LOVED (8)

01Good stance with slightly longer lower legs giving extra height and regal appearance
02Tasteful use of bright gold color that works well with black, gray, and white scheme
03Multi-claw double-bladed tool design is well-shaped with meaningful angles

+5 more with Collector

CRITICIZED (8)

01Blade tools have poor molding quality with roughness on surface and inconsistent color
02Head/helmet proportions are odd—appears too large and doesn't read as a lion from most angles; resembles a calamari-headed squid when viewed from certain angles
03Neck appears a little too short relative to the large head

What reviewers are saying

"If you are only going to get one hero in this wave, then I would recommend Rocka."

"raqa is the main hero now he's kind of supplanted uh Ferno as the rookie who's up and coming and being the new main hero and kind of main focus of the series"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

Ecosystem

Rocka XL — The large lion helmet was designed primarily for Rocka XL, which utilizes it much better than the standard Rocka 3.0 figure.

Toa Mata (original) — Rocka 3.0 is almost on par with the original Toa Mata in terms of price and parts count.

Other 3.0 wave heroes — Rocka stands out as the recommended hero to get if only purchasing one figure from the 3.0 wave, due to its unique gold parts, white hero core/head combination, and striking helmet design.

Rocka (previous series) — The new Rocka is taller and more detailed than the previous series version. The helmet is noticeably smaller in proportion, whereas the previous Rocka had a 'comically large' helmet with a 'stormtrooper kind of look.' The new design is superior overall.
