“The model is about the average height of the other Toa Metru. Matau also has a similar build to the other Toa Metru. It has three exclusive parts. Part 47311 in Dark Green, Part 49423 in Dark Green, and Part 47313 in Transparent Red. It includes a Kanoka card with a code for... More a BIONICLE instant win game. It also comes with the final instructions for a combo model with 8601 Toa Vakama and 8604 Toa Onewa to make Kralhi. The instructions also include a map of Metru Nui. Also is explained how combining two canister lids a Matoran Sphere could be created. The model has two removable aero-slicers that double as wings.”

“By turning a knob in Matau's back, his Aero Slicers will swing up and down. The Aero Slicers could also attach to pins on Matau's back either for use as glider wings or for storage. The lid of Toa Matau's canister can be attached to the lid of another Toa Metru set's... More canister to form a Matoran Sphere.”
