Review: Zuru Max 83227-A Fuggler Mr. Buttons

I found out about this line because someone mentioned it on the MFZ Discord.  Then maybe a day or two later I found this one in the Clearance aisle at Walmart.  (According to the packaging they're exclusive.)  All the figures are more than a little weird, so let's see if there's anything decent in the set.


Box.  MSRP was $9.99 for a $0.09 Price per Piece.
I paid $5.00 for a $0.05 Price per Piece.

Instructions.














Parts 1.  Plates, 45 Deg Elbow Round Bricks, Technic Plate, Tiles, Wedge
Studless Slopes, Double Sided Plates, Domes, T Plate, Brackets, Studless
Slopes, Corner Plate, Ball Joint Plates, Bricks, Curved Bricks w/Cutout,
Printed Textured Brick, Bricks w/Studs on Sides, and Bricks w/Stud on Side.





Parts 2.  Round Plates, Plates, Textured Printed Round Tiles, Rounded
Double Sided Plates, Tiles, Wedge Studless Slopes, Cheese
Slopes, Studless Slopes, Brackets, Round Plates w/Petals, Printed
Round Tile, Axles, Ball Joint Axles, and Double Sided Plates.



Build.  Two Frames (2W), and a Station.

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+).  Those Printed Textured pieces look ugly.  It's nice to see a T Plate outside of Mega Construx sets.  Overall it's not bad for such a weird little set.
