BIONICLE: Difference between revisions

The Matoran and Hydruka of Mahri Nui came in small boxes. There were two Matoran and two Hydruka available. The titans were also packaged in a box. The sides of the boxes were decorated with the image of a rusted, metal frame. These titans also featured the first appearance of a mask with a removable axle, until then all axles of the masks were fixed in them. This year also marked the end of the BIONICLE Playsets, with [[8925 Barraki Deepsea Patrol]], [[8926 Toa Undersea Attack]] and [[8927 Toa Terrain Crawler]] being the last playsets released.

 

In spring 2008 the [[Phantoka]] and the Av-Matoran were introduced. The three Toa were armed with a [[Midak Skyblaster]], which could fire Midak Sky spheres, silver coloured [[8719 Zamor-Spheres|Zamor-Spheres]]. The first half of the year concentrated on battle in the skies, so the Toa, Makuta and Matoran had flying devices. The three Phantoka Makuta carried [[Tridax Pod]]s, which were orange transparent spheres which could "explode" by hitting the ground, releasing "''Shadow Leeches''", which could drain the light of a being. These Makuta were the first Makuta to have real Kanohi masks with a certain power instead of having normal faces. The Phantoka canister design is unique, it features a plastic box with a lid and a plastic frame representing rock columns which can be fitted on to the side. These canisters could not be stacked. The Titan sets all came in a box, one of them being [[8697 Toa Ignika]], the first set to have an Ignika included, although it was silver.

During summer 2008 the [[Mistika]] were released. This line again featured three Toa and three Makuta. The Toa were released with swamp armour because of the plot playing in a swamp. The Toa, as well as the Makuta, carried ''Nynrah Ghost Blasters'' with rubber projectiles in either lime green or silver. The Makuta were released as a mutated form of themselves, but they too wore Kanohi masks. The canisters of the six Mistika featured a lid with a Kanohi Ignika on the side. The Ignika had two sides: the one side was scarred and rough, the damage the Ignika received in time. The other side was smooth and without any scars, the appearance it had when it was created. The canisters had a notch in the bottom so they could be stacked.
