My Opinions On The Winter 2009 Bionicle Sets
I'm torn. The sets are good as sets...but they don't feel like Bionicle to me. Like, at all. They feel like Knights Kingdom made with Bionicle parts. I hold hope that the launchers we're seeing are just prototypes, and that they aren't actually reusing Zamor launchers. Hand pieces are pretty cool.
Set by set.
Vorox is fail in the worst degree. Tan. Disgusting. MOAR YELLOW PLEZ. He also looks like the sort of horrible Toamod I'd have built a few years ago.
Skrall looks like Exo-Force meets Bionicle. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing.
Gresh...I have mixed opinions on him...He's mostly green instead of the greyn(To coin a term) we've had with Kongu and Lewa Phantoka, which is a plus. However, the spikes are overdone. Too many pointies, my pretties.
Tarix. White spikes need to go. Even if they didn't destroy the color scheme, they're still ugly. Tube also needs ditching. Good weapons.
Malum. The plastic building toy definition of "awesome".
Strakk. Iceh. Kewl.
The small sets are all basic Avtoran builds. Nothing special in that.
Berix...neat helmet and weapons.
Metix. I wonder if every one of him produced will have a unique shield. =P
Zesk. Despite being only a handful of pieces, he's cooler than his canister set companion could ever dream of being.
Atakus has coolio swords. Nothing else really stands out about him.
Raanu, I can't tell if he has orange or yellow feet. Either color is most welcome.
And there you have it.
