Review brought to you by BrickEconomy Bot

“Kalmah is one of the six Barraki. He is red in colour and has three blue eyes. He has two tentacles attached to one hand and a Squid Launcher in the other. The set also comes with two Sea Squids that can be attached to two holders on his back, despite the box showing them at... More the top of his arm, but below the shoulders. In the BIONICLE universe, he lost his third eye to Pridak. He also discovered the vampire Squid. Some images of him have dark red Hordika feet, although he has upgraded versions instead.”

“Kalmah is a visually striking set with a balanced dark red and black color scheme, accented by vibrant orange tentacles. The squid motif is well-executed with unique pieces like the squid launcher and flexible tentacles, adding playability and detail. While the set introduces some fantastic new molds, including the squid, pincers, and armor pieces, the simple Piraka-style build feels a bit dated, and the bright orange tentacles clash slightly with the overall design.”

After a lengthy ordeal with the Toa Mahri, the Mask of Life was used to revive Mata Nui, with the Barraki failing to fulfill their mission.

Cunning and brutal, Kalmah strikes fear into the hearts of the fiercest sea beasts. His tentacle can crush his foes, or he can use his sea squid launcher to drain their life force. The tentacles on the back of his head help him to sense surprise attacks before they happen. Commanding an army of giant squid, Kalmah may be impossible to stop!
