I look forward to it too, so long as we keep it friendly.:)

6: Actually, I only just got into Bionicle in 2014, and I was still creeped out by Onua Mata. IDK way, he just felt more like a creature to me. Also, I forgot to mention his character video (the one with him digging) creeped me the heck out as well. I guess it was because I never conquered my fear of the dark.

5: I didn't notice those pegs (I had just woken up when I typed this), so I'll give her that. However, I still don't like her mask all that much, it just doesn't look too good to me.

4: True, true. IMO, the sword was not the best, however I didn't hate it. But I agree full on about the shield (never noticed the snow flake like pattern before your comment). Seriosuly, what happens if he's fighting someone like Makuta? "Oh hey, just hit my shield in the center, okay?"

3: Oh yeah, THAT was creepy. I also did not know about the arms (I said before I never got these, so yeah), but the way you've described them, I feel inclined to agree. Also, love the joke. :P

2: Again, I only got into Bionicle in 2014, so I don't exactly see what everyone else sees. Also, I agree about the overrated part, however that parts not in the set.:P

1: Didn't know about the arms, but I'll take your word for it.:P

And OMG YES! THAT BUGGED ME SO MUCH! Those Feet Additions were cool, but what the heck was he supposed to do if his mask was knocked off as well as the FAs, and is in a location with no stone? Join the Toa of Dead Silence, of course.:P

The same goes for his Climbing Claws and his propellors (they were cool, but without them he's dead). Now, however, he actually has weapons that can go on his feet, but also be held in his hands.

You can't hate Pohatu. It is a fact.:P

Also, I don't dislike the Toa Mata. They have their pros and their cons, just like everything. I would've liked to see more posability, however the reason that wasn't a con was because it was 2001. Constraction was new to LEGO, I doubt they figured a way to give them articulation that early on.

Also, I agree with everything else you said, especially that they're a good way to start off an amazing theme.
