Inika And Kanohi

[Raph]

I'm try to combine 2 topics in one. 1. Toa Inika is one of favorite teams and Bionicle sets. I'm soon going to get Nuparu Inika. And wanna ask you guys: how do you describe them? i mean is they cool, or they have some cons? if they do wich ones? i only know that they have rubber masks. and thier heads is glow in dark. 2. Kanohi packs 2001 year is perhaps most cool collectible in BIONICLE. And what you think?

[Manterax Prime]

First off, the Inika heads do not glow in the dark. I had Jaller and Hahli and they never glowed in the dark.

[Ehlekdude]

Out of all the Inika, Nuparu is definately the best. Their heads do not glow in the dark. Oh, and about cons, Jaller's sword is wierd and not that great. I'd rank them: Nuparu - Hewkii - Matoro - Kongu - Jaller - Hahli. The Zamor tend to fall out a lot on all Inika.

[Aris621]

Well, I like the Inika. They have cool weapons and I really like their swords. But I don't like the masks. (and the Piraka/skakdi heads is glow in the dark, not the Inika heads)And yes, I really like the Kanohi from the 2001 Mask Packs, specialy the rare misprints (Ruru, Matatu and Kaukau)

[Simulacrum]

The Inika have personal value to me, so of course i'm going to say they're awesome.

Inika is sure cool that's why i wanna get Nuparu. my favorite ones is Kongu Jaller and Nuparu. They are cool. As sets they have some new parts for MOC. and they looking cool in BIONICLE collection/

1. The Inika was the year that the sets began to use generic builds. I like the light-up swords and the electric feel, but overall they´re not my favorite. Also, the heads don´t glow.2. I think they´re really cool, and I would have liked to get some if I was into that back then. Edited December 21, 2011 by Waffles

You don't really have to combine two topics into one; there's even already a topic about the 2001-2003 Kanohi, more or less, here.1. The Inika heads don't glow in the dark, although they have light-up weapons (or "Toa Tools," as it may be). It's the Piraka with the glow-in-the-dark feature (on their teeth). Nuparu was probably among my favorite of the Inika, particularly because he had quite a few pieces that weren't used often again (such as those in that light shade of grey); however, Hewkii was the most interesting in build, character (in-story), and piece selection (gunmetal grey).1a. As for cons, the Inika certainly weren't the best year of sets. Unfortunately, the Inika were largely the same; I think that they had about five distinguishing characteristics, none of which affected the build substantially. They also lacked functions beyond light-up tools; although that made them much more pose-able, they weren't as good for playing/fiddling with. I'd say that they're worth getting to look cool in a collection or for their pieces, but don't get the Toa Inika (beyond one or maybe two) if you rarely buy BIONICLE. (Also, buying them second-hand may not be the best idea, as sets like Jaller are likely to be unnecessarily expensive.)2. Absolutely--I loved getting a bunch of Kanohi for MOCing and (nearly) completing my collection. I have only really cared about the collectibles from 2001 and 2002 (since I never really bought any Kanohi from 2003).~ BioGio

I personally liked the Inika. What was inr=teresting about them were the light-up swords, Nuparu claws, and swords. Yeah, Nuparu is a good set to get, along with Hewkii.

I thought the Inika were good sets, I just wished they had normal masks and heads, because they're pretty much useless. The Kanohi packs were an amazing idea and I wish I had been a fan back then. As it was, I never got any.

i don't got many of kanohi as well.As for inika, i think same 'bout thier heads. but rubber masks is also good idea.

[Peach 00]

The Inika were pretty awesome sets, although they had cons. And the Kanohi packs were awesome, too, but I wasn't a fan at the time they came out. However, I bought one cheap, I can't remember the price, though.

[Protodite Karzahni]

The Inika were pretty sweet. They were probably among the most influential in Bionicle's recent history, given every second set and its mother copied their design afterwards. After the Piraka, they were one of the first fully-action figure based sets and for that reason I loved them. Also those awesome light up weapons.

[Akuna Toa of Sonics]

1. Nuparu is beast, and the heads don't glow in the dark.2. Agreed.

[- JL -]

They were revolutionary sets, creating the new larger body design with big armor pieces, etc. However, after those years sets got boring, using the same old design for body system again and again. I liked the masks, and also the swords, although the Zamora spheres always fell.

[a goose]

I know quite a few people have already said this, but the heads don't glow in the dark.The pro's would be that these were very original sets (when they were released), and although not that different from eachother, c'mon guys, no-one complained about the Mata, Nuva or Metru.The con's would be that you need to be very careful with the masks, as they can easily be bent out of shape and refuse to fit the head.Nuparu is probably one of the best, along with Matoro.

Toa Inika has some good colour combinations, but It's the only good thing about them. Their masks look disgusting. I also hate these light-up weapons, because they're too big and heavy and almost useless in MOCs.

[MVahi13]

They were really good when they first came out, a shame that their designs were overrused the next few years....

[Phauxx Lightning]

They were really good sets, good looks and great pose-ability (?). Don't except too interesting of a build, but they're good sets all together. The zamors will fall out though, so I'd Moc a solution to that. (I used 2003 Matoran arms)

[Nuparu1995]

First off, the Inika heads do not glow in the dark. I had Jaller and Hahli and they never glowed in the dark.

Yeah, it was the Pirakas' heads that glowed in the dark.And, I agree, the Inika were a new breakthrough in set poseability for the line.

[Raph]

Thanks for the answers guys.

Inika were my second favorite year., the masks are amazing and unique, but the geads don't live up to their glow-in-te-dark reputation.
