LEGO Hero Factory 44016 Jaw Beast vs Stormer Review

Welcome back to my blog! I apologize for being late with the reviews, but here is my first Hero Factory and first 2014 set review! It contains 49 pieces and 1 minifigure, and retails for $10.
Stormer is gonna need more than a spear to take down Jaw Beast!
That's right! Lego Hero Factory has minifigures in their sets now! This is part of the Invasion from Below series, which I think is somewhat inspired by films with Kaiju (giant monsters). And I love those kind of things!  It comes with a Stormer minifigure, armed with a spear and equipped with a datapad to call for reinforcements. He has a blank blue minifigure head under his helmet, which means his parts are compatible with regular Legos.

The beast himself!
Jaw Beast is the smallest of the three beasts available in the first wave, but that doesn't make him any less awesome! He has new translucent bone pieces, which I am sure many people who like rare parts or making customs will be excited about. Jaw Beast has a somewhat normal build, in comparison to other sets from Hero Factory. 

Jaw Beast has become Stormer's loyal steed...
...Or not!
Run, Stormer, run!
However, he has a tail and the translucent light blue bones, as well as purple and azure pieces, making this set a combination of colors not seen before, and it all works! He has a gorilla-type look, due to his long arms and short legs, and has purple spikes all over his body. He has a lot of playability, and many scenarios can be imagined from just this one set! And for only $10! Awesomeness! Pure Awesomeness!

Jaw Beast wonders if he needs chapstick or not.

For something so large, Jaw Beast sure is stealthy!

Even giant monsters need to go to the dentist.
Now for the ratings:

Playability: 9/10 As I said, you can think of so many things to do with it!
Value for Money: 9/10 It has a monster vs hero thing going on, so what kid wouldn't like that? Plus, it's only $10!
Creativity: 8/10 Giant monsters? That is new for Lego to make sets of!
Features: 9/10 Tons of poseability and an opening jaw! 
Awesomeness: 10/10 Love it!

Thanks for reading! I would appreciate feedback, but no negative comments, only constructive criticism and your opinion! Also, I would like to know which set I should review next! Thanks so much for reading!
