Enemies are in for a shock! Toa Inika Hewkii can beat an enemy with the power of his stone-lightning blasts, laser axe or zamor launcher – or he can use his Kanohi Sanok, the Mask of Accuracy, and turn virtually anything that can be thrown into a weapon! *Includes a zamor sphere launcher! *The Toa of Stone’s laser axe lights up with a strobe effect!

Hewkii's hyper-powered vibra axe cuts through solid rock as if it were butter, while its vibrating head can split any object in half in milliseconds. The chain comes in handy when rock climbing.

Set Information

The Toa Hewkii set was released in early 2006 as one of the six Toa Inika sets. The set contains sixty-two pieces, which can be combined with parts from 8728 Toa Hahli and 8729 Toa Nuparu to create Toa Jovan.

Features

Hewkii carries a Zamor Launcher that can be used to launch the spheres included in the set. A magazine allows the launcher to hold up to four spheres at once.

When a button on Hewkii's Laser Axe is pressed, its core will flash with red light. This feature is powered by three LR41 batteries.

Hewkii is additionally equipped with a climbing chain.

Collectibles

Hewkii wears a titanium-colored Great Kanohi Sanok. The set also contains four red-orange Zamor Spheres.

Trivia

• Toa Hewkii was the first Stone-associated set that was not primarily brown in color. This change was made due to historically poor sales of brown sets. Many future Stone sets would follow this trend, featuring yellow or orange colors mixed with gray or black.
  • In the Voya Nui Online Animations, Toa Hewkii is erroneously colored brown.
• The orientation of Hewkii's thigh armor pieces varies between depictions. The box art, Voya Nui Online Animations, and Toa Inika Commercials depict it orientated with the "bulged" part upwards like the other Toa Inika, while the instructions manual and product photos depict it orientated the opposite direction. This orientation can also be seen on a prototype of the set.
