Editorial Review

According to the Legends of the Bionicle, Muaka is a large tiger-like creature with snapping jaws and clawed hands, and Kane-Ra resembles a great bull with a nasty bite and horns. After following the detailed illustrated instructions, both Muaka and Kane-Ra are capable of extending their necks a great distance, making it easier for them to corner and catch prey. Muaka relies on his snapping jaws, Kane-Ra on his sharp horns. Like all of the Makuta's minions, these monsters can be defeated when their masks are knocked off--but beware, they are the masters of surprise. --M. Sullivan

Product Description

Fighting tooth and claw With sharp claws and powerful jaws, Muaka is a fierce tiger-like beast - and Kane-Ra's sharp horns make him just as deadly! Under the control of Makuta, these are among his most powerful servants. But if the Toa beat them in battle, the beasts can be tamed. Squeeze Muaka's mid-section and his head extends, revealing snapping fangs to knock off Kane-Ra's mask. Each set contains both Muaka and Kane-Ra.

This review is from: LEGO 8538 BIONICLE MUAKA & KANE-RA (Toy)

Muaka and Kane-Ra are by far my favorite Rahi(Monsters). They can extend their necks abots four inches. It sometimes chomps up the toa, but mostly sends him or her flying. Very fun to do. Unlike most of the other Rahi, these ones seem to be designed specifically for attacking each other.(Which makes the Muaka and Kane-Ra mask battle funner) They bite at the perfect level to snap off the others mask. They are pretty durable, but when you take off the mask on their shoulders, their arms fall off! However the mask holder attachen onto the masks better than others.Plus Muaka comes with special infected masks! In short, a very good buy.

Muaka and Kane-Ra are by far the biggest Rahi, that is, lenghtwise, Tarakava beats it in height. Anyway, Muaka and Kane-Ra are designed to disable each other. Using their extendable necks, which by the way, can extend about 4 inches! If one were to get a hold of the other's mask, they have the oppurtunity to pull the stem out that it sits on, and make them lose an arm. Don't worry, the arm is VERY simple to put back on. Muaka and Kane-Ra also have a single tread, which allows them to ride on smooth surfaces. (I tried it on my bed and carpet which didn't work, but I already suspected that to happen.) Overall this is a great gift for kids who are really into the Bionicle series.

This review is from: LEGO 8538 BIONICLE MUAKA & KANE-RA (Toy)

I own a few bionicles now and so far Mukata and Kani-Ra are my favorite. It took about 1 day to build Mukata, and about 2 hrs. to build Kani-Ra. The first time I put Mukata together, he wasn't extending his neck properly. I had to go back and rework him. If you don't use the extra pieces to hold the masks in place the masks and arms will fall off. Another good think is that Mukata comes with the rare infected mask. (Highly Collectable!!!) Mukata resembles a tiger and Kani-Ra, a bull. Their awesome. I found out that if you don't take off a certain part below Kani-Ra's head his mouth will not open. The directions say to put this piece on, but I didn't because his month would not open. The only bad thing I can say, is I was missing some small pieces, but I was able to get them from some extra pieces I had from another bionicle (Nuju). These toys were great fun and made a great Christmas gift. Hope they make more.
