They are building parts, but they don't appear to be particularly useful
building parts. Really all they are (from a building perspective) are caps
for posts. I suppose you could use them to simulate armor the way they're
used on the combined Turaga figure.
If they were going to do semi-rare Toa parts I'd have liked to have seen
alternate arms, legs, etc. How about arms and legs that are jointed at the
knee and elbow? That would be too cool. By limiting themselves to masks Lego
is missing out.
Think of it this way... Mattel makes tons (or tonnes for those not in the
U.S.) of money not off Barbie but off all the Barbie accessories. Lego
should do Toa accessory packs that change the shape and behavior of the Toa,
not simply the mask.
