Kylus Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 C'mon, you know you wanted these when you were a kid. I remember having the Tahu ones as a 5/6 year old. These were awesome.PICS:http://www.beststuff.com/images/articles/111202b.jpgThe Rahkshi ones are pretty sweet.And then there's the BZP article... http://www.bzpower.c...tory.php?ID=689 2010 Set Progress- Stars: 6/6 - Collectable Minifigs: 6/16 flickr)-((Organized) Confusion)-(Shadow Enclosures Ventorus Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballom Nom Nom Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yeah, I certainly remember those crazy Bionicle shoes. Weird product, I must say. :PBut anyway, given that your main question is whether we remember them or not, it seems this would be better off as a poll.~B~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Smoke Monster Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I remember these. I never actually saw them in stores, but I did see pictures of them on the instruction booklets of the Bionicle sets I got when these cool shoes came out. Along with the ones pictured here, there was also a show that came with the Mask of Light. (Though the one with the Hau Nuva is still my favorite.) Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voxumo Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 well i remember them but only because of the transparent orange kraata. i never did get them or the kraata but i would have just for the kraata even though at that time my feet were already too big for them. and plus it was like impossible to find up here in little old alaska. now my question is do you remember those toothbrushes where the bristles had a part that covered them and could hold a kanohi nuva on it.

Cederak Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I still have a Tahu Nuva toothbrush somewhere...not sure where though, haven't used it in years. Yeah, my Onua Nuva one has gone unused for years now in the medicine cabinet. I wonder if the battery still works...But I remember the Bionicle comics advertising the shoes and how you could swap out the masks/Rahkshi heads. I feel like there was similar advertising during 2004, but I can't recall what the products were.-Ced Cederak's Library l Blog: Fair Enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyichir Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I had a pair of Tahu Nuva ones. Awesome in theory, but in practice they wore out easily and the mask connections were some of the first things to go.

Lyichir Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I was never interested in those things. They looked silly, not to mention ugly.I thought they looked okay, especially if you removed the mask. Then they became just ordinary sneakers with BIONICLE-inpired patterns near the soles, which was truly awesome.

Peach 00 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I recall the Vakama and Whenua slippers, but not the Nike sneakers way back when. On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...

Meiko Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Oh goodness not these. My brothers both had a pair though I did not. I am actually glad for that, because I don't want to make myself look any weirder than I already do in public places. :PI don't have them anymore, because we threw them away after they got torn up. I'm not sure if they got torn up by being cheap or overuse... or both. -- Meiko - @georgebarnick LUG Ambassador and administrator at Brickipedia News reporter and database administrator at Brickset Administrator at BIONICLEsector01 DISCLAIMER: All opinions and contributions made under this account are based solely on my own personal thoughts and opinions, and in no way represent any of the above groups/entities.

The only reason I didn't get a pair was that my school had a weird dress code regarding shoes (among everything else), and having them just for weekends didn't seem worth the money to my parents. *sigh*-Ced Cederak's Library l Blog: Fair Enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PutYaGunsOn Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) I had the Takanuva version of those shoes. All my friends thought they were cool, and well, suited me, since I was the Bionicle guy in my class. Except one guy. He made fun of them simply for not being Heelys. No kraata, though...also the Onua toothbrush.

Andrewnuva199 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I still have my Tahu Nuva ones with Gali Nuva masks. Never did wear them regularily, though. My feet had a condition at the time that necessated me to wear laced shoes all the time, and the Bionicle ones were strapped. A bit disappointing. Your Honor, I Plead the Fifth.
