Greatest Mask Design

[dee.3x3]

I don't know about my favourite, but I definatly do prefer the 2001 kanohi. So I suppose my top 3 would be:1. Great Miru2. Great Pakari3. Noble Huna

[PutYaGunsOn]

Lessee...I'll always love the original six great masks. So I'll get those out of the way.The Noble Ruru was always one of my favorite designs, even though its power really wasn't my favorite. I mean, I know it's practical in many cases, but there are so many better mask powers. But we're not talking about mask powers, so moving on.Also, the Great Mahiki. Dear God, the Great Mahiki. I friggin' love that thing. Such a simple design, yet so cool at the same time. Reminds me of a Japanese Tokusatsu Superhero. Kanohi Rider Henshin!

[Toa Of Virtues]

This is a tough one... maybe the kanohi Crast (the long insect-like Mistika mask). After that, maybe the Sanok, then the Akaku.

[GallifreyanOrigin]

There are certainly a lot of contenders for me, so let's see. I know the Ignika is probably my favorite because of the way they incorporated the Vitruvian Man as its face---just brilliant. Then there's the Crast and Vahi, both of which I've loved since they were first revealed due to their unorthodox designs. The Kadin, the Arthron, the Great Huna, and the Noble Kakama are all pretty good too. And then of course there's the Hau/original Hau Nuva/Lhikan's Hau, all of which are especially great; the Hau for its calm-but-strong heroic look, the Hau Nuva for the way it carried on the feeling of it's predecessor but at the same time looked stronger, and Lhikan's Hau for taking the look of the original Hau and putting a new perspective on it.The Olisi gets points too for being quite creepy looking. >=D

Definitely, Huna. Then maybe the Miru and the Suletu.

[Nuparu1995]

Definitely the Hau. I like the Kaukau, Kakama, Kualsi, and Avohkii a lot too.

[Toa Of Virtues]

I do like the look of the mask of ageing, too bad they didn't make it a set.

Edited June 21, 2012 by Toa Of Virtues

[Phauxx Lightning]

The Ignika, The Hau/Hau Nuva, and the Masks of all 6 Toa Inika (?) from 2006.

[Pantera]

Nuparu's Inika Mask.Awesome Spikes? Check.Err...? Check.I can't believe most everybody goes with the originals. They're a little boring to me.

[Soran]

The avohkii is by far my favorite. I don't really know why, its just something about it just seems really heroic, awesome, noble. The other masks I am fond of are in no particular order, the kakama, miru, Iden (organic version), Ignika, Olisi, Olmak and Kanohi Rode.~Soran

[Taka Nuvia]

The avohkii is by far my favorite. I don't really know why, its just something about it just seems really heroic, awesome, noble. [...]~Soran

You took the words right out of my mouth. So yeah, same here. Am I original or what ;n;

[Koro-Chaos]

Definately. When I think of Bionicle, what could be more symbolic, the mix of smooth symmetry and tribal openings. Also It's the common representation of Mata Nui and Tahu, how much more Bionicle could you get with those two?- - Koro~Chaos -- Edited July 11, 2012 by Koro-Chaos

[~Shockwave~]

I've always love the ignika.the way it looked was just... awesomemask of time is up there too, along with the hau.and the mask of shadow, and light. the original ones.am i aloud more than one?

[Toa of Ice - 1987]

I've alway like the almost cloak like design and narrow slits ot Toa Nuju's Great Matatu Mask of Telekinesis. If only he didn't have that scope but another eye instead it'd looked really mysterious.

Edited July 15, 2012 by .-:Kopaka Nuva:-.

[previnyl]

Really any of the original Mata masks. They are all very distinctive and original.I also really like the Kraahkan; it looks so menacing.

[Bambi]

I'm not sure.. Kopaka Mata's mask was pretty cool. Then again, most of the '01 masks were.

[Axilus Prime]

ALL Hau variations, especially 2008, Avohkii, Kraahkan, Jutlin, and Ignika.

[Vorahk1Panrahk2]

I always preferred the machine-like appearance of the 2001 and 2004 masks as opposed to the more organic looking masks of latter years. Out of those, my votes for best design would have to go to the Hau, Akaku, and Kaukau. The Hau is the most iconic, of course, but I love the scopes on the Akaku and the visor on the Kaukau.

[metrunui955]

Tahu's Hau, the 2007 Ignika, and the 2003 Avohkii.

[Aanchir]

I'm not fond of picking favorites in much of anything, but a mask I've always really admired is the Rockoh T3 edition of Pohatu's Kakama Nuva. It keeps the overall look of the Kakama Nuva while still feeling unique and futuristic.The Kanohi Ignika is also pretty incredible in its 2008 and 2009 forms. The Great Spirit icon just works so well as the shape of its face, and it has plenty of detail without going over-the-top.

[PDPsi HAN]

Definitely the six original. Probably the Hau, maybe the Miru. Both are heroic and powerful. The Hau seems more stern and determined, while the Miru still has the duty in mind but with a little fun.

[aaninja64]

The 01 Kanohi. Classic, and simple. Nothing really came close after that.Aaaand perhaps the 06 Ignika, from VNOLG. So pretty.

[Constructelf]

I think in general looks, mine would the Tryna from 2007. There is just something about those eyes...

[Valendale]

The noble Huna is my favorite. It kinda looks like the wearer can breath fire. The Kualsi and Pakari are great as well.

[MetruDriskull]

My favorites are:

• Hau
• Miru
• Kakama
• Pakari
• Akaku
• Huna
• Movie Mahiki
• Arthron
• Avohkii
• Kraahkan
• Olmak
• Olisi
• Noble Matatu

[BobaFett2]

I love the Hau as it is one of the symbols of BIONICLE. It represents everything within the universe. I'm also a big fan of Brutaka's mask among others.

[Jayk]

I always loved the Hau and the Great Mahiki. They had a noble, knight-like look to them; very fitting for Toa.

[turtleman]

Ignika, Miru and Matau's mask

[~Shockwave~]

the krahkaan. by far my favorite mask. though all the versions of the ignika are pretty neat to. (yes, even vezons)

[Kohaku]

The original Akaku is still my favorite, of course all of the old designs were great.

[Solaris Magnus]

The Hau is my overall favorite mask, due to an awesome design, and the nostalgia. Other than that I love the Pakari (it is part of my avatar after all ), the Avohkii, The Kakama, Miru Nuva (And Phantoka) and The Pakari Nuva (Mistika). -Star

[Difiz the G]

What, in your opinon, is the mask with the best design?I would say tahu mata's hau is the best due to its originallity and heroic look.

totally awesome

[MetaStriker]

+ For sure. I love the first two adaptations of the hau; they look so heroic, unyielding, and powerful, suitable to represent BIONICLE. The Hau Nuva, in my opinion, is one of the few Nuva masks which represents its original, and the original is awesome, which makes the Nuva version just as awesome.I also like the Avokhii, in all of its versions, being that it also looks heroic and powerful, but a little less stoic.And the Ignika...is super awesome. Tied with the original Hau for best mask, it is definitely one of the best pieces LEGO has ever designed in building action figures. Its Great Spirit icon and ridges around it simply being molded to fit a Metru head makes it amazing. Too bad I only got the Mata-Nui cansiter version though .All of the other BIONICLE masks are great though, and I especially like the Mask of Shadows, the Vahi, Pohatu Phantoka's Kakama (looks like a Vahi IMO), Jaller Mahri's mask, Lewa Phantoka's Miru, Turaga Whenua's mask, Nuju Metru's mask, and Lhikan's Hau.~TN:TS~

[Timelady Gallade]

The Kaukau. For noa reason!

[Linsanity]

The Volitak, Huna, Hau and Ignika.

[ToaGreshWave]

Pohatu (spelling?) Mata's

[Ektris]

One cannot help but love the simplicity of the Hau. It just carries with it a presence of nobility. If you want a smooth mask, it's the only way to go.But speaking of evoking emotion, the Kraahkan is similarly powerful in its sinister stare. Its two forms of appearance have also long been a favorite feature of mine.So it's really a toss up between the two. But I think I'll have to go with the Kraahkan. Its multiple display options are a huge plus, and it looks good in both of them.~|ET|~

[Squishyfrog]

aaaaaa it's so hard to choooosei'm not sure if it counts as a mask, but the Crest/Crast/Krest/Krast/can't remember how it's spelled THE ONE KRIKA HAS is a very cool head piece thing.the Miru has also been a longtime favorite(especially in teal), the Krahkan is also very intimidating and cool looking. oh and the VNOG style Mask of Life if that counts.gosh i have no clue how to spell Bionicle stuff anymore bluh

[Tommy_]

+ For sure.

These for nostalgia's sake. Apart from that, I've always liked the cyborg look of Kopaka (nuva) and Toa Nuju's masks. I don't know mask names, sorry :PI guess I'll join in and just say all the Toa Mata masks were cool. I was amazed about how ugly the Toa Nuva masks were in comparison( -> ?) . Or well, just Pohatu, Onua and Lewa's masks. The other ones were cool :)Also , because since the first time I saw it I liked the combination of a tribal mask on a 'robot'.Do the Bohrak masks count? (I'm a newb)If so, those Yeah, I don't know the Bionicle story line after the Rahkshi that well, so I don't know the masks. I'm sure a lot will get added to the list.

[~garnira returns~]

original miru or vamprah's avsa or kraahkan or faxon.
