Toa Tahu

As the final "proper" incarnation of Tahu (the Bionicle STARS version is way too simplistic in parts and design by comparison) this version has it's ups and downs. The launcher weapon fires solidly and a good distance, and the tri-blade weapon works well enough, but his actual body structure is rather basic and feels uninspired. He has no armor piece for his torso, and the jet engine pieces on his hips and shoulders move around too easily and look sloppy as a result when posed or played with. The Mask of Shielding redesign is the least elegant and interesting of all the versions he's had, topping it all off as a rather disappointing combination that makes up his design. It's well enough to pose and play with, but it's the least interesting version of him really, the only aspect of interest at all being the new build components that make him up. more less

Overall, Lego did a good job designing Tahu, even though his body design is a little boring. He is well worth the cost, and you won't be disappointed if you buy him. He may not bear much resemblance to his old self, but nonetheless he is undeniably Tahu. more less
