Went hardcore nostalgia last week and bought the Nui-Jaga and Tarakava. Arrived over the weekend and have been having a blast building them.

And a bunch of masks from the one guy too. Slowly but surely..

Tali, that mask collection is seriously awesome. And Comic, your pic once again made me feel an urge to buy the new Kopaka and Tahu.

It's a great line. Tahu in particular is just such a nice, balanced set. He's a good size, has great weapons and just has a very nice silhouette. I think he and Gali are the best of the line.

With the new price range of those bionicle a I'll past, I can buy 2 HG Gunpla kits with the price of One Tahu as much as I want him.

Here's a comparison I took showing three generations of constraction toys that I have:

It occurs to me that the new Gali is more or less a fusion of all three of her preceding designs.

Yes, I believe the designers did say that they took inspiration from her past designs to make the mask in particular. Hence you can see a hint of the goggles, and other little fun details.

UGH. Well, my nostalgia's been tempered a bit. I just had three of those black box joint pieces that served as hands, shoulders, hips, etc. on the old figures break off at the top connection. I'm having to cannibalize a few figures just to keep the others in working condition- fortunately I have a Kopaka that's completely bare of equipment and an Onua that's missing a claw that I can break down, but... Kopaka was my second favorite. In fact for a while he was my FAVORITE, period.

Tahu is best Toa yo Fire > Ice

Not sure why, but flipping that tampographed chestplate upsidedown makes Neo-Gali look more feminine.
