Nokama

Tina brought me back the coolest Lego from Disney. It is part of the Bionicle Technic set.

There is a whole storyline behind these little guys. "Once a paradise, Mata Nui has become a place of darkness and fear, ruled by the deadly Makuta. Now six mighty heros, the Toa, have come to gather Masks of Power and challange Makuta."

I love their samurai-like names and bio-robotic design. Mine is Nokama. She is a Turaga, who are protectors of the island villages. "Turaga Nokama is the protector of Gali's legend. She knows more about the ways of the oceans and rivers than anyone but Gali herself. Nokama has a reputation for resolving disagreements and bringing the Turaga together with her practical logic. All of the Turaga respect the way she listens to all sides of any discussion."

This goes on and on. The backstory is quite detailed. Of course I want everyone now. This could turn out like the Star Wars lego problem.

Currently my Turaga is beating the stuffing out off the little aliens standing on my Wacom Tablet.
