This guy is huge! He is much bigger than his nuva version, and even still bigger than any $20 set out now. The limbs are all comparable in proportion for an imposing figure like this, and to be able to support the weight of his weapons. His weapon is nice and big, adding to the powerful look, and I love how the kept his mask very similar to his original mask, and how pieces in the back support his limbs. That is a nice feature being added to many bionicle titans. All in all, he is one very nice looking set!
To me, the choice is obvious. Takanuva, or Takua as he was for those first few years, has been one of the most endearing characters throughout the years of BIONICLE. He's been with us since the beginning, and I was excited to see earlier this year that he would return again in set form. But to have him be an excellent, well-built, fun set that (though much larger than the old Takanuva) is still the same Toa of Light we know and love? That seals the deal for me, without a doubt. At $30, he's not the biggest bargain on the market. But his pros far outweigh the minor cons, and I fully and completely endorse him.
