In Clarity
Now we've got more decent pictures of the '09 sets, again I'll critique. I'll randomly pick out stuff I want to comment on, rather than doing as I did earlier. Unsurprisingly, spoilers abound.

Firstly, my revised opinions on the small sets. Some of the recoloured parts are of sheer WIN, but others (and the recycled parts) are kind of off-putting. What I quite like the look of, though, are the faces/masks/helmets; one of Atakus's in green would be perfect for a Nidhiki revamp, and most of the others (particularly Raanu's) look awesome. Berix's is just plain weird, though. By the way, Zesk looks win, and is excellently posed.
As for the Glatorian themselves, my opinions are mixed. For one, I'm glad that the Zamor never came to be, and it looks like these new launchers can be built, to some extent. That's something. Now, I'll do this one-by-one.
- Skrall has lost any appeal he ever had to me; he looks just plain weird. While on the subject, I swear I've heard the name "Skrall" somewhere before...
- Malum's claws are not as awesome as they originally appeared, and it's a pity they didn't fix the Kalmah-foot-shoulder issue; it was still done failingly.
- Gresh, well... his prototypical version was SO much better. We just lost a whole heap of recolours, and now he simply fails.
- Tarix looks... okay, to say the least. His blades are awesome.
- Strakk is pretty good, but his shoulder armour stuff is attached funnily, like Malum's, except not as dodgy. It's not so bad, but still odd.
- Vorox is absolutely full of WIN. Do I see a bit of brown on him?
As for the titans, they still both look like clumsily designed EPIC FAIL.
