BZPower Unboxes More Bionicle Sets


Recommended Posts

Wow, that is a lot of new Bionicle sets! I'm actually really interested in seeing the Lord of Skull Spiders review. I would definitely like to know more about it soon. That's not to say that I'm not interested in the others though. :P

 

Bring on the reviews!

The Protectors look fantastic. From what I've seen so far, I think they are actually my favorite small-sized sets in the entire run of BIONICLE.

I'd mostly agree, though I think it's risky to call them "small-sized sets". By height it's true that they might qualify — after all, they're shorter than many of the 2008 Matoran and only slightly taller on average than the 2004 Matoran. But by piece count, they have more pieces than most BIONICLE canister sets! Then again, the 2007 Matoran and Hydruka had more pieces than an average Toa Mata and we still called them "small sets".

 

If you exclude their weapons, ammo (each set has twelve ammo pieces plus one extra), and skull spiders, their piece counts are closer to "small set" or Matoran piece counts, but still pretty significant. Without those things, Protector of Jungle has 31 pieces — not much different from how many pieces Dekar or Defilak would have if you subtracted their blasters, but more than they'd have if you subtracted their blades as well. His weapon has 22 pieces (not counting ammo).

 

The Protectors are definitely the first villager or supporter sets to have 13 points of articulation, though the Protector of Fire and the Protector of Ice fall short of that due to their lack of forearms.

 

Anyway, neat to learn that you were able to get all the remaining sets! I look forward to your reviews. I received just five sets to review for The New Elementary (in addition to the one I received in the previous batch), though I'm definitely happy with the sets I got. Frankly, if I got every set, I'm sure a lot of TNE readers would be sick and tired of BIONICLE by the time I was done!
