Editorial Review

Customer reviewers seem to have arrived at one word to describe this red LEGO Bionicle guy: "cool." And who are we to argue? After all, when you ride through pits of molten lava while brandishing a sword of flames, "cool" may even be something of an understatement. According to the mythology of LEGO's Bionicle line, Tahu is the most temperamental and hotheaded of his tribe. But young builders should have no problem maintaining their composure thanks to solid LEGO construction, a clear graphic instruction manual, and Tahu's compatibility with other LEGO sets, particularly within the Bionicle line. --John Moe

Product Description

Master of the molten lava! Tahu Nuva dwells deep within the Mangai Volcano, venturing out to protect his people from the menacing forces that plague Mata Nui. His magma swords can be attached to his feet to make a lave surfboard, for lightning-fast travel down the sides of the volcano. Turn the wheel on his back to make his arms move!

This review is from: Lego Bionicle Toa Super Nuva Tahu (RED) #8572 (Toy)

Well , well well , its about time the toa got a makeover...and this ones PERFECT! After Desending into the bohroks nest , the toa used the Krana collected to unlock the Exo Toa , unfortunalty , then they met Cahdok and Gahdok , the Bahrag , Queens of the Bohrok swarms . THe toa then sealed them in a wire frame of energy , but that only caused them to fall into tubes of Protodermis , causing them to change into the TOA NUVA! I have all six kits , and they are wondrrful! Tahu Nuav is nicely done , the Hau Nuva looks very organinc and smooth , and the new fires swords are sleek silver/gray , and the new armor really looks nice on the toa . THe only downsides are that some kits have misorint armor that look lighter and plaer than they shhould (LIKE MY POOR ONUA NUVA AND HIS BLADES AND PADS!AGH!) but that should ot stop you from buying this!

Also; BEWARE! A NEW VILLIAN IS COMING! ............................................THE BOHROK-KAL! THE BOHROK-KAL ARE COMING! SMARTER THAN THE FIRST SWARM , AND ONLY 6 EXIST! WILL THE TOA BE ABLE TO FEND OFF NEW < SMARTER, ADND MORE POWERFUL BOHROK!?!?! OR WILL THIS BEE SIX REASONS TO HIDE? FIND OUT THIS WINTER of 2003!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Toa Nuva review by a 13-year-old, July 14, 2003

Personally, I am a bionicle freak. When I saw the first bionicle set of the 6 original toa, i knew i would do pretty much anything to get them. (if you are wondering i am 13 years of age) Of course I ended up loving them and in time, I was bonkers for bionicle. For you parents who read this, you are probably thinking that these lego models are just another item that your child will want so badly, play with for a week or so, and never touch again. This is a completely different matter. These aren't your ordinary action figures, these are fun to build and to play with and you can use your imagination to make new things out of them any time you wish. Another plus is they do not brake easily. (if you've gone through the conflict of mommy-my-toy's-arm-broke-off) If your child loves to build things,has a remarkable immagination, and likes various colorful action heroes, (my apologies for those going through the power rangers phase) bionicle toa and toa nuva are worthy of the title, "must-have". Educational as well, your child will learn a few basics of simple machines and motors as well. Thank you for reading my review, I just hope my mother reads it.

This review is from: Lego Bionicle Toa Super Nuva Tahu (RED) #8572 (Toy)

i own all of the toa nuva except kopaka, they are a blast. i have made the toa kaita "akamai" nuva, which consists of tahu, pohatu, and onua. tahu is, in my opinion, the hottest action figure since the marvel legends human torch. educational because it teaches young children the construction of a "skeleton"and basic gear mechanics. durable because it can be put together and taken apart over and over again. fun because it can use parts built from the cyber-slam sets.

oop! lunch bell, g2g.

peace out
