My expectations buying Kiina were as low as could be. I thought beyond maybe a nifty piece or two she would be a total bust. I don't know whether this low initial standard is what has made Kiina so excellent in my eyes, but that's the way she's ended up. She's got a great set of parts, she' s a set in the right direction for TLC's design team, she's got an excellent overall appearance, and she is tons of fun to play with.

So, should you get this set? I say wholeheartedly yes. Owning three Glatorian (Strakk, Vorox, Tarix), and two Legends (Mata Nui, Kiina), Kiina is probably my favorite, with only Strakk even contesting her rule. Even at full price she's worth it. If you just want to get one Legend, and you aren't a huge story fan, don't feel bad to pass on the super hyped (though I admit the hype isn't without reason) Mata Nui set and get Kiina.
