The beetle (is that a stag-horn?) looked like the one from the instructions, but
I see now that it's not the case. I somewhat prefer their fatter body design,
but you leg design is much better (using hinge pieces on the pincer-feet is a
waste of good parts if you have to use slope bricks for the last two).
The scorpion is a wonderfully unusual choice for the Robo-pod, but I think it'd
look stingy-er if you replaced the 2x2 slope with the black jumper plate and one
of the 1x2 slopes. And the shrimp is a good way to get double-duty out of the
scorpion design.
My favorite, though, has to be the dragon. Everyone seems keen on the idea of
making western dragons (probably because the wedge pieces make good wings), but
I hadn't even considered the possibility of making an easter dragon with that
selection of parts. It reminds me a lot of Mushu from Mulan.
