Toys and Games Reviews of LEGO Bionicle Kopaka (8536)
Customer Review: It's Protoman... wait, no.
Summary: 5 Stars
All six of the original Toa are constructed basically the same: a body with a gear that moves one or both arms (Pohatu's body is upside down, so it moves his leg instead), four limbs, and a head with a distinctive mask. They're all pretty solid once built, except for the masks (which are SUPPOSED to come off), and when a piece comes off it goes back on easily (they are Legos after all).Anyway, onward to Kopaka. His weapon of choice is a sword, which (according to the Bionicle comic book from a while back) can fire sort of a freeze ray from the tip. He's also the only Toa to have a shield, which is a good sign for the Toa of Ice's intelligence. There's technically nowhere to put these when he's not using them, but if you're clever you can attach the shield to one of the holes in the sword, then use the other hole to attach the sword to the back of his non-moving shoulder using the little gray part that holds his shield on. His gear causes him to attack with his sword by default, but you can always put the gears in backwards or borrow a gear from another Toa and have it move his shield. Kopaka wears the Mask of Vision, which doesn't really affect how you play with the toy but at least it looks cool. Kopaka is decently posable, and you can get more poses by taking off his parts and attaching them differently.
Overall, it has problems, but by being made of Legos it solves pretty much all of them.
Customer Review: To all who are not true fans of Bioinicle
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi! I come from long island. Im a true bionicle fan. I've been collecting since 2000 or 2001 (cant remember when they came out). Currently out of the 50 or more sets I have a total of 20. Ever since I went to florida and got this it has been my favorite. To all who dont know it some people say the toa are brothers and related and are different ages. THEY ARENT. those people dont know those ideas were forgotten long ago.
Also the story is that a spirit called mata nui came down from to the iland. Since matanui brought happeness to the island the Matoran and Turaga named it after him. then his "spirit brother" came from the heavans and put matanui in a deep sleep. Using Infected Masks he controlled creatures known as rahi and terrorized the island. because of his dark powers the inhabitants weakend. then the six heros called the toa came to defeat makuta.
kopaka comes with Kanohi Akaku Great mask of X-ray vision. As the toa of Ice he protects the villagers of Ko-koro and makes his home in Mount Ihu.
The toy is really cool and can be combined with Gali and Lewa to kreate Toa Kaita Whariua.

Customer Review: Kopaka, Toa of Ice
Summary: 5 Stars
Kopaka, in my opinion, is the strongest of all the Toa. Most people think that Tahu is the leader, but Kopaka should be. I think that Kopaka is very educational because it teaches little kids how a gear system can move something, like an arm w/ a sword. My best friend's little sister, who's 5, put one together in about 7 minutes. That proves how easy it is to put together. Don't get me wrong, though, this toy will bring months of fun even after it's built. Overall, one of LEGO's best product lines, along with STAR WARS.Customer Review: Ice Age
Summary: 5 Stars
This guy is my second favorite toa (first is the green one). He looks like an Ice Age refugee. He has a cool sword, and moreover, instead of one of those wierd "hands" like Tahu and Lewa get, gets a shield, which is pretty neat. Also, I like his colors. A neat idea for a new creation is to add wings, making him some sort of archangel. I used the main body parts to the white Bohrok for wings. Lastly, don't worry about subliminal coding in this article telling you to buy Kopaka, because there isn't any.Customer Review: The Mighty Toa of Ice
Summary: 5 Stars
In my opinion, this is the best Toa of all six. He waves a long sword and holds up a pretty cool shield that no other Toa has. He is really easy and fun to put together, and it should take no longer than ten minutes to do so. I read somewhere that his sword freezes anything it touches, and he can cause avalanches and stuff. His mask is also the coolest of the Kanohi. All in all, Lego and Bionicle fans of all ages should purchase this guy to add to or start your collection.
