“He is one of the six Toa Mahri. He comes with the Mask of Stealth, a shield, and a Cordak Blaster. This is Nuparu's third appearance in a set. In the BIONICLE Universe, he is a Toa of Earth.”

Brickset
“This figure, along with the rest of the Toa Mahri, came packaged in something a little different from most Bionicle Toa. The canister is just a plastic shell with some cardboard and plastic inside. This set has some cool parts, like Nuparu's mask, face, and his shield. The... More Cordak blaster is also fun.”
