They were blue in the animations until they changed to match the set. Also blue in:
-JTO
-The BIONICLE.com story section (“Ekimu’s Mission” I think)
-The comic on MMvSG
-Arguably the blue eyes behind the MoCr in all promotional material are Ekimu’s
Anyway, I’m not really sure why I care. I suppose it’s because Ekimu’s appearance was one of the first things established in G2, then they changed it for the set, causing it to look terrible with the MoCr on…
I wish they had more eyestalk colours. It would allow for issues like these to be fixed (trans. dark blue would work too), lets the Toa feel even more unique, and allows for more MOCing potential.
Because he had yellow eyes in the animations. Yellow eyes last year for his set, yellow eyes this year. It’s consistency.
That isn’t a fact, though. I have no idea why they all have blue eyes but that does NOT make this idea any more fact. The Toa had different eye colors last year. Do you mean to tell me that Gali 2015 was ALSO evil? That Onua was evil?
Ok, I don’t really want this to go on any longer, but I’d just like to comment on a few things:
I understand the consistency, but this point is irrelevant since the Toa’s eyes are inconsistent with last years (most of them anyways).
My bad here. This is what I had assumed for a long time and I forgot it hadn’t been confirmed.
Obviously not. Some colours seem to represent different things this year compared to last year, even in different waves; the trans-neon yellow seems to represent being under the control of Umarak, much like in the summer 2015 wave the trans-neon orange represented being under the control of Kulta.
In the end, I made a mistake, please don’t take it the wrong way. But I think we can all agree on this:
Changing topic completely, does it disturb anyone else that the stickers on 2016 Kopaka’s shield go partly over the moulding indentations on the pieces?
So that there’s a tiny section of sticker not actually stuck to anything, gradually collecting dust that floats by. And one day a fibre will stick there and it will be visible…
For this wave, he’s at number two for me, right behind the destroyer. Funny, coz I freakin hated it at first. But I dunno, he’s got a cool function, that purple is sweet, and I like the idea behind it.
