I've never actually played or seen footage of the mata nui online game, so i was actually referring to the physical Pakari Mata. Upon closer inspection, i see some differences, but it still more like the Pakari to me...

That's the point! I'd rather have some great heroes to destroy the older villains, then have Lego shove down this simplistic thing that seems useless as a villian. Morbuzakh was menacing!, this guy just tells spiders to do their best impressions of facehuggers from the Aliens franchise! And right now, they are selling him as a main villain. all is not forgiven if they say, "Oh! he was just fighting for Makuta!" (side note: their new lore seems way to simplistic compared to the first one. two masks per person{and they already have one}, no longer named turaga, seemingly no great beings, etc. etc.) He better be one of many in his species, because the facehugger ripoffs are more menacing than this guy! I guess you cant argue with statistics, but he really is a step back from enemies such as Tuma, who was the last of the sets that i would call "disk 1 final boss," He was menacing! He had a whole tribe as his army! He seemed like a true final boss of the glatorian era! He was cool! A wolf-size spider who tells facehuggers, with about the survivability of a minecraft silverfish, what to do? Not really that cool...

I guess that's all up to perspective then... That would actually work better... i guess that would clear up the almost all problems i have with lewa.

I think they just call them the masks of [element type here], and the only ones that retain the powers are Gali, and Lewa, so it's still a little confusing. Also, in the spread that came with the latest Lego magazine, they characterized his powers as breaking/throwing rocks, and strength, so, as sad as it is, i don't think he has speed anymore...

Ok. Awesome! I might try one then!

Ok, so sickening wasn't quite the right word... but to me, it's an updated look, but i still thought it looks almost identical to onua mata's, heck, i'd go as far as saying it looks more like onua mata's then the new onua's, and it doesn't really look great with the design of lewa's body. I can't really explain why, but it strikes me as kind of a derpy look... I actually meant the katanas sticking under his hands... they stick out, and look all around tacky... I hope that helps you understand my opinion. :)

I'm good.

hey, do comments on other posts count as posts?

hey, are they still for sale?

Ok. Awesome! Thanks

Scorpio was $6 more, his model was well constructed, and it was worth more than $20. This guy, however, i feel is overpriced. for 144 pieces, he looks surprisingly simplistic. his function sucks, and the spiky teeth are a sore excuse for a weapon. I hope he goes away quickly, because he's a sore excuse for the main villain... Stupid useless Bohrok ripoffs...

I preferred the designs of the older bionicle as opposed to the HF, and these seem more inspired by HF with some remnants of the toa nuva sets... they also seem like a step back from the legends series in armor design. Granted, so were the stars sets, but they still had a cool look, thus I don't think i'll be buying any of these... Also, I think Lego forgot something integral to Bionicle, menacing evil. The skull spiders look easy to kill and remind me of the brain attack from HF. Even the Skull Spider Lord thing isn't that menacing, and it's hard for me not to laugh when I think of how they thought this would be a main villian. I enjoyed the Bohrok so much for the reason that they looked menacing, they were seeming unkillable, and there were limitless ammounts of them. These villains seem like the added masks from toa mata and nuva... Side note, they should bring back the bohrok. I think I'd buy those...

Ok. I just think Lewa looks stupid. His mask is so close to Onua Mata's that it's sickening, his weapon looks like something a three year old would think up, then discard because it looks dumb. one thing i will give it is that his armor looks sleek, matching his personallity. but the look of the jungle protector, with the exception of the bulge of the chestplate, looks pretty cool. it's sleek, the mask looks beastly, the weapon is awesome, and the feet remind me of bear paws, giving him the animalistic look. But if you like the look, I won't judge. I've given my thoughts on why I personally don't like the design, but that's the reason we were given opinions.

It's sad when the protector looks cooler than the toa...

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!
