Mata Nui review

It's been a while since I've posted a review here. Oh well, time to review the newest addition of the Bionice line: Mata Nui! : D



It's our favorite deity of Bionicle history, Mata Nui! Now, several people were angry that Mata Nui is yellow instead of gold, but I'm glad about this. Gold wouldn't have looked that good.

The new pieces that Mata Nui comes with. Now, notice the limb piece is very new. Instead of three circle pin holes going between the cross axle, there are two circle pin holes and a cross axle hole in the middle on the side. And I'll go ahead and focus on the mask now, the Kanohi Ignika! : D



Instead of the repaint everyone hoped for, it's a new mold. But this is good, since I don't want a really huge head on Mata Nui.

And what's a review without the pro's and con's?
Pros:
-Cool shield
-New ankle armor
-Ignika
-It's Mata Nui! : D

Cons:
-Not gold (for those who wanted it)

Stars: 10 out of 10


Now, I realized that I haven't done a review in a long time, and that it's kinda rocky, but I'm doing my best.



Mata Nui is ready for battle!

Malum Review

My first Bionicle: Glatorian review. I present to you: Malum! (Sorry about the first blurry picture)

Malum:



Malum is a nice combination of red, orange, and gray. While silver is used in this set, it took a massive back-down because in the Mistika, silver dominated all colors. While I am a fan of silver, it's nice to get back on focusing on the colors of what element the Bionicle is suppose to be.



Back shot of Malum. On his back is located a health counter.



Close-up of the health counter. The reason for this is because Bionicle now has a game that involves two Glatorian battling each other.



The new pieces that Malum comes with. From left to right: Glatorian/Agori head, flame claw, straight Hordika neck, one half of Thornax Launcher, Thornax fruit, Malum's helmet, health counter.

Malum comes with many new pieces, it's just so awesome. There are a few things about Malum you should know though. For one, the Kalmah Hordika feet on his arms slightly hinders his articulation. And he's also the shortest Glatorian in the Winter 2009 sets.

My Final Thoughts:

Just like everything else in the world, pro's and con's accompany this set.

Pro's:

* Awesome colors
* Silver is hardly seen on this set
* Awesome new head
* A lot of new pieces
* Finally, instead of letting your Bionicle sets gather dust, you can play a game with them that you can keep track of!
* Thornax Launcher is light, easy to use, and isn't bulky at all
* Lots of recolored pieces (Granted, the Hordika feet would have been red on Kalmah, but aren't as they were altered for Kalmah)


Con's:

* Very short stature if you don't like short sets
* Claws reach to feet if you consider them his hands
* Health counter slightly looks off-placed on him


This is a great set. If you were thinking of passing him over, than you're wrong. He's a great addition to your collection, and you won't be disappointed.

Stars: 9.5 out of 10




Malum's getting ready for his "Rider Kick"!
