Changes: BIONICLE Stars

Revision as of 01:48, 9 April 2018

The BIONICLE Stars is the group-name of the 2010 Winter sets. The sets were the last sets to be released for BIONICLE until the 2015 reboot. The sets are: Nektann (labeled simply as "Piraka"), a Rahkshi, a nameless Skrall, Tahu, Takanuva, and Gresh, making Tahu and Takanuva two of the 6 characters to be released 4 times, the most releases of any character.

Notes

In the commercial, it says "3 ancient heroes", even though Gresh, a rookie Glatorian, wasn't part of the original universe or storyline. The same applies with the Skrall.
The sets have similar builds to the 2008 Matoran and 2009 Agori. Despite this, they still are almost as tall as the original Toa Mata from 2001, although with much less bulk on the torsos.
- Most of the other characters are scaled down.
Although Mata Nui changed Tahu's armor back to his Toa Mata form, he still looks different because he was, and still is, wearing the Adaptive Armor given to him by Artakha.
This line is widely considered one of the worst BIONICLE lines by the fanbase, with many believing it was a weak ending to the storyline, and criticizing the simplicity of the sets comparable to the Matoran figures of 2008 and the Agori figures of 2009.
BIONICLE Stars is the only BIONICLE wave with sets that did not have some form of ranged weapon (2001's Matoran had Kanoka Throwing Disks and Pohatu had a stone ball, 2002 had launchable Krana, 2003 had Kohlii Balls, 2004 had launchers with Kanoka Disks, 2005 had Rohtuka Spinners, 2006 had Zamor Spheres, 2007 had Barraki squid and Cordak and Air Spheres, 2008 had Midak Spheres and Ghost Blasters, and 2009 had Thornax Fruit)

-Each individual set will contain a gold-colored piece as part of a promotion: if all of the sets are collected, the golden pieces could replace Tahu's armor.
