Both?

But Photok's better.

ORANGE!!!!!!

Yeah, they're only a few bucks each. Why not both?

Personally, Photok is better. Kirop gets boring, and lots of sets have that new torso. Besides, Photok can "run" with the way his legs are bent and the jetpack is awesome.

Yes, Photok. The jetpack, despite being flat silver, is way cool, and it integrates into the bent torso better than Tanma's.

Also, ORNJ.

And you'll have a pair of trans-light green Avo-Toran heads.

Eh... I'd have to say Both if you could--mostly for the part reasons you listed, but, if you could only get one get Photok. The feet alone are worth it =P

Photok, definitely.

Photok, Kirop, and Radiak were the only matoran I wanted. I think Photok looks best for a biped.

Especially wearing a visor-ed Kakama newva.

Photok. His array of orange is just great.

Photok. While Kirop's two toed feet are good, the wings are overrated.

Kirop.

Kirop.

Photok!

Photok for sure, 2 of them.

Photok. He may have a bad mask, but he has orange mata feet.

Hard to say. If you're getting Mutran or Vican at all, get Photok. If not, Kirop.

Photok fosho.

I'd have to go with Photok as well.

Kirop's parts are in more versatile colors (and, having recently seen his mask up close for the first time, I can confirm that it might find applications in even non-evil MOCs). I would also say that those feet of his are wonderful and might see widespread use as well. And you can never have too many Matoro Mahri tools. (Still hoping to sometime use Maxilos's and Hydraxon's parts on a Kikanalo revamp. Maybe I can even use Maxilos's face on an imitation "Lhikan!") His wings, regrettably, aren't that good, but I have no doubt you'd find at least some application for them.

Photok, while his orange is slightly different from classic orange which may or may not show up in photographs of MOCs using both, has a nice mask (though it does not connect with me as the Kakama and has a very Hordikalike profile). The feet, as you say, are good, and if I might say so the bley leg pieces may be easier to use than some other sorts in other colors. The jetpack piece I feel would make some great chest armor (Rahkshi revamp was the first thing that jumped to my mind), and has various other potential applications.

Head color may be a deciding factor, but really you can't go wrong. Pick whichever you feel is best.

I'm struggling with the same problem, except I need Radiak instead of Kirop. But I'm going for Photok first for the orange Toa Mata feet. There was a point when I wanted Kirop....

I'd say Photok first.

I want Photok, too. You should get him.

I'm too lazy for a complete review, so go get both.

Whoot Kirop! He's awesome, you won't be disappointed.
