LOVED (8)

01Captures gorilla anatomy well with scary face, small back legs, huge arms, and bulging pectorals
02Excellent new parts selection, particularly the micro-joints and curved slopes
03Good playability especially when combined with other Beast sets
04Impressive shelf presence and detail
05Stickers largely unnecessary - set looks fine without them
06Excellent value at £8
07Includes minifigure with accessories
08Inclusion of both standard constraction ball and socket elements and new mini ball joint elements

CRITICIZED (8)

01Ball joint receptacle at hips lacks sufficient flexibility for certain poses (requires Blu-Tac to balance in some positions)
02Difficulty mounting Gorzan's shield while he is seated on the beast's back
03Minifigure integration feels somewhat disconnected from the beast aesthetically
04Tiny legs do not move correctly; they move outward instead of forward and backwards
05Poor leg posability severely affects poseability and playability
06Lower half of torso comes loose, causing black wedge piece to bend
07Set sacrifices posability for sturdiness without achieving either
08Gorilla cannot balance well when posed with raised arms due to weight offset

What reviewers are saying

"I think it captures the essence of a gorilla well: scary face, small back legs, huge arms and bulging pectorals"

Brickset Reviews

"I highly recommend people pick up at least one of these sets based on which ever one looks most appealing to you."

Ecosystem

Lion Legend Beast (70123) — The Gorilla is a good companion to the Lion set due to its shifted brown color scheme (more dark brown) that complements the Lion's brown parts. Reviewer chose this over the Wolf based on color coordination.

Wolf Legend Beast — Reviewer chose the Gorilla over the Wolf due to brown parts better supplementing the Lion set.
