You heard right; the second in my series of Toa Inika reviews!

The Can:

At a whopping nine inches tall, this canister is more like a Box than anything. That's what's very unique about these cans; they're larger that the sets themselves!

The front of the box shows a portrait of Matoro standing in front of lightning and a chain-link fence.

The back shows how Matoro's functions work, small portraits of the other Inika, and the safety warnings covering the bottom half of the back.

And here's the top, displaying Matoro's four blue Zamoe spheres and his light-up ice blade.

The Pieces:

As I dump out the contents of the canister, I find plenty of new pieces, some classic older ones, and of course, Matoro's Iden.

Matoro's secondary color is a cool ice blue, which goes along great with his white coloring, not to mention his sword and Zamor spheres.

Here we see Matoro's Zamor magazine, two white Vahki legs, his shoulder armor, and the white lower legs and knee guards. You'll also see thigh armor up to the top left.

Here's Matoro's feet. His feet are the spiky type, which is also included in Hewkii and Jaller. We also have the Metru lower body and a pile of smaller pieces.

This is Matoro's Kanohi Iden: Mask of Spirit. Also, we have the blob which the mask attaches onto.

Might I comment that Matoro's mask doesn't fit as neatly onto the Blob as Kongu's does.

Here's all of the pearly-silver pieces in the set. Matoro's crossbar body, Zamor Launcher, Ice Blade, and Chest Armor.

Building:

The first surprise in this area is that the instruction manual doesn't have a horizontal picture of Matoro. It actually has a pan shot.

A little way into the project, Matoro's body is done.

Here's several more production pictures:

That last image is Matoro's Zamor launcher. As said before, the Zamor magazine improves the shooting of the spheres. See the Kongu review for more details.

Here's a last shot before we put on his mask and transform him into Matoro! (<Insert Vader breathing>)

"Lord Matoro... Can you hear me?"

Not onyl can that picture deliver a famous STAR WARS quote; it also gives you a closeup on Matoro's Iden.

Playing:

Matoro, as are all the Inika, is great fun to pose. He have a ton of flexibilty...

... Not to mention great balance, due to those huge feet of his.

And the light-up sword and Zamor add even more interest and playing experience to this set.

Overall:

Matoro is possibly the coolest of all the Inika; not that I'd know. But thanks to his secondary color scheme and awesome blue elements, he can beat Kongu in any contest.

Therefore, if you're going to get some Inika, I advise you to make Matoro one of them.

Since you've all sat there nicely, I'll reward you with a surprise:

Clicky!

This may or may not work for you guys, but I hope you enjoy it if it does.

Those close friends I have may have noticed 'Trai' in the background. And yes, that was him humming annoyingly, not me.
