My review of Vakama's set from the Toa Metru line of BIONICLE 2004. Instagram: / callanlof DeviantArt: callanlof.deviantart.com Facebook: / callan-lord-of-fire-29... Streamlabs: www.streamlabs.com/CallanLoF
As much I like that I got Matau with his swords that become wings, I do wish that I found Vakama as well. He’s one of my favorite designs and that disk launcher is literal fire.
I had this as a kid. It was in pieces in my boxes, now it's with the kids down the street from my childhood home. Hope they're having as much fun as I did with those piles of bricks!
Something I still don't understand is why the Vakama set didn't have the same eye color as his turaga form. I know its not an accuracy/consistency decision, because Vakama retained his red eyes in the movie and was given a blue visor in the comics.
Upwards disk launcher = Red Halo and jetpack fire spewing downwards Upside down launcher = Disk always falling off cause the Vakam launcher has a weak disk clutch power.
Vakama’s mask has always been my absolute favorite, but it’s a real shame we never got more color variants of it, and my Ice Toa Moc/oc can still never be complete, but hey, doesn’t mean we can’t still use it for them right?.😅
I always wanted one of these as a kid! Read all the books about him and comics. Even had the metru movie. But they had already stopped manufacturing them.
Also Vakama has the best eyestalk for light piping out of the whole wave. Nokama and Nuju would be up there, but their masks obstruct their eyes too much.
Shame that you didn't see the disc launcher much. I am now 3D modeling his weapon for the Movie Vakama avatar I made and it's a pain figuring out how it's modeled.
