Recommendation: yes 45 / 50 by Brickthing

Fangz is an excellent set, primarily for his departure from humainoid villains and for his trans-orange pieces. As a non-sentient predator, he doesn't have as much character previous villains, but that doesn't mean he's any less of a formidable opponent for a Hero.

Recommendation: no 3.9 / 5 from 22 reviews

I bought my 5 year old son's first Lego Hero Factory for him with reservations because I thought I would have to be the one to put it together for him and I didn't want a bunch of little parts laying around when he lost interest. When I saw how easy it was for him to put together we've continued to add to his collection and I've bought them to have on hand for rewards, birthday presents, for friends, etc. He now makes them himself and has had fun altering them with each other's parts. They are very rewarding educational toys. The prices are very reasonable as well.

Fangz is a decent set with some noticeable flaws, but they shouldn't get in the way of enjoying him too much. If you're a builder, he comes with a decent amount of good pieces. If you're more into role play, he is good for posing and attacking hapless Heroes. If you're into the story… well, I don't know all his abilities, but he's named Fangz, so you'll still have to get over that. He'll probably be a $12.99 USD set, and if he is the only Hero Factory beasts you purchase, you won't be disappointed.
