LEGO® Protector of Ice

Description

Cold colours, quick build

This is one of the smaller Bionicle figures of 2015, and the colour scheme tells you its element straight away. Trans-light blue, black, dark bluish grey and white give it a frosty look that stands out on a shelf. Because there are only 62 pieces, you will not need a whole weekend. It is the kind of set you can build in a single sitting and then pose, which suits anyone who wants a figure with character rather than a long, demanding project.

Lots of different pieces

Out of 62 pieces, 34 are different parts, which is a high ratio for such a small set. Bionicle has always relied on specialised joints, armour plates and weapon pieces rather than standard bricks, and this figure is no exception. That makes the parts list on this page worth a look. Many of these elements rarely turn up in ordinary brick sets, so they are handy for your own creatures, robots or mechs if you already own a decent pile of loose bricks.

Display it or take it apart

The figure is flexible enough to pose and small enough to sit on a crowded shelf. If you own other Protectors figures, each one in its own element colour looks like part of a larger collection. If you prefer rebuilding sets once they are done, the What can I build? tool on this site shows which other models your collection allows. The icy blues and whites also work as accents in winter scenes or for creatures with a cool, frozen look.

Who it suits

Protector of Ice suits collectors who like Bionicle from around 2015, and builders who enjoy small figures made of many unusual parts. For newcomers the model is easy enough to manage thanks to the modest piece count, yet you still end up with a figure that has movable arms and legs rather than a static block on the shelf. If you line up several Protectors side by side, the elements are told apart at a glance by their colours, and that is exactly what makes the range appealing.
