Product Description

The following is a product description taken directly from LEGO. View the source here

The Power Lies Beneath! When the Toa are exposed to the strange energies of protodermis, they are transformed into the mighty Toa Nuva! With new powers, new armor, and new tools, the Toa Nuva are fully prepared for any threat to their island home. But will the power of the Toa Nuva save Mata Nui... or shatter it forever? The ultimate undersea power! The most agile and acrobatic of Mata Nui's heroes, Gali Nuva lives under the sea and uses her powers to protect the island from Makuta's servants. Her aqua axes help her clear the toughest underwater obstacles, and can even be used as fins! Turn the wheel on her back to move her arms.

Set Information

The set packaging for 8570

The Gali Nuva set was released in September 2002 as one of the six Toa Nuva sets. The set consists of 44 pieces.

A promotional comic was included with at least some copies of the set.

By combining pieces from Gali Nuva with 8567 Lewa Nuva and 8571 Kopaka Nuva, one can build Wairuha Nuva using instructions provided at the end of the manuals for the three sets.

The set was included in the collection set K8572 Toa Nuva Collection.

Features

Turning a gear in Gali Nuva's back causes her to swing her Aqua Axes up and down. Her Aqua Axes can also to attached to her feet and used as flippers. The set could be configured with both arms connected to the gear system, or with one arm being able to be rotated freely using an axle-pin. In the latter case, a left-over 3-length axle and small gear could be used to lock the gear function.

A third, additional axle half-bushing piece was included in the set's piece count, though it is not required for any official configuration or combiner model.

The set's canister was not given storyline role. Much like those of the Toa Mata sets, the canister lid could be used for displaying masks.

Collectibles

Gali Nuva wears a blue Kaukau Nuva.
