And the white blends in well with the white.

That's pretty awesome.

My little bro got Hahli and Nuparu Inika at the same sale due to a need to replace the parts of his old ones (most of which he lost before I even got to see). And upon seeing Hahli, I am amazed. Not at the mask, for it still looks feminine no matter what they say. I am talking about the weapon.

Take a look at the little track on the top. You know, the bar thing on which you could do some serious grinds had you a small enough skateboard (and body ). Now look at the little bullet-like thing on top of said track (onto which the upper, smaller blade is attached. Now look at what separates the two.

Yes, it's a harpoon gun (the coiled cables are even visible above and below the part that holds the batteries). But it's more than that. It's a railgun! 8D

Wow. I did notice something sticking out that looked cool, but now I'll have to look more carefully.

Spiffy, eh? It certainly wins my vote for Best Implied Weapon Function (beating out even all those that creatively use practical pistons). Hope you're equally impressed.

Kongu is nice, you have to admit it. Anyway, get any more Piraka?

They didn't have any.

I really want Vezok's sand ice blue.

I think it's just called sand blue. Ice blue is that transparent stuff from Kazi's Bohrok eyes (not the same as Kohrak's or Tahnok's).

I would say you should've balanced a Toa with a Piraka, but I suppose that wasn't an option...

Personally, I found both Kongu and Hahli to be on the lower side of the Inika in quality. Jaller's not bad, but the trans orange legs aren't what I expected... Rahkshi heads just had a cooler look to 'em.

The Official Guide to Bionicle (circa 2003) describes Matoro's color as "bluish silver."

You say sand blue.

Ice blue is Kopaka's eyes, Kazi's Bohrok eyes, and Matoro Inika's joints.

I'm trying to make a compromise on what makes sense from an ice character standpoint.

Aarrg! Someone ask GregF and get back to me.

Sand blue is the official LEGO name for that color. Bluish silver is the color of Matoro's mask in the same way that bronze or copper is the color of Pohatu's armor. i.e. not really, but it makes you wish they could be that shiny sometimes. Ice blue is probably not the official Lego color name (Lyi jokes that it's probably really the name for the color of that Gatorade from a few entries back ). Of course, I'm not gonna bother checking what the official name is until I have to.
