Description

A character, not a scene

Bionicle sets work differently from classic brick sets. Instead of a setting with people in it, you build one creature with joints, armour pieces and a weapon. Mazeka is one of the characters from the 2008 range. That is why there are no minifigures, only a figure you can put into different poses. It appeals to children who want to play and to collectors who line Bionicle figures up on a shelf as display pieces. Posing it on a shelf is half the fun, and the joints keep it in place well.

Black and grey with a blue accent

The main colours are black, light bluish grey, dark bluish grey and blue. This gives a cool, technical look that suits the metallic-style armour parts. The blue adds targeted accents without breaking the dark mood. If you stand several figures from this period side by side, the muted tones tie them together nicely, and the greys combine well with other parts when you start building your own creatures and machines.

Few element types, many repeats

Of the 301 pieces, only 64 are different element types, so many parts appear several times, such as joints, connectors and pins. The building principle is typical for Bionicle, using ball joints and axles instead of ordinary stud connections. The build is demanding enough not to be dull yet still manageable for children who follow the instructions closely. Expect roughly an hour, depending on experience. Because so many parts repeat, the arms and legs go together quickly once you have found the rhythm.

Reusing the parts

The parts list on this page shows exactly which connectors, joints and armour pieces are included. Technic-style elements in particular are in demand for custom robots, creatures and moving models. The “What can I build?” tool shows which other sets you could assemble from the pieces you own, and you can search for missing items if the figure is no longer complete in its box.
