  • @streak1burntrubber
    @streak1burntrubber 8 років тому +124

    I would argue that his story makes up for the differences from his original set. In the story, in this form, he controls both light and shadow, which would make up for the gun metal instead of the gold. It was also explained that while his set size is larger, his story size isn't, so he isn't really a titan.
    If you are going to compare the previous versions of him, you should take story into account. After all, without the story, these are just two unrelated Lego creations.

    • @EljayJohnsen
      @EljayJohnsen 8 років тому +13

      +streak1burntrubber I compared them as a courtesy. The story has no affect on the sets and whether or not they are good.

    • @Wolf99555
      @Wolf99555 8 років тому +8

      +TTV Eljay i disagree, as a kid and even now i'd always want the sets based on characters i liked much more than the ones of characters i didn't like. If the set was really amazing then yeah it wouldn't always matter, but it definitely has an effect. (and do you honestly think the designer's thought process behind this set in particular wasn't "make a bigger darker takanuva"?)

    • @EljayJohnsen
      @EljayJohnsen 8 років тому +23

      +Wolf99555 No, I think it was to make a Shadow Toa version of Ahkmou. I'm not kidding, either. That was the original idea, but it didn't happen. You see, I'm not saying story explanations for things don't have an affect on people, I'm saying that they don't change the set. If in the story, Hewkii Mahri got his hand chopped off and that's why he had no hand in the set, then that wouldn't suddenly make that lack of hand good. It just means there's a story reason for it. It's still bad, we just know what the story explanation is.
      I love the story, and I love the sets. But I do understand that no matter the story explanation for something, if it's still a bad thing that people didn't like, then it's still bad. Honestly, I really like Takanuva, however I know a lot - I mean a lot - of people would have preferred it if he had been closer to his original form, like how they wanted the same for the Phantoka and Mistika.

    • @legoroan9866
      @legoroan9866 6 років тому +8

      Eljay Johnsen I don't want to argue but he's right, shadow ahkmou was cancelled very early on, the designer and Greg probably thought shadow takanuva was cool (can you blame them?)

    • @Lupinemancer87
      @Lupinemancer87 6 років тому +15

      Actually, his size does change a bit, due to being in Karda Nui, which has this effect of Av-Matoran. And since Takanuva was an Av-Matoran, he too gets slightly taller. But it's not by much.

  • @GhabulousGhoti
    @GhabulousGhoti 8 років тому +127

    He is a decent titan.
    I recall Greg or someone saying that at one point in time, Ahkmou was going to be transformed into a Toa of Shadow and get a titan release in 2008, and I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to say that this is the result of those plans.

    • @KingChiggy
      @KingChiggy 8 років тому +5

      +Meir Teichman I agree. This was probably my favorite set along with Vezon since the original Takanuva. It looks so good to me, and it was awesome that they actually put some effort into one of the toa that came out that year (compared to the other 7, who all were really terrible to me). I felt like this set was one of the last Hurrahs of the series.

    • @KaltatheNobleMind
      @KaltatheNobleMind 8 років тому

      KingChiggy coudnt agree more:) going through the recap reviews it seems like the titans and the bigger sets were just the deisgners going all out with their product:D
      for one this giant takanuva looks just that: a giant toa! they nailed the humanoid shape solid and maaged to keep the key elements in place as well:D like how the gunmetal armor is placed the same way Inika-builds keep their armor:) on the upper limb of each appendage:D
      and i just realized maxilose had the prototype of shoulder articulation and $50 says the build-designers worked with the element-designers to get that av-toran limb made to act as the perfect shoulderblade.

    One thing to counter the aesthetic inconsistency, is that all the gunmetal is generally consistent: smooth armor plating. That is plated on top of the less consistent, but generally more Technic-ey white.

    I remember the day I got this set! Takanuva (2008) was one of my favorite sets! I would attach his power lance to his midak skylblaster and put it all on his back like a jetpack to make him fly. And his feet are the best bionicle feet I've ever seen.

    Still a good set. Even though my instructions were screwy; the body only went up to step 3, then skipped to the legs, which were looped twice, then one of the arms, which was looped twice. Had to figure out the body by looking at the side images of it in the leg part of the instructions, built him perfectly, then realized I could have gone online and gotten the instructions. Oh well.

    This set is Huge! And is generally regarded as the design inspiration of Toa Mata Nui. That probably says it all. But similar to Toa Mata Nui, I like this set. It’s huge and has a very cool tinged by darkness effect on a character mainly associated with light. The shift in his element makes it a very interesting set and I like the new Avohkii for that reason. I like the evil look to it as it appears that yes Takanuva is being controlled by some form of evil. Apart from that, the new Power Lance is cool and it’s a solid Titan to a certain extent.

    I'd have considered the set worthwhile if they'd have included the armor and mask pieces in gold as well, like how they included extra parts in several of the other larger piece sets. They even went to the trouble of showing him purified in the comics, so it wasn't like they didn't have the designs laid out already...

      The Kanohi Dragon was an entry for a fan-made Rahi competition that was made canon (I actually have the book that encompassed all Rahi as of 2004, including the fan interpretations of Rahi that were canonized)--but it was never a set. The Kardas Dragon on the other hand...that was a combination set Lego released. Perhaps you have mistaken the two?

    I know that LJ and plenty of fans had a issues with Blue and Red Pins. But keep this in mind. I actually grew up with these and see them just Axel and pins for the sets to built. More fundly than Original Colors. And the reason why is mostly some kids had trouble which pins or axels type whicl building, or lost for some, or something else and this is reason why it's changed. At least...it's my theory.

I really wish it resemble the original much more with changes as well. I've seen MOCs of this with the original mask just painted gunmetal black and it looks so much better!
