Tahu Nuva Reviews
Eurobricks
“The Toa Nuva are my favorite Toa line, and I really like all of the six sets in it. Tahu especially is a neat set, having such a great color scheme and character design. It was nice to see this character reappear many times in the storyline and as sets, even though I am not... More too fond with his latter incarnations. But despite that, Tahu is indeed one of the iconic characters of Bionicle, and great enough to have four sets dedicated to him over a decade-long lifespan of Bionicle.”

“By combining pieces from Tahu Nuva with 8566 Onua Nuva and 8568 Pohatu Nuva, one can build Akamai Nuva. Turning a gear in Tahu Nuva's back causes him to swing his Magma Swords up and down. His Magma Swords can also be attached to his feet to act as a lavaboard.”
