Poll said Bionicle won Lego: Hey, we're gonna celebrate *EVERYONE* Tahu must have a huge backpain tho, carrying the whole set awareness and popularity.
I mean, in fairness, this isn't the "big 90th Anniversary set" LEGO promised. This is just a fun side thing, and we won't really know what won the vote until they announce that set. But I totally agree, Tahu is definitely one of the best parts of this entire set and is absolutely one of the biggest reasons a lot of people bought it, myself included!
@@Versere The rumor mill says that Castle probably won the big vote. Which I honestly have issues with, not because of me being a nostalgia obsessed bonkle stan, but because Castle fans are already a bit spoiled, Classic Space probably would have been a nicer option, these guys need a bone thrown to them :c
While not much, some of the Lego Movie stuff was at the very least Classic Space-styled, and there was one set with a few different colored spacesuits. Castle is disappointing to me because it’s easily the most generic, like Pirates. Apart from the unique emblems for each faction, castles and pirate ships (being based on well-known real-life things) don’t really have their own unique aesthetic in the way that the sci-fi Lego themes did.
@@Versere I voted for BIONICLE both rounds and wrote an essay about the many interlocking reasons why I voted so. I also remember my other two votes were for Trains because we need more steam locomotive builds or to revive the theme outside of City, (however nice the recent Olton Hall/Hogwarts Castle builds become over time), and Dragon Knights because I felt that was a nice happy medium betwixt Kingdoms & Classic Castle and Fantasy Era (plus I don't recall Vikings being on the list for contention, a pity because that was always a cool Castle-type theme) - just in case some particular types are still saying _all_ the BIONICLE fans only voted for the one theme
@@jaredhebert942 Yeah, really don't get this stereotype. We're cultish but not THAT cultish. I voted for Paradisa along with bonkles cause I dig the vaporwarve aesthetic ffs.
Hearing you talk about the bionicle community was heart warming. The funny thing is that it reminded me that as a kid while bionicle was running and long after, I've never once ran into another bionicle fan in person lol
Personally I would rather have had something using mixel joints but I like that you can make all the different characters fairly simply using this build style
2:09 Tahu Stars looks like he's been through a war or twenty. I don't know what exactly makes him give off that energy, but he FEELS like he's been through a lot and barely came out alive. Meanwhile Tiny Tahu looks like a kid next to his grandpa.
I need a teddy bear sized plushie version of tiny Tahu. Actually, I think Lego really should make plushies of googly Tahu. I feel like they'd print money.
I kinda feel this is more of a way for us Bionicle fans to keep telling the story of time before time once more to our children. Yeah sure I'd love a Bionicle gen 3 (or 4 if you want to consider this gen 3) but at the same time this feels something Lego should do with the brand and left the lore to others.
The music around the 4:00 minute mark really made me happy :) great review. Reminded me again of why bionicle is so special. The g1 era was something truly incredible. Mini Tahu is the perfect symbol for the theme.
After seeing the fan-made commercial of this guy made by Eric, I’ve switched to the angry eyes and changed his hands to red robot claws for wrist swivels. And despite some of the hang ups I still have about him...I still love this little Mini Tahu. Especially with how the community memed him and actually started mocing other Bionicle characters in his style.
OK. Who starts a UA-cam channel with a video so simultaneously heartfelt and polished as this? Dude comes out the gate with a banger! Great photos, excellently thoughtful writing, sincere and uplifting. Nice work!
I didn’t pay attention to this whole set or series of events surrounding this Tahu’s existence until now because he was so simply built that I didn’t realize it was Tahu and never dove into the whole thing
I gotta admit, when I first saw this set, I was real mad about it, feeling like it was a suckerpunch after losing to castle. But look at that face, you can't stay mad at that.
Never really grew with bioncle but always wanted to do stuff with them and Hero factory-I'm not connected but damn, somehow I was almost crying at the end due to how cheerful yet sad it sounded
I would like to see theme make poly bags in this style. they would be the only Polly bags, and make them a little pack in with purchases ate lego stores or lego shop at home.
Hey lego! We love it! Give us more! Maybe a flaming castle like the home of the fire matoran he first wrnt to when he woke up. Actually I wouldn't mind them trying system sets again in this style. But now from any part of the series!
hes pretty sweet. only thing can be done to make him better. slope and plate that makes feet. tu use 2 3x1 plates and 2 1x1 slopes, feet are apart from each other just like legs
you were actually able to take apart mata nui without breaking him? seriously there was a design flaw on all bionicles of that era where they made the connectors for the ball joints so thin they easily broke
Wow, really? I just receive yesterday a compelte set of Toa Mata that I wanted since I was a child, and I don't follow what happened to bionicle these years. What a coincidence
So the plan is we appear to be happy and make a big deal about this small build that maybe lego notices and brings back bionicle as a whole Watch it backfire and it never happens again
Now. I am a fan through and through. While this isnt my favorite way of bionicle. It still shows that Lego still knows that Bionicle fans are still around and will always be around. Bionicle was one of the greatest things my younger mind has been exposed to, from the characters, toys, lore, and fans. It is amazing and will always be. Now if lego makes more bionicle. I will surely buy it
Kind of. I made the channel with the intent of doing a lot of reviews like this one, but never really had time until I decided to work on this one. More to come in the future, hopefully!
I think it speaks volumes that in the store page for this set one of the key points advertised is that Tahu is back
Definitely! It's pretty clear that LEGO knows how much of a big deal this is, which makes me love it even more!
It's absolutely glorious!
Bionicle has an LGBT problem with too many discord groomers

He's so small and tiny he's adorable.
He may not be what we wanted, but he's just what we needed in such a dark time.
Though I may not have a single Bionicle set as of yet, I can still tell that this is clearly peak Binokle toy.
There is no doubt in my mind about it. Truly LEGO's magnum opus.

Y'know, if Bionicle were to have a third generation, these miniature Toa like this Mini-Tahu would make good pack-in bonuses for the main sets.
The new Bonkle heroes; the Toa Skrungle:
Tar
Kopku
Gal
Potate
Lee
Ono
And the legendary 7th Toa of Light: Tanvu
The best part was twitter going to the 7 stages of grief in one hour when we knew about this little fella and proceeded to love

This is the way of the Bionicle
Hearing you talk about the bionicle community was heart warming. The funny thing is that it reminded me that as a kid while bionicle was running and long after, I've never once ran into another bionicle fan in person lol
Scrunkle means something ugly/weird but cute in it's own way.
Thanks for explaining! It's a very weird term, but at least I know what it means now!
Such a skrunkly boinkle
Such a Scroingly Bingus
He so scrunkle :)
I love him so much.... he's such a friend
Honestly, of all the things to be called "friend-shaped," I don't think anything has embodied that as much as him.
I love how when tahu was first released, there was a lot of hate. But slowly people fell in love with him, me included.
Personally I would rather have had something using mixel joints but I like that you can make all the different characters fairly simply using this build style
I really expected bionicle fans to be bitter and resentful about mini Tahu, but it's really warmed my heart to see everyone accept him lovingly.
initially a lot were but then we just loved him for who he is
2:09 Tahu Stars looks like he's been through a war or twenty. I don't know what exactly makes him give off that energy, but he FEELS like he's been through a lot and barely came out alive. Meanwhile Tiny Tahu looks like a kid next to his grandpa.
Bionicle Toa always did a lot of evolving throughout the franchise, so to see a new version of Tahu feels very fitting
the fact he has more piece count than tahu stars really speak a lot
As a Mata Nui era fan this build makes me so happy. I need to get pieces to one.
i put this in my watch later and brought my tahu to watch it with me while i ate lunch. thank you
I need a teddy bear sized plushie version of tiny Tahu. Actually, I think Lego really should make plushies of googly Tahu. I feel like they'd print money.

I almost want to make the whole brick built Toa Mata team in this style! Haha
Also, RIP Tahu Stars…
I was not expecting so much emotion and passion. I am subbed now.
Ahh the classic Bionicle probably my favorite theme from Lego sadly it ended then brought back then ended, still Lego remembers Bionicle.
What a fantastic video. Hope to see you make more!
Thank you! I definitely have plans for more videos like this soon!

This tiny dude is the embodiment of the three virtues
I Bricklink’d him a few weeks ago, and I have no regrets
This is the first video on your channel? And it's already of this quality? Earned another subscriber, hopefully with many many more coming.
Thank you! I'm hoping to make a lot more too!
It's so silly, but I love it because of that fact. Thanks, Scrunkle Tahu!
emotional. cried all the way from beginning to end. 10/10.
Hopefully Bionicle comes back again
as a bionicle fan this is my favourite tahu. i love him.
Hey lego! We love it! Give us more!
Maybe a flaming castle like the home of the fire matoran he first wrnt to when he woke up.
Actually I wouldn't mind them trying system sets again in this style. But now from any part of the series!
Yes he's a cute and the design is pretty clever. But the only thing I truly feel seeing him is just immense sadness and depression
2:56 Average Bionicle fan
3:03 Average Bionicle enjoyer
3:10 Average Bionicle lore
From now I'll name him Bob. He looks weirdly adorable
You did a great job on this review, and I look forward to more from you in the future!
Sometimes it is okay to say goodbye to the past and enjoy what fans had.
Maybe if you guys are really lucky, they just might re-release some Bionacles. I really hope you guys can get some new sets lol -Hero factory nerd
That would be incredible! Hopefully the same could happen for Hero Factory, that series was great too!
This tahu looks pretty cute.
The most Bonkle of all time.
We need your review on the new Bionicle set!
This video is the first I've heard of the rest of the set!
Great video, not a big bionicle fan, but i love this guy, he's great.
I only hope the best for your channel
oh this is your first video, holy shit you’ve earned a sub
its also possible we could get a mixel ball joint bionicle tribute for legos 100 years
I am still waiting for the set to be shipped to me
As well as the tall neck
Oh nice, good luck! I hope you enjoy them when they finally arrive!
@@Versere update I now have them
this was so good and in depth review
Almost had me crying at the end
"Skrunkle Tahu"
I don't know that this was invented by Tumblr users

But I know.
We need more of them
I love your modded gen 2 tahu being someone who came into bionicle on the reboot i would love to see a video about him
"Bonkle Tahu"
and i thought people considered that joke lame
Also. Amazing work here with this video.
The destiny child, 3rd gen Tahu
HAIL SCRUNKLE TAHU!!!
lego. lego listen to me. make all of the toa mata like this this is what we need
Mini tahu is the peak of humanity
Skrunkle is a similar word to scrunkly captioned on cite things as a meme, impliing that mini tahu is cute
Hes called thu the cursed toha of fire
Hey, great video! Got my sub! :) Can’t wait to see what’s next from you!
Thank you so much!
How gonna see the good guy bionicle
G-3 looks beautiful
THE BLOCKMAN COMETH!
Mini Tahu is the tribute Bionicle deserved. I hope they make more toa in this style as a part of later commemorative sets.
hes pretty sweet. only thing can be done to make him better. slope and plate that makes feet. tu use 2 3x1 plates and 2 1x1 slopes, feet are apart from each other just like legs
This.... this is peak Bonkles.
you were actually able to take apart mata nui without breaking him? seriously there was a design flaw on all bionicles of that era where they made the connectors for the ball joints so thin they easily broke
Oh believe me, Mata Nui broke PLENTY, just never quite enough to keep me from continuing to take him apart and rebuild him.
Hopefully LEGO heard our voice since money is vote
❤️❤️ Scrunkle Tahu ❤️❤️❤️
wow! that was a great video- and this is your only video on the channel?? your editing is great i hope you consider making more lego vids!
Thank you so much! I'm definitely planning on making more videos, though not all of them will be LEGO-related!
Wow, really? I just receive yesterday a compelte set of Toa Mata that I wanted since I was a child, and I don't follow what happened to bionicle these years. What a coincidence

Watch it backfire and it never happens again
Pleas tell me they sold a mini mixle
Yes,Mini Tahu.
He also has the name of thu
I like to call him Goofy Gumby Tahu. Or just Gumby Tahu.
skrunkle tahu the baby :D
Googly Tahu for me
