Tahu Master of Fire Reviews
Eurobricks
“Tahu is a defining character. But is he a defining set? He has the lowest amount of parts of the three $20 Toa, but don't let that put you off. He has a great design, that offers a grand amount of poseability and playability. There are a bunch of new and recolored parts to... More choose from, which are awesome within their own right, such as the fantastic new lava board swords. He is fun to build thanks to the new gearbox system, and personally, I feel he has one of the greatest designs of the new Toa. Of the three larger Toa, Tahu is the one I have enjoyed the most, and would in turn recommend the most.”

“The gearbox mechanism works like any other Master's, and the shoulder armor moves with the arms they're connected to. How the Golden Swords are stored on the back is remarkable; you can move them about in the gearbox and in no way will they get in each others' way. Bravo... More LEGO Designers for this amazing feat of assembly.”
