Set Information

The Pakari Nuva was initially released in black in the Onua Nuva set in 2002. In the same year it was released in the colors of the six Toa Nuva in a set containing two random Kanohi Nuva and three random krana. In 2003, it was released in silver in a set containing two random Kanohi Nuva, including the less-common silver variants, and three krana-kal.

The Adaptive Armor version of the Kanohi Pakari Nuva was released in summer 2008 as a black piece included with the Onua Mistika set. This form of the mask, along with the rest of this particular Tahu set, is adapted to a swamp environment.
