Fantasia Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 This is a great review. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Brickthing. I think Raw-Jaw is the villain I like the most. He has the best selection of new parts; he includes more of the new Savage Planet molds than Waspix and Fangz do. I also enjoy his overall design and color scheme. Quote
Cap'n Kopaka Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Picked up a Raw-Jaw yesterday, first of my 2011 sets. I must say, this new building system is really good. The figure itself is excellent - no part except the sides are unarmored or exposed, and that doesn't even really seem to matter with how well-built he is. There are some obvious stylistic errors like the strange silver back piece and the big gap on the side, but overall I found Raw-Jaw to be a better set than most of the Bionicle ones I own. Can't say it's better than any Bionicle set because I stuck to mostly canister stuff but it's for sure one of the coolest sets I own. Hell, I want to play around with the new system but can't bring myself to take it apart! So yeah, overall it's pretty great. I have yet to get any other boxed villain but I'd highly recommend Raw-Jaw. Quote

Hey, I'm new here, but I've being MoCing with and collecting Slizers/Bionicle/HF my whole life, so I thought I'd join up here. :) On that "strange silver back piece", it seems a large number of members dislike it, but, personally, I think it was a stroke of genius. Why? Because it makes Raw-Jaw a silver back gorilla. Of course, this may have been entirely unintentional, but it's still interesting. I even kept the silver piece in a revamp I'm working on. Quote

Welcome to Eurobricks! You can introduce yourself here if you'd like to. That's a fantastic detail that I hadn't noticed. It's seems more of a technicality than a design feature, so I'm not sure if it was intentional, but I agree that it's brilliant! Quote

Unintentional genius. Oh man, that's actually pretty cool. The silver never really bothered me too much, but now I've an excuse not to be bothered by it, haha! Quote
MoralWarfare Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 ...I thought this connection had been picked up on already. Wow. Quote
