I FOUND THE GLATORIAN LEGENDS.

I managed to buy Mata Nui and Ackar, and I have been saving money for Kaxium for months. I figured I'd review Ackar, since there was already a Mata Nui review.

All pictures here were taken from my DSi and saved to my SD Card, which was how I uploaded these onto majhost. Now relax as I rant on about this set.

Canister:

Ackar's canister is almost exactly like the other Glatorian Legends with a different picture and a major color difference.

Actual appearance may vary.

Enough said.

Pieces:

If you buy it, one thing you should notice is the Mata red! Glory, glory, Mata red!

Much more to it than that, though. Ackar is a combination of new pieces we've never seen previously...

Whee.

...and old pieces in new colors...

...and old junk we've seen before...

I'm not so sure about that little rod, though. ALSO IRON MAN

...and these four Mahritoran blades in orange found in a Power Miners set and an Exo-Force set, I think.

Building:

Half the fun of the set is building it. If you didn't have to build it, then it would most likely be a bootleg. Not sure how they'd get it into that canister...

Anyway, the instruction booklet is obvious. It starts by saying not to dump your LEGO Bricks on the carpet and to organize your pieces, then the instructions, then the BIONICLE Action Figure Game, then some Lego Club advertisement in six different languages showing outdated sets. Easy.

Whoops. Sorry, Lego.

So first you do the most important step: you put the black pegs into the Inika torso. You cannot do anything until you put the black pegs into the Inika torso!

Next you build the legs. Oh, and remember those two red axle joints?

You use them on the feet. Nothing deeper than that.

This set, along with some others, may bring back some memory of the Nuva in some ways.

For one, this guy's wearing bell bottoms.

I wish those pieces were a little less wobbly.

Next, you build the arms, which are vital for a

Falcon PAWNCH!

A few obvious steps later, you get to the helmet.

But wait- the actual helmet isn't transparent! IT'S A TRAP!

Oh, and so long as we're talking heads, I AM IRON MAN

After you finish, Ackar is ready for action. Start with a good, hearty IT'S A TRAP!

Completed Set:

First of all, he has gray hands. I think a line from one of my comedies should speak for itself: "...but we here at the LEGO Company believe an eye-searing color scheme is a good color scheme."

With a color difference, he reminds me of Berix.

As for his build, it kind of conflicts. I mean, he looks like a true Glatorian, with his Thornax launcher and sword...

...but then he stabs himself in the back with his bell bottoms.

As for his size, not counting the blades on his arms, he's a little taller than Mata Nui.

Oh, by the way, I found a way to resize the Ignika.

Photoshop not included.

Playability:

Playing with Ackar is as fun as playing with most modern sets.

Falcon PAWNCH!

He has thirteen points of articulation- in other words, standard stuff. However, it is possible to get the most out of it.

----

All in all, he's a good set, so if you don't hate the storyline or you're not a nostalgic set weenie, buy this thing. He has gray hands, but that can be fixed.

So thanks for reading this review. This was a pain to make. Now comment on how you hate him and that I'm a bad reviewer. Or anything else. Just don't spam.
