Cardboard

For the front art of the cardboard, we got two black snake printed on the green ninja themed art. You can see the spinner, crown, weapons, minifig and one of the card that you received from this set. The back of the card advertise some other spinners set and the customization of your spinner. There are parts that made in China.

Content

Like NRG Jay, the set comes with three sheets of paper which one of them comes in multi-language which you can see on the left side of the instruction sheet, spinner, crown, cards and a bag of bricks. No instructions given on how to assemble your spinners and weapon as you can learn them from the packaging.

Accessories

The golden weapon here is something like scythe,which are made up from a few different parts. A spear and a wooden stick are given as well.

Minifig

I was expecting the same nice shiny prints from NRG Cole, but I was wrong. Perhaps the color does not match with the dark tone (black) or if this minifigs are printed in China that makes it not so shiny. The torso are printed on both side and the legs are printed too. Should have listen to my friend advice. Disappointed.

Spinner and Crown

This is a translucent black spinner with prints printed on it. The crown are printed too, but I felt that the print is a bit off. Also the crown have stud on top to apply bricks for protection.

Some additional parts to upgrade the spinner. You get translucent black and yellow parts to match NRG Cole.

Cards

Here's the card you will be getting from this spinner set. Provoke Anger are the shiny cards in this set.

Completed model

So far from what I heard from my friend which already owned three NRG, NRG Jay is the best for now, no idea how will Zane end up yet, but recommended to get NRG Jay if you just want to buy it for fun. Just do not like the minifig prints here.

Playability: 6/10 If you have friend to play with you, then it should have some playability.

Parts: 5/10 Shiny prints on the minifig is an epic fail.
