What reviewers are saying

"I like this set for two reasons one is the color scheme I feel like it's a brave color scheme they went away from the traditional just regular plain primary bright colors you know they went with different secondary color…"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

"Up to this point, Jaw Beast has been one of the most underrated sets, the main attraction to purchasing him has remained to be the trans light blue bones."

Ecosystem

larger HeroFactory sets — Despite being one of the smaller beast sets, it achieves more articulation than normally expected from larger HeroFactory sets due to the combination of articulated pieces used

traditional HeroFactory torso design — The torso is built backwards with a large piece on back and smaller piece on front, reversing the traditional HeroFactory design pattern

Splitter Beast — Jaw Beast is the better set in terms of color scheme. Unlike Splitter Beast's smaller beast which needs to be on all fours, Jaw Beast looks good both bipedal and on all fours.
