Synthesized Verdict

"Infernox Captures the Queen scores a BrickScore of 78 as a well-engineered villain set with a genuinely inventive trap mechanism, exclusive minifigures, and strong articulation that delivers clear value at its $24.99 original price point for Nexo Knights collectors."

Brickset and JANG's LEGO Reviews both found Infernox Captures the Queen to be a satisfying mid-range Nexo Knights set, with the imposing Infernox villain figure and the exclusive Queen Halbert minifigure earning the most consistent praise. The uniquely designed trap mechanism, which opens the upper jaw and sideways mandibles to imprison the queen inside Infernox's mouth, is called out as a genuine design highlight that distinguishes the set from standard ball-joint mech builds. Owner data is thin (just two LEGO.com ratings averaging 4.2), but LEGO.com signals include 100% would-recommend, aligning with the positive critic read.

LOVED (7)

01Infernox's unique jaw mechanism with both an upper-chomping motion and sideways-opening mandibles that trap the queen minifigure inside
02Excellent articulation at shoulders, elbows, fingers, hips, knees, and ankles for dynamic posing
03Queen Halbert exclusive to this set with an impressive double-sided head, regal attire, and angry alternate expression
04Aaron Fox minifigure with well-executed color scheme and new visor element
05Hover Horse praised as brilliantly designed, capturing horse form while maintaining a futuristic look
06Disc launcher integrated into the stone mace adds play value without disrupting the visual design
07Strong connectivity with other Nexo Knights sets, including the ability to hitch to Jestro's Evil Mobile

CRITICIZED (6)

01Queen Halbert presented as a passive damsel in distress despite being depicted as a capable fighter in the TV series
02Hover Horse's bright lime green clashes with Aaron's blue and orange color scheme
03Infernox's back view is least visually appealing, with exposed Technic beam and red studs
04Tail feels ungainly for the character type
05Aaron's visor and chin strap have a small visible gap
06Lower jaw interior lacks studs, making it difficult to stand figures other than the queen

What reviewers are saying

"70325 Infernox Captures the Queen is a perfect example of this as Infernox himself is nicely detailed and has plenty of articulation Furthermore, this set includes a Hover Horse which is one of my favourite vehicles belo…"

Brickset Reviews

"Infernox is pretty large and has a rather different build at least to the the face and the front of this compared to other ball joint based Mech like things"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

Ecosystem

8962 Crystal King — Infernox's sharp angles and unusual shape mark it out from similar large monsters like Crystal King.

70327 The King's Mech — Queen Halbert from this set looks great beside King Halbert from The King's Mech; these two sets are frequently mentioned together as complementary purchases.

70316 Jestro's Evil Mobile — Infernox can be hitched to Jestro's Evil Mobile if tail is removed, though chains are not long enough to attach to arms or back.

Jestro's Evil Mobile — Infernox can hook up directly to Jestro's Evil Mobile with its red connection point, allowing the larger beast to pull the villain's chariot.
