    Theme: Power Miners
    Name : Crystal King
    S/N : #8962
    Year : 2009
    Pieces : 168
    Minifig : 2
    Price : RM93.90

    Box
    As usual, Power Miners is all about lime green and the little rock monster, but this year we got bigger one and of course the king as well. Two guys in the underground battling the crystal king looks just good to show the set. The side show us the minifig scale while the back is about the functions, although is nothing special.






    Content
    Inside the box are two packet of bricks, a separated pack of crystal king head and an instruction book. The good thing about this set is that it is sticker free! (^^)





    The instruction book contains bricks and set checklist, cool posters and of course advertisement for the whole line Power Miners theme.

    Here are some interesting pieces, especially the new big head and the printed slope piece. They are just nice.


    Accessories
    We got four trans-neon crystal piece included and a dynamite but the crystal will be attach to the crystal king later.


    Minifigs
    Two minifigs are included in this set. Both of the minifigs have both side of their torso printed, legs printed and of course both side of head with different expression printed. We got a visor included too.




    Here’s some driller pack to fight the crystal king (-_-“). The minifig also lose his balance after this pack is attached.




    Crystal King
    Here's the big guy, the crystal king. It looks pretty good to me, but there is flaw too which is the short leg he possess that lead to less articulation.






    Here's the big head of his, which is come molded, a new piece it is. The fun thing of this head is that the mouth is movable, more like jaws falling down when it opens too wide. LEGO include this guy a neck too, which makes it much more better.






    Here's the movable finger, but I prefer those drone than this clippers and also the short leg which have clips to support the base.








    Extra pieces
    Here's some extra pieces we get after finish assembling this monster.


    Completed model
    Here's the completed model, the king and the two little people that try to attack him. Nice shot isn't it? (^^)


    Playability: 8/10 Quite nice pose the crystal king can do.
    Design : 8/10 The crystal king is pretty well design, except for the leg of course.
    Price : 6/10 The price is average.
    Overall: 7/10 A very nice set with cool design, but maybe kids can't afford it themselves.
