Brickipedia
“He is a Toa Hordika. He has two Fang Blades as weapons and a Rhotuka Spinner with a Launcher on his back. In the BIONICLE universe, he was the Toa Metru of Air, but later was mutated into a Toa Hordika. He eventually became a Turaga. Pulling the ripcord out of the launcher... More quickly will launch the spinner.”

“This set is great and it comes with 2 Rhotuka Spinners. I really recommended this set. The six Toa Metru returned to the city of Metru Nui, intending to save the sleeping Matoran and bring them to their new home. Ambushed by Visorak spiders, the Toa Metru are mutated into... More Hordika ... half Toa, half beast! Can they overcome their new enemies and their own bestial natures in time to rescue the Matoran?”

“Matau wears a dark green mutated Great Kanohi Mahiki. The set also includes two silver Rhotuka spinners, one of which is marked with a Kanoka Code. By combining parts of Toa Hordika Matau with 8736 Toa Hordika Vakama and 8738 Toa Hordika Whenua, one can create the... More Protocairn; Matau and 8739 Toa Hordika Onewa can also be combined to create the Rock Raptor.”

About Bionicle Toa Hordika

The Toa Metru were BIONICLE heroes that were briefly mutated into half-beasts called Toa Hordika in the second half of the arc. The six Toa Metru were Vakama, Nokama, Matau, Onewa, Whenua, and Nuju. Initially Toa Metru had Toa powers such as strong control over their element, personal tools used mainly for directing their elemental power, and a Kanohi Mask granting an additional ability but due to their inexperience their powers were not completely developed.

Toa Hordika was introduced in 2005 and currently consists of 6 sets. As of today, 8736 Toa Hordika Vakama is the most valuable Toa Hordika set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $146.
Summary
Bionicle Toa Hordika Toa Hordika Matau set 8740 was released in January 2005, retailing for $9, but has since been retired. New, unopened Toa Hordika Matau sets are valued at $87, while used sets can be found for $11.
