Favorite Collectible?

[Bonkle]

You should expect these topics regularly from now on.

 

What is your favorite BIONICLE collectible? You can answer the poll, but I would appreciate if you explained why in a post. Personally, I like Kanohi masks the best because they are the most universally-used items, and there are tons of cool designs.

The Kanohi because there's a lot of variety in the designs. Unlike the spheres, Rhotuka spinners, Kraata, or whatever, they usually have a unique appearance and not recolors.

I should have had the foresight to realize what a landslide the poll will be towards Kanohi.

I like Kanoka because of the cool numbers. A neat little code of power to figure out.

I said Krana. I always thought those were the coolest things in the universe! Masks that were organic and bendable!

I like the Krana, but it always annoyed me that they were the true 'brains' behind the Bohrok. I kinda wish the Rahkshi were different.

Kanohi. I loved that still even in the later years of Bionicle they still made new masks and powers

[Toa Smoke Monster]

Kanohi. I always liked getting masks in new shapes or colors.

I always really liked Kanohi Packs. It's nice to have different masks in a variety of colors.

[Rooster Nui]

The Kanohi are my favorite! So many shapes, colors and powers, such little time.

[Hidron Nuva]

Kanohi all the way, they're not only collectibles but they can also be used in MOCs and such.

[Toa Turing]

I'm not much of a collector, but I have to agree with the majority here in that the kanohi win outright. Aside from the far superior MOCing potential, they had a uniqueness that the others couldn't quite match. the krana all kind of look the same from a distance, and the only real variation in kraata is color. Don't even get me started on the projectiles.

[Toatapio Nuva]

The Kanohi of course - for all the reasons stated above.

[Guardian Legend]

I wasn't into BIONICLE at the time when the Kanohi were the collectible, but I can easily understand why everybody loved them, then and now.

Always a big Kanohi fan. One of those things that makes Bionicle so iconic.

[T.B.O.C]

I've always liked the Krana more. Much harder to break than Kanohi, too

[Naota Takizawa]

I know that bionicle collectibles aren't going to be made anymore since they don't make a lot of money, but I would love to see mask packs, they offer kanohi in more colors which is useful when building bionicle creations and I have to say the same about the krana, they look cool and they don't get damaged like kanohi do. The Kraata are a bit limited in use, but they have tons of great color schemes and I'm sure there's a way to use them besides sticking them in our rahkshi sets.

 

The kanoka are decent collectibles, but I find their uses limited due to their shape, how can anyone connect a disk to anything? The rhotuka also suffer from the same problem and they can't be useful in MOCing.

 

The Zamor sphere packs should've come in more colors, black, silver and gold just aren't appealing enough and having more colors would've solved that problem. The squids pretty much killed the collectible market because of the faulty launchers and the fact that they only came in orang and blue.

[Votuko]

Hands down, the best has got to be Zamor Spheres.

Nothing beats that feeling of breathtaking suspense before you open the shapely cardboard box:

 

...Will I get gold Zamors? YES

...Will I get silver Zamors? YES

...Will I get gunmetal Zamors? YES

...Will I get cool green or Inika colour Zamors? NO (lol jk who wants those rubbish ones)

 

And that doesn't even get onto the excitement of how many of each colour you get. 3/3/4? 4/3/3? 2/4/4? (By the Great Spirit, is that even possible?)
