5.0 out of 5 stars The Seventh Toa at last!, September 7, 2003

This review is from: Lego Takanuva (8596) (Toy)

The only bad thing is that you can't get Taka by himself, you have to buy the AirCycle too, not that I'm complaning, its really cool, but a little fragile. Taka is built like all the other toa exept for his own mask (THE MASK OF LIGHT).
Taka also holds on pretty well so as long as you don't drop it, you can play with it just like all the other Bionicle products.
Taka himself is very playable, and comes with the STAFF OF LIGHT which is stored on his back, and can be put in his right hand,
to swing it around with the clasic gear-nob on its back. AND his mask stays on better than the other toa. ...

This is a must have for anyone who has Bionicle!

5.0 out of 5 stars Takanuva, the strongest Toa., March 12, 2004

This review is from: Lego Takanuva (8596) (Toy)

This toy is really cool. It comes with the Mask of Light (which you can't get anywhere else) and a grey Tahu mask (people who have seen the Bionicle: the movie know what it is). You can build Takanuva and his cycle and it gets pretty tricky at one part, but that's the fun of it. Takanuva looks cooler than any of the other Toa. His mask stays on to his face better than the standard Toa mask and it shines when you expose it to light. He also comes with a staff which he can swing up and down like the other Toa. He can also attach it to his back. The cycle is cool too. If you push a switch it puts out its landing gear and stays in place. You can also put kraati in 3 secret compartments. It doesn't come with kraati so you should buy a pack of them seperatly. Overall this is a great thing to have, either for a display model or a toy to play with. You also might want to buy Makuta so you can combine him with Takanuva to make Takutanuva. Then you can pretend to destroy Mata Nui or use him to scare your little sister.

This review is from: Lego Takanuva (8596) (Toy)

Takanuva is one of the coolest toa nuva. He comes with a lot of cool accessories like his 2 masks (1 is his standard and it also comes with a glitter gold mask in the same shape. He also comes with a grey kanohi hau mask to fit on his vehicle. Takanuva is easy to build like all the other toa nuvas. His vehicle, however is a different story. It is fairly complex and may take a little while but, it is critical that you read the instructions carefully. He also comes with a staff which can attach to his back when riding.
