Accessories
This set sure have plenty of accessories, and below are picture as I'm lazy to name each of them.
Minifigs
We got Infernox the red magma monster and a miner. Just like the old monster,Infernox can open the mouth widely and eat the crystal.
The miner, got both side of his torso printed (but was block by the armor) and leg printed too. He also have double expression.
Claw Catcher
The Claw Catcher looks good too. Although it looks bulky, but it is very light. Below are the pictures:
The cockpit are very fitting with only one steering.
Here's the miner's view from the cockpit:
Below are the pictures of some added details, which is the headlights and the engine.
There are a small storage box on both side at the back of vehicle.
Here's the water tank to kill the magma monster (there is a cover, which also use as a reflector for the magma monster to bounce inside the tank) and also the giant wheels which are not a new thing in Power Miners line.
Now to the claw, which can catch the magma monster and toss it to the water tank behind. The claw are made from Vikings sea serpent head. To operate it, we have to pull the green technic bar behind fast. The shot might not be accurate sometimes.
Below are some shot of the claw function after pulling the bar.
Extra pieces
We are given a lot of extra parts for this set.
Completed model
I would say this is a nice vehicle to me as I like bulky stuff. Plus the function is somewhat new to me, which is grab the monster and toss it. The designer must have work on it for sometimes so that it can toss it right.
Playability: 10/10 Grab and toss functions.
Design : 10/10 Detailed engine and headlights.
Price : 6/10 Is quite expensive for this one.
Overall: 8/10 Nice minifigs, great function, great design.
