While the overall MOC is nice, it just doesn’t seem very set-like to me… all the extra baseplates without anything on them harm the overall look, though the Kini-Nui part looks excellent. Also, a lack of any sort of functionality detracts from the MOC.
I was about to say this. If there’s no function, I’d instantly become bored. The display needs functionality, foliage, and frankly less smooth surfaces and more detail.
Plus the face structure looks more like Squidward’s house.
Although Kini Nui itself looks pretty cool, the rest of the set looks too empty and void of any functions. I would suggest either replacing it with something else, or taking it out completely and drop the price.
If I were to suggest a function, I would say that something to blow the cover off of Kini Nui would be a neat play feature.
In addition to the unnecessary baseplates/bridge section, I feel as though this set would work better if it were a bit smaller. Everything being so big emphasizes the large blank chunks in the build, and fourteen figs in one set seems a bit excessive, especially when the only way they can “interact” with the rest of the set is to just stand on it. It’s also an extremely de-saturated set, the only color in the buildings is the pale green. Maybe add some deeper green foliage to break up large flat gray parts of the set, and figure out how to add some functions to the set.
