Next on my list is Jaller Mahri. By far the best of the Mahri, he is an outstanding toa of fire. Read on and you will see why.
Set name: Toa Jaller Mahri
Number: 8911
Pieces: 68
Year Released:
Theme: Bionicle
Team: Toa Mahri
Colors: Dark red, orange, silver, mata red, black, mata blue, dark gray, trans-lime, trans-blue.
Other Mahri Reviews: Kongu Mahri
Price: 9.99 USD 12,95 EUR
1/Box
Now I pretty much covered the boxes in my Kongu Mahri Review, which you can in the set info at the top of this page. But anyway, here are his box pics. The only differences are that it is for Jaller, not Kongu.(duh).
2/Contents
Look at all of that! Beautuful instructions, shiny parts, and a bag full of fun.
Instructions:
I simply cannot bend these things to their original form. Anywho, they are crisp and clear.
Random Manual Image:
New/interesting Parts:
We have quite a bit of new parts here. Also pictured are some interesting parts like the system chain. I will let you look at those awesome pieces. And I love that orange.
3/Build
Torso:
The torso sports some nice new armor. It really works well on the Inika torso.
Legs:
The legs on Jaller are very similar to the ones on Jaller Inika. In fact, the only difference is the color of the joints. But, they look fine and are surprisingly fluid with Jaller Mahri.
Arms:
The arms. Nothing new here. They are okay, but something new would have helped. .20 point deduction from parts.
Finished Jaller:
Back:
Jaller is a very nice finished toa. The mata red on his cordak blaster seems a bit strange however. The mask and tube connection? A 1 point addition.
Simply beautiful.
But wait! There's a Hannah Crab!
The crab uses a clever little design. The blaster makes him a little tipsy topsy though.
The finished set:
------------------------
Parts: 9.8/10 (lots of new and interesting parts.)
Playabilty: 9.5/10 (It's an action figure. And there is an extra rahi as well. However, I have removed .5 due to the un playable crab. The blaster weighs him over.)
Price-per-part: 9/10 (quite a few small pieces. But still good for a bionicle.)
Overall: 28.3/30 94% A-
Overall, Jaller Mahri is a veru cool set. He has lots of nice new parts, and the crab addition makes this set complete. I feel the only thing really holding him back is the re-use of the inika torso, and the old arms.
I would highly recommend this set to even the mildest bionicle fans.
I hope you enjoyed this review! If you have any questions, complaints, or pic requests, then post 'em here. :sweet:
