That's right, viewers. I'll be reviewing Kongu Inika, through a full, lenghy review.

The Can:

The canister is the same style as all of the ones we've seen through the staff reviews of Matoro, Jaller and Hewkii. This one has a Metru-Green cap, Kongu's sword, the blue zamor, and an awesome picture of Kongu himself on the front. Fairly simple, and my favorite part has to be the lightning.

The back has a close-up of Kongu, a picture of Voya-Nui, and small portraits of the other Toa Inika.

However, the most interesting part of the canister tends to be the top, which boasts a rack full of four blue-shaded Zamor Spheres and the light-up sword. This piece is actually two pieces, one being the green outer covering, and the other being a black base that holds these items.

The Pieces:

This shot is basically of all the pieces included in the set, ranging from his Kanohi Suletu, Mask of Telepathy, to his silver-tainted armor and feet.

Some old pieces we've seen before; the two-socket connecters and the one-socket connectors. The two-socket connectors, however, never came in Metru-Green before.

Some more familiar pieces, though these are harder to find; a Zamor Launcher, two Metru lower legs, and a Metru lower body.

These pieces are entirely new. We have the two feet, which are primarily Metru-Green tainted with silver. We have the body piece, which resembles the Piraka torso. We have the two lower legs; these, however, are quite interesting, as they are the first to have a knee guard built in. This limits any unrealistic beinding, and adds a nice effect. Lastly, we have the chest armor, which consists of a swirl of green and silver.

The new silver pieces; two shoulder armor pieces, two upper leg armor pieces, and Kongu's laser crossbow.

Here we see Kongu's Zamor spheres, and the silver Zamor 'cage'. I especially like this piece, which holds all of the spheres in place. Though sometimes, the top one falls off, so be careful when tilting Kongu.

In addition, the cage creates a top hold, thus surrounding the sphere in the launcher bay. Previously with the Piraka, the sphere was surrounded only by the sides and bottom. With the added top support, the sphere then shoots in a straight line until brought down by drag. To quote Dr. B:

"This means you can shoot Vezok 3 times in exactly the same spot and give him one heck of a black eye."

Which I ought to try...

And the most questionable pieces of all; the 'blob' and Kongu's Suletu. Most seemed to either love or hate the 'mask on blob' concept immediately. I tended to like it. The mask fits comfortably upon the blob, which others were not so sure about.

The Set:

Here are some pictures in the building stages:

Kongu's build is simple and straightforward. Though I must comment on the color scheme. I've seen Jaller and Matoro, both with a scheme of having the element colored armor and secondary-colored joints. On Kongu, this is the opposite, which had me a bit disappointed.

I got over it after the set was done.

Overall:

Kongu is an awesome set, and very fun to pose. His light-up sword, which I unfortunately couldn't snapshot, is incredibly bright. Though as it's the same as Matoro's, just take Tom Dracone's say and pics. It's awesome.

Therefore, I conclude that Kongu Inika is an awesome set. From the laser crossbow to the rapid-fire Zamor Launcher, I say that he's definitely worth it.
