    Looking back at this guy, the hands are most likely a reference to the rock type of "Igneous", which in-of-itself is a reference to the Fire Tribe of Glatorian setting up their HQ within a LITERAL active volcano.

    In 2009 I really wanted this set after I got my first Bionicle set, Mata Nui. I did get him in 2010 along with the Stars Rhakshi. He was probably my favorite Bionicle character, but I wish they gave him orange hands. I need to get him some new upper arm and leg pieces though because they’re loose. All in all, one of my favorite G1 sets that solidified my interest in constraction.

    When you do the overview can you show only both Glatorian together on screen, I think it would interesting to see how each tribe Glatorian would compare to one another.

  • @JayTohab
    @JayTohab 8 років тому +2

    It seems to me that 2009 mainly got the color schemes right in regards to its sets- the Agori, characters like Ackar, etc. mostly have hues that convey an appealing and bright overall palette. I can't really say that I like the rest of the choices made for them- especially the way the heads work. They make sense within the context of the story, I'm sure, but they're not very fun to use overall.

    @MistikaManiac 8 років тому +1

    Honestly, the build is super lackluster, and if it wasn't for the color scheme, I wouldn't like the set very much at all. That being said, just because of Ackar's color scheme, he is one of my favorite sets of the year. It just looks so good and stands out among those dark colors.

    • @breenotcheese746
      @breenotcheese746 4 роки тому +1

      They weren't available in tan. They're only in black and blue, and they don't make them in black anymore. They're the 3 long Technic pins.

      @deanthe3684 4 роки тому +2

      ​@@breenotcheese746 I was talking about the frictionless ones of those. They're in tan and light gray. They're real. They would function the same in that context.

      *+Phantom Dragon 1475* What's disgusting about the Metru colors? Even if you don't like the darker colors, I don't see why you'd consider them repulsive.
