"With a BrickScore of 74.2, Payakan the Tulkun & Crabsuit is a crowd-pleasing Avatar set that earns strong marks for its build experience and design aesthetics — the giant, articulated Tulkun and the slick Crabsuit mech make for a genuinely impressive shelf piece, though the steep retail price is worth waiting to discount."
Reviewers — both owner/buyer and dedicated LEGO critics — are enthusiastic about the Payakan the Tulkun & Crabsuit set, praising its dual-build structure and impressive finished display. The Tulkun's scale (~12" long), articulated jaw, tail, and fins are consistently highlighted as showstoppers, while the Crabsuit mech earns its own praise as a surprisingly engaging compact build. The expert reviewer digs deeper, calling out the extensive SNOT techniques on both models and the inclusion of the exclusive Lo'ak minifigure as standout merits. The main criticisms are a high retail price, a so-so price-per-piece ratio, limited articulation on the Tulkun's fins and tail (hinges rather than ball joints), and minifigure shortcomings (Lo'ak lacks a hair-strand head print, and Tsireya is not set-exclusive).
Where they split: No major disagreements — the consensus is broadly positive across owner and expert reviewers. The one area of mild divergence is minifigure quality: casual buyers describe the figures as "unlike any other" and "so cool," while the expert reviewer critiques specific print omissions (Lo'ak's missing hair strand) and Tsireya's lack of exclusivity. Similarly, articulation satisfaction splits slightly — kids playing with the set are happy with the movement, while more technically-minded reviewers wish for ball joints over hinges.

"This is by far the best set, especially after watching Avatar: The Way of Water. The set offers everything you could dream of as a fan of the film, as well as special creatures and science fiction."
