There is a mistake look at the news letter again and on the website, if you want, it says, pohatu toa of earth and onua toa of stone.
A rookie mistake! -------------------- ----------------------------------------

Heh... *mutters something about cheesy happy meal toys* But, uh, why is Pohatu called the Toa of Earth and Onua called the Toa of Stone?

My opinion on these is now justified.
They are abismal. Absolutley awful. Burger King have no right to make such dreadful representations of Bionicle. They could at least get the titles of the characters right, to give it some dignity. They have mixed up Earth and Stone. Geez! Once again. I think these are absolutely ghastly. I would swear, but that's not allowed here is it.

They do look a bit strange, kopaka has a shield stuck to his chest, gali is trapped in a box (david blain), pohatu is sitting on a rock shooting disks (why he doesn't have a disk launcher) onua is a strange type of toy, lewa, is a unique but he is the only character without a body, but tahu, he is the best out of the toys, i have seen these magnetic toys before and its the best out of all of them!

They could at least be Bionicle sets, not stupid little plastic blobs that entertain you for about half a minute. Why make a toy of a toy when the toy isn't as cool as the toy?

Muy caseoso. Very cheesy. I'm glad they're not in the US, but I feel sorry for the kids in the UK who end up with these. They're pretty awful.

Robobuzz is right making a toy of a toy is just...well.........lame! Why could Mcdonals have done the matoran or even burger king, i have never been a big fan of the cheap lumps of plastic that come in a happy meal to promote some new movie anyway. A novelty item is what i call it!

So just look at it that way

And Binky agrees with me.
You can be rest assured that the US got lucky with the McToran. You can be rest assured that I will not, repeat NOT be getting one of these. BK you can do better than this, otherwise McDs will take over you. Aboslutely dismal  QB -------------------- --- Your Resident Drummer: Is The Walrus, Koo Koo Ka Choo --- |

Tahu looks pretty awesome, but everyone else looks just lame. Might entertain you for 5 secconds, and if you want to get the full effect from the toy, throw it out your window and watch Kopaka smash into a million peices...
 Too bad this isn't Canadian...

SWEEEET ! That's pretty dumb on the part of Burgar King to mix up Onua and Pohatu. But those 2 are my favorite. Pohatu Nuva's launcher is pretty cool. And if Onua Nuva shoots forawrd and slides across the surface that would be cool. But I wouldn't go buying the kids meals JUST for the toy. And I don't really like BK food. So I don't know if i'll get them.

what i don't get is this......why bring out a toy to promote a DVD/VHS release that has already been out for a couple of months already? why not bring it out when the movie came out?

*sigh* For a while I wasn't happy that they were not coming to the US, but now I don't care. Sure, they're cheap little Happy Meal toys. I expected a little more. At least perhaps being able to use them with other bionicle sets would have made them worth money. If I lived in the UK, I would grab the few with giant masks, just to hang on my wall.

I suppose those cards top the "Worst Bionicle Promotion Ever" listings.
But I (don't know about you) could actually have more fun with the cards, you can throw them Blaine-Style!  These would only possibly give a kid a max of 5 minutes of enjoyment, before they are left on the tray, or lost either on the way back to the car, or under the car seat.

Hey, you can't compare two bad things. Its just not cool. Let's face it, nobody's produced since the Mctoran. I still don't like em, they just don't seem like bionicle. At least with the cards, you could use them as coasters. -------------------- |

Thet have put wrong element on Onua and Pohatu! And that is cool but not true. Pohatu donīt have the power of disk, The toy shoot disks. It shuld be better if they was lego pices. -------------------- |
