User blog:Teammcb/Set Review: Mata Nui

Unfotunatley, I have no pictures because I am currently using a laptop in a hotel. Thus I did not bring Mata Nui so I can't take pictures. However, I am ready to make my opinion: Naturally, he was the first set I got, so I can't compare to other Glatorian Legends sets. However, I can tell you what I saw. His mask is a whole lot smaller than the one you got in the phantoka series. However, that one looked a little more... plastic. The new one looks shiny and fresh and just plain awsome. The body was interesting. It used the piece seen on makuta krika's body, when he has the Makuta body but no tridax pod. In replacment he has a new body piece. This peice is seen on Mata Nui, but it uses the standard inika body. It was actually very likable. The scarabax shield was awsome, but using the same peices as shoulder pads, not one of the greatest idea. It's going to look weird in the movie, seeing as he get's his sheild from click, but he already had the same pieces he needed to make the sheild on his shoulders. Like I said, weird. However, one of my favorite parts is the ankle guard. I know some people don't like them because they don't stay in place, but I think it's neccasary for certain poses. Also, watching preview five for the movie, with ackar VS straak, if you just look at ackar's ankl guards, it looks really cool, and makes him look strong in the legs. So yeah, lot's of new stuff. He's probably the best set for this half-year! (Besides, of course, the titans and vehicles.)
