Trivia

  • A prototype of this set was shown at New York Toy Fair during 2008, and used the shield piece from 8690 Toa Onua and 8696 Bitil attached to the technic connector on the back of the figure. It is unknown if this piece was an intentional part of the prototype and removed in favor of the combination gimmick, or if the figure was assembled incorrectly.
