Lord Of The Fries Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, I don't normally post in these forums as I am a Star Wars fan but I did pick this set up a few days ago and wanted to review it, so without further adu I present to you: 8073 Manta Warrior Set Details: Price: $5 Theme: Atlantis Minifigures: 1 Brick Count: 14 Released: 2009 Box: On the box it shows the Manta Warrior swimming around with his trident guarding the rock . In the background there is a mountain holding a crystal on top as well. The Instructions: Only six steps (if you don't count the minifig) but it is easy to read and you can tell the colours apart really easy because most of the pieces are bley and dark bley. The other side shows the other Atlantis sets that came out in the same wave. You can also see this set's counter part, 8072 Sea Jet. All of The Parts: Not many parts (14 in total!) but we get a Golden Trident and a Dark Green Weed and a few other useful pieces. The Build: Step 2 should like this, a 2x3 bley plate with a 1x2 dark bley slope on it. This is what step 4 is. You have just added a few more pieces on to the rock. By step 6 the rock should be completed. The Minifigure - Front: The only fig in this set is a Manta Warrior. It looks pretty neat but could've had one of those Atlantis Rings with it. The Minifigure - Back: No back print, but he's got his headtail there so that's fine. Headpiece Removed: His head has some fine printing on it. It Looks alright. The Headpiece - Front: A close up of the headpiece. Has some good printing on it. The Headpiece - Back: This side's alright as well. The Completed Set: Pretty fine lookin' set to me . The Spare Piece: Nothing much to say about this. THE FINAL VERDICT: Price: 10/10. Meh, for $5 it's alright. Design: 8/10. Could've used a bit more cheese slopes to put on the rock. Playability: 5/10. You don't really play with it unless you have 8072, then you could have a mini war . Minifigure: 9/10. TLG should've given us an Atlantis Ring. Parts: 7/10. Some good parts but I still think it needed a few more cheesers. TOTAL: 39/50 Bonus: "I'm King of the World!" Thanks for reading my review!
