“He is much bigger than his nuva version, and even still bigger than any $20 set out now. The limbs are all comparable in proportion for an imposing figure like this, and to be able to support the weight of his weapons. His weapon is nice and big, adding to the powerful look,... More and I love how the kept his mask very similar to his original mask, and how pieces in the back support his limbs. That is a nice feature being added to many bionicle titans. All in all, he is one very nice looking set!”

“Takanuva, or Takua as he was for those first few years, has been one of the most endearing characters throughout the years of BIONICLE. He's been with us since the beginning, and I was excited to see earlier this year that he would return again in set form. But to have him... More be an excellent, well-built, fun set that (though much larger than the old Takanuva) is still the same Toa of Light we know and love? That seals the deal for me, without a doubt. At $30, he's not the biggest bargain on the market. But his pros far outweigh the minor cons, and I fully and completely endorse him.”

“It contains Takanuva in his partly light-drained form after reaching Karda Nui, with a Midak Skyblaster, a Power Lance, and the altered Mask of Light. Takanuva is the Toa of Light. He can fire beams of light, banish darkness, create blinding flares and create holographic... More projections.”
