Product Description

The following is a product description taken directly from LEGO. View the source here
Powerful rulers of the Bohrok!
The Bahrag twins lurk beneath the surface of Mata Nui, protecting the secrets of the Bohrok swarms. If their snapping jaws were not enough, they also possess great mental abilities and the elemental powers possessed by all of the Bohrok. The Toa have never faced an opponent like this! Press the lever to make them bite, or strike them in their one vulnerable spot to disable their attack. Includes both Cahdok and Gahdok.

Set Information

The set box

The Cahdok & Gahdok set contains 630 pieces, and was first released in June 2002 in America, and in August 2002 intentionally, alongside sets 8556 Boxor and 8557 Exo-Toa.

Instructions for an alternate model were also included, depicting a four-legged beast.

Features

Pulling a trigger in either Cahdok or Gahdok's torsos causes them to lunge their heads forward and snap their jaws. A portion of their chests are attached to a pin that, if removed, prevents the Bahrag from attacking, as if incapacitated. This feature could be used together with the "hook arm" of 8557 Exo-Toa.

Reception

8558 Cahdok & Gahdok's score on Brick Insights indicates generally positive reviews. BZPower co-owner Jon was critical of the repetition between the two included models, but ultimately praised the play value and action features, particularly the snapping jaws.
