collection of Hero Factory villains. This set is kind of small, but it's worth getting it. Pyrox comes with spiky lava armor, fire claws, a flamethrower (or fire staff), big horns, and a little brain-parasite-bug-leech-thing that you can put on his head. That function is really great for the villains. However, the character is kind of small even though it's packed in a bag for the taller characters. I don't know what that was about (maybe because of the piece count), but I stilled enjoyed getting Pyrox.
Pros: The flamethrower can spin for the "fire-twisting" action (like he's shooting it). The fire claws are movable and they are in transparent orange-red color (resembling fire/lava). He uses the LEGO Ben 10 tail piece as huge horns. Character is heavily based on the minotaur (half man, half bull). And he also has transparent fire armor with printing and rock spikes on his shoulders.
Cons: He's really small, fire claws can pop out sometimes, sharp pieces like the red barbs and fire piece, back is not covered, the head piece is green ( which contrasts from the red, orange, and black color), and he also has small arms.
Overall, this set is a really good set and I highly suggest getting it for your collection because I got him for mines! Thanks for reading and I'll see you later in my next reviews!

William Furno XXXXLLLL!!!!
" This sets is awesome in so many ways!
Pros-Articulation is very good, with movable parts, Lots and lots of detail added to the figure, Useful parts created in very cool styles, The arm/leg extenders help make the figure taller and add friction so he won't get loose, Cool sword and shield, Awesome cape, Coloring of this figure is in traditional red, and the visor function.
Cons-Claws on his chest make him look villainous, Cape flops around when moving him, Don't like the sharp parts like the barbs/spikes, sword, and flame pieces, Only 1 piece of yellow is used,
Shield is very narrow, When adding shoulder plates on his torso, it blocks his horizontal movement, The set was really pricey, And he only has 1 fist.

Overall, I think this is the coolest William Furno character. He is much bigger and more badder than ever (bad meaning good). This is my review for William Furno XL and check out more of my reviews. Thanks for reading! =D

BULK SMASH!
" This set is a really awesome set to buy! Bulk is now more bulkier just like his name. The set is really cool because it comes with so much detail and playability. The set is a taller version of Bulk with a lot of armor and tools to use (don't want to say weapons). It has his original mask from 7168 Bulk and uses orange, silver, and black and the new color is the dark metal gray color. He comes with hero cuffs on his torso, a zamor sphere launcher (or plasma gun), and a missile launcher.
He is the same height as 6293 Furno and also has a foot as a backpack to cover his back. The misslile launcher is cool because it has lasers and missiles. He is A-symmetrical and I don't like his left arm because it's smaller than his right arm, but I guess it's supposed to look like the plasma gun is built in his arm so I'm okay with that. They also put the paw pieces as armor for his neck/shoulders, but that limits his movement for his head. Now to sum things up with Pros and Cons.
