honestly, I think Krika is the best-looking figure of 2008. I've always liked that evil, kind of spidery feel about him.
@UnfaithfulServant97

He indeed is, aesthetically. But, objectively, that title should go to Bitil. He has the standard for pose ability, good and consistent color scheme minus the blaster, but it's a weapon so it doesn't really count, and a creative build(using the Karda Matoran body instead of the norm).

@UnfaithfulServant97

The three points of articulation for both the arms and the legs are distinguishable with the Inika/piraka build. It became a standard in 2006 to have these types of articulation. Of coarse, LEGO sometimes bend the rules with Gorast and Krika.

To answer your question Eljay, I never got the Makuta Mistika or even the Toa Mistika but I did get some of the Phantoka (both Toa and Makuta) an Toa Ignika
Y'know, Bittle was actually my first official Bionicle set. Also, I believe Gorast's mask power is called "Disruption," assuming nobody already mentioned it.
I appreciate how Krika gives off a ghostly skeleton kinda vibe with the bone white and red. Gorast gives off a swampy toxic green vibe which is good. Bitil gives off a yellow jacket vibe, also good.

I have a pro and a con for Krika you didn't mention: the con is that, on my set at least, the bottom halves of his claw pieces keep falling out whenever I pick him up. The pro is that, since he has the Nynrah Ghost Blaster connected to his neck, it weights his head down so it doesn't wobble as much when you have him in a pose.
I guess you could say they're joints are..... Bitil

I remember seeing pictures of the mistika Toa and machete, and not at all being interested in the Toa. The Makuta are actually pretty cool for this wave.
from the mistika I had Krika and Gali. However I had a bad habit of losing pieces back then... Krikas mask, swords, blaster, torso, and torso armor piece I lost, I have no idea how.
See, you always say that the new joints break constantly, but I didn’t have any problem with any of the new joints. They never broke or anything, they were always nice and tight, the joints I had were great for MOCing. Only one of the new joints broke for me, if anything the older joints broke on me! What about everyone else?
When I got my Makuta mistika and Phantoka I changed the hand joints for the 2015 mold
I was trying to look for Groast in the Lego store before summer 2008.

The reason I like these so much is the ccbs remakability.
I remember there being discrepancy in bitles blaster construction between the box art and instructions
I just got Gorast today and she is lovely, complete even, the only thing missing is the gimmick weapon, but I don't mind.
Gorast's mask overloads other's powers and makes those power go against their owners. Also Voya Nui Matoran Dalu's blades do the same.
bital feet were used for one of the hero factory sets just remembered that
I think these were some of the best looking villain sets, they follow the bug aesthetic perfectly, my only problem is they were built up as makuta. Aside from Krika it was fairly deflating to see that the most powerful enemies the toa had ever faced was a mosquito and a beetle.
I recently built gorast with some parts- all she's missing is her nyrah blaster (if I spelt that right..) and the "2008 unity piece" and I also have the ammo AND I'm missing a wing :/

Makuta Kanohi: Bitil: Mohtrek- Mask of Temporal Duplication. Gorast: Felnas-Mask of Disruption; Removes control of her target's power in use. Used to kill Krika and Icarax by disrupting their density shifting and teleporting, respectively. Light-draining stinger was shape-shifted on. Krika: Crast-Mask of Repulsion.
Gorast wears the Mask of Disruption (used to make powers go crazy)
I’m flattered bro
bitl was my older cousin's first bionicle
Gorast's Mask is the Felnas, and is actually the Mask of Disruption. It can throw people's powers beyond their control upon contact. Two uses I can remember are burying Pohatu in a tomb of stone and killing Icarax by messing with his teleportation.

Hate to reply to myself, but one thing I forgot to add: the light suction you mentioned is actually an entirely separate power. I'm not sure if she gained it because of her stinger or already had it and simply chose to channel it through her stinger, but the two were connected.
