Oh My, I Can Has Flying Plastic People?
We got the Mistika today! Whoo! Talk about a nice suprise after going to the YMCA. Now I, I've got some weird traditions. Knowing the Mistika were here, I quickly went to work with cleaning my room and taking a shower. Yes, when new sets come out, you gotta do the ritual. Clean the room and take a shower- or maybe I just took a shower because I just finished working out for the first time in ages.
Anyways, I got Gali, Krika, and Tahu. Yeah, a few of my friends said I should only buy one at a time, but in the end I decided to tackle all three of them at once because of a deal I struck up with my mom. I got Tahu for free because of my grades before school ended that she never paid me for *Yes, I get paid for good grades* .
Anyways, I'm not gonna do some in depth review or anything, but I will give you an idea about them.
I've only opened Gali so far. Why? I decided to listen to my friend's advice. Instead of building them all at once and getting bored with them within the week, I'm opening them up one at a time. I was originally going to open up one every week, but that might as well be like asking you to eat some uber-chocolate cake, like, one bite of it every week. So I'll just keep playing with Gali and my brother's Bitil until I grow bored. Then I'll open up Krika, and the fun renews itself.
Okay, now about Gali herself:
-Overall, she's pretty good from the start. Maybe it's just me, but I think she's about the soundest in design when it comes to the Nuva. Yes, maybe extremely simple and lacking real weapons, but she's not bad, either.
- Yes, you can actually fit the sets in their canisters again. Baby Xar was able to fold Bitil up and store him in his canister fairly easy, and I could store Gali too if it wasn't for the "teeth" on her shoulder pads. But taking them off is fairly easy, so yeah, you can store her- which is nice because the canisters are quite eye catching with their Mata colors. All I don't understand why they use Mata colors on the canisters and not the sets themselves, but oh well.
- Her mask is just awesome. Not really feminine, but hey, she's a robot. However, I still plan to give her a light revamp.
Overall, Gali is a nice set- I am going to revamp her lightly. Gonna give her shorter arms, an inika torso so she doesn't seem so creepily muscular, some gear in the front so she has a chest *and to cover up the ugly merging point between the pelivs and the chest- I've always hated that*, and give her classic yellow eyes. I find it annoying how all the toa have green eyes this year. That's gonna be fixed.
All in all, she's a nice set, not without her flaws- but they're easily fixed. I reccomend her, despite some of the critisism she gets.
