Okay. It is the sunday after force friday right now. I'd like to talk about the construction figures for a moment. I got all six of them, three on friday and three yesterday. I also got the FO tie fighter. Its pretty sweet.

Back on topic...... The figures are AWESOME. Like really frickin awesome. Every single one of them is a good set. The highlights would of course be grievous in his entirety, because he's so huge and insane, and vader's custom torso build. I really was not expecting them to be as big as they are. Even the smaller of the 6 stand with the tallest of the toa. Vader is just under a foot tall, and grievous is just over a foot tall. All of them were fun to build and are proving fun to pose/play with.

I'd like to talk about vader's custom torso. This was really impressive. It definitely shows how hard they tried to make this figure look good and cool. The whole thing is pretty much smaller technic pieces used together in really cool and unique ways. The end result is a torso-esque shape with ball joints all around it to attach the limbs and armor. I loved building it, and I love looking at it.

Now I'd like to tie this in to bionicle.

I think the 2015 toa are cooler than these sets. Even on a purely objective level. Grievous and vader are the only ones that give bonkle a run for its money, but the rest of the 4 are put to shame by even pohatu(who is actually my favorite of the '15 toa). The new star wars sets do look awesome and pose well, but gear functions from the 2015 toa alone just puts the star wars sets to shame. How awesome would it have been if vader and luke could swing their light sabers at each other? Oh well. They're still awesome. Bionicle is better. Never surrender.
