Product Description

The following is a product description taken directly from LEGO. View the source here
No power can resist Vorahk!
From the exciting new direct-to-video movie BIONICLE: The Mask of Light, here come the Toa Nuva's greatest foes: the Rahkshi. These "sons of Makuta" have been unleashed on the island to find the Mask of Light and stop the coming of the Seventh Toa!
Vorahk's staff can drain the energy of any foe -- and add it to the might of this Rahkshi! Not even the powerful Onua Nuva can stand against him. Will the day of the Seventh Toa end before it has even begun?

Set Information

The Vorahk set was released in summer 2003 as one of the six Rahkshi sets. The set consists of forty-five pieces.

By combining pieces from Vorahk with 8587 Panrahk and 8590 Guurahk, one can build the Rahkshi Kaita Vo. Two other models feature Vorahk, one using the same three Rahkshi sets, and the other using Turahk instead. The version using Turahk was released in a 2003 Korean LEGO magazine with instructions.

A limited edition version of the set later available at Target stores contained a Shadow Kraata.

Features

By turning a knob in Vorahk's back, its torso will move from side to side, swinging its Staff of Hunger.

Vorahk's canister is designed to have its decals peeled off to display the Rahkshi stored inside. The canister's bottom, when turned over, features six small holes that the peg in the bottom of a Kraata can fit into, so the Kraata can be displayed.

Some copies of the set included a Vorahk Mini Promo CD.

Collectibles

A rubber Kraata Vo, randomly chosen from one of the six main stages, was included in the set.

Some later Vorahk sets include one of the six variations of Shadow Kraata instead of the original Kraata. This limited edition set was available exclusively at Target stores.
