“This set, like the matoran Garan, is also very playable, but small. An matoran of 2006, Velika really have usable pieces and much pieces for a matoran, overall. This set includes a mask Komau from onewa and two earthshock drills from whenua, doing a well maded combination.... More The Velika legs and arms are short but are playable and this set is easy to play and have fun. Another feature is the color scheme. Overall Velika is cool to built (also easy to build) and play. I rate this set 5/5”

About Bionicle Matoran

The Matoran are the villagers of BIONICLE, small figures each with a mask and a tool, belonging to one of the six elemental tribes, fire, water, air, earth, stone and ice. The first ones came in 2001, and they were the people the Toa heroes were sent to protect. Several of them became heroes later in the story. Takua became Takanuva, the Toa of Light, in 2003, and in 2006 Jaller, Hahli, Kongu, Nuparu, Hewkii and Matoro were turned into the Toa Inika.

Matoran consists of 35 sets that ran from 2001 to 2008. As of today, 8546 Bionicle Power Pack is the most valuable Matoran set with an estimated new/sealed value of $188.
