Minifigures & Standout Parts

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Head sculpt
Very awesome sculpt; can fit on Metru head but looks ridiculous
Ben 10 limbs
New to Bionicle, thick joints
New torso
Appears on almost everyone except Von Nebula
Yellow piece
New, got great MOCing possibilities in mata yellow
Shortened pin piece
Like a shortened version of piston pieces from titan sets
Toxic barrels
Fantastic, hollow so you can put extra armor inside, have axle holes and two viking-horn sized holes on the bottom
