Mata Nui Review
[/u]
(Sorry, no pics-I don't have a camera)
The Build:His Skeleton is of that of an Inika, as for the past 4 years always have been, but With some slight changes as usual.
The armour is built into the side of him, with the exception of the body armour.
The build of the body armour is near-same to that of Onua Mistika: just with the metru chestplate 1 hole down.
Not very challenging build, but canisters are not ment to be challenging, right?
7/10
Playability:First, what contributes to it and what doesn't:
While the Upper arm armour looks like it could get in the way of of his body and head, it actually doesn't at all. The huge gap allows it to pass right through is head, but if you want the arms to go straight up, you need to remove the Life counter for the game.
The ankle pads wriggle around a lot, but if they were fixed in position, the feet would be limited.
His upper leg armouractually prevents him from doing weird leg poses, and I don't really know if that's good or bad.
Second, the actual playability:
He can do a lot of poses. One of my favourite is posing his upper arm armour so that Mata Nui can look through one of the holes in them.
The Thornax Launcher... well, do you honsetly need to know?
8/10
Price:A moderately good price I consider for the set, as it contains the Kanohi Ignika in a 'Bara Magnan form' and itis Mata Nui...
Since the original toa were 6 GBP, some of you may feel it's a rip-off, but he does have a lot more pieces than the originals, though.
Overall: 8/10
Overall:Pros:
Shoulder armour placed well
Kanohi ignika :p
Thonax works well
Shield, when split in two and positioned right, resembles UDD Symbol...
Ankle armour not fixed-better feet poseability.
Cons:
That's a shield?
Small Ignika
Ankle armour rattling can get annoying
Life counter-gets in way.
If you like it, get it. He's a great set, and I don't know what else to say.
Rating: 8.4/10
