Description

A villain to face the heroes

Hero Factory pits heroes against villains, and Witch Doctor belongs firmly in the second camp. This is a large, poseable figure rather than a vehicle or a backdrop. There are no minifigures in the box, because the whole character is assembled from the 336 pieces themselves. Anyone who knows Bionicle will find the construction familiar, with ball joints, armour plates and weapons deciding how it looks, and the result is an action figure that can be moved and posed at will.

Little repetition, lots of detail

With 53 different part types, the mix is clearly more varied than in many sets of a similar size. Plenty of specialist pieces sit on the arms, legs and armour, so it is worth consulting the parts list before anything goes missing. Joints and small connectors are especially hard to replace. The build asks for some attention, but rewards you with a figure that holds many different poses and copes well with rougher play.

Black, red and grey

Black forms the base colour, joined by red pieces, light bluish grey and a little white. That gives the villain a dark yet clearly structured look. The red elements pick out the chest and weapons, while the grey parts emphasise the mechanics. For collectors of the line the palette is typical, and the figure sits comfortably on a shelf next to others from the same series, so a small gallery of heroes and enemies builds up quickly.

Built to be rebuilt

Since joints and armour pieces are so universal, the contents suit custom creatures and robots well. The parts list shows exactly which pieces are included, and the “What can I build?” tool tells you which other models your stock allows. That is particularly handy if you own several sets from the series and want to blend them into entirely new characters of your own, rather than leaving every figure in its original form.
