I haven’t seen it for real yet, but on http://www.c1000.nl I saw the
following image of a Bionicle figure unknown to me:
Maybe someone else has any insight about this one?

He’s Hewkii, a revised version of Huki:
The storyline explanation is that the Matoran villagers did a great job
helping to fight off the Rahi, Bohrok, and Bohrok Va, so the Turaga rewarded
them by making them bigger. And they gave them new names.
The more logical real-life explanation is that the McToran design was too
restrictive for the upcoming Mask of Light movie, so they redesigned it to be
more posable. Evidentally they’d wanted to make the original villager models
more articulated than they were, but they had a piece-count restriction to meet
for the Happy Meal promo, so it didn’t happen. Now, however, they’re releasing
them to regular retail, so piece-counts are more flexible. I have no idea why
they decided to start changing the names as well, since I don’t think any of
them are borrowed from existing languages.
