LEGO® Bionicle 8755 Keetongu | Review

[@Pikminer-5087]

Fun fact: that yellow looking color, which originated on this set and appears in a few others later, like the 2009 Mata Nui canister set, has been given the fan name "keetorange". Pretty cool.

[@jurekmc]

but is yellow no? or you mean the spiner?

[@lil.yeastinfection]

@@jurekmc no the orange/yellowish color is called keetorange

[@jurekmc]

@@lil.yeastinfection i have some pieces in that color, and i may be a little colorblind but ffs that is bright yellow, with no orange to be seen

[@sporeham1674]

@@jurekmc Nope, it's orange if you colour pick it. Looks yellow to my colorblind eyes too :/

[@TheGuysSayHello]

@@jurekmc if you compare these pieces side by side with true lego yellow, it is pretty obvious that way to see the orangeish color. It's definitely pretty tough to decern without another yellow color to compair to, and it would have made more sense to call it Keetyellow, but it doesn't have the same ring, I guess. Regardless, it 100% looks more yellow than orange.

Keetongu is overall a really solid set, in my opinion, might be nostalgia talking, but I really enjoy his colours, it reminds me of the brighter colours in 01-03

[@LucarioShirona]

I have a fascinating history with Keetongu. When the 2005 Titans sets were on shelf, my parents let me pick one. Being a little innocent kid, I picked Keetongu because I only knew him as a good guy. Thinking back, I should have picked Roodaka. That being said, I still have Keetongu standing in my shelf.

[@LegomationStudio]

I remember just being excited to have a set with so much bright Orange/yellowish color in it, Bionicle hadn’t dabbled with that color too frequently yet. But also how could you not like his character after seeing his power in the film.

[@AllOutBrick]

"Unlimited Power!!!"

[@Vegalith]

Keetongu is the peak of the old bionicle style. School bus yellow, single eye, triangle boots, hook arm, spinning shield arm, body opens up into spinner cannon… there’s nothing like it anywhere else.

[@ColeMagnus]

This was one among many sets I desperately wanted as a kid but could not get. So I just studied the pictures in the catalogue I had and used that as a reference in building my own action figure. The figure I built turned out great! Still have it today:)

[@bioswat96]

He's just too awesome for playing, many functions and posing potential

[@EXPowerBlast]

Keetongu's awesome from top to bottom, definitely my favourite '05 set, and I don't care what anyone says his left arm is COOL

[@onikwa]

In my head cannon he lost his arm to the visorak, and forgoes his peaceful nature to attach a spike to it to fight back.

[@hostiledodo1150]

I bought this set from you during the big sale! This guy was always a low-key grail for me, so when I saw he was still available I snatched him right up! I also found a solution to the ankle issue, I took the rubberized ball joints (which have aged very well) from a 2015 Bionicle set and now I have no issues standing him up, apart from one knee being a tad loose. Super fun set and seeing some of these pieces in colors I haven't seen in years made me really nostalgic.

[@jaxwarp8373]

Keetongu always fascinated me, I think he was my first titan set, and he's such an oddball of a design. They never really did something quit like him again, except maybe like Gadunka

[@alienkid3609]

A cool idea for something that you can put in the room you review the sets in is a big shelf with all of the sets you’ve previously reviewed and so with each new video we can see the shelf grow with new sets

[@AllOutBrick]

If I had a shelf like that I would! Unfortunately I can't work one into my studio area right now but potentially something like that in the future

Fold up a small piece of paper and stick it in the sockets, it'll add more friction

[@AllOutBrick]

I'll try that out, thanks!

[@tinygreyalien13]

I do remember they began phasing out the rubberised joints post brutaka titan in favour of stiff pistons which fixed stability issues in a lot of heavier sets. These long pistons worked great in posability but limited movement to purely front/back which for knee joints works a lot better.

[@Chokun-Gaming]

Even if you buy new, you might still run into linguine legs. I bought a sealed maxilos and spinax about 2 years ago, and a week after building and displaying him his legs already started getting loose

[@AllOutBrick]

Huh, that's really interesting!

[@alexandersong5753]

[@cdr2691]

I had this set, it was such a cool set to have. The build was fun and the play features were really cool. One of my favorites up until the Piraka sets

[@AnomalyAlter]

He was my only 2005 titan growing up, and I loved him That Keetorange was so vibrant and unique, we hadn't seen anything like it since the Rahi of 2001 Design wise, he stands out so much with that singular eye and use of technic elementsp With all the samey designs from both the toa and villains of 2004 and 2005, he was definitely the standout If you have any of his orange pieces floating around, there's no mistake where they came from

[@puffcap_]

I really like the way they did his head and eye

[@KhlavKalash14]

I particularly like seeing other familiar Bionicle pieces (the bohrok head, the rakhshi foot...) painted in orange. Really cool set!

[@FunnyMitu]

I remember when i watched this video when it first came out and what are the odds, my brother found Keetongu with all pieces included for less than 3 euros. he gave it to me as a gift and i was super happy.

[@kokorodaki4017]

I got Keetongu earlier this year, and I was kinda underwhelmed by it honestly, espeecially since keetorange is one of my favourite Lego colours. The shield function is amazing, but the really simple left arm, super chunky feet, and barely posable head felt like steps backward from what we'd gotten before. I didn't mind though, since I got it used and mostly just for the parts. I'm really looking forward to the Sirdorak and Roodaka reviews though. I know they have some of those issues (especially with the chunky feet), but from what I've seen, they have so much more to them that Keetongu doesn't. Plus, they were amazing villains in the movie. Unfortunately though, I haven't seen any available on Bricklink here in Australia since adding them to my wishlist last year, although I haven't checked in the last month or so (trying to spend less money at the moment).

[@declanng7465]

ibought a massive bin of lego recently and it had keetongu nidhiki skirmix and fero along with 3 inika 2 mahri 2 piraka 1 barraki 2 visorak and 3 of the vahki and a matoran of metru nui and a mahritoran (the keetorange one). i am so lucky because both of the rubberized joint titans have pretty much mint joints so i can pose him any way i like which is amazing. I think I will upgrade the arms. ALSO IT WAS ALL OF THAT FOR 30 DOLLARS. i love all the sets i got from that bin it was amazing (especially the titans and all the toa and piraka).

From the 2008 wave I had Pohatu, Antroz, Kreka and Onua. And if my memory serves me well, I didn't have any particular issues with the joints. Probably I didn't disassemble them too much and didn't play with them as much, thus the joints didn't deteriorate.

Seems like you can't escape those rubberized joints, they stay in rotation all the way to 2007 with Nocturne. Then we all know what comes after... I just use tape to hold up my Keetongu, its worked pretty well and I only had to swap out tape once in about 10 years.

I guess we're stuck with them for a little while longer then. Oh well, hopefully some better luck in the future!

Keetongu feels like they took Krekka’s designed and trimmed the fat off. Good set. Only major complaints are the aforementioned arms. As a side note he seems really small to be the one who killed Sidorak with one blow…

Fun fact hordika venom has no effect on organic beings like the agori and glatorian which means it would have no effect on human if visorak were real and wouldn’t need to worry about finding keetongu before turning into a monster

[@SAWFD1413]

if the rubberised joints are the socket connecters with the white patches.....i wish we got more as the axel hole(prefer the term phil myself) is in a much more useful position for certain builds/techniques. because of this wave/era has the first playset build i am aware of.....will you be going over them? as future playset builds use parts in unique was(pirate's saw into boat engine)

Bionicle a big part of my childhood In grade 3 I tried fitting in a group in school who gotten in to Bionicle I was a bit of an outcast so for my birthday I wanted a figure to try fit in with the rest. Keetongu was the figure I got. Which at the time was like brand new. So it was hella cool compared to the older sets. Felt like the coolest kid in the playground. Plus building it with my dad was something truly a good moment in my childhood as building it bought as closer together. Unfortunately in school One of my peers wasn’t a very nice guy When we played Bionicle we would lightly battle eachother playfully but this douche snatched Keetongu of my hands and smashed it to the ground breaking it. All the rest of my peers laughing. Was very upset Don’t get me wrong as kids we do stupid stuff so now I laugh about it. But at the time it was very important figure for me. My folks tried buying me a new one but We could never find it in stock. I always told myself that one day, I will buy it again. Many years later I bought set on eBay and now it sits on my shelf as a tragic reminder and a good one. Building it with my dad was the true highlight. Keetongu was one hell of a set.
