Skull Warrior came in the mail today.

 

Gear function doesn't work that well with the bow (well DUH).

 

The new armour add-on piece honestly doesn't look that good in the way it attaches. It looks kind of awkward compared to the piston piece and the round/square HF add-on pieces, it doesn't really try to cover up the area where it attaches. Still, it's by far the largest shell add-on piece we have yet and looks good as long as you don't look at it from the side.

 

Believe it or not, but shells can fit, albeit very loosely, on the bone piece, as long as it's on the side where you can see the 'slit' in the bones, the hole. Not the side where you can't see the 'slit', as it's thinner.

 

Transparent Blue and Transparent Orange go together better than you'd think, contrasting very well with each other.

 

The new torso shell's upper part is a bit disappointing, as it looks awkward without the 'breastplate' add-on thanks to the awkwardly tiny 'ribs' at the very top that are obscured by the aforementioned 'breastplate' add-on.

 

The new blade piece is thinner than you'd might expect, both from the side and from the front.

 

Skull Warrior does have some problems standing, thanks to the weight the bow/gearbox add, which is sort of negated by the claws on the feet, but not quite.

 

Unlike the spear, the bow doesn't really have a place where it can be mounted on the back. Unless the bow's meant to go where the bow is, but I have no idea how the bow'd connect without looking awkward.

Huh, I thought the bow could fit pretty well on the back, judging from this image, but looking at it again in more detail, they're clearly cheating with that connection. Not to mention I feel like some pieces might even be missing from that picture. :-/

EDIT: Then again, the starter of this topic clearly managed it somehow.

I don't own the set, but it looks like you can rotate the "handle" piece on the bow to connect it to the pin on Warrior's back. Look at this and this to see what I mean: In the first photo, you can see the blue pin; the the second photo, you can see the bow attached to the pin.

 

You'd have to remove and replace to handle to stow it, but that's not a big deal.

Where is that image from? It's not in the instructions for the set itself, which is why in my review I've mostly finished I haven't even attempted mounting it on the back.

The first image, you mean? It's the main image for the set on the online LEGO shop. It is also the image that appears on the back of the set's box, in the part that shows off the action feature.

 

Actually, connecting the bow to the back now seems pretty simple to me looking at the instructions. You just need to remove the three pieces that connect the bow to Skull Warrior's right hand (a #1 angle connector and two pins) and then it snaps to the back the same way the spear does.
