Now I bought this set with lewa so that they could combine. Was it worth it? Well, you will just have to read the review to find out!
Set name: Tanma
Number: 8944
Pieces: A measly 14
Year released: 2008
Theme: Bionicle
Series: Av-Matoran
Price: 6.99 USD, 3.99 GBP, 6.95 EUR
Colors: Lime green, Dark gray, silver, trans-lime green.
1/Box
The matoran of 2008 have some very interesting boxes. As opposed to the small box, they are now a cylinder-like box with a plastic lid and bottom. This might raise the price, which doesn't help the set any. The front of the box shows tanma and the information, and the back shows him combining with Toa Lewa.
2/Contents
Here we have the contents. For the price of 6.99 USD, this set doesn't have much. He does have a butload of new parts though. In fact EVERY piece is new except the swords. Even the feet have a new design to them.
Mask:
Finaly we get some new masks in matorans. This one is awesome. It fits his character and would look great on a lime green toa. The mask gets a thumbup in my book.
Head:
The head is pretty nice. It has a cool alien feel to it, and it has a socket connection on the back. It has a "+" rod hole, so Nuva masks won't fit on this.
3/Build:
Tanma is a very fast build. Faster than an impulse set. This is due to him only having 14 pieces. However, he does look very nice in the end, and he is quite poseable.
Finished Product:
The finished product looks quite nice. The legs seem a little puffy, but that is only a minor flaw. His mask looks great on him, and his weapons suit him perfectly.
Action Pose:
(I said he was poseable, but it was kinda hard to ge him in a good pose
)
Combine!:
He looks pretty good when on Toa Lewa, but If you are buying him specificly for that reason, I would wait until he is on sale.
And remember, to infinity and beyond!
Parts: 7/10 (A lot of new parts, yet only 14. And at a price of 6.99, that isn't acceptable.)
Playability: 8/10 (The large parts mak it hard to Moc with, and he isn't very good at creating many poses.)
Price Per part: 4/10 (No. He should have much more than that. new parts or not.)
Overall: 19/30 63% D-
Tanma is a nice set, but He definatly isn't worth his full price. Since I got him with a gift card, he was much better than the final rating. Unless you find him on a good sale or are a Hardcore bionicle fan, I don't think he would be on your list of things to buy.
