Honestly I wanted the Bohrok-Kal way more than the original Bohrok as a kid. I just thought the new silver parts were so much cooler
Yeah same I like how robotic and metallic they look
SAME
I felt the same way. The designs on their head plates were aesthetically pleasing.
i just thought they were less colourful and charming
Nah
It's interesting how much attention this series brings to the combination models. Most Bionicle fans I know, myself included, don't factor those into their opinons of a set at all. The base models are what matters and they succeed or fail entirely on their own merit. (For this reason, the word "base model" is almost never used; it would be redundant.) Your unique focus on the combos definitely adds a lot to this already impressive review series!
I never paid any attention to them at all either when I was younger, I was always focused on what the picture on the package showed off not the combinations. When I decided to do this review series it felt like an important thing to include, almost all of the additional models have a place in the lore and expanded an already wide open universe for me. They're hit and miss sometimes, but when they hit they really make a set stand out
@@AllOutBrick Good call
@@ossianback I don't disagree, but I believe it is important to put a solid asterisk here on the first 6 years of Bionicle or so, as not only did the amount of combo models go down, so did their quality. Not to mention that after 2006 and starting in 2008 particularly (ignoring any combos with 07' lime joints), there is no viability to making any of the combo models due to the fragility of the joints. I think comparing the 01' combo models to the single 2010 combo in that monstrosity Gaardus illustrates the change in direction away from putting any budget into the development of combo models compared to the more technic based years of Bionicle, a real shame really. If I could change anything about Generation One, it would have been better joints in the later years and the continuation of creative and impactful combo models in the story.
The interesting thing is that because these sets are essentially clone sets based on the Bohrok, you don't even need them to build the new combiners, you can just use the original Bohrok to build them. And of course it works vice versa too! This grants even more playability without having to buy additional sets.
Come on. How much of a fanboi can you be?
They're selling essentially the same set 12 times and you think that's good, because then instructions for other models are more general?
@@MrCmon113 No, what I am saying is that as long as you have any 3 Bohrok, you can build 4 different combiners and I believe that on its own is good value. I don't like them releasing 12 clone sets either but I understand why they released the Kal (they wanted to have sets out and did not have anything else at the time).
@@BenjaminsBay not to mention they're on financial turmoil at the time, it was better to reissue their one of the best selling wave. It was a cheap move, but pretty sure the Kal kinda relieved Lego a bit lol
Even though they looked almost exactly the same as their original counterparts, I can understand why LEGO decided to play it safe and release the Bohrok-Kal. Personally, I like the Bohrok-Kal better than the original Bohrok. Something about the shields and silver accents works really well with the Bohrok design IMO. Also loved how they fit into the storyline, each having their own unique "personality" and "powers" similar to the Toa, unlike the previous Bohrok, which were basically mindless robots being controlled by a hivemind.
@Tesla-Effect and because the mata and regular bohrok sold out really fast, the only set i found back then was Gali mata, so Lego basically did a reissue with upgrades so you wouldn't feel as if you missed a lot, i got Kopaka Nuva and Gahlok Kal and i honestly didn't miss the mata and bohrok. I'm thankful to Lego for that.
@Tesla-Effect The Nuva comes with new armor pieces and weapon redesigns with extra functionality.
@@petera.michaelsen4657
They released the same thing 12 times, because they knew that children would badger their parents for them anyways, so they don't have to think of anything new.
Back then, the Bohrok were so cool, the face lift was good enough, imo. It's actually really cool if you went all in, got a small army of normal Bohrok and then a silver one as sort of leader of the pack.
Gotta catch 'em all! Bohrok-Kal!
144 Krana!
Gahdok Kal was the second Bionicle I got as a kid (first was Gali Nuva), and didn't find out that there were older versions until much later, so it's hard for me to think of the Kal sets as rehashes
Ah, yes. I remember skipping most of the original Bohrok (sans Tahnok), but MAN! These Kal were the coolest things to me as a kid!
The Kal almost feel like they should’ve been limited edition Bohrok rather than their own separate wave of sets
Well yes, but actually no
It felt like the bohrok-kal were made as a filler arc while the bionicle mask of light was being made.
Not a bad set but, it had so much more potential unused.
2003 was a great year for bionicle. Keep up the quality content homie ✌✌
I cannot wait to get to some of the sets in this year/wave, some really awesome stuff ahead of us
The best year 👌
@@0066. you forgot to mention the story of 2003, the Mask of Light movie and the complete hype around Bionicle in 2003 including Nike, Colgate, McDonald‘s collaborations and so on. Damn, it just was the peak of the whole Bionicle saga and the year I love the very most
I loved the revamped sets. I was absolutely stoked for their intense colors and aggressive silver weaponry. They just seemed so regal and dangerous. There can be beauty in simplicity -- plus, as an avid MOCer, I always loved part recolors.
Pahrak Kal is one of my favorite Bionicle sets, if only for the fact that I was able to get him in 2007ish and he was the only Bohrok I had for a decade and Bohrok are great.
I'll always defend the Kal because the Bohrok are such a cool shape and design that a rerun with new colors is still better than a lot of post-Inika builds.
Agreed.
Thank you for more nice set shots. Your camera makes everything so sweet with rich color.
Gahlok-Kal was the first Bionicle set I ever obtained, even if it was in July of '04 as a birthday gift. Around three and a half years later, I obtained a copy of Kohrak-Kal which had a mini-CD Rom-which was something that had been circulated since certain prints of the Toa Mata. At that time, I had a friend who had Levahk-Kal, almost obtained in '04. It's worth noting that the Bohrok limbs in black, brown and Mata green are exclusive to their respective sets as are the Electricity Shields on Tahnok-Kal and the Plasma Shields on Pahrak-Kal. The ones in Mata blue were only in two other sets after this, both of which I owned. More recently, I remember someone having a misprinted Tahnok-Kal head plate with the emblem of Gaholok Kal's Magnetism Shield, instead of what it should have.
Mata Nui mondays are just getting better and better! Keep up the great work!!
Lazy design and storytelling when it comes to the Bohrok Kal as sets, but I think there is some merit to the pieces themseves; new colors for the Bohrok limbs and silver shields are great for MOCing imo
Sliver sockets are probably the most useful piece from those sets when it comes to MOCs. Although shields are not that far behind.
The storytelling of the Kal was so good in the books. They had to plot-device them away at the end but up until then they were fantastic
@@coleG112 I meant Storytelling through set design rather than the lore behind them; they’re supposed to be elite Bohrok but they’re merely just recolors instead of an upgraded design. Don’t get me wrong I still enjoy them but I understand the community’s general dislike for them as sets
@@CavEmptKing Ooohh gotcha. Yeah that's definitely true.
Yeah, the Bohrok Kal Arc is probably the overall weakest part of the Mata Nui Saga. The Kal themselves were really cool characters and the plot point about stealing the Nuva’s powers is amazing (although the Nuva Symbols almost make them feel like a downgrade from the Mata). However, the Kal’s set designs and the Kanohi Nuva collecting plot feel like lazy rehashes, and we didn’t even get cool gold Kanohi Nuva
Been waiting for this one
I remember me and my sister collecting all 6 of the Bohrok Kal at the beginning of 2003. Little did we know, my Kohrak Kal set came with a rare white-metal Krana Kal.
Another week, another great episode of Mata Nui Monday! Thanks so much for these great videos!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bohrok are, and always will be, my favourite Bionicle models.
I'm a simple man. I see Bionicle sets being reviewed, I subscribe.
Personally I prefer the silver accents over the original Boh Rok. Mainly because it makes them feel different personality wise. The og were the core elemental and colours but yk, also just plain robots, while the Kal had their own personalities and their design really shows that imo. The only thing I dislike about them is the head top, as the symbol feels a little small and there's a lot of silver. It just makes it feel empty and unfinished but that's just my opinion.
Finally been waiting for this
A generous score in my opinion. The only good thing were the new shields, that were used in future sets.
Can't wait for you to review Metru, Inika, and Mahri sets. Really nostalgic and though flawed, still awesome to play with
Oh my god memories flooding back 😂 i had the black one with green fangs for sure
Tahnok kal:Electricity
Kohrok kal:Sonic
Nuhvok kal:Gravity
Lehvak kal:Vacuum
Gahlok kal:magnetism
Pahrak kal:Plasma
A team of six bohrok souped up in silver,ready to re-awaken the Bahrag
Six new breeds of bohrok,six new reasons to hide
I appreciate the extra B-roll on this one
I think you missed 3 combos. There was a combo with phoatu and onua nuva with the same colour bohrok kal and tahu nuva also combined with the white bohrok kal. There odd looking combos but it’s the first and I think only time there was a combo from 2 different set years
recommend that the set's get a visual comparison with those of similar nature (bohrok & kal) & with the current toa (toa of light with rakshi-staff wielding snakes)
I don't think there is a way to fix the color scheme. There is just so much silver that secondary elemental color would just make them look... Weird...
It would be nice to get inverted color scheme tho.
Also, I actually like the color scheme since they're artificial bohroks. Them being dominated by sliver, instead of having matching colors to Toa fits, in my opinion.
Also, I love how Kaita are basically immovable shield and ever piercing spear. That being said, I would prefer if the smaller one had arms in the same colors. It would be possible if maybe arms were brown black, instead of one arm was black, one brown.
I've been looking forward to this .o.
-Count Dooku
This just showed how great at marketing someone at LEGO was. Pretty much selling the same model 12 times haha
Can't wait for the Rahkshi and some of the good ol' 2003 titans. It was a blast being a Bionicle fan back then, especially for the revolution brought by the Rahkshi: F-ing KNEES!
My tall combination model worked fine as a kid
Just got Tahnok-Kal but the crest is a misprint and it's bothering me ☹.
I'll have to order a replacement piece.
I wanted these as a kid, but now I prefer the original Bohrok because we can see the Krana from the transparent head. LOL
Awesome
Ive always been a big bohrok kal guy, and i love the idea of a bohrok kal va
You can moc then hehe
I feel like the bohrok kal is like the swat team of the bohrok swarms
This is really off topic, but I really like your jacket.
What's it made of? :)
Where do you get these sets in such good condition and stuff
The Kal would have looked better if the limbs were silver and the hands/feet were in their elemental colour. Would have made the silver looks more like a primary colour and the elemental colour look more secondary, but would have looked clean
Are you going to do the Lego Bonsai Tree soon? Or are the sets placed in the background just for viewing?
Yes, the Bonsai Tree is coming up very soon! I've been stacked with a lot of school work recently and have only been able to get done the Mata Nui Monday videos each week
@@AllOutBrick Oof, I feel you bro.
Excellent review! 👌 By the way, what's the song's name?
Thanks Alejandro! The song is called Real Movements by Ben Fox. He's got some great stuff on Artlist
I dont think the bohrok kal really hit the stores in my country when they were first out, didn't have the chance to get any back then :<
Glad i have some of them now tho
Wait did you get them all unopened? The blue one isn't supposed to have a black axle for the eyes, if bricklink is correct at least
@Marcus Busse yeah you're right. At 2:50 he was talking about a black axle and then showed Gahdok with a black axle in the eyes but that's just shadow I guess
I wish their stores to buy. the bohrok and rashidi are favorites
I always liked the characters of the Bohrok-Kal. It reminds me of the New Dalek Paradigm from Doctor Who.
Awesome characters, agreed. I wish we got them with the same lore but larger, bulkier Bohrok rather than the carbon copy they came out with
Im pretty young do i didnt reach this kind of bionicle but sadly the series is now discontinued so that sucks
yeah but the black one was my only bohrok ever and that one looks especially good
I’m drunk and debating going on a bionicle shopping spree
Like a lot of people I'm sure, I was too young when these came out to notice how boring they were. The combination sets - at least relatively speaking - are amazing, and I had never seen them before. I'd definitely just keep them in that form; they actually manage to somewhat distinguish themselves from the original Bohrok.
If the Bohrok Kal came out immediately after the original i think they would have gone over better
Even as a kid, I found the Kal to be repetitive, which I why I only asked to get one set back then. The Rahkshi were definitely a step-up.
Like the five mystic ninjas who served the Demon Shredder in the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Bohrok-Kal are the heralds of the Bahrag Queens and will stop at nothing to free Cahdok and Gahdok.
Some of the head plates were misprinted with incorrect weapon miniature.
It's actually more than just the print of the weapon surprisingly. Tahnok Kal can come with a Pahrak Kal print but in red, and Lehvak Kal can come with a Tahnok Kal print in green. The former is really easy to spot on misprints because of Pahrak pattern's distinctive Y shaped scales.
@@butterflyknifexxxx2 Yes, this is what I meant the plate in proper colour, but wrong weapon. Or the proper weapon, but wrong colour but in the set of the same colour.
Hey! A new background. Or at least the color
Same lights and equipment! Just decided to switch up the layout of them to produce a new look
using the rahkshi's pearl colors instead of silver might have made them more unique from eachother
That would've been a really interesting look! Definitely would have separated from the body
Pahrak kal was my first bionicle, lost the krana on day one
Why would you not want another 6 bohrok? As you said in your bohrok video «i would like to buy 10 of each of these» now imagine that but you get variations so you have a swarm with different patterns and even the possibility of creating your own colour combinations
i subscribed
Idk what’s more stressed, the rubber bands on the left Kaita-Kal or me looking at them
Why only 3k? Why not 100k??
This channel deserves a LOT more love
Also the editing and the effort is *Quality*
We're going to get there, determined to! One video at a time, I have a TON of content planned for the remainder of this year. Right now only Mata Nui Mondays are consistent because of semester coursework, but so much more is on the way soon
@@AllOutBrick Keep pumping out the content, and I’ll have fun watching while homework
The journey is just beginning
@@AllOutBrick yep the real journey is when the bahrag come into my room and snap my phone away with their mouths. Hopefully the onua claw teeth won’t be damaged
*Hopefully*
Bohrok-Kal = D tier (I prefer the OG. The Kal are great for mocing but, it's nearly the same molds.)
Brother Im so sorry but I have to heavily disagree with you on the color scheme. Maybe I'm biased but I LOVED the color mixed with the silver as a kid and I still love it as an adult. I think they look cooler than the original Bohroks. Again, I might be biased but I will die on this hill. I think they look INCREDIBLE.
Вроде для Японии был своя сборка борок-кал коита. если не ошибаюсь.
I had these sets before.
Bionicle:
Bohrok-Kal:
Tahnok-Kal.
Gahlok-Kal.
Nuhvok-Kal.
Pahrak-Kal.
Lehvak-Kal.
Kohrak-Kal.
The Kal kind of reminds me of the cult of Skaro from Dr. WHO
Uncreative as they were, the Bohrok-Kal were still for a long time the only full team of 6 individual enemies that were unique in the canon and not part of a swarm or army like the Bohrok, Vahki, and Visorak. Even the Rahkshi had more variants in the canon than just the 6. It wasn't until the Piraka that we got another full enemy team of individuals in the same manner, and they were done a lot better there (outside of the rap).
i perfer the original over these. i like the color. but daaang that red brown combination model is actually something i want now xD
As a kid, I didn't like the Bohrok-Kal nearly as much as the original Bohrok. The silver just didn't appeal to me, and the only thing I liked about them were the CD roms that came with them.
As a kid, I remember playing with the original Bohrok, and since I treated them like living beings, upon the Bohrok-Kal's defeat, one Bohrok from each variety takes the suffix "-Kal" becoming the alpha of said variety, and a deputy to their respective Toa.
i dislike the borok call but i love the borok
Bohrok-Kal as rwby grimm!
OK, but green was my first when i was 3, sooo... IDGF :-D
I clicked so fast!
Even as an eight year old I thought "wow this is kind of a cash grab"
Not my favorite villians, and clone sets (again), but a good story year
The Bohrok-Kal were absolutely a cash grab, if we're honest; the originals were wildly successful, so they capitalized on it
They look like generals
3:14
So sad that these guys aren't as respected as the OG Bohrok.
I was 7 when these came out, had all 6 of the Bohrok, but I always preferred the Kal.
Kohrak-Kal in particular is the handsomest set in the series to me.
The Krana can't see...
yeah, the regular bohrok look better, don't they
I dont consider combo models, and they rarely come even close to an actual set.
And this combo models cant be used as an pro for the sets, as you can build them with the regular bohroks...
PS: They might be a reharsh of the originals, but for people that dont have the six originals they can be worth It (as was my case when I was a kid). Or If the person prefers their asthetics over the originals.
This was a pretty generous review but I respect your opinions and how you backed them up with the combo models. What I do disagree with however is the statement that the Bohrok Kal were impactful in the story. In my personal opinion with no disrespect, the Bohrok Kal arc is one of the weakest in all of the first generation of Bionicle. Pretty clearly the weakest in the first like, 6-7 years. This arc literally changes nothing, if it didn't exist, you would be none the wiser. It brings 03' as a whole down in retrospective in my opinion. If it wasn't for the titans and the Rahkshi in particular and not to mention the Mask of Light film, 03' would have been a relatively weak year in my opinion. I feel similarly about the Vahki in 2004, quite boring, inconsequential and forgettable. The Kal definitely set a pretty bad precedent for clone sets as the original Bohrok were excusable, this is followed by the Vahki, the Visorak and one could even argue the Inika build as a whole, a prime example of this being (as much as people hate to admit it, myself included) the Piraka. There is definitely a difference between a team cohesion and just a part for part clone.
Laziest design ever
Bigtime swing and a miss by TLG. A more advanced, bigger Bohrok would have been so much better
disagree with your taike on the looks... as a 5 year old I felt the silver was SICKKKK it was beyond fuckin cool to me how silver paired with their original colors
I still think these Kal Bohroks are a rip-off. It's a silver re-paint of the Bohrok from a year ago.
I disagree these these look 1000x better.
Hated the Bohrok-Kal story in the comics and to me they are just really dumb villains to where even the Bahrag called them out by calling them fools. The Kal story just pulled the cubes out of nowhere like there was no mention before.
Are you even a true Bionicle fan if you can't build a Bohrok with your eyes closed?
The first piss poor excuse 9f a bionicle set, still 6/10 tho
This set was little more than a lazy re-color. But I still owned them all. xD
Bohrok Kal amazing figures meanwhile their arc is basically filler
what no krana? disappointing, nice b-roll, poorly "written" review descriptionwise
