A Quick Glance At Toa Kongu


I was just lucky to get another Toa Inika now. I had to make a deal with my little (but apparenlty richer) sister... I driver her places for a couple of months, and she helps me buy a Toa. I think that tips me over into the "Obsessed" section of the Bionicle fans, but oh well...

 

Kongu is just like Hewkii. The color sceme could be better, but I do prefer the body and feet of Kongu over the ones of Hewkii. The weapon is awesome with the blue lights, and the blue zamour is nifty too.

 

But, I do have a problem with him. Allow me to shout...

 

HIS ARMS ARE TOO LONG!

 

Seriously. Held down, they reach to his knees, which can't be right. With his arm and crossbow fully extended, it is longer than he is tall! I thought Hewkii's arms were bad... Kongu's are insane! I suppose Jaller's won't be much better either. Plus, I can't see how to fix it. Making the upper shoulder joints shorter won't work with the armor... I think the body should probably be longer. The hunched over look worked for the Piraka, but the shorter body makes the Inika's arms toooooo long.

 

That and the head. The Suletu is not the greatest replacement for Kongu's Miru, and its pretty ugly. The eyes are large, though. And if you follow the instructions, Kongu's head is hunched over on his body... I moved the connection up a bit to prevent him from slouching.

 

Well, between Kongu and Hewkii, I've seem much of what the Inika have to offer, piecewise (except for those translucent pieces). They're both okay, but the arms are too long. I will stand firm on that issue. But the zamour launchers are great! I combined Hewkii's and Kongu's magazines to store about seven of those spheres, and I had fun launching them. I think those magazines will be the main motive to buy more Inika... that and those translucent pieces that I want.

All Inika have the same arm length.

Hewkii has the Vahki-leg lower arm piece, while Kongu has the old Toa Metru leg. While the two pieces are almost the same length, I think the Metru leg is a hair longer... but as it is thinner, it gives Kongu the look of longer arms. Anyway, if you want to play it that way, then both Kognu and Hewkii have too long of arms. :P

Actually, the Vahki and Metru arm pieces are exactly the same length ... So yes, all the Inika's arms are too long. :P Which would be remedied by having shorter arms, since the body is a good length ... Maybe a little short, but it's the arms that are the problem.

 

Kongu's arms probably look longer because both his arms and body are a lot thinner than Hewkii's, where Hewkii is blocky all around ...
