"The FORMA Koi earns its Recommended BrickScore of 74.9 as a genuinely original kinetic sculpture that stands apart from anything else in the LEGO catalog, but both reviewers flag the manual-cranking mechanism as imperfect and the price as hard to justify, and with only around 2,110 sets ever produced, secondary market prices make it a difficult buy today."
The LEGO FORMA Koi is a polarizing but genuinely inventive set: both reviewers recognize it as a refreshing departure from standard Technic vehicles, using a clever crank-driven mechanism to animate a flexible printed fish skin over a Technic skeleton. Brickset called it "a fantastic set" while The Brothers Brick offered a more measured take, particularly questioning whether the movement was polished enough to justify premium pricing. With a BrickScore of 74.9 (Recommended) and no owner ratings available, the critical consensus is the primary signal. The crowdfunding-only release means the $44.99 retail figure listed is effectively historical; the set now trades at steep aftermarket premiums.
