Yea, the problem with almost all the Uniter Toa is that they need their Beast buddy to look good. The Fire Wings alone make them one of my favorite Bionicle kits.
I really like the two brick built tahus, the googly eyed one is just pleasing for me to look at and I think it’s a good homage to tahu in the 90th anniversary set, and the bickhu was brick built because all the bionicle original molds were destroyed so they used what they could which I really appreciate
Honestly that might as well be my favorite Tahu design, he looks powerful, his four blades make him look imposing and his mask design looks more like a Hau than the Hau Nuva
I don't care that everyone hates Mistika Tahu almost just because he doesn't look exactly like the original Tahu. Mistika Tahu is my favourite. Sure I'm a bit biased since it was my first Bionicle but I mean... he just looks fukin cool! But everyone hates it just because too much grey and the mask is shaped different. I have no good idea why Mistika Tahu would be worse than the Starz Tahu... But I can say that I would have preferred it if Mistika and Phantoka were different characters entirely instead of being the Nuva again, because yes they do look very different for the most part.. but they still look awesome, minus Pohato who looks weird.
My first bonkle was actually Mistika Tahu, and as much as I see the flaws, that is the model that sparked Lego and Bionicle in me. I’m glad now that I can build a much bulkier tahu looking self moc with the stars tahu.
This is a totally me thing but I really like 2016 Tahu. If we're looking for what makes Tahu, Tahu then ya he does fall flat but in a vaccum I think he's cool as hell. Pun sorta intended. It does have some problems but they're easy fixes imo
considering i got tahu mistika as a apology from my parents punching me in the face. i will never live down the fact that they promised me toa inika in the store and swapped it with tahu in the last second. this is the reason i use the mistika mask in my self moc
Personally I would put uniter at 7 mainly because the injected silver just looks out of place, and even more so if you put the Gold mask on them (Seriously though why did they do Golden Masks twice as a plot beat and not release mask packs liek they did in G1?)
I think that the "figure" ranking is off. Mata and Nuva don't have elbows or knees and mistika and brickhu don't have gears. Therefore, master and combiner should be at the top for providing both
I love it, since blue flames are higher temperature than orange and red ones, so it gives out a look that his eyes and inner body are hotter than the outer body + armor.
