rew12 Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Here is a picture review of Karzon. Sorry for a newbie review style :$ . Thanks Visorak-Kahgarak from Brickshelf for the space for images! THE BOX The the most superficial part of any LEGO product, but the one that often determines whether or not the set is a success or failure. 1 2 The canister is a cool metal can. A bit unusual, it isn't very useful maybe, but I like it! Front shows Karzon with lighnings in background, and back shows his face, his torso mechnism and all six knights megafigs. WHAT'S IN THE BOX? So you've bought it and taken it home (or at least made it to the car), punched the perforated tabs and dump out the contents. What do you get for your money? 1 Inside the can you get building instruction and LOTS of new pieces. 1 2 See? :biggrin: The new armor, spiked flail and shield ROCKS!!! They're really cool! BUILDING EXPERIENCE What can you expect while putting this model together? 1 Took me ten minutes to put this guy together :cool: . And about 15 minutes to disassemble him :-D . Funny, isn't it? The whole model isn't too difficult, BTW the leg armor pieces are normal stud-tube system, and his helmet has an axlehole in back. PLAYING EXPERIENCE So you've got the model together, but is it more like playing with a block of wood or an interactive toy? 1 This guy hasn't any newer things in overall building, just great glitter parts. Even his torso mechnism is normal: 1 OVERALL Here's where it all boils down to whether the model is worth your money and time or not. 1 I think this guy is worth your money, especially for the glitter parts and spiked flail, and round shield, and... :unsure: I think its enough. Here are some pics of Karzon compared to Sir Rascus: 1 2 Overall: 9/10 Pieces: 10/10 Price: 8/10 Playability: 9/10 Quote
Zane Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 You need to deep-link the pictures. And the division into sections is annoying, I only did it because the Axonn review was for BZP... Oh well. TT Quote
rew12 Posted February 15, 2006 Author Posted February 15, 2006 I edited this and now should be okay... Quote
KMOI Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Looks fantastic! Man, those bad guys are really growing that facial hair. Bet we'll have a full blown sasquatch by the time Knights Kingdom 4 rolls around. :D Anyhoo, division into sections is just fine. I mean check out all the other reviews in the mech section! ALL DIVIDED. Just check out my Stealth Hunter review for proof. :) http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...?showtopic=3201 Quote
prateek Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 what the **** is wrong with his face!?! Quote
Evil Willy Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Yah whats going down, its blue... Thats strange? Quote
optimus-convoy Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 This guy looks pretty cool. He's got a ruff look to him. And that flail looks really nice... Quote
The Hordesman Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 what the **** is wrong with his face!?! Good question, is there something wrong with his face? Karzon rocks. Sure, I just bought him to steal his shield, but he rocks anyhow. I LOVE his face- sure, this means we get another one-eye minifig, but an interesting one nontheless. Quote
rew12 Posted February 16, 2006 Author Posted February 16, 2006 What are you talking about "something's wrong with his face"? Quote
Cutty Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 bought this set today and it is pretty nice. the armour-parts, once you do it right, might have potential to be incorporated into evil/alien-scenery/architecture. The face is genius! Half-blind (accidentally on the side he is holding his ball'n'chain? ^^) and ultra scruffy. I do hope we get an equal face for one of the serpent rogue knights in the minifig-sets. Another one or two of his shield might make for cool architectural material (snake-tower/castle, etc.). All in all, a nice set. Though here's one thing I observed first on this set. On the bottom of the can it says: "Components made in Denmark and China"... does Lego really produce our beloved ABS in kung-fu-country now? ;) *wacko* Quote
rew12 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Posted February 18, 2006 "Components made in Denmark and China" Yeaah... :sleep: Even Muscle Slammer Bike has Chinese parts... Hmm. :dry: Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted March 28, 2006 Governor Posted March 28, 2006 I'd like to review this set however coming from a strict SYSTEM mentality I'm at a loss as how to get it a fair review. The pieces seem too alien to me and appart from the chain and pins I couldn't find a use for them in anything I'd create. I suppose the benefit of this action figure style Knights Kingdom character is it provides Knights Kingdom sets with similiarities to Bionicle. I'm wondering what is their potential for MOCing? Has anyone created or seen an entirely new creation made from these sets? Quote
gylman Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 The clicky joints are highly useful ifyou can get them in useful colours (like red or black), or hide them inside the creation. They support a lot of weight with minimal size and loss of posability. My Santa of Doom used them to good effect. Beyond that..... my limited imagination has not found much to do with these sets.
