Hi guys, today I will be reviewing Lewa Phantoka! Bought from TRU, I thought this set was an interesting concept. And yes, I built it on the grass. Take that, darn lego warnings at the beginning of the manual! 
Well, anyway, let's move on with the review. 
Set name: Lewa Nuva
Number: 8686
Pieces: 52
Price: Was $9.99, now $12.99
Colors: Lime green, trans. blue, silver, black, red, trans. lime green, blue, gray, black.
Allegiance: Toa
Series: Phantoka
Box:
Well, I pretty much explained the box in my review of Antroz(link at bottom of post). The only difference is the plastic piece is lime, and Lewa is the main picture.
Parts:
Random manual image:
Okay so here we have the new parts. The mask which is a normal metru mask, with longer + rod for the visor, the Midak skyblaster, sword, jetpack, and the new joints.
Build:
First we start off with the torso. It's your basic toa inika torso. This is okay, however, with long arms and legs, this kind of torso looks kinda awkward.
Adding on the legs is nice. They sport a design similar to lesovikk.
Next we come to the arms. they are similar to the legs, but not a lot. The sword is AWESOME, and has great detail. The midak blaster is okay, but I prefer zamor launcers, as they are a bit smaller. However, this would look great as the weapon for a base gate or something like that for a playset.
The finished product is something to talk about. He is something like Lesovikk, and the original Lewa Nuva in a strange way. However, he has tons of poses, and I can ony find one thing wrong with him: His feet. They are too high and make him seem like he's wearing high heals.
And an action pose:
"Lewa in his natural element."
---------------------------------
Parts: 8/10(average for a toa nowadays.)
Price per part: 7/10(average for bionicle)
Playability: 9/10(action figure)
Color: 8/10(Too much gray, but lime and gray mix well.)
Overall: 80% 32/40
Overall I'd say this is a nice set, and I recommend it, with a rating of Average.
