The Inika's structure was largely disliked among fans, as they simplified the building process in many ways and did not boast the functionality of earlier sets.

Community Response
The Inika's structure was largely disliked among fans, as they simplified the building process in many ways and did not boast the functionality of earlier sets. In addition, the masks released that year were incompatible with all previous head pieces and could only be worn with the 2006 Inika heads. This made it impossible to give the Toa any eye color besides green without modification. As a result, nearly all Kanohi produced in subsequent years were compatible with 2004 Metru heads. This continued until the end of Generation 1 in 2010.
Trivia
- Toa Hewkii was the first released Stone-associated set not primarily brown in color; this change was made due to historically poor sales of brown sets. All future Stone sets would follow this trend and feature yellow or orange instead of brown; brown sets would not again be released until the tan-colored Vorox and Zesk of the Sand Tribe in 2009.
