Aka the first wave where the poses they did on the box art weren’t blatant false advertising.
Necks, amirite.
Yeah, when I first saw them on display I was like "what the heck that's the same pose as the box art."
?????
@@Luka1180 in box's of toa Mata and nuva they showed the toa bending their knees and elbows, but they obviously can't being gen 1 and 2
Head too
The wonders of articulated knees/elbows, lol
For anyone who doesn’t know each Rahkshi represented different ways to destroy the Toa’s unity
Red represented fear
Blue represented disintegration
Green represented poison
Brown represented fragmentation
Black represented absorption
White represented anger
And if you want the names are this:
Red: Turahk
Blue: Guurahk
Green: Lerahk
Brown: Panrahk
Black: Vorahk
White: Kurahk
Disintegration is a bad thing in general, I would say.
@@epicwaba6424yea
The Black Rahkshi was Hunger Specifically, not Absorption. It made you starve to death.
So you get afraid fighting the red one, but you die fighting the blue one
I can’t believe you aren’t more popular!
@Tesla-Effect True!
And thanks for the heart All out brick! I love your channel
So 1.5k view isnt popular???......
Ikr
@@jt_mallett_ii Well compared to other RUclips channels that do bionicle reviews. Yes
7:30 the Rahkshi are one of a few sets to use "pearl" colors. Pearl black was also used in a few sets other than these, but the other colors are exclusive to the Rahkshi on the feet, backs and heads. That is why the Rahkshi feet look weird in their colors.
You actually can have them hold the staff in one hand. You can take the connector off of their back (the piece used to spin the gear function) and use that to connect the blade to the staff. Not a perfect solution but it’s something
Very clever, this reminds me of the Toa Nuva having three or so options with their back gears
Yes I always did this with them to have more movement in the arms
The movie version of them look cool and creepy at the same time
The coming of the knees changed everything. Out of the entirety of Bionicle, I think there was only one canister line that got me more hyped upon arrival than the Rakhshi (the Metru). My friend got one before I did and I straight-up asked to borrow it from him because I was so excited about them.
I've seen in the Rahkshi commercials, that regarding their staffs, you can actually remove the axle and have them with only their ends, almost like twin daggers. You can also make their feet point forward and position their staffs backward, and do a hovering motion like they do in the commericals and 'Mask of Light' film.
You're right, in the commercials and animations there are times where they carry their weapons like daggers
The Rahkshi from the 2003 bionicle movie were actually, kinda terrifying.
I always remember the scene where a toa has one pinned and it opens the face plate to screech at him.
@@theinfiniteconqueror That was the red Toa (Tahu)! He was trying to get the green Rahkshi (Lerahk) off of him!
The Rahkshi were fun when they came out. Lego tried army building with the Bohrok. The idea being you'd buy 2 or 3 of your favorite color to terrorize the Toa and their pals. It didn't take long to realize that was a bad idea and course corrected with the Bohrok Kal and really hit the ground running with the Rahkshi.
A couple things worth mentioning are the mini-CDs Rahkshi sets came with. They had a quicktime video of the Rahkshi in action, the Toa Nuva and the Bohrok Kal of the corresponding color. The mini movies could be hit or miss. Sometimes it could be elaborate (like a Rahkshi stalking Takanuva in the catacombs), but others were baffling simple like Bohrok Kal lifting a Nuva symbol. The videos really captured their creepiness.
Clicked immediately, the rahkshi have always been my absolute favorite bionicle builds
At 6:20 you mention not being able to put the staffs in one hand however you can do this! Just use the little rotation piece on the back of the Rahkshi. On the Toa sets there is a gear on the back because that's all they needed (easier to package one extra gear too), but on the Rahkshi there is a f2f adapter which you can use in place of one of the hands!
Back in the day i had over a hundred kraata of all shapes and colors and a "build your own rahkshi" kit where i could make different and unique rahkshi using colors that werent the original 6
Sounds like that big barrel they released with the mask of time disk and disk. I had that too.
The rahkshi are definitely iconic to the BIONICLE theme and I'm so happy you covered them in this video and even showcased the kaita models! As interesting as the two main kaita models are, you should definitely look into the Japanese models that appeared in other promotional material! Their instructions are a little hard to find, but they are absolutely beautiful and worth the time to build! I would absolutely love to see a video on some of these and what your thoughts are on them, and for some of the secondary combiner models for following years!
Yo thank you dude I just got Turahk at a local store and was already looking at buying Vorahk, so I think I’ll make the kaita you recommended. Good find
Ayyy, these are the figs I’m collecting rn!
Nice!
this definitely the best channel for reviewing bionicle!
Thank you!
this really takes me back to my younger days, even though I was too young the understand the Bionicle universe, I loved these Rahkshi guys. I had I believe a couple of them, not all, and I actually found Kurahk, the white one. It's cool af.
Great review, and great production quality as always.
I've still got all 6 of mine after all these years.
Just some small annotations:
The transluscent neon orange socket connector used for the eyes don't actually glow in the dark, the head mold has a hole in the top so it lets light in really easily - and of course, because it's a neon colour, it doesn't take much light to hit it to appear lit.
The little male to male technic axle connector used to actuate the gear function can be removed and instead used to connect the staff tip to the end of the long axle piece so that it can be posed with its staff in one hand.
And the new feet parts are made of the same pearly/milky plastic as the head and back shell (Also new parts for the time), whereas the socket connectors are all using the same plastic as earlier sets. I think this was a stylistic decision, and that if the placement of the other coloured and grey parts were inverted, we'd have seen a lot more of the new pearly plastic in these sets.
Yeah I think I got mixed up with the eyes because the instructions show them as if they glow in the dark
Been watching these videos for a while and it's so nice to see reviews of these classic Bionicle sets with such high production quality, really makes it feel like they released yesterday, fresh off a store shelf
That's the goal! Thank you for the compliment!
These reviews are amazing, SO excited for what's to come on your channel! This level of quality for bionicle videos means so much to the fans and those just getting into the theme. KEEP IT COMING!!
Really appreciate the kind comments! It's very satisfying to give everyone an opportunity to relive the legend of Bionicle
U can display them holding the staff in one hand. The piece u use to operate their function works perfectly to convert their staff and I don’t believe this was fully a coincidence
The blue one was the first bionicle I ever got, followed by the red and white. Legendary times. I miss being so hyped for Christmas or my birthday just for the lego sets and spending the whole day building them, or just creating my own bionicle characters.
Amazing review man, I loved these as a kid and I’m rebuying all of them again!
Once again the combo models are awesome looking. Getting hydra/centaur vibes from them which is a really neat direction. Your amazing production values aside, the focus on combo models makes your channel really stand out. Was gonna keep these guys on the backburner for a while, but after seeing this I might grab them a little earlier than I intended!
carrying Bionicle and carrying on their legacy, thank you my man
Rahkshi Vorahk (the black one) was my very first Bionicle and definitely the main reason i got into Bionicle/Lego. Until now i still have it with the cannister, instruction book, and even the little comic book. Damn what a memories, its been 20 years, time flies so fast.
I've been loving these reviews!!
Thank you!
It’s so crazy seeing these guys in 2021 it really does truly make me happy to see them again. 😁
Watched this on my TV last night so I couldn't leave a comment, but excellent video. The rahkshi are some of my all time favorites and I was pumped to see this pop up in my sub feed
Oh hey! A new recap reviewer! I'm glad to see my favourite Lego theme still getting attention 20 years after it started. :D
The productionvalue of the video is great! Keep it up
I had the blue one as a kid. I feel nostalgic
I remember I used the arms from the toa nuva and had them hold their staff in one hand for more flexibility and reach. I loved these models.
Fantastic job, as always! The Rahkshi were definitely a worthy scale up for the Toa Nuva, essentially what the Bohrok-Kal should have been. Do you plan on doing other older Lego sets, like Exo-Force?
best lego review channel out there. top of the line production quality. I hope you get the recognition you deserve
Wow, thanks!
Awesome video as always
Fun childhood story - the summer these guys first came out, I was coming home from vacation with my family, and my older sister handed me a CD to listen to as I was quite bored of the Beatles cover CD she’d given me at the start of vacation
She handed me Metallica’s Black Album, and I couldn’t help but imagine it as a badass soundtrack to an epic battle between the Rakshi & the Toa Nuva.
I’d forgotten that particular part of the story for nearly 2 decades, damn
The sets: Looks cool.
Mask of Light version: Nightmare fuel but still looks cool.
That would have been unreal to get something like that to work in these sets. Would've been an instant bump to 9.0
Another great review, you deserve 100x more views and subscribers!
Thanks! 😃
I recently got all 6 of these, so satisfying. It’s one of my favorite groups to display.
Just. Thank you for what you do man.
looking forward to your toa metru review. that to me was bionicle's biggest step forward into being constraction figures and are my absolute favorite line even to this day
The Rahkshi are possibly my favorite Bionicle villains!
mannn this was my childhood! love your videos btw.
Mine too! Glad you enjoy them
The Rahkshi are by far one of my favorite enemy line sets from bionicle. The only other one i like just as much were the Piraka.
Rahkshi were definetly my personal favourite villain designs. I think I only have one of them on display though and it's the red one, since I couldn't get Tahu as a kid.
These were the first bioncles I ever got as a kid specifically the red one first but eventually the rest. These are the reason I love bioncle!!!
4:30 considering the Rahkshi staff powers, they aren't exactly lined up with their colored Toa Nuva counterparts, but menacing powers nonetheless, as well as their Kraata powers too. Nothing elemental but very physics and health based, like Fear, Hunger, Disintegration, Poison, and so on. So in a way, if the Toa rely too much on their elemental powers, they could be tripped up by Rahkshi that could manipulate their minds or their organic parts directly.
Love your videos, mate
Much appreciated!
Man this brings back so much nostalgia
Their reveal in the movie definitely left an impression, let me tell you.
I see you made more nice sets shots with better figures action positions (but there is some issues in this case).
Your videos become better and better, keep up the good work !
First of all: I love the Rahkshi. The First Bionicle i had was Lehrahk. My older Brother stole him... then i got Panrahk.
But the Staff problem is easly fixed without useing pieces outside of the set. On the back where the gear function is you can use the axleconnector to make the staff one handed.
Other than that i can agree to your opinions on the Rahkshi.
I love this channel!
YEEEEEEEEEEES!!!! You and Zach are the truth 🙌.
Zach is an incredible content creator for Bionicle. His classic reviews are legendary and the stuff he's been working on recently is so detailed and fun to tune into!
@@AllOutBrick Exactly. Keep up the good work guys. It brings joy to my heart to see what you guys are doing. Especially these days and times. We need something positive.
Zach Kaplan?
aka Legomation Studio?
@@Official_Anonymous yup Zach kaplan.
You gotta be the best LEGO youtuber
I'm loving the content on your channel, id love to see you do a video opening some of the Kanohi mask blind bags or the krana packs!
I do have something planned with the Kanohi packs... think you’ll all really enjoy it
@@AllOutBrick Awesome
The 2002 AND 2003 of those sets seré the fiesta onda I ever has, thanks for this video
I remember when me and my sister were entered into a promotion being run by Toonami in late 2003 and both winning second prize which was one of the 6 Rahkshi sets. I got Guurahk while my sister got Kurahk. I still own those two to this day (I inherited my sister’s Kurahk).
This was my first Bionicle and made me love them!
I think the Rahkshi were the sets that were testing the waters with pose ability and then in 2004
the Toa Metru perfected the design.
I always loved these sets!
I love how clean these sets look.
Such a great design. What strikes me immediately as I see Rahkshi is the fact that they are tall (taller than Toa Nuva, IIRC), but they also hunched. Gives them this unique menacing feeling
I had these when i was a child. Good memories I loved these they look really cool. I thought the little bug host was kinda cute
Hmmm... I can't believe after 18 years, I just now realized that the Rahkshi in the official art are posed specially tailored to which Rahkshi were released together by Makuta; three of them moving, three of them standing in place.
You can display them with staff in one hand, kind of, take the piece form the gear function and stick it between axle and staff weapon and you have it in oen hand.
Plus, the weapon pieces were later heavily used, had they been full staffs, like Kohli sticks, it would be impractical.
Oh yeah I’ve been waiting for this one
Another cool function of the Rahkshi, which was demonstrated in commercials and Mask of Light, is how their legs can fold up to a sort of flight position, hovering around. The staff would be split by the long axle, and the axle would rest in another part of each hand to keep the staff ends in place and facing behind them. It reminds me of how the Toa Nuva have alternate ways to travel with their weapons or the Bohrok folding limbs to cross over rough terrain.
This channel is very good for me.
You can take out the axle connector from their backs and use that to connect the axle and the staff end piece, so the rahkshi would hold their staff with one hand. It's not as convenient to use the gear function with just the bare axle, but it still works.
Ah, the first sets I ever got. I remember getting 2 of them as birthday gifts.
These were the only ones I was able to get all 6 of. So fun to pose around and definitely the coolest bionicles I owned except for Makuta.
13:40 the fluctuation in price might also relate to their re-release as Shadow Kraata later in 2003, in which they all had purple Kraata from 1 of 6 stages. They don't show up online too often with case. And getting them used is fairly cheap because their parts were "recycled" in later creature packs up to 2005.
The shadows that cower In the depths, exactly as foretold!
This is giving me nostalgia
I remember I won the red one in a carnival and I was in 1st grade and the boys received these sets as gifts and I was the only one who got the brown one but traded it for the black since it was my fav color. I only collect Lego Star Wars but definitely gotta collect at least this wave for Bionicle.
Dude this product value is astounding
Dude I'm thinking about picking up a Vaporak set but I was sad to see you haven't done that one yet.
I grew up with all the Bionicle still love them to this day also Mega Bloks is a lot more high quality than it used to be the only reason I collect those is because of Halo kind of interesting cuz Halo and Bionicle came out at the same here
Just finished collecting these bad boys! Had all but one (Vohrak) from the original release, so it was really easy to Bricklink that last set. Also got the remaining Toa Nuva
You can use the sleeve on the back piece to connect staff to end piece to put it in one hand.
Even though 2003 is contested as being my favorite year of Bionicle, I never had any of the year's sets at the time of release. Of the Rahkshi, I only ever had Panrahk (Brown) and Lehrak (Green)-which curiously was the only complete set I had containing Mata green in its color scheme. I didn't have either of them or Teridax until between April and August of '07. My Lehrak also came with a purple "Shadow Kraata", which was part of a later print of the Rahkshi as a whole. There were also several other combiners released through Kabaya, and would be the final series of combiners released in this manner.
You can take the piece you use to actuate the gear function as a connector to make the rahkshi hold the staff in one hand
Fans: And what do you guys do?
Rahskhi: sha-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n knees, knees
It is so sad we didn’t got more variations of the Rahkshi; remember, in canon, there were 42 different kinds (the 2003 versions being the six default versions)
Even though the Piraka are my favorite Villain gang, the Rahkshi are just so damn cool and creepy.
The 6 Rahkshi combiners are the coolest thing ever and you should showcase them
These were the game changers!!
Really like those ones
In remember getting this for Christmas and being impressed with the legs and how big/tall they were but they didn't support their own weight too well. Didn't care, loved the design.
As someone who worked at Mega Blocks, I felt that comment. They really do suck haha. Also fun fact: probably because these sets were so popular at the time, they are the most common pieces I receive when I buy loose lots.. I was even able to build a combo model in just one color with all the spare parts I got!
if anyone knows a mod to stop the rahkshi's shoulder function and fix them in position? i found a way to do it before but i completely forgot how i did it
Strange what you pay attention to.
I didn't notice anything about the feet as a child, but I did notice that the larva-throwing feature made it hard to pose the head sometimes. The neck would often come loose for me when trying to pose them.
Rahkshi: only to defeat them {play function wise} is to hit their head hard enough downwards to launch the spines out and throw the Kraata
Takanuva: My mask has a cross shaped axle and is longer so it keeps my mask on so i'm basically unstoppable
My brothers and I always called the hunters from Halo 'rahkshi'. They looked so similar.
I think it may just be the rule of cool, but Rahkshi have always been my favorite bionicle sets, still my favorite to this day. To me. they were the first sets that really felt like a formidable foe for the Toa.
When he got to the feet. Did you forget the struggle they where in at that time? Lol i made the staff into daggers with a few pieces. Currently found my 30gal tub legos/Bionicle graveyard. I got almost all em. Just dont know if i can rebuild the one that came with a remote and would box each other.
memories, got gifted the green one as a kid
The translucent socket piece used for their eyes does not glow in the dark. However, it does glow under a black light, as does any other piece made in that color
