TERIDAX941 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 So I don't know if this topic has already been discussed, but this has been on my mind ever since the Bohrok-Kal came out. Was it set error that gave Nuhvok-Kal a reddish gold krana-kal, Tahnok-Kal a bronze one, and Pahrak-Kal a steel grey one? When I bought the sets, I just swapped out the krana-kal just so they matched their respective Bohrok, but it still bugged me that those colors were advertised and distributed with them. So, was that purposeful? Or was it all just a big mistake? Questions, comments, rude remarks? (preferably not the latter) Quote Formerly Iron_Man5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatanui Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) I knew the topic would be about this. I don't know, but personally I've always felt like that was a mistake. To me it would have made more sense to give Nuhvok-Kal steel grey, Pahrak-Kal bronze and Tahnok-Kal gold. -Gata Edited March 23, 2014 by Gatanui Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

TERIDAX941 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Haha good guess Gata. But yeah, I found it odd that it was only those three that supposedly got mixed, cuz blue green and white were perfectly fine (although with them, it's obvious what krana fits them, but yeah... I just can't see how the Lego Group could've overlooked that if it was a mixup. Quote Formerly Iron_Man5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klanadack Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Are there any scenes in the comics or Mnog that show the Bohrok-Kal's krana exposed?

Gatanui Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Are there any scenes in the comics or Mnog that show the Bohrok-Kal's krana exposed?There is a point in the comics where the Krana-Kal of Tahnok-Kal is revealed and it is gold. There are no Bohrok-Kal in any of the online games and those that appear in the animations are just generic black and silver. -Gata Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

TERIDAX941 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Nokama appeared in the same comic and she also was carrying a golden krana-kal. No idea if they got it from the same Bohrok-Kal though... Oh but in the comic where the Kal are defeated (when the krana-kal are shown to be transforming silver) it shows what's inside of Nuhvok-Kal's head, and before his turns silver, they show it to be gold as well (similar to the sets). So, I honestly don't know. Even BioSector01 says that the colors of the krana were supposed to be like that, but color wise, it isn't accurate to what "should" be there.

TERIDAX941 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Mmmm possibly... I thought so too at first, but it seems odd that Pohatu is holding it in his claw, and then the Nokama walks up in the next panel and she has one in her hand. but yeah, I guess it could be the same one, wait I think it has to be, cuz it was the same shape as the one that Pohatu found and no two Krana-Kal are exactly the same (unlike normal Krana) Quote Formerly Iron_Man5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Personally I liked the way the original Krana contrasted with the Bohrok of their element, so the Krana-Kal colors didn't bother me that much.

Obviously some time has gone by between the two panels in which Nokama approached the Toa and took the Krana-Kal for inspection. Where would she be supposed to get the Krana-Kal anyway? -Gata Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

And actually, it's exactly the same place, and I'm sure that not much time had gone by at all. Usually there's a "transition" title, or something to remark on the passing of time, while in that one, it appears that Nokama just happened to come by and hop in on Onua's and Pohatu's conversation with the Krana.

I certainly don't think it was a mistake. However, it would have been nice if the LEGO Group had been more consistent: either give all six Bohrok contrasting Krana-Kal colors or give them all ones that closely match their primary colors.

TERIDAX941 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Thanks Gata. Means a lot, I try to be extremely accurate as far as the comic books go lol. However, it would have been nice if the LEGO Group had been more consistent: either give all six Bohrok contrasting Krana-Kal colors or give them all ones that closely match their primary colors.Exactly! That's the part that bugs me the most lol. Quote Formerly Iron_Man5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Lhikan Hordika Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I've noticed that as well. I'm not one for going by head canon over story canon, but I always saw it as a mix-up between the Nuhvok-Kal and Pahrak-Kal at the very least. Actually, come to think of it, I do have something to back that up - the CD-ROMs that came with the Bohrok-Kal sets. When you go through them and look at the Krana-Kal information for each of them, you'll see that they have their Krana colors reversed, that is to say the steel black Krana went to the Nuhvok-Kal and the bright metallic orange-ish one went to the Pahrak-Kal. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they kinda went all out with the colors as far as those guys went (especially with the Va having even more colors). I guess it's the price you pay when you reuse a villain set by just changing colors. Sooner or later you run out of material to work with.
