Well, no Mata red/blue in the Makuta Phantoka may mean my old theory is still valid, that being that bright colors have been reserved for the Nuva. Which means we can expect Tahu and Gali in Mata red and blue.

Sure, LEGO's probably going to prove me wrong, but one can always hope, right?

Pohatu is indeed less spiffy than I had anticipated... the new tools are disappointing (I thought there would be some function where you just pull on the back to convert it from propellors to drills, and I don't like the look of them). Kopaka's mask looks better than I expected... while it bears minimal resemblance to the old Akaku Nuva, I think that is a plus rather than a minus (the old Akaku Nuva looked more like a Hau than an Akaku IMO anyway). And so what if it looks slightly like a Ruru? If LEGO can make its similarity to past masks after seven years of sets less than or the same as its similarity to past masks after one year I welcome it with open arms. And Lewa is still awesome.

And the Makuta Phantoka? I have little faith in the torso's MOCing potential but so far no major disappointment aside from the colors.
