Kopaka Nuva is in my opinion the best Toa Nuva. It is excruciatingly fun, and just looks cool. Even though it is a ton like the original, it is still very fun. Some may not want to get it because its so much like the original, but if your a collector or a nuva fan then I reccomend this item next time you got to a store! It is pretty durable especially for a lego and will only brake if you want try to break it. Being a building toy, it is also very educational. You can use your imagination to make new things and not just what its supposed too. Kopaka Nuvas mask is also harder to knock off then the originals making it fit better to the storyline and at the same time preventing irritating mask falling off during playing! So on a scale of one to ten this is a TEN! Why are you still reading this? Go! Buy it!

Kopaka Nuva is my second-favorite Toa Nuva, following very,very close to Lewa Nuva.

He has the most defence of the Toa Nuva (aside from Tahu Nuva, because of his Kanohi Hau Nuva- mask of shielding) because he, unlike the other Toa, has a shield AND two blades on either sides of his free hand.

His Kanohi Akaku Nuva lets him see incredibly far distance, invisable objects, and right through things. In my opinion, it even looks better and looks like it could actually fit on a human head easily if it was up to scale.

His ice swords can be converted into ice skates that allow him to travel extremely fast along his terrain.

Unlike the original Kopaka, Kopaka Nuva has body shoulder and leg armor that all, except the leg armor, can be removed. This gives him a much taller and stronger appearence than his original form.

The only disadvantage is that if you, as I do, like to battle them (first to knock the opponent's mask off with only the weapon arm(s) or in Pohatu's case, leg, wins), you have a small disadvantage because he is the only Toa that has one weapon arm (unless you make his shield thrash as well), and the double ice sword can make attacking awkward and in a sense, difficult.

But if you don't battle them or just don't care about this small drawback, you will give Kopaka Nuva a perfect score of five stars as well. In a nutshell, BUY KOPAKA NUVA!!!

Kopaka Nuva (an advanced version of Kopaka) is, well , advanced his shield is bigger, which means he has more protection against rahi, bohrok , bohrok kal , cahdok and gahdok, and yes, even the legendary Rahkshi coming later this July. his ice blade alows him to freeze enemies in there tracks, and with a few modifications, he can even ski down the icy slopes of mount Ihu with them. I've been building with lego ever since i was very young, and i have never seen this challenging (and cool)types of lego sets. Kopaka (my favorite toa) is a great starter for a bionicle collection. i suggest to get them all!

Kopaka Nuva is the elevated form of Kopaka. yes, he does not seem much differet, but here are the facts:

Kopaka Nuva's mask is more powerful
His shield is bigger, allowing better defense
he has a DOUBLE BLADED SWORD.
the blades for his sword can come off and attatch to his feet, making ice skates.

the only qualm I have is that the shield looks a little too common because it has four traditional Lego Knobs on the front, but I used a matching color "Hubcap" piece to cover up the distracting hole. it's a bit educational, but they give you visual directions.

Buy now.

It was a challenge to build, but a good challenge. He's fun to play with and even comes with a storyline! The mask comes off really easily though, wich is the only dawback. I wish I had bought it earlier!

Kopaka Nuva is cool. You can put his blades on his feet to make ice skates. You also can make both his blade and sheid move. His Kanohi also looks cool. He is the only Toa Nuva that doesn't have double weapons.

Well, Kopaka is Tahu's younger brother. Only because Thau's the oldest out of all Toa, because if you read the information on the trading card game it tells you he is the oldest because is as old as the world. Kopaka lives on top of Mount Ihu which is in Ko Koro.

This toy teaches you to share. It has a bigger shield than the old one. It can ice skate and take the ice skates and use them as cutters. I hope you like this toy. It's awesome.

This guy sent me a terrible product. It all came taken apart and NOT built. And it came with no instructions, so how am I going to build it now? Never buy from this guy he is a scammer. If you want to waste your money, go to this guy. And did I mention that the pieces came in terrible condition also? The helmet was all stained. I reccomend GT3mich a lot more.

Kopaka Nuva, the cold, unemotional Toa Nuva of ice, is great! His swords/ice skates, larger shield, and larger mask make him stronger than ever. I had only one gripe about Kopaka Nuva-- his inflexible left arm. This can be remedied by replacing the stiff arm with a leg from the Classic Kopaka, giving the arm more flexibility. The four-star durability is because the head might slide off
