Dark master of dimensions! Once he was a loyal guardian of the Matoran and Axonn’s best friend, but now he has turned evil! Powerful enough to defeat six Toa with one blow of his double-bladed weapon, Brutaka alone is as great a threat as all the Piraka combined! He wears the Kanohi Olmak, the Mask of Dimensional Gates, which can be used to transport a target to another location or even into another dimension! *Brutaka stands over 10" (over 25cm) high! *Includes gold-colored armor and elements! *Double-blade is 10" (over 25cm) long! *Includes Mask of Dimensional Gates!

Set Information

The Brutaka set contains 193 pieces, and was first released in summer 2006. Parts from Brutaka can be combined with 8733 Axonn to create Botar. The two sets can also be combined with 8764 Vezon & Fenrakk to create Vezon & Kardas.

Features

Brutaka, along with the other large sets released in 2006, introduced an axle-and-cylinder assembly to add support in the set's legs. The friction between axle and cylinder allow Brutaka's legs to hold more weight before the set's knees buckle.

In addition to the standard range of articulation, Brutaka features a pair of posable blades that can be hidden in the set's back armor. However, Brutaka has no other notable action features.

Collectibles

Brutaka wears a gold Great Kanohi Olmak. Notably, the shade of gold featured in Brutaka, introduced in 2006, is a warmer shade than used previously. The gold used in earlier sets, such as 8596 Takanuva, 8811 Toa Lhikan & Kikanalo, and 8762 Toa Iruini, is significantly darker in color.
