Hmm, not so sure where this 'Mask of Creation' thing is coming from.

I've spotted it mentioned a number of times in this discussion, but I sincerely don't get the logic behind it. Remember, this is most likely a rebooted universe, and the Mask of Creation barely got mentioned in the original BIONICLE story. There's absolutely no drive for LEGO to release such an oddly specific mask into their new story universe.

I think it is far more likely that this will be the rebooted Avohkii since that's an iconic image of the old BIONICLE. They brought back the Hau for Tahu for exactly that reason. Because the Hau is recognizable and appeals to older fans, whereas the Mask of Creation only ever got mentioned a handful of times. We didn't even get a description until the end of the storyline, in one of the final chapters Greg wrote. Just like Artahka and Karzahni, the mask was entirely Greg's creation to fill up a story. Why then would LEGO set designers see fit to hold the Mask of Creation up as the icon image for a line they're most likely hoping to sell by playing off of nostalgia?
