“Onewa was released in 2001, as one of 6 Turaga. He was not necessarily my favorite, and there weren't many things I knew about him. The only ones I ever really learned about as a kid were Vakama, Nuju, and Nokama. I hadn't even read anything about him in a book as a turaga... More and the comics about him didn't really have him doing anything. However, now that I have him I find he's much better than he looks.”

“The Onewa set was released in 2001 as one of the six Turaga sets. A lever is present on Onewa's back, connected to his right arm, so lowering it causes him to lift his Stone Hammer. The arm is automatically lowered due to a rubber band connecting the lever to his neck.”
