Synthesized Verdict

"Battle Suit Axl stands out as the most personality-driven of the Nexo Knights Battle Suit wave, earning a BrickScore of 83.3 and a Highly Recommended verdict backed by 4.79 out of 5 owner ratings; its stocky design, exclusive axe weapon, and exclusive Axl minifigure give it a clear identity that reviewers consistently ranked above its siblings in the series."

Battle Suit Axl earns a BrickScore of 83.3 and a Highly Recommended tier, with 110 owner ratings averaging 4.79 out of 5 across Amazon and LEGO.com. Brickset named it their favorite of the five Battle Suits released, praising the distinctly stocky design that reflects Axl's personality and physique, plus an exclusive large axe head piece and an exclusive Axl Battle Suit minifigure. JANG appreciated the waist articulation and overall poseability, though noted that Axl's elevated seating position means he appears less protected than other pilots in the series.

What reviewers are saying

"Overall 70365 Battle Suit Axl is my favourite of the five Battle Suits released so far."

Brickset Reviews

"So, using the standard body pieces that they came up with for these body, these power suits across the entire line, they just didn't have enough room to fit Axel actually inside. So, they kind of elevate him up."

JANG's LEGO Reviews

Ecosystem

Other four Battle Suits in the range — 70365 Battle Suit Axl is the reviewer's favorite of the five Battle Suits released so far, standing out for its stocky design and unique minifigure presentation compared to the other sets which rely more heavily on shared cockpit elements.

70336 Ultimate Axl — The Battle Suit version Axl is noted as more consistent with other Nexo Knights figures from smaller sets, unlike the Ultimate version, so will fit better into a broader collection.

Other Nexo Knights Battles suit sets — This set differs fundamentally because it must accommodate a larger minifigure. JANG notes: 'It must have been an interesting challenge to design this to make it fit in with the whole series of battles suits, you know, to not make it look like a suit that's just so huge in comparison to the normal ones that you would expect him to always win and always be the strongest thing on the battlefield while still, you know, getting this larger figure to to work with it to to look good.'
