LEGO® Bionicle 2007 Toa Mahri | Review

[@Just_A_Human15]

In his last moments, Matoro feels no fear. He know he has succeeded--the Toa Mahri are safe, able to resume their lives in Metru Nui. The Turaga and Matoran will know that they became true heroes. Matoro does not see himself as a hero. As a Matoran, a Toa Inika, and a Toa Mahri, all he ever tried to do was his duty. Now that duty has led him to his destiny.

[@AllOutBrick]

Matoro has always been my hero. I have all of his sets, the matoran, the Inika, the Mahri and the Toa Ignika.

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

While I wish the torsos weren't so flat in some cases, it's amazing to me how much these Toa (the most diverse and strange yet!) compliment each other. Isolate any one of them and their individual flaws become more apparent. But gather them as the team they were meant to be, and all that just washes away. They bring out the best in each other and make one of the sickest Toa teams of all.

[@ShadeTheghazt]

Them and the 2015 toa are definitely my favorite because they are all diverse and fun

[@vaimantobe3034]

I only had Jaller Mahri. On his own he was alright, but seeing him next to the rest really elevates the uniqueness of him. You're absolutely right!

[@EclipseHedgehog]

you described it perfectly Nick, like always. Hewkii for example gets a lot of flack, i dig his wild design but by himself he seems weak, same with Kongu and Nuparu. Jaller, Hahli and Matoro though are the top 3 for me. But if you put them together they look like a mighty force to be reckoned with. side note I do dig how the cg mini movie gave me flashbacks of power rangers in space seeing them all in rocking in their seats of the carrier sub just like how we saw the rangers being launched in the shuttle.

[@InitialPC]

[@nertaku6128]

The Toa Mahri are the best designed team of Toa in my opinion because it was not one of those teams (especially the Hordika) where if you’ve bought one you’ve essentially bought them all. My favorite Toa set is Vakama (Metru) but this is the greatest team

[@lehvak182]

This year was peak Bionicle set design for me. All the different silhouettes. Ah memories.

[@MaatStile]

peak Bionicle for sure, the menacing barraki, the awesome titan designs, the unfolding of the story, the 2001 mysterious vibes were brought back, but with the "coolness" of the 2006 wave. it had it all, best year for suuuure

[@bingus_factory]

I love Kongu, he just picked up 2 Cordak Blasters and went "two hands.". Also Jaller's Hahnah crab is great, he just got a crab friend.

[@MatiNuva1724]

Jaller's Hahnah and Pewku would probably get along

[@zeratul____1228]

Something you missed is how the packaging is designed to act like a foxhole or defensive placement and can have a cordak blaster mounted onto it by using a blue pin and a hand piece. Also there are like 6 Titan sets for this year hot damn.

[@MandoDin]

It may be more recent, but this is the most nostalgic team of sets for me. When 2007 came these Toa Mahri to me were the coolest sets yet, I would spend hours seeing reviews and replaying the commercial. Although I don't think these are the best Toa sets, these are my personal favourites, alongside 06 and 01, though I think this one beats out those 2 just for the nostalgia and for the story. I could make an entire essay and why these sets are great, and why the team as a whole is great. And of course, remember Matoro.

[@MattyBmemes]

15 years is pleanty of time for nostagia, all boinicles are older these days as crazy as it seems to us who grew up with them

[@MandoDin]

@@MattyBmemes Yeah, crazy to think, but a lot of kids who were only 10 by the time we found out who the legendary 7th Toa was would be nearing their 30s now, possibly married already.

[@jackpfefferkorn3734]

The Mahri commercial is legendary! Both the barraki and toa versions are great, but I have to give the edge to the Toa one for its use of "Crash".

[@battedbook5811]

In the mahri mini movie you can see Jaller having his Hahnah crab being stored on his back and you can do that with the set also, of course the crab is not actually connected in any way, but just held in place by Jallers breathing tubes. This configuriation gives Jaller very distinct silhuette.

[@VortexKiller2]

I always loved the look of Jaller's Mahri mask, probably one of my most favourite masks of all time.

[@cradiculous]

And he had C R A B

[@blizzardgaming7070]

So good then even somewhat remade it in the elemental guardian masks in gen 2

[@GunzIsWearier]

I'll take it from here One of the most awesome things I heard as a kid in the time before time

[@D00dman]

'07 had the *best* line-up of sets in Bionicle. Nothing even comes close: the Toa were dope, the Barraki were absolutely devilish and looked as freaky as the theme was, you had some really dope titans (MAKUTA EVEN RETURNS!!!), and the story was brilliant. '07 will always be my favorite Bionicle year. EDIT: AND WHO CAN FORGET ABOUT THE TRAILER?!?!?! HOLY COW! "NUPARU!!!" "I'll take it from here 😏"

[@daredevill0407]

Yeah, goated year

[@cradiculous]

Jaller was shouting to Matoro, not Nuparu, but yeah it was a really great year. The first one where I had access to every Toa set, too.

[@joanhailey8969]

Don't forget the banger songs from this year - Creeping In My Soul and Crashed were fantastic and set the vibes for what was to come

[@MatiNuva1724]

But, Jaller didn't yelled "Nuparu". He yelled for Matoro

[@CaramelFrapple]

I really enjoy how the Mahri brought back Toa having unique builds between each other. That diversity is what makes the original Toa so iconic and from then on they scaled back on diversity until the Toa Metru, as great as they are, were just palette swaps sans mask and weapon. That trend was finally broken with the Mahri and the Barraki next MN Monday will really exemplify that diversity.

[@landonfleury]

When I moved out to go to college, I packed up most of my Bionicles to sell because my parents were planning on moving and didn't want to lug all of them across the country. I ended up keeping only 3 sets and 2 of them were Toa Mahri (Hahli and Matoro). I think that is a testament to how great these sets were designed (though I agree with you in that they aren't quite Metru level)

[@goman3696]

I really like how different each one of the toas is, not like most of the other toa teams, each time you open one you'll get a new experience and play experience

[@Just_A_Human15]

I already mentioned how much I loved the Toa Inika but this cemented them as favorite Toa of all time. Theses guys not only had to fight an army of dangerous sea creatures but they fought 6 warlords who once threatened the entire universe. Not to mention they were pushed to extremes doing things hero’s would never, should never do. Not to mention they were fighting against a literal ticking clock to save the universe. Only to (spoiler alert) lose in the end. Requiring one of their members who was tried harder than any other and was never able to shake his feeling of inadequacy, to make the ultimate sacrifice for the good of the universe! Words cannot describe how much I love the toa inika/mahri.

[@CrimsonMoonM]

While my heart will always belong to the Toa sets from '01 to '04, my brain tells me that these are by far and away my favorite Toa sets. While the experimental nature of their build can be rather hit-and-miss, finally getting a team of truly unique Toa sets for the first time was such a nice change of pace. I especially adore Jaller's incredibly well-balanced mix of dark red, orange and black coloring as well as Hahli's extremely eye-catching combination of dark blue and vibrant lime pieces.

[@AllOutBrick]

I agree 100% with you!

[@morran_gaming9555]

[@ecofreak8307]

The Toa Mahri were easily some of the best Toa imo. Their designs felt distinct from one another and I really loved the underwater theme. And a shoutout to our savior Matoro. I was actually surprised that the Barraki review didn’t come first, as they were released in early 2007

[@turtlehelmmemes]

I always loved the Tora Mahri especially Matoro! But Hahli was the bane of my existence, me and my brother both had one back in the day. Those lime joints man…

[@AllOutBrick]

Gotta be careful with them!

[@maltahighjacker9842]

How i would've fixed toa marhai hewkii: One: give him a hordika chest piece. Two: switch his upper arms and upper legs around so his legs are longer than his arms. Three: make his cortex blaster shoulder mounted by taking the blaster and mounting it on his left upper arm where a pin goes. Finally: *give him a hand* and make him hold his staff with both hands.

[@adamzazarinno1065]

These were my first bionicles and I had to rebuild them with pieces from hero factory but I still cherish this particular set of town.

[@cradiculous]

I actually finished putting together a Vezon and Fenrakk for the first time right as this video dropped, which felt pretty fitting despite the gap in release years. Really impressed with that set, too. But on to the Mahri, Hahli was definitely my favorite Bionicle growing up, and she got played with until her joints were completely shot. Not surprising considering the color, though. It did always bother me how she didn't have any torso armor, though, and she really could have used some. It would have made her design much more complete.

[@rocnado]

This generation is my favourite. I’ve been waiting for these reviews since you started putting out reviews!

[@fredd4320]

These were the Toa I grew up on, didn’t get to enjoy the other stuff bc I was born in 02, the nostalgia is hittin!

[@frostace8057]

Honestly the Toa Mahri are thr best use of the Inika build era of Bionicle. Shows the diversity in how you can use the parts

[@_Opera_Ghost_]

Love how you pointed out Matoro's design incorporating pieces from each generation, I feel like a lot of people miss that detail. Great review.

[@ianbrennan9635]

2007 was my favorite Bionicle year because every canister set was designed in such a way that they had their own unique silhouette. The Toa Inika/Mahri were easily my favorite team partially as a result of this (although I do question why they decided to make Kongu look more muscular, which isn't what people normally expect from air Toa). Spring-loaded blasters and Hahli's lime joints aside, these were all stellar sets, and I was proud to have collected them all as a kid!

[@Obi-Wan_Kenobi]

What I wouldn't give to have Jaller Marhi. I wasn't into Bionicle back then but in retrospect, he was my favorite character and his set here just looks so dang cool!

[@TheFuzzyOcelot]

This has to be my second favorite team, right behind the Phantoka. They just embody the lanky, mechanical frames and cool weapons that are synonymous with Bionicle in my mind. Hell, the only reason I like the Phantoka more is because they do the same thing but I like the Midak Skyblaster more and Lewa's Phantoka mask is one of my favorites.

[@cheangizzz]

Just discovered this bionicle channel. So nostalgic. I assume many people watching this feel the same. Just glad we shared something in childhood.

[@TymaDem]

Awesome, I was waiting for this review for quite a while. Got all six, everyone except Hahli were new, Hahli I could not find in new condition and most used ones were in bad condition. I had to compromise, got one fully complete in good condition, but without both box and instruction manual. Great review as always!

[@AllOutBrick]

Nice pickup!

[@ChSG39]

This is by far my favorite Toa Team. Favorite incarnations. I love everything and everyone of them. I know I have a little(huge) bias towards 2007, but you can't deny that both Toa Mahri and Barraki broke that pesky "clone sets" issue of prior years. Well, since the very begining. Waiting a little more to see this 07 reviews is getting worth! Can't wait to see the ancient Warlords review...!

Been with Bionicle since 2002, but this is my favorite year. I love the theme, the design and story arc. Also my good friend(whom I’m still friends with) would spend our summer back in 2007 mowing lawns just to buy these guys.

[@dominicslivinski9216]

I cannot tell you how long I spent on the Bionicle website playing the Toa Mahri games back in '07. I was so stoked to get Kongu as my first of the set. These guys will always be particularly special to me.

[@Aidex106]

I’ve always liked how the color schemes and even their builds were somewhat consistent as they evolved as Toa. Jaller lost the gold elements from his Inika form but his colors were still Metru red and orange, the orange just lost it’s transparency which makes it seem as if they downgraded because they aren’t as OP of Toa as they were on Voya Nui. his build was initially the same minus the chest piece too. Hahli’s white and Metru blue turned to a lime green and that almost feels as if the murky waters stained her colors, her build is pretty similar too trading the forearms for something slender. Nuparu went from this bulked up punk rock Toa to a slender defense typa Toa and retained his chest piece and color scheme except gaining a darker grey instead of the lighter shade he had. Kongu, like nuparu had a pretty drastic change, going from the most slender of the Toa to being the stockiest, but retained his color scheme for the most part trading silver for grey works for the environment I think, I still think it’s funny he became the Toa of gun lolz. Matoro changed into a hunchback with a pretty drastic change despite keeping most of the same pieces from his Inika counterpart, if his thigh armor and upper arm armor were switched it would’ve been more in line with his Inika form too, he also retained his color scheme just ditched the transparent colors for opaque ones. And finally Hewkii, who retained the keetorange but swapped the gunmetal for the darker black. He also kept it consistent with the overall weirdness that the Toa of stone were prone to, I never got Hewkii or Kongu but still plan to at some point. Anyway kinda cool I think

[@colinroberts2060]

It's interesting that we're taking a look at these right now, given that the Barraki were released first. Either way, the Toa Mahri were my second complete team of Toa, but only four of them I obtained within the year of release. Hahli was my first of these, which I received on my 10th birthday that year. I also strangely never had the lime joint issue with her or with Ehlek (the green Barraki), and she also marks the debut of the Inika legs, rounded feet and shoulder armor in solid Metru blue (Earth blue), She is also the final set to have the Piraka torso in that color. Subsequently, I obtained Jaller and Hewkii Mahri from Toys R Us on two different ocassions, though my copy of Jaller was missing the shell for the Hana Crab that is holding his Cordak Blaster, so I needed a replacement for that. Jaller Mahri marks the final appearance of the Inika torso and lower legs in Metru red, and the second and final appearance of the Visorak double socket joints in orange. The armor on his hips is exclusive to him in orange, and his "Power Sword" is in three other sets after this. Hewkii Mahri marks the debut of the spiked Inika feet in black, the Piraka torso in "Keet-orange" (flame yellow), and the only appearance of the Piraka arm in that color. He is also the first Bionicle set to have the "Morning Star" piece from the Knights' Kingdom II theme as knee armor. He is also the last set to have the Inika leg in black, and of both types of double socket joint in Keet-Orange. His "Aqua Warblade" appears in eight other sets after this. Kongu Mahri I obtained on December 27 of '07, after exchanging another item at a Target. He introduces a shorter eye stock piece in transparent fluorescent green, and marks the final appearance of the Toa Metru knee armor and of the Toa Hordika lower arm in Metru green (earth green). Conversely, he marks the debut of the Inika knee armor in and 2x2x2 round brick in Metru green, and the only appearance of the Rahkshi feet in that color. He also introduces a new type of chest armor, and the only appearance of the Toa Metru legs in dark stone. I don't remember when I obtained Matoro Mahri, but it may have been after the new year that year. He marks the debut of the Inika torso in white, and the final appearance of the Visorak double socket joint in medium blue. He is also the first set to have the epaulet-like armor in silver. His Twin Cutters appear in a few other sets, but in different colors. In contrast to being my first Inika, Nuparu was my last Toa Mahri, though I didn't obtain him until roughly April of 2008, when I found him in a bookstore. As with Hahli and Matoro and one other character from '07, he has a visor in transparent fluorescent blue which attaches under his mask. He marks the debut of the webbed Piraka feet in black, and the final appearance of the rounded Inika chest plate in the same color. The armor on his arms and legs is exclusive to his set in black as well. His Kanohi Volitak, is also the only one of the Toa Mahri's masks which reappears in another set later on...

It must have been 8 or 9 years ago when i received Matoro and Hahli in used condition as a gift from a relative from abroad, and putting the sets together as a kid, i had absolutely no idea about the infamy of the lime joints within the Bionicle community...much to my luck, none of them broke when i was building Hahli, but ever since i found out about the lime joints thing a few years ago, i've been feeling absolute anxiety and dread regarding taking any of those pieces temporarily off, so nowdays my Hahli just stays on a shelf collecting dust like she's some kind of fragile porcelain lol Anyway, great review as always and happy New Year mate!

This might be a little weird, but one of my fondest memories growing up was taking a bath and firing the cordac blaster underwater. It just felt right for them to be used like that, like I was replicating a scene from the animated commercial, and the water pressure made firing the missiles a little more consistent.

[@Painted_Owl]

2008 was definitely a bigger run, but ‘07 is what I consider to be definitive Bionicle. The Toa Mahri, Barraki, titans and system sets just went so hard into selling the world all of these characters lived in, creating fond memories and inspiration still felt in me these near 20 years later

[@SZaier6]

The Toa Mahri were the first and only time I got the 6 sets of any group, it was also during that era that I discovered the website and online minigames. I really like these sets a lot.

[@blazinglightning1425]

I remember playing the mini games and it was just fun

[@TheHaloHedgehog]

The Toa Mahri are my personal favorite Toa team, and 07 is just my favorite year for Bionicle in general. The sets were good and all felt unique from each other like you mentioned, and that continues throughout the year. Then there was the story with a lot of big moments like Matoro's sacrifice which many fans still feel to this day. Just such a good year for the line. Probably didn't hurt that I was still fairly new to Bionicle at the time too having gotten into it in 06, so this year is quite nostalgic for me (not as much as 06 though).

[@deathkorgi5806]

Will always have a soft spot for this set. Was the first complete set of bionicle I had growing up.

[@andrewhedstrom4113]

[@CommanderWolf888]

2007 was when I first got into Bionicle. At the time, I managed to get my hands on Jaller, Matoro and Hahli for the Toa, Takadox, Kalmah, Ehlek and Mantax for the Barraki, and even Gadunka too, but being a kid I couldn't get all six for either of the main teams (and in particular I missed out on Maxilos). Furthermore, due to play when I was younger, My Hahli had several of her lime joints break. Now, 15 years later, I'm changing that. I've already got Kongu and Nuparu used off of Bricklink, with Hewkii and replacement parts for Hahli on they way. As an Adult now, I'm excited to display all 6 Toa Mahri in my room, and I'm thinking I'll probably try and get the last two Barraki I'm missing too.

[@snuppssynthchannel]

To me the third best Toa team after Mata and Metru. I really loved this wave in general from the Toa, to the Titans and smaller sets. I had/still have all of the Mahri, and was also a big fan of the Barraki and had 3 of them.

[@CSSP_1188]

I remember being 3 years old and seeing the toa mahri canisters in the shop and I'd never seen anything so cool, every time I went to that shop I'd beg my mum to get me a bionicle... a year passed and I started the toa mistika/phantoka canisters and I'd bed my my mum again to get me a bionicle but every time she either said I was too young or we couldn't afford. And then finally when I was 5 years old in 2009, I got my first bionicle which was Kina from Glatotian Legends. I remember before I ever got a bionicle my mum used to tell me to build them, all u have to do is shake the canister... I think she had then confused for something else? 😅

To avoid the sockets cracking, take a hair blower and heat the parts up. it makes them a tiny bit more flexible. I recommend heating even assembled figures before moving their limbs, since plastic fuses and can crack even if it has just been sitting with 0 play.

as a bionicle fan. I always like to clash my bionicles in battle (sets vs sets or colors vs colors). In my youth I damaged a lot of my bionicles, but somehow the pieces didn't crack. I could like throw one like Sparta from my desk and nothing would of happen, but since Barrakis and Toa Mahri released, the pieces didn't seem so enduring like before, specially lime green pieces idk why... Toa Mahri Hahli, Ehlek and the green Glatorian pieces cracked like eggs which made me take care of my sets more, but making me wonder that the quality was going down (strong sets)

I legit had a crush on Matoro since I was a kid. Go ahead and judge me- I’m happy and you’re alone.

Me too :')

Personalmente, creo que este fue el mejor equipo de Toa como figuras y como personajes, y es que nadie les pidio ser héroes, pero lo vieron como su deber y lo llevaron hasta las últimas consecuencias, son excelentes personajes y representan tan bien la Unidad, Deber y Destino, en general, fueron un 100/10. Además considero que el 2007 fue el Pic de Bionicle con los mejores sets y historia y los diseños por dios, Kongu es increíble, luce como un peso pesado con sus dos Cordak (y me encanta como no lucen como los típicos Toa de cada elemento), Jaller luce épico, como un super héroe, Hahli parece un Angel y la mejor representación de lo que puede ser una Toa del agua, Nuparu tampoco se queda atrás y luce muy rudo, Hewkii tiene toda la esencia de este grupo y Matoro, lindo mi Matoro. Estos 6 se complementan tan bien entre sí, son hermanos, son los mejores Toa.

Gracias por el desglose de cada Toa, ¡me entusiasmó nuevamente con estos conjuntos!

I remember that Hahli was first Mahri i had and his shoulder joint popped the first night, i was devastated

[@cloudcleaver23]

Strictly based on looks, I think these are the best Toa in the whole series. The only design choice I objectively dislike is using the silver color for Matoro and Nuparu's masks, while everyone else's masks match their primary colors.

My brother had hahli, i had the other minus nuparu, i really liked the designs on all of them, i cant remember if my brother's had the joint issue, but I remember my Ehlek did, his joints cracked quickly and since I was a dumb child i took him apart to use his weapons for other. Shame they never seemed to hold on the red pins correctly. I personally never kept the weapons loaded, bht they still looked cool, much better than the weapons the barraki had!

I've never has a toa mahri, New or used so seeing how the canisters work is kind of interesting. It's annoying that u have to rip it, but that canister style definitely has a charm or novelty to it

[@dr.toxicgamingmadscientist]

I actually had Kongu's Mahri toy as a kid, I can't remember if it got sold or lost, but man, it was an awesome toy.

[@wamcuber9456]

My favorite toa sets. Always have been my favorites.

[@elgaboxx6613]

Hoy he conocido la envidia. Recuerdo de chiquito estos personajes jugables y me aparece un gran recuerdo de la infancia.

Packaging was really no bueno here. Canisters were so iconic to Bionicle and super convenient

How are this videos so entretaining? i have spent 2 hours watching a guy talk about decade old toys!
