“Overall, there are more things I like on Raanu than things I do not like. He has not disappointed me at all, and if you are planning to get an Agori, he is worth consideration. Go out and buy Raanu if you have the extra dough to spend, you won't regret it, even at their... More current price point! As far as looks, he is one of the most aesthetically pleasing small sets so far this year next to Metus, Zesk and Tarduk.”

“Raanu is the wise leader of Vulcanus. His shield is better than Berix's and Metus'. He has a fire sword that he holds in his right hand. His village's Glatorian is Ackar, as Malum was exiled for crimes in the arenas. Vulcanus has it's own arena that is used regularly.”

About Bionicle Agori

The Agori theme is based on the Agori, villagers on Spherus Magna. There are eight types of Agori: the Fire Tribe, Water Tribe, Ice Tribe, Jungle Tribe, Rock Tribe, Iron Tribe, Earth Tribe, and Sand Tribe. The Agori are very similar to Matoran and the Great Beings modeled Matoran after Agori.
