Recommendation: yes 46 / 50 by VBBN

Meltodwn is a fantastic figure. Sure, he's not the biggest set there is, but he's comprised of almost entirely new or recolored pieces, and the pieces that aren't, are still excellent MOCing pieces, such as the yellow mantax claws and skrall armor. His design is unique and the color scheme is excellent.

Grandchildren love legos. Great toy and makes fun and inventive play time. A nice container is a must if you have legos

Meltdown's worth a purchase. While Corroder may appeal to the MOCing crowd with his slew of useful pieces, Metldown is more rounded for the various demographics. He certainly doesn't lack good pieces, being granted with the interesting bricks detailed above as well as two of those angle-connectors and much more; that and the classic yellow will make him drool-worthy to the MOCists, for starters. But his cool looks and villainous theme will appeal to the casual and character fans, as well as the children looking for a nasty Bad Guy to fight their heroes. Finally, its enjoyable build can net general fans of build-able figures. Meltdown features a little bit of something for everybody: all he's missing is major storyline significance, so far.
