Toys and Games Reviews of LEGO Bionicle Set #8623 Krekka

Customer Review: An excellent toy!
Summary: 5 Stars

Krekka (and his counterpart Nidhiki) are both my ideas of 5 out of 5 star toys! ?Compared to most of the junk you'll see in a toy store nowadays, Lego has always been my #1 choice for educational toys.
Krekka is ridiculously sturdy, to the point that you can put him into a karate kick-style pose without him tipping over. His sturdiness comes from 6 rubber-coated joints in his thick legs, and broad, flat feet. Compared to his legs, however the arms are a little wiry and dissapointing. It's good that the head swivels, since its ball-and-socket joint won't move very far, but whenever the head moves, a substantial amount of th body armour also swivels with it.
The shoulder-mounted cannon is a nice touch, and it easily flips up from Krekka's back. Unfortunately, it reduces the movement of his head a bit. The disk-launching mechanism works well, but isn't reinforced, so it could easily bend. It's the only part of this toy that wouldn't last for decades, though.
Krekka is once again, an excellent toy! It's sure to amuse, and it's full of surprises!

Description of LEGO Bionicle Set #8623 Krekka

Krekka was a Dark Hunter. His species was a lower class on the island of Stelt (also home to Sidorak's species). Krekka left the island after a run-in with a representative of the Brotherhood of Makuta which resulted in him losing one eye. This representative turned out to be Gorast. He traveled from island to island and eventually was recruited by the Dark Hunters. He was soon paired with the more-intelligent Nidhiki. During one of their first trials, they served the Brotherhood of Makuta in defending the Mask of Light. On their last mission, Nidhiki and Krekka kidnapped Toa Lhikan and tried to stop the Toa Metru from finding the six Great Kanoka Disks. Nidhiki blackmailed one of the Matoran, Ahkmou, into helping him get the Great Disks, but this failed as the Toa Metru were able to get to them first. Later, Krekka and Nidhiki ambushed the Toa. In the end, Teridax faced the Toa and absorbed the two Dark Hunters(Including Nivawk) into his body to increase his power, killing them. Krekka was unintelligent, but made up for his stupidity with sheer brute strength. He excelled in combat, and was smart enough to leave the planning to those who knew what they were doing. His trainer, Nidhiki, was extremely annoyed with him, and was reluctantly teamed up with him during the mission to sabotage Zamor spheres. Krekka's greatest attribute was his sheer brute strength, though he could also fire Energy nets. He also had a shoulder-mounted Kanoka Disk Launcher.
