“Pohatu Nuva Phantoka is definitely a good set to buy. Not only can you shoot with the Midak Skyblasters, but you can spin both propellers. With 12 points of articulation, as well as all the functionality mentioned this is definitely an improvement from the past years. I... More would say that he is worth it, and you should go out and get him.”

“This latest version of Pohatu is by far the best yet. He has a cleverly designed mask that not only makes great use of the visor (unlike previous toa where it has been used merely as windscreens for the eyes) but closely resembles his toa mata mask, a tradition only reserved... More for Kopaka. His weapons cleverly change from a mode of transport to an element appropriate weapon, this gives the only drawback, no hands, although MOCing these is not an issue.”

The power of stone!

Using his massive propellers to fly through the sky or bash his enemies, Pohatu Nuva is as tough as they come. His Mask of Speed and shoulder-mounted Midak Skyblaster make him a devastating fighter.

Combine with 8946 Photok for more action in the air!
Midak Skyblaster really fires!
Pohatu Nuva stands 6½" (16.5cm) tall!
