Rayskull Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Very impressive; never liked that mask though... Very impressive eitherway Edited November 12, 2014 by Rayskull Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Honestly, Kopaka may be my favourite Master. The design is amazing, the bulk is not bad and I absolutely love his mask and weapons. Thanks for the review and let 2015 come in! -ZotS Quote
Logan McOwen Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Kopaka's design is probably my favourite of the toa. His body's silhouette is wonderful! The weapons are fantastic, as is his mask. I probably won't be buying him however, as I have quite enough gold and white parts in my CCBS collection :P Quote
bjj8383 Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 I find it odd and insulting how the Mistika/Phantoka Toa didn't have masks that resembled the originals cuz "focus groups didn't like them all," yet these sets have gone a lot more out of their way to be similar. Sheesh. Quote
coolcab1 Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 You know Kopaka is pretty cool (no pun intended) I might pic him up. Quote
Ceroknight Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 Kopaka is awesome! One thing though, is the shield supposed to rotate when he's holding it? It looks like it does.. Quote

Sheesh. Well, I guess that kids' tastes have changed over the course of 7 years, but also keep in mind that the 2008 Toa were based on the Toa Nuva while these are based on the Mata. It might be that the Mata masks, with their simpler, cleaner designs, appealed to kids more and thus had to be changed less. Quote
Aanchir Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Kopaka is awesome! One thing though, is the shield supposed to rotate when he's holding it? It looks like it does.. It has allows for some movement, but can't spin freely like the Brain Attack shields because the black friction pins on at least one of the sides will collide with the hand/wrist. Quote
NKD Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 This set, or all the new toa sets for that matter, look heavily influenced by the the nuva series. I think this was the best of the new sets though. Great review! Quote
LegendaryArticuno Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) I have to say the new Bionicle is growing on me! I was really hesitant at first, but having finished constructing him and putting him in different poses, this is one amazing Lego set! One of the great things about Kopaka is his design and how it can be interpreted differently. In some situations he looks like he's inspired by Northern Inuit (with the spear and snowshoes/skis), but putting him in more action like poses, Kopaka reminds me of a Spartan or a Roman hoplite (albeit a snowy one). Also, comparing to previous Bionicle sets, the 2015 Toa are huge! If you're familiar with Transformers, Kopaka, Master of Ice is almost as large as a leader class transformer. Pros: - Overall design - Colour scheme - Gear action is not ridiculous - Very poseable - Size Cons (may get a little nitpicky here): - Stickers - his thigh plates are very plain white, but I'm not the biggest fan of the sticker design, personally I didn't apply the stickers - Lazy spear and shield design - I think Lego could've better here - Mask lacks molded details - on the left side of the mask, where the scope is there's a lot of blank space - Boxes instead of canisters - I would've collected them all In closing, the new Bionicle is great and Kopaka still remains my favourite Toa. I'm excited to open up Lewa as well (he has my favourite mask design) and thinking of possibly getting Gali. I'm not a huge fan of the other three Toa, their design and colours don't appeal to me, which is a bit of a shame as I thought the original Tahu and Onua were amazing (never liked Pohatu though).

Blast Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Kopaka's my favorite set so far the armor on him really gives me the classic Bionicle feel, his lower legs are armored from the front to the back and the shoulder pads are great and I like that he has a shell on the back. His Shield is just amazing too it can become skis and they make good swords, ironically for me not so great as a Shield and I do wish he had two gear powered arms so he could wield the Swords Tahu style. Not so crazy on his Staff, I honestly think that's the worst Rahkshi blade and I'd have much preferred another Rakhsi blade being used (White Rahkshi's blade comes to mind). Quote
