Green?

I thought that when I read somewhere that this guy was the leader of the Skrall that somebody had gotten their facts wrong. Because, obviously, the Skrall are black and red and Tuma is black and green. So that's kind of a minus point. But the minus point became invisible as I built him.
Tuma is really fun to build and his mask is AWESOME! Whats not awesome however is the stickers that go on his mask. But he still looks cool enough without the stickers, so thats not too bad. His sword is great and is a really good way of using the Mahri Matoran blade and a black Lhikan sword. The Thornax Launchers looks kinda out of place on such a big guy but it is really cool anyway and fires consistently. The use of Mantax feet as shoulder armour is great and even though some people say that the rest of his arms are small in comparison to his shoulders I disagree. Though the amount of instruction manual pages spent on the arms compared to the legs is kinda tiny. Still greatly awesome however.
Now onto the legs. The top leg armour is awesome, using the Gresh feet as the armour, which some people might think sounds weird but is actually very cool. The suspension system seems to have become a recurring thing for Titans, and I personally really like it. Tuma's feet may be one of his coolest parts. The use of the Mahri Matoran blades as toes/talons/claws/feet things is really cool and looks good in green. The use of the super old Toa feet is the foot centre is also rather cool and I like seeing it in black as none of the super old Toa, including Onua who happened to be black himself, actually had that specific piece in black.
Tuma's back is really cool with the four Skrall blades sticking out in sort of an X. Sometimes I play with him and act like he lost his sword and Thornax launcher and uses the Skrall blades as weapons. The centre bit of the Skrall blades, which is red on Skrall and glow in the dark for Attakus, are green which is also very cool.Tuma is also unique as he has two life counters. Extra destruction! The unique use of a Piraka foot as a chest plate is awesome and it looks the part too.
Lego's use of old pieces for new things makes Tuma an extremely unique Bionicle, and I would highly recommend him to all Bionicle fans. And even though he is black and green, as opposed to black and red, Tuma is still awesome. A MUST HAVE!
