Review: 41553 Mixels Vaka-Waka

Let's start out the Munchos Tribe of the Series 6 Mixels.


Bag.  MSRP is $4.99 for a $0.07 Price per Piece.



Instructions.

Parts.  Plenty of Slopes and Plates, a few Ball Joints, Brackets, and Bricks, some Grille Tiles, Clip Plates, and Bar Plates, A Large Jumper, a couple of Hinge Bricks, Headlight Bricks, and 1x2 Bricks w/Studs on side.





Build.  This is actually the second build I came up
with for this review.  It's more technically 
interesting, but doesn't look as good.



The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Below.  (+5)  
(The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)
If you can't build a frame right away, or choose not to, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +20 (A+).  Not a bad set, but I think more of a parts kit.
