K’NEX Cyber-X C5 Neostrike – Crafts

K’NEX Cyber-X C5 Neostrike set proposes only 4 craft models to build – but all these models are functioning guns.

The crafts this set offers are just as elaborated and unique as the main model, and you can build some of them at the same time. The shooting models actually shoot with remarcable strength, but they may be too tough to build for smaller children. They also can become loose after certain amount of use.

K’Nex comes in two sizes: regular and mini K’Nex. This set, however, has only regular ones. The pieces in K’NEX Cyber-X C5 Neostrike set have regular shapes, common for K’Nex, but unique colors, unusual for K’Nex.

While the crafts you make with K’Nex can be quite large, some of the pieces, especially the mini ones, are very small. This makes K’Nex sets unsafe for small babies who might accidentally swallow the pieces. These pieces can also be a bit challenging for younger kids to assemble correctly. That’s why it’s recommended for kids aged 7 and older to use K’Nex sets.

It’s also important to note that most K’Nex sets don’t come with detailed crafting instructions. Some packages may only show completed toys without step-by-step guides. However, K’Nex offers a lot of versatility and possibilities, so this is usually not a major issue.

Chinese Kid K’Nex

Here is an interesting Chinese version of the K’Nex called Genius. The quality is good, the details are exactly the same, even the color matches the shape of the original part. Pairs well with real K’Nex. The parts of the real K’Nex have slightly thicker edges and the parts are a little more elastic, but otherwise they are almost indistinguishable. We found it IRL, in one of the children’s stores and bought to the great joy of the younger ones. Before buying it, we did not yet have screws, large parts for cars and orange hemispheres. The children built a fun helicopter. The set contains 38 parts and a colorful booklet. There saw models with wheels, which means there are other versions of this construction set.
