“Overall, Lego did a good job designing Tahu, even though his body design is a little boring. He is well worth the cost, and you won't be disappointed if you buy him. He may not bear much resemblance to his old self, but nonetheless he is undeniably Tahu.”

Brickipedia
“It contains Tahu in his adaptive armour form, with a Nynrah Ghostblaster, four jet rockets for speed, a rotating blade, and the Mask of Shielding. The mask has changed form, along with the rest of Tahu's armour, to become more aerodynamic. It is Tahu's third appearance in a... More set. He was shown combining with 8945 Solek for more power, though this was only to advertise the connection feature, and was not shown in the story. He is a Toa of Fire. The set is also included in K8688 BIONICLE Mistika Collection.”

“As the final "proper" incarnation of Tahu (the Bionicle STARS version is way too simplistic in parts and design by comparison) this version has it's ups and downs. The launcher weapon fires solidly and a good distance, and the tri-blade weapon works well enough, but his... More actual body structure is rather basic and feels uninspired.”
