Uxar - Creature of Jungle

The return of Bionicle has certainly impressed me. It's been a year since Bionicle returned and Hero Factory ended. Although I still miss Hero Factory, this is a worthy replacement. Lego has once again managed to prove their creativity through this amazing set. The body, legs and head are all just what you would expect for a creature. They are simple designs that aren't hard to imagine of. His overall color scheme is great, as the silver and grey complement each other well. Yellow is a good backup color, translucent green gives it the jungle vibe and every color fits in very well. I'm not sure if the grey is needed, but it blends in well and doesn't affect anything, as I already stated it complements the silver. The surprise of this set comes mainly in the wings, which I can only call "majestic". It looks absolutely amazing and very well designed, despite not being the most stable. It actually makes the set look real in a way, considering it pulls off the hummingbird look very well. The tail is good, although it has some limited rotation angles. The Shadow Trap included is probably my favorite out of the bunch. It has some creativity and uniqueness to it with the tail and the vines, giving it a jungle look. There really isn't much else to say about the set. It's just a pleasure to look at, with a good feature within the wings. The wings itself are well-made, and you can tell Lego put effort into it. Like with Lewa, this is possibly my favorite set of its kind. I originally expected the phoenix-like Ikir to be my favorite, but along with Lewa, they managed to become my favorite of both their kinds (Onua was originally my favorite Uniter). Their combination model is a clone of Tahu and Ikir's but this one seems to have more flavor with the amazing wings, jungle vibe, etc. This set is among the best sets in all of Bionicle Gen. 2, and may even have a spot or an honorable mention in my Top 10 Best Bionicle Sets List. more less

Uxar makes for an excellent creature, especially for his price of $9.99 USD. The wings have a great action feature to make them flap, and their size also makes Uxar look huge! There are a few minor issues, like his hollow head, but overall I think he turns into a fun creature that can be flown around with ease. more less

I'm not a huge fan of Uxar. Yeah, he's a good set in the sense that he has a good color scheme, his function is the best of the wave (shared with Ikir since both can work in their united modes) and he has some great new and recolored parts. But visually I'm personally not fond of...whatever Uxar is supposed to be. more less

The completed Uxar resembles a large flying insect. It uses the new crystal blades and System flap elements to great effect as huge “sonic crystal wings" that flap when you raise and lower the “stinger" on its back. In terms of its color scheme, Uxar augments the Bright Green and Trans. Bright Green typical for Jungle sets with Bright Yellow spikes — and the use of Bright Yellow as an alternative color for cross axles with odd-numbered lengths only augments the effectiveness of this accent color. Altogether, Uxar is one of my favorite creatures. It looks great from every angle and its function is impressive whether it's on its own or “united" with another set like the new Lewa. more less

This set is just the bees knees. (Is Uxar supposed to be some sort of bee?) It's got a great look, it's massive, and its gear function is a thing of beauty. And hey, even if you don't have Lewa, I'd still recommend getting this set. What, are you going to let "the man" tell you who Uxar can and can't catch a piggyback ride with? Of course not. You're a free spirit who deserves an Uxar! more less

As a solo creature, Uxar is okay. Great coloring, and a neat design (even if I can't tell what exactly it's supposed to be). Throw in a Shadow Trap, which are leagues better than the Skull Spiders, and you have yourself a solid set. Top it all off with the combining feature, and there's a lot of good to be found, enough to look past the fact Uxar by himself doesn't offer much in play value. more less
