Box

The box art at the front have some printing error especially the flick-fire torpedo. Other than that, the both side of propeller are placed in other way round if we follow the step from the the instruction book while assembling. The top of the box is shows us the actual scale of the Atlantis key while the back shows us some function and the variety of Atlantis key at the bottom left of the box.

Content

We have three pack of bricks, two loose red wheels, sticker sheet and instruction book.

Accessories

Here we get again, a trident, a yellow Atlantis key with Turtle logo, and a pair of flipper. The Atlantis key is pack separately, that's what we call consistent. =P

Minifigs

We get a Shark Warrior minifig and a diver minifig, well the common face of this diver can be get through Castle, City and even Mars Mission playset. Imagine how long he have been alive.

The diver have two expression and a nice headgear, too bad the visor is not movable.

Typhoon Turbo Sub

The typhoon turbo sub have two big propeller in front which I believe it can just cut the shark warrior into tiny pieces in no time. Below are pictures of it from different angle:

I like the headlights that the designer have made for this sub on both side.

While here's the slot for the flick-fire torpedo. It turns when the propeller turns.

Next, the cockpit, is spacious and the meter details is added through sticker.

The picture on the very right shows us that the spacious cockpit just fit the diver minifig, maybe because of the big headgear.

Here's the hind propeller, a very small one, I think it is used for navigation under the sea. The hind propeller is adjustable though.

And now the very functions which people eager to know, the push and turn functions.

There are clippers on both end to prevent the pieces with tooth (created with roof pieces) from sliding freely hence turning the propeller anytime when you swoosh it. Is a simple creation though. If you pushed it too hard, the two big propeller will just flew out, maybe I didn't put them in place properly.

On the left is the big firing stuff while the right are the claw for grabbing the key (I didn't try to attach the key though). Is a total opposite from what we seen in box art.

And if you can see the joint of the claw, it really have limited movement. Below here is the shot of the giant front propeller:

Extra pieces

I would say there is a lot of pieces left after you assemble this sub as there are many 1x1 pieces used.

Completed model

I would say is a good set because I'm interested with the push and turn function which you might want to add into your own MOC for more playability.

Playability: 9/10 There's quite a lot of movable parts plus flick-fire function.
Design: 6/10 This sub have strange look.
Price: 6/10 Is quite expensive over here.
Overall: 7/10 If you are looking for playability, this is one of the set.
