Review: Mega Bloks HKT10 Pokemon Rookidee

Let's do another Series 17 Pokeball review.  Once again there's only a listing on the Canadian site.  I'll be honest, I only bought this because it looked like it had some interesting parts.

Box.  MSRP is $8.99 for a $0.41 Price per Piece.

Instructions.

Parts.  Printed Dome, 3/4 Dome, Wings, Double Sided Half Circle Brick

w/Ball Joint Cutout, Tile w/Stud, Plate, Double Slope w/Cutout, Claw

Pieces, Double Sided Bar Studs, Round Plate w/Bar Holder, Apollo Stud,

"Ear" Insert, Double Sided Round Bricks w/Bar Hole, Tail, and Plate.

Build.  It's fairly stable once you adjust the claws to compensate for the tail.

 

Size Comparison.  This one is pretty compact.

The Questions:

Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  (-10)  (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?  No.  (-5)
Score: -5 (B-).  It has some neat bits but, UGH, that Price per Piece.
