Set Information

The set's foil pack

The set consists of 50 pieces.

By combining pieces from Pyrox with pieces from 44000 Furno XL, one can build a non-canon combination model.

Features

The set features a Rotating Flame Staff, which is held by Pyrox's right hand and can rotate by turning its red knob. It also has a hand with four translucent red claws, which Pyrox has for a left hand, that can move forwards and backwards.

Collectibles

The set includes a red face piece, a translucent yellow Brain, and a Hero Core. It also has a printed armor piece on its left thigh. The Brain can be removed from Pyrox's head to represent Pyrox being freed from it. Printed underneath the Core is a code called a Hero Code, which could be entered in an online game called Brain Attack in HeroFactory.com in 2013, to earn 600 Hero Points. The Hero Core is not used in Pyrox's construction, but can possibly be placed on any of his armor pieces for storage.
