“He is one of the three Matoran of Light released as sets. It contains Tanma with his jetpack and power swords. He also has the ability to connect to 8686 Toa Lewa.”

BZPower
“His size is problematic relating to everyone but the Phantoka, but in and of himself he looks great, both in build and colors. There's something spunky about him, I've always thought. In fact, in many ways he embodies what I loved about the original Toa, only made in the... More modern Bionicle style.”
