Eljay returns to reviewing, starting off 2003 with the reused, recolored, Bohrok-Kal!

To my mom, Bohrok-kal was synonymous with all Bionicles. Anytime she saw me playing with Bionicles, from 2003 to 2008 she would ask me if I was building a Bohrok-kal.
@cr1288 жыл бұрын
I like to think that the design of these sets went something like this: Lego Executives: Wow these Bionicle sets are selling so well! We need to make more of these! Bionicle Team: But the new sets and story aren't ready yet. Lego Executives: Well we need to release something. Why don't you guys just reuse an old design? Bionicle Team: Okay, the Bohrok were pretty popular, right? We'll just paint them silver, give them new shields, and add Kal to there names.

That's most likely what happened with the Bohrok-Kal and Toa Nuva *Lmfao*
@HemiDude10010 жыл бұрын
To be fair, the bohrok/ Bohrok-Kal are technically nothing more than mechs. The Krana are alive but the bohroks are just their suits of armor, so the silver doesnt sound bad for the kal.
@captainnutella678 жыл бұрын
To this day the Kal are my favorite villains. Sure, their character wasn't that amazing, but the fact that they just ran around Mata Nui and kicked all the Toa Nuva's shit in really appeals to me.

I like how the Krana don't match the Bohrok for a simple reason. The Krana are _seperate beings_. They're not supposed to match, as that would make them seem like they're part of the build and not a seperate creature controlling the armor (which is what the Krana are).

What I think those holes in the shells are is that those are the nose of the Bohrok since the Krana do breath, and it has a cool function as well, if you sumerge them underwater it’ll look as if they’re definitely diving.
@SlightlyOtaku9 жыл бұрын
Hmm, concerning the eye color, I don't find them to be a problem. Gahlok's blue and orange, Lehvak's green and red, and, to an extent, Pahrak's brown and dark green or complimentary on the color wheel. With Nuhvok's light green reminds of something you'd see with night vision, which is pretty perfect considering his color is black as the night (hehe). If anything, I consider Tahnok to be the black sheep. I'm not against its use of blue, but I think it's the least appropriate. Kohrak is just perfect.
@fredjones21708 жыл бұрын
I'll be honest, the holes in the headplate always drove me a bit crazy as well - I could never see them as anything other than eyes, try as I might. I see no problem with the Krana-Kal colors, though, let alone the eyes and teeth.

It's shortly after these guys came out that I left Bionicle, not due to the Bohrok-Kal but because I was getting older. But I thought it really sucked that we got a brand new villain squad that was just a reprint of the previous guys. Now all the previous Bohrok were identical to eachother except for colour and I'm pretty sure I had them all despite that. But 6 new ones that were the same as the last 6? Nah, couldn't justify it at all.
