Description

A creature made of parts

Takadox belongs to the Bionicle line, where figures are made from joints, rods and armour pieces. The set came out in 2007 and has 62 pieces. There are no minifigures, because the model is the main character. As is usual with Bionicle, you do not build a house but a poseable creature that you can place in different stances. The parts list on this page shows every element with quantity and colour and helps you compare with a second-hand copy.

Translucent accents

Beside black, red and dark blue, the translucent medium blue stands out. Clear parts like this often sit on eyes, energy effects or weapons and give the figure a glowing point. The mix with the dark tones is high in contrast and suits a creature meant to look menacing rather than friendly. If you sort figures by colour, this is a good example of matt and glossy parts working together. It also keeps the figure interesting to look at.

24 types among 62 pieces

A count of 24 different part types shows that many pieces appear only once or twice. That is typical for Bionicle figures, whose shape comes from special elements such as curved armour, joint balls and connectors. The build is still manageable, since the instructions are short and the figure grows step by step from the inside out. For newcomers to the line, this is a good way to learn how the construction works.

Building on

The parts also suit your own creatures and robots. With “What can I build?” you can see which models your bricks make possible, and if pieces are missing, the list helps you search for them directly. Translucent parts in particular are sought after, because they serve for eyes, light effects and small details. If you miss them on a used figure, the part numbers lead you to matching replacements and let you make the model complete again.
