Description

How a Bionicle figure works

Bionicle figures are not built from classic bricks but from joints, rods and armour plates that snap together into a creature. Carapar is one of the small ones: 50 pieces, no minifigures, but 22 different elements. That is a lot of variety for the size, and it is where the appeal lies. You fit limbs, claws and armour together until a poseable character stands in front of you. The instructions are clear enough for older children who have some building experience already.

Orange on a dark base

The colours stand out. A bright light orange provides the accents, set against dark bluish grey, black and a pearl light grey that looks almost metallic. The dark shades form the body of the figure while the orange highlights armour and details, so Carapar reads clearly on a shelf despite its small size. Collectors after pearl grey only get a small amount here, but the mix of matte and shiny surfaces gives the figure its character.

Display or play

The movable joints let you set Carapar in many poses, which suits both a display cabinet and the playroom floor. He is sturdy enough to survive battles against other Bionicle figures. If you own several 2007 figures you can line them up and act out scenes. With so few pieces, the set also makes a handy gift or a cheap way into the theme if you simply want to see how the building system works.

Parts and rebuilds

The parts list on this page shows all 22 different elements with their colours, so you can quickly check whether a second-hand figure is missing anything. The “What can I build?” tool tells you which further figures or custom creatures your collection could make once Carapar is added. Joints and armour pieces fit many other Bionicle sets, which leaves plenty of room for creatures of your own. Swap arms, legs and claws between figures and you can invent entirely new characters.
