Along with Swampfire I picked up ChromaStone during a clearance sale. Like Swampfire ChromaStone is made of 15 main pieces with the rest of his 21 parts being small soft plastic purple spikes that can be placed on his body. Also like Swamfire his eyes and chest design contain glow-in-the-dark paint.
As with Swamfire the ChromaStone I got had very tight shoulder and hip connectors which were difficult to move and squeaked. Repeated movement and normal play loosened them up and now they seem okay if not a bit loose.
There are so many things Swamfire and ChromaStone have in common that it is easier to list the things that are different. I suspect all first wave of Ben 10 sets were all very similar. The only things different between Swampfire and ChromaStone are their head and feet molds and colors.
The Lego Ben 10 sets lasted for 1 wave of 6 sets in 2010 and was targeted at younger builders who like Ben 10. They were the Duplo version of Bionicle. I recommend them only for those who like Ben 10 and are not expecting the building complexity of Bionicle.
