Set Review #38: 8910 Kongu Mahri

Next we have our first Toa Mahri review, I'll start with Kongu, who was the last Mahri I got.

THE PARTS: Kongu has some Metru Green armor pieces, Gray Vahki and Toa Metru legs. One interesting piece is Kongu's "eyes", which are similar to the Metru eyes, but they have a plus slot insead of a back, this is used to build some kind of bulb onto Kongu's head.

THE CORDAK: Kongu has two Cordak launchers, with a ton of red ammo (the only color corday are made in).

THE FEATURES: Kongu's only feature is his two Cordak Blasters, which are far better than the Squid Launchers, which were seen before them.

The Cordak are placed are Placed in the six slots on the blaster, and can be fired rapidly. They work well, though not as much as the Midak Skyblasters or Zamor.

The main problem with the Cordak is that the missiles do not always fire if you don't press the button hard enough.

THE CONSTRUCTION: Kongu was probably the most Original of the Mahri, he has a whole new body design body design, which was later reused for Toa Phantoka Pohatu in 2008, and it does fit a Stone Toa better than a Air Toa.

THE STORY: Kongu was one of the Six Toa Inika who traveled to Mahri Nui to chase after the Mask of Life. The mask transformed them all into the Mahri, so they could survive underwater, where they faced the Barraki, the "Spiny Piraka" (as I mentioned in the Zaktan review), Gadunka, Hydraxon, Makuta Teridax in the form of Maxilos, and much more.

They destroyed the stone cord connecting Voya Nui to Mahri Nui, and were transported back to Metru Nui.

THE MASKS: Kongu has the Mask of summoning, which is a pretty good looking mask.

THE COLORS: Kongu has just enough Metru Green to balance out his Gray, and it turns out quite well, unlike Lewa Phantoka, who had more Gray than green.

FINAL SCORE: Toa Inika Kongu was one of my favorite Inika, but the Mahri version of him is not near as good.

First, he is built more like a Stone Toa (the Mahri did have a strange way of having building styles more suited for different elements), Next, Kongu has no regular weapon, only two Cordak blasters.

Lastly, Kongu isn't too bad of a set, he is actually better than some of the other Mahri, like Hewkii, but not quit as good as some of the Barakii or Piraka.

Kongu's final score is just behind that of Zaktan's; 6.8/10
