Acquired Tahu and Ikir. Let's start with Ikir: Mostly looks good. Mostly. The talons on the feet are nice, able to wrap around a finger tightly. The way the wings attach, however, looks horribly awkward. (Terak has the same problem, but it's hidden well) The tail flaps the wings in a mechanism that's exactly the same as Uxar using different pieces, and the tail itself looks decent... when down. When it's up and the wings are far back, it looks awkward as it's jutting out of the middle of Ikir's back, instead of where a tail should be. I also wish they'd recolour the red + yellow transparent flame pieces to orange and yellow or red and orange already, as right now there are very little transparent yellow or transparent red pieces, and isnted a lot of transparent orange pieces. Ikir's head is nice, being transparent orange and gold, which is honestly a rather nice looking combination of colours. Onto Tahu: I've done a complete 360 on my position on Tahu now that I've seen him with my own eyes. He doesn't look anywhere near as bad as people claim, IMO. Transparent Orange and Gold is a wonderful combination. (Bright for six years? Not overused, somehow... Dark (metru) red for four years? Overused!) I don't really understand the seeming disappointment about the piece of unification being used as armour, or the dislike of the torso. They're hardly the first pieces of their kind with such detail. (Both of the breakout add-ons - round and square, breakout torso, piston piece, skull armour piece, skull axe, skull sword, Lewa/Gali axe pieces, Onua shoulder pieces, Tahu lava board piece things, Ordeal of Fire jetbug engine shells, Ordeal of Fire weapons... yeah, since the start of CCBS.) What doesn't fit on Tahu is the blue, IMO. The gears on the weapons make them stick out to the side a little too much, The shoulders are also a little too wide, like wider-than-an-inika Torso wide. And that's ridiculously wide, since Inika torso wide was already pushing it way back in G1. Wide shoulders work well on Onua since Onua was meant to be wide, not so much on Tahu.
