I find it more frustrating than funny, but that’s because any time I mention
stuff like this on MaskofDestiny, I get a bunch of e-mails from people telling
me that I’m wrong.
BTW, I’d love to see a closeup of your version of the Infected Miru Nuva. I had
a horrible time trying to figure out a good believable design for mine, and I’m
still not hugely satisfied with it. It’d be interesting to see what someone
else came up with.

I was just following what is on the Lego Bionicle Site itself. Joke or no
it’s listed in the little color squares after the Miru Nuva. So Why not?
|
I suppose, but I’d have much preferred if they were temporary stand-ins for the
Taka Nuva/Makuta masks, since I believe those technically fall into the Kanohi
Nuva group (they’re new shapes that are being introduced concurrent with the Toa
Nuva, at least) and it seems a shame to exclude them.

Just following these tracks from the Lexicon again at bionicle.com 1) Golden
Kanohi - Mask of Valor worn by Toa Kaita Akamai. So Why not a Golden Kanohi
Nuva For Akamai Nuva? 2) Silver Kahohi - Silver Mask of Wisdom worn by the
other Toa Kaita, Wairuha. Again so Why not make a Silver Mask there too?

This is a rather long-standing source of frustration on behalf of a lot of kids.
There are people who don’t understand why the Toa would give up their cool gold
and silver Kanohi (which contain the power of every Kanohi they’ve accumulated
up to that point) to get a plain-vanilla Kanohi Nuva with the powers of only one
mask. I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve received e-mail asking why
the gold/silver Kanohi wouldn’t have turned into gold/silver Kanohi Nuva
instead. The official reasoning runs that the individual Kanohi Nuva are much
more powerful than the original Kanohi, and that all of the energy from the
accumulated mask powers was converted into running the one core set of mask
powers of their signature Kanohi Nuva. That in turn led to the question of when
we’d see gold and silver Kanohi Nuva, but TLC doesn’t seem to be very interested
in doing that at this point (well, aside from the Mask of Light, and the
powerless Protodermic Kanohi Nuva). It’s a shame, really, since the Mask of
Light was produced in much better metallic gold and metallic silver plastics
than the gold/silver Kanohi were.

I believe neither is related to the MoL. Right?
|
Couldn’t say. I’m not yet privy to the plot of MoL, so I don’t know if any of
the Toa Nuva/Rahkshi combiners have been used. Regardless, the gold/silver Hau
Nuva are not official story canon, so they are not MoL material. BTW, why a
silver Hau Nuva instead of a silver Miru Nuva?
