LEGO Hero Factory 6223 Bulk

I ordered Bulk for my 4 year old nephew for Christmas. He loves LEGO, action figures, and super heroes, but has never seen anything from LEGO Hero Factory. I knew he would love this, so I got it for him. I pre-assembled it for him because I think it is a little complicated for a 4 year old to put together. I also ordered him another Hero figure which we assembled together, and he wasn't too far off from completing one of these on his own. Anyway, he absolutely loved Bulk. Some things he and I love about this figure:-Awesome design. Bulk is about 8 inches tall and lives up to his name. He has a nice build quality and could pass for something from the Iron man movies, which my nephew loves-The figure is durable. My nephew loves that the helmet could be removed. He is very rough with his toys and the only thing that came off during play was the shoulder guards, which were easily snapped back on.-The canon fires VERY far and involves no moving parts. You merely squeeze the two ends together and the pressure causes the ball to fly outI ended up buying myself one to put on my work desk. I love robots and LEGO, and this is the perfect combination of both. Well worth the money.

This new Bulk is definitely my favorite version of the character. He's tall and stocky, living up to his name. His missiles are a great gimmick, and his original helmet is back. His size, weapons and heavy neck armor really makes him stand out among the other figures of this wave. The ONE thing that I don't like about him is the color scheme, though. His helmet, missile shield, hands, and neck armor are all silver, but the rest of him is that dark gunmetal gray color, with a few orange pieces. I really wish LEGO would have made him with silver pieces instead of the dark gray, but that's just a cosmetic issue, and one that can be fixed by changing out armor pieces.

My 6 year old loves to build and has since he was 3 years old. I love these Lego Hero Factory because he is able to follow the simple instructions in order to put it together. I've never had a problem with missing or poorly made pieces. They are high quality, affordable and some can be interchanged. I like that it is something he is able to do on his own and can be challenged at the same time.

Still think these are overpriced, but my son enjoys combining these to make his own new heroes. Might consider buying used ones on ebay.

My grandson loves these Hero Factory building characters. He can put them together himself with limited assistance. It's not too hard for him, but is enough of a challenge that he stays engaged. He loves putting them together and he'll go off on an adventure with his Hero Factory character after he's put him together. This is a treat and activity for a sleepover at grandma's.

Fun toy- simpler than modern Bionicles. My 4 year old brother can pull apart and put these guys back together - no instructions needed.I almost with they made more of the Hero Factory toys again.The "Breakout" series has a lot of character in the designs. Bulk it definitely one of the coolest ones from this series.

I looked all over for the Bulk that came out in summer 2012. Found it here, fortunately, since my grandson wanted the "breakout" wave Bulk.I felt "saved" because in the stores there were just stacks of these Legos and I spent so much time looking without finding it!My grandson was thrilled to have it for Christmas -- if he only knew how much time I spent looking before simply ordering from Amazon. I put the name and number (6223) in search and there it was!

This encouraged my children to build with their hands. I love that they are playing without being glued to their Ipod. I lets them learn with hand on experience and use their minds an have conversations with others.
