Description

Two characters, one box

The name says it all: you get a pair of opponents who can be posed against each other as soon as they are built. Both belong to the Bionicle line, which was relaunched in 2015 with masks, weapons and jointed figures at its heart. There are no minifigures here, because each character is assembled from ball joints, armour plates and Bionicle-style limbs. If you only know the line from older sets, building these shows how different a buildable figure feels compared with a house or a vehicle.

A dark palette with a blue accent

Black and dark bluish grey set the tone, with flat silver for weapons and trim and trans light blue picking out energy effects and eyes. The result is high contrast and sits well on a shelf beside other moody sets. With 67 unique elements across 171 pieces, plenty of parts appear several times, such as joints and armour plates. That keeps the parts list on this page easy to scan if you want to track down a specific colour or replace something missing.

How it builds and plays

The build is short enough for one afternoon but still asks for some attention, since joints and armour need to go on in the right order. Afterwards the figures are fully poseable and hold a fighting stance without constantly falling apart. They work as toys for duels or as display pieces in a cabinet of Bionicle sets. The compact size saves space, and the Mask Maker's mask is the eye-catcher you spot from the front straight away.

Reusing the pieces

Bionicle parts are popular with custom builders because ball joints, axles and armour plates slot easily into creatures of your own design. Once you have built the set, the “What can I build?” tool on this page can point you to ideas that fit your collection. The parts list also shows exactly which colours and shapes are included, handy if you need a replacement or are hunting for elements for a project of your own.
