Once, long ago, Nocturn was the mightiest warrior of his civilization. That is, until he lost his temper one day, hit his home island in just the right spot, and shattered it. For his crime, he was exiled to the Pit for eternity. Over the centuries since, he has become many things -- but calmer is not one of them.
Fun facts about Nocturn- He originally had two tentacles but one was rip off by Pridak and he is immune to the pit mutation and that means that what he looked like even before he was banished. Also Nocturn was the one to make Pridak's shark tooth blades.
@@halite_g If you mean the ones from the Toa Inika and Rahkshi and Takadox and so on, they've held up very well for me. I've had one breakage of one of Takadox's limbs and that's it for me. Curiously I've had more clear Hero Factory bones break than old school ball sockets.
@@GringatTheRepugnant That's very interesting. I ask because my time spent in the Transformers community has taught me that clear plastic can be quite brittle
At the time, in my eyes Nocturn was always overshadowed by the armed Hydraxon, and the giant Maxilos (/Makuta), especially when I watched the awesome Mahri commercial and Nocturn wasn't in it, but I think as I grew older, I started to appreciate Nocturn as a set more than I did back then.
I always liked what he represented, yet another escaped mutant pit prisoner, and one who served as a big, unwieldy minion for the easier to acquire canister villains, specifically Ehlek.
I love this guy. A once proud warrior whose temper got away from him that ultimately got him thrown in the pit. You can just tell how insanely powerful he is and his design is so unique. It’s a shame *spoiler* that he got killed so unceremoniously killed by Hydraxon
Such an underrated set. Maxilos & Spinax take the spotlight for a lot of people, but Nocturn deserves a lot of credit too, and that color scheme really nice
I love how many titan sets are out for this year, combined there are 6 in total for this year, that is a staggering amount and they are equally split up with half having Cordak blasters and Squid Launchers.
Nocturn is just such a vibrant set and fits the underwater theme so well, even the repurposed caraper head fits so well with the store, because like caraper he us supposed to be pretty dumb so it makes sense that they share the same head, and the limb diversity us really great.
One of, if not our favorite bionicle set. So many points of articulation and a great character with a great gimmick of being able to glow in the dark. Super great set for a super great year in the run. Also we got our set used for about 60 USD
I bought him recently too. I'd argue that he's better than a 7.3. I think he's this really grimey, ultra bright toy, definitely sticks out from previous titans. I think his consistency is good too, he's armoured all the way around, he looks like a warrior, rather than a haphazard beast. Can't wait for your Maxilos and Hydraxon reviews, they've gotta be the best bionicles ever got!
I love this guy! It’s a shame the aftermarket value is so high; at retail price I find him to be, without exaggeration, one of the best. Very easy to pose and fiddle with, looks great, and at only a little bit of a higher price point than the barraki (once upon a time), I think he supplements them very well
He's missing the teeth (and it looks kinda dorky lol) and I'd mention some cool recolors, having Carapar's head in translucent blue is definitely neat.
I have always loved Nocturn as a set. The glow in the dark pieces that make him like a bioluminescent deep sea creature and the colour scheme have always been super appealing to me. Funny how he's like a king-size Barraki set yet in the story he was just one of Ehlek's lieutenants.
he’s expensive but the barraki parts in blue are so sick. the spines are $10 and the tentacle & head are $15 on BL rn so he just has lots of rare parts
I never got this set but I always wished I could’ve gotten him. That color scheme looks amazing, even better than the box art. And I think you can make the glow-in the dark pieces brighter by holding them up to a bright light right before turning the lights off
Love these reviews! So nostalgic to see the sets i gushed over as a kid. Can’t wait for the next couple titan sets from that year, they’re some of me all time favs
I remember when I got Nocturn. At first stance I just bought him just "to fill the collection" but he certainly shutted my low expectations. Might be the "weakest" titan of 07, but I really enjoyed building him. Plus, nice recolors will always be welcome for MOCing. :) Can't wait for the upcoming Titans!
These have all been so awesome, and I can't wait for who's next, whoever it is! My personal favorite set from the 2007 line was always Gadunka, with that big head of his!
Nocturn was my first and only store-exclusive Bionicle set, and my first time obtaining Carapar's head piece, since I didn't obtain that one until around the end of the second quarter of the year. The webbed Piraka feet and Inika legs in lime green are exclusive to this set, as are most of the bioluminescent elements. The Metru legs, Metru hip piece and the spike in that color appear in two other sets after this, and this is the final set to have the Clawed Piraka foot in Metru blue. The tentacle in silver is exclusive, though it appears in black in two other sets later on. This was the second of two Bionicle sets to have the Technic 3M beam in lime green, though it was still used in other themes until last year...
I almost bought him back in the day, but put him down for something else. NEVER could find him after that day, and I looked everywhere! One of the sets I need to hunt down. Yeah. . . . Lol
Def one of the best set out there. Look really good. Not overdone & great colors. Bought the a used set (missing the tentacle, one sword and all the green spikes) for 15€. Good deal since the missing things are cheap as hell (didn't checked the tentacle, but honestly don't care much about it). The only set I bought to keep it. The rest I'll sell in the future. Him, Takadox & the Yellow Matoran were my fav sets from that wave when I was younger.
Something that the box shows but the instructions don't (amazing move by those lol) is that you can put clips on the thigh armor pieces to hold the squids. I really like this guy, definitely works as a slightly larger Barraki and I love how thoroughly he packs glow in the dark pieces. Also with the General Grievous comparison, I had Nocturn team up with Ehlek to fight the big constraction Grievous and steal all of his lightsabers, was such a fun time.
All-Out Brick I think every Barraki had that function, but I never used it. I never even used the squid launchers at all, just leaving them off the figures entirely.
You seem to be missing 2 white tooth pieces for the upper jaw and 2 additional lime green pieces for the top of his head. Was the set used and those pieces were missing?
This was one of the coolest looking sets for me as a kid besides umbra, that big golden dude from the piraka area and the dragon I think it's name was kardas ( 2006 had the best big sets by far) but I never got it sadly. I love the glow in the dark parts and the colors, as well as the lore I had a magazine that had a bionicle comic in it with him. My mom took them away because they were too violent😂I wish I still had them just for the nostalgia, would make me so happy to read them from time to time.
As you said, more of a Warrior than a Titan and far from the standout from the season, but I thought Nocturn had a very memorable design and cool lore. And I had a blast reusing some of his parts for MOCs.
4:35 Since I didn't have this set as a kid I can't say for sure, but I bet it glowed way brighter back in the day. It's only dim cause the set is so old lolz
Great ! Once you run out of reviews you should review or create some Bionicle revamps of characters to make them more similar to their movies counterparts, on r/bioniclelego they have a lot of great mock up for example
At 4:47 fun fact if you use a extremely bright flash like on the bioluminescence parts for long enough they will glow very very bright in the dark like a nightlight since I've done this multiple times when I was a kid with takdox 😈
A tip for anyone dissatisfied with glow in the dark pieces. BLACK LIGHT. UV rays SUPERCHARGE glow in the dark material more than any standard lightbulb or flashlight.

Hello there!
Once, long ago, Nocturn was the mightiest warrior of his civilization. That is, until he lost his temper one day, hit his home island in just the right spot, and shattered it. For his crime, he was exiled to the Pit for eternity. Over the centuries since, he has become many things -- but calmer is not one of them.

@@thevenomspino "source"?
@@wisconsinking323 of which fact?
@@wisconsinking323it’s on the BIONICLE wiki
Nocturn for the price at the time was a great value and he barely avoided the dreaded lime joints. Great video as always.
Totally agree! Thank you!
Still managed to have an axle snap off the foot of the one I got when first building him. It wasn't just joints that broke in lime D:
Out of curiosity, how have the various clear joints held up?
@@halite_g If you mean the ones from the Toa Inika and Rahkshi and Takadox and so on, they've held up very well for me. I've had one breakage of one of Takadox's limbs and that's it for me. Curiously I've had more clear Hero Factory bones break than old school ball sockets.

One of, if not our favorite bionicle set. So many points of articulation and a great character with a great gimmick of being able to glow in the dark. Super great set for a super great year in the run. Also we got our set used for about 60 USD
Honestly agree! It's so nostalgic for me now. I thought it had so much character
I'd say Nocturn is closer to the old combiner sets rather than the titan sets. He isn't a combiner set of the Barraki, but he sure feels like it.
I bought him recently too. I'd argue that he's better than a 7.3. I think he's this really grimey, ultra bright toy, definitely sticks out from previous titans. I think his consistency is good too, he's armoured all the way around, he looks like a warrior, rather than a haphazard beast.

I LOVED Nocturn back when it came out

Very easy to pose and fiddle with, looks great, and at only a little bit of a higher price point than the barraki (once upon a time), I think he supplements them very well
Luckily I found him for a great price £15 for him and five other smaller figures
He's missing the teeth (and it looks kinda dorky lol) and I'd mention some cool recolors, having Carapar's head in translucent blue is definitely neat.
Nocturn was one of those sets that I always wanted as a kid, I never got him until recently and now I feel like a kid again.
Nice! Love it!
His aesthetic is amazing. Very clean and filled out look to me.
I have always loved Nocturn as a set. The glow in the dark pieces that make him like a bioluminescent deep sea creature and the colour scheme have always been super appealing to me. Funny how he's like a king-size Barraki set yet in the story he was just one of Ehlek's lieutenants.
I was definitely not expecting this to be the first titan from 2007 to be reviewed but I’m not complaining
Nocturn: "No one insults me and lives!"
Then defeats a entire army of Zyglads. The Fact that he broke a island with his strength is terrifying.
he’s expensive but the barraki parts in blue are so sick. the spines are $10 and the tentacle & head are $15 on BL rn so he just has lots of rare parts
One of the best from Bionicle
This guy is great. I always thought he was like General Grievous in Bionicle
A fine addition to the collection
I never owned him but I am definitely a big fan of the glowy blue head piece. Just a beautiful color
I loved this set when I was a kid. Lost a bunch of pieces, but somehow none of the exclusive ones (except for the tentacle). Might rebuild it soon.
Oh man you dodged some bullets there
these reviews are really high quality! Keep it up!
Glad you like them! Thank you!
When are we getting the double mata nui mondays?
Probably a wash at this point, but the weekly ones should be consistent from here on out
I never got this set but I always wished I could’ve gotten him. That color scheme looks amazing, even better than the box art. And I think you can make the glow-in the dark pieces brighter by holding them up to a bright light right before turning the lights off
You would be kinda correct about the grievous assumption. It was confirmed that Bionicle in general took inspiration from Star Wars
This is the set I wanted the most when I was a kid. Sadly we never went to Walmart because, well, you know, it's a zoo there.
Love these reviews! So nostalgic to see the sets i gushed over as a kid. Can’t wait for the next couple titan sets from that year, they’re some of me all time favs

Can't wait for the upcoming Titans!
Feel very similar to you!
I didn’t know this set existed it looked like a combined model , the glow in the dark is cool would say is a cool set
It does have a combination vibe to it now that you mention it...
These have all been so awesome, and I can't wait for who's next, whoever it is! My personal favorite set from the 2007 line was always Gadunka, with that big head of his!

Hey, You can should be able to make the glow in the dark brighter by holding the parts up to a bright lamp before turning the lights off.
Thanks for the tip!
Dang, sad you didn't get Dante in this set, Nocturn usually comes with Dante from the devil may cry series.
Love to see the uploads, the 07' titans are great can't wait to see what you think of them
I almost bought him back in the day, but put him down for something else. NEVER could find him after that day, and I looked everywhere! One of the sets I need to hunt down. Yeah. . . . Lol
Great videos as always!
Has anybody ever said you have the _exact_ same name as a Hockey Player?
Thank you!! And yes! The former Coyote now Montreal Canadian does a great job repping our name!
So excited for karzahni, when that comes
He's a tough one to come by
@@AllOutBrick good luck that set is known for being the rarest set second maybe to Titan Mata Nui or the Bahrag
This is still my favorite set, wish I still had it
It was only $15. Great for the time, and even more astounding by today's standards
Those trans blue pieces are awesome
Def one of the best set out there. Look really good. Not overdone & great colors.
Bought the a used set (missing the tentacle, one sword and all the green spikes) for 15€. Good deal since the missing things are cheap as hell (didn't checked the tentacle, but honestly don't care much about it).
The only set I bought to keep it. The rest I'll sell in the future.

You seem to be missing 2 white tooth pieces for the upper jaw and 2 additional lime green pieces for the top of his head. Was the set used and those pieces were missing?
he always seemed like some leader of the barraki as a kid lol
I envy you,,, you get to feel the emotion of opening a bionicle again and again
Never gets old!
EARLY CREW LET'S GOOOOOO! And ye, I own this set! I remember when it came out and it was the coolest underwater monster thing.
I believe he was a Toys R Us exclusive at the time, so I'm not surprised the price is so high, glad I have him from my childhood
This is so awesome thanks for reviewing him I wanted to buy him for q while now and I was hoping you would review him soon
Glad to provide you with some extra insight on the set!
This was one of the coolest looking sets for me as a kid besides umbra, that big golden dude from the piraka area and the dragon I think it's name was kardas ( 2006 had the best big sets by far) but I never got it sadly.

My mom took them away because they were too violent😂I wish I still had them just for the nostalgia, would make me so happy to read them from time to time.
Can't wait to see karzahni and hydraxon those are my favorite from this line
Before getting one it was a meh one for me, but having one on my hands changed my opinion, now is one of my favorite titans
I can’t wait for you to get to Karzahni. The price point on that one is crazy
Yeah so I've seen.... 😅
how are you getting these bionicle sets in incredible condition ! haha even the 2002 onward sets look as if there brand new
Pridak and Gadunka are so common that nocturn is worth the recollors imo, they go great together.
He seems to be missing the 2 white tooth pieces that fit in his upper jaw....kinda derpy without them lol
This guy just had all of Barraki's gimmicks put together.
My first titan set and I love him for it. I'm sad that he's not complete
excited for gadunka coming up
cant wait to see the phantoka next , or maybe im missing one titan i used to have after the toa
Titans this wave were awesome
As you said, more of a Warrior than a Titan and far from the standout from the season, but I thought Nocturn had a very memorable design and cool lore. And I had a blast reusing some of his parts for MOCs.
I just got that set yesterday it’s awesome!!
Nice!!!
Bro underrated the best bionicle
Got lucky and found him two months ago at a local second hand Lego shop for $35, no book or box but a great price
Looks like he’s missing his silver teeth and some of the green bits on the head, I got him recently and he’s gotta be my favorite of the baraki
Really wanna see Hydraxon or Maxilos next!
4:35 Since I didn't have this set as a kid I can't say for sure, but I bet it glowed way brighter back in the day. It's only dim cause the set is so old lolz
Keep up with the amazing videos!!!!
Thank you!!
You forgot the top teeth bro. Give my boy his teeth!
I always loved these two years (2007-2008). Wait till you get to Maxilos and Spinax Christian!
I'm hype for it!
My man, i love noctorn!
You forgot to add the Toa Mahri to the Bionicle reviews playlist.
Oh shoot, thanks for the heads up!
Ive got this one, also a man that i knew found half of this robot in junkyard so i have basicaly 1,5 Nocturn.
I’m absolutely livid I never got this one back in the day. It was so cheap then 😭
why didn't you add the front teeth on the top of the head?
Just your good ole fashioned missing pieces in a used set
Great ! Once you run out of reviews you should review or create some Bionicle revamps of characters to make them more similar to their movies counterparts, on r/bioniclelego they have a lot of great mock up for example
why he gotta be so expensive ;-; I've wanted Nocturn since I was a kid and of course he's gotta be one of the crazy inflated ones
YO this is one of my chases
At 4:47 fun fact if you use a extremely bright flash like on the bioluminescence parts for long enough they will glow very very bright in the dark like a nightlight since I've done this multiple times when I was a kid with takdox 😈
The most vibrant creatures tend to be the most deadly.
Thanks Toa, you're up next week
I got him 90% complete at a flee market for 3 dollars (he’s only missing the squid ammo)
That is so cool and awesome
My favorite titan! A shame about the lime joints.
So who’s up next hmm? Hydraxxon? Maxilos and Spinax?
🤷♂️
Bionicle Ignition Trilogy:
Nocturne.

How had I missed this one?
The algorithm is malfunctioning
Man, I'm so lucky, i got most of his parts (only like 20 cheap missing) for about 10 bucks.
Wow!!
Takadox also glows in the dark :D
🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
I think these silver leg stability pieces mark a titan set
Forreal!
Love this guy but he’s really expensive nowadays. Got him anyways :D
are there
this big golden one ?
Where do you buy these sets?
General Grievous was not the first character to have multiple arms/swords, see the Indian gods for example
Two infamous words "lime green"😮😮😮😮😮
Where is a teeth pieces on the top?
Where buy the sets of bionicle?
Where the hell did you get these sets??? I can't even find them, even used ones from East Asia?
Bricklink/Ebay/Mercari!
