“I would say buy this set if you like black, glow in the dark weapons, a coolish mask, you want a counterpart for a black canister set or if you missed out on the Av-Matoran and Atakus catches your eye.”

“This set is better than I thought it would be. The Skrall blades are very sensitive to low light, and glow. The other pieces, except the head and helmet, are not very interesting. The helmet has fangs and like Skrall, is very long.The head is the same as almost all 2009... More sets, except I like this type. I enjoy posing him and make him look like he is parring his blades.”

About Bionicle Agori

The Agori theme is based on the Agori, villagers on Spherus Magna.

The Agori are very similar to Matoran and the Great Beings modeled Matoran after Agori. Agori are also fully organic when they come into being, and would choose whether to receive biomechanical implants, and most usually do.

Agori was introduced in 2009 and currently consists of 6 sets. As of today, 8973 Raanu is the most valuable Agori set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $105.
