=== Release History ===

In early 2001 the [[Rahi]], creatures of the BIONICLE saga, were released. Each of them came in boxes and had a [[Kanohi]] mask, which could be removed. They usually came in pairs, although they were available in singular boxes too. The Rahi were able to rip off the mask of the other Rahi by using one of its attacks, [[8549 Tarakava]] by boxing with its long arms or [[8538 Muaka & Kane-Ra]] by launching their heads forward.

 

The then released [[Toa]], called [[Toa Mata/Toa Nuva|Toa Mata]], were larger, with gear-movement and big weapons. The main feature introduced in this year were the [[Kanohi|Masks]], which granted special abilities to the Toa, such as water-breathing or extra strength. The masks were collectible, having various colours and forms. In special mask packs there were golden and silver masks included. The Kanohi masks were only attached with a knob to their actual face, making them easy to take off. This way, the Toa could battle other Toa or Rahi, the aim would be to hit the mask off the opponent. The canister lids of the Toa Mata had axle holes to stick in axles, which in turns hold the Toa faces with their totem of six different masks of one form.

 

In 2002 the ''[[Toa Nuva]]'', transformed forms of the Toa Mata, were introduced. They included silver armour and larger, more smooth masks. They wielded silver modifications of their former weapons, for example [[8533 Gali|Toa Mata Gali's]] hooks transformed into water axes. Their canister lids had new designs and could be stacked. The lids also had axle holes in the lid, similar to the 2001 lids.
