Overall this is a great figure. The tridax pod is a great addition, which is unique to most of the previous series' "guns". The re-introduction of the Hordika legs give him a great look, and his double elbowed arms give him the uniqueness that he needed.

Bionicles are a wonderful gift for a child that likes to put things together. They are easy to put together and there was no frustration evidenced by either party (son or dad).

This score from amazon.com is an aggregate of 7 reviewers. The snippet above represent only one of them.

Chirox is an awesome set, and sports a great difference from the other canister sets. I love his arms, and he is truly an Evil Makuta.

There are a few nice pieces here that builders might enjoy, and I'm sure someone will want to find a good use for the new foot piece, weapons and mask. Tridax Pods are fun to drop for the people that like launching and playing. People who pose the sets and display them will find this set quite fun to experiment with, though the arms may provide a problem. Overall, I'd say that the set is worth the money paid to get it, but it's far from being a really amazing set.
