Instructions


Spiriah is a combiner model portraying the Makuta of Zakaz. The model was first revealed in the January 2008 LEGO Magazine, but instructions for it were available only on BIONICLE.com.

Set Information

The Spiriah model uses pieces from 8686 Toa Lewa, 8691 Antroz, 8944 Tanma, and 8947 Radiak.

Features

Spiriah features a Midak Skyblaster and a Tridax Pod, which can both fire projectiles. However, the model only has a Tridax Pod to promote the feature.[1]

The model also has the ability to combine with smaller 2008 figures. It includes a non-canon, maskless figure to demonstrate this ability.[2]

Collectibles

Spiriah wears a dual molded red-and-black shapeshifted Great Kanohi Jutlin and includes four silver Zamor spheres.

Trivia

  • A couple of discrepencies can be found between the promotional image for Spiriah, and the instructions:
    • The Matoran model uses black Rahkshi lower legs in the instructions; however these are not included in any of the component sets. In the promotional image, the model instead uses the black Piraka lower legs from the Antroz set.
    • In the promotional image, the Midak Skyblaster is attached directly to figure's arm, while the instructions show a connector serving as Spiriah's hand.
