Poor thing

Posted by Travis_3210 in Canada on 22 March 2009

This thing is not really a panther, more a really stiff, nails cut kitten.

Pros:
Three robots
The jet packs for the iron drones
The new spiking pieces
Stickers on feet look cool

Cons:
Those little teeny tiny claws
A spider for a mini robot?
It has one little laser cannon for firepower
The head and body look really dumb together without the minirobot on (theres just one little pole for a neck)
The exo code is a sticker
No articulation
Robot is exposed and is very crammed

Purple panther

Posted by azoxystrobin in France on 28 July 2008

I don't find this set all that good,
The legs have no knee articulations, which makes it a bit stiff as far as stealthy panther robot exo skeletons go.
it feels like the back legs are actually on backwards (the non articulated knee joints point backwards, rather than forwards)
The head has no movement
It bears little to no ressemblance to a panther.
What no jaw, no fangs, no tail ?
only 2 claws per paw?
and spikes?
Why a mini spider robot?

Apart from the inconsistency of the 'background' the set seems sturdy so far.
and there are 3 robot minifigs, but they don't really count do they?
The buzzsaw flight packs are a nice idea though, even if they are totally irrelevant to a stealth panther theme.
and on top of that, the exoforce codes are now on stickers rather than being printed :(
that seems like a cheap trick.

So plenty of cons for this one :(

2008 - Best sets of EXO-FORCE

Posted by Fighter95 in United States on 01 March 2008

Just got this set tonight from a friend as an early birthday present, along with the chameleon hunter. This set is really neat. I love the design it looks so awesome! So basically the set has 3 robots, and a mini robot weapon. The spikes fold back to access the mini robot which is my favorite thing about this set. It's awesome how they fold back. This set is also a lot sturdier than I thought it would be, it easily stands on all four legs, the cockpit is constructed well, and everything stays together perfectly. The only thing I don't like about this set is it needs more weapons. Other than that this set is fantastick and I highly recommend it! IT'S AWESOME.

Nice set cheap price

Posted by moloko in United States on 02 January 2008

Just got this set from Target this week. I like the soft rubber/ hard plastic spikes. Comes with three aliens. The set is not to easy to maneuver when playing but looks good when standing still.

For the price it is well worth it. Best of the new exo-force in my opinion.
