Unusual colors

Posted by james3426 in United States on 03 November 2009

Onua's colors, black, silver, and--what? Classic red? This is very unusual indeed! His wings and jets sort of stick out, but I do not care much.This actually helps out with those screaming red pins. I really like his type of chest armor. In my opinion, it works very well in conjunction with the Toa Metru chest cover. The new Pakari Nuva distantly resembles the old Pakari Nuva, which is good for older fans to bring back memories. The nynrah ghost blaster guard looks very cool and is good for MOCs. You can fit the nynrah ghost blaster on his back by just putting it there, no modifications. I like where they put the jets, on the back of his legs, because he can shoot strait up in the air. The designers must have wanted a different place to put his shield, because I love it! He can take it off his shoulder and use it as a shovel.

pros:
Classic red.
Shield is on his shoulder.
Kanohi Pakari Nuva.
Chest armor.
Nynrah Ghost Blaster with guard.

cons:
none.

Onua is in my opinion, is in third place for the Mistika. He is a must-have for Toa Nuva fans.

I was always a fan of the black Bionicles, but this guy is one of the best. Since this is going to be a short review, lets head into pros and cons and leave it at that.

Pros:
- Cool mask
- Shoulder shield
- Nyrah Ghost blaster actually works quite well
- Chest plate
- Tall

Cons:
- Red jets kinda ruin the scene

Apart from the red jets, this Bionicle is awesome and is highly recommended.

Surprisingly Good

Posted by beyoda in United States on 23 July 2009

Picked Onua here up the other day, along with Tahu and Kopaka, and, I have to say, Onua was the pleasant surprise of the bunch. The colour scheme is actually quite good and fun to look at, and the mask makes him look like the awesomely beastly toa of earth that he is. After rooting around in my collection, I found parts to give him another shield on the other arm, and I recommend the same to everyone else, as it adds a lot to the set. While I don't like Lego giving shields to all these toa of earth, Onua here actually does look really good. 5 out of 5!
