dotcom Posted February 3, 2015 I like the 08 Toa more than the Nuva, because the Nuva suck. With that I agree. The Kal and the Bohrok are really just the same, which is to say, more or less perfect. So which ever way doesn't matter. Not that last one, though. I don't mind the Hordika at all really, but the Toa Metru were my first Toa, and I love all of them too much to even entertain such blasphemies. 1 Quote Link to comment

xccj Posted February 3, 2015 bohrok kal > bohrok: Fine, different preferences on color, I guess. Still epic design in the first place, just kinda repetitive. toa phantoka/mistika > toa nuva: Well duh, the Nuva were ugly. hordika > metru: WHA GET OUT GET OUT NOW! 1 Quote Link to comment

~Shockwave~ Posted February 3, 2015 What's wrong with the Nuva? Personally, I like that they look less skeletal then the mata. Though I still like the mata for being first and there's just something about their weird thinness that works. Quote Link to comment

They're like the Mata, just worse in just about every area. Really the only good thing they had going for them were the weapons that could double as something else or other. 1 Quote Link to comment
Vorahk1Panrahk2 Posted February 3, 2015 I honestly never understood the criticism of the Toa Nuva masks. They're different on account of their larger size and the slight 'melted' aesthetic, but I'm not sure how that makes them bad. As for the Nuva figures, I like the silver armor and don't think it clashes with any of their preexisting color schemes. Silver pretty much goes with anything. Quote Link to comment
Aanchir Posted February 3, 2015 I think all these sets had their merits and flaws. The Toa Nuva were much more recognizable as "upgraded" versions of the previous versions of those characters than the Phantoka/Mistika were, but they had weirdly organic masks that could be a turn-off for some people, and their shoulder width became more uniform. The Phantoka/Mistika, on the other hand, became MORE diverse in some ways than the previous versions had been, and their masks became less organic, but they also became less recognizable as the characters in question due to the radical design changes. The Toa Metru had more diverse proportions than the Toa Hordika, and their color schemes were more vibrant due to having more of their primary colors. However, their color schemes were also simpler, with no metallic accents besides their weapons. I did not really like the "mutated", asymmetrical body proportions or wide, flat torsos of the Toa Hordika or the lack of elbow articulation in their left arms, but I liked their foot design. I liked the Toa Metru gear functions and proportions better than those of the Toa Hordika, but they weren't flawless. Bohrok-Kal and Bohrok are about equal in my eyes. Bohrok have more vibrant and diverse color schemes, but Bohrok-Kal had metallic armor that made them look "elite". Personally, I liked how the Krana were visible from the outside and matched the Bohrok's eye colors, but I can see how other people might have preferred the Bohrok-Kal's unique printed faceplates and metallic Krana-Kal. Bohrok-Kal have a slight advantage in terms of all their shields being symmetrical, which makes them more versatile in many ways. It's easy to see why many people like the Bohrok better, because they came first and the Bohrok-Kal thus felt redundant to a lot of people who had already collected the Bohrok. Personally, I'm not too interested in pitting sets against one another. I try to appreciate most sets for their merits, while also keeping aware of their flaws. That doesn't mean I don't have preferences, but I think it's important to keep things in perspective and recognize that a flaw that doesn't matter to me personally might really bother some other people, whereas an asset that is really important to me might not matter at all to other people.

Phyoohrii Posted February 4, 2015 Basically you're advocating that [more] silver was always the best idea in sets. That thinking is 100% correct. The fact that there wasn't an all silver set continues to be a crime. Quote Link to comment

fishers64 Posted February 4, 2015 Have you ever stopped to consider that your opinions are unpopular because they're wrong? That particular type of opinion can't really be wrong. Preferring Hordika to the Metru isn't going to start the global apocalypse. It's like my preference of preferring orange juice over apple juice. Quote Link to comment
