The LEGO BIONICLE community is reacting well to the new GWP

With a few days passing since the reveal of the new LEGO BIONICLE gift-with-purchase, the community has embraced the build.

With a reference in 11021 90 Years of Play in 2022 and the potential of a new official set via BrickLink, the online BIONICLE community has embraced the LEGO theme’s latest official return with 40581 BIONICLE Tahu and Takua available soon with qualifying purchases.

“They really didn’t have to recreate this poster but I’m so glad they did”, says NairdaNui, referring to the following poster from the instructions and the early days of the theme, but with Takua in place of Jala. That poster and more details can be found in the set’s instructions.

Much like Classic Tahu, this new style of BIONICLE figures has inspired some members of the community to imagine the other Toa and more characters at the same scale, including Kopaka from Vivian. In the comments, explores a different method of representing his unique mask.

Another similar reaction from the community compared to Classic Tahu from 2022 is the creation of artwork based on the GWP figure, with artist Bento quickly reimagining the model in a more dynamic form. The recent concept drawing from designer George Gilliatt for Classic Tahu may inspire the community too.

40581 BIONICLE Tahu & Takua will be available from January 27, 2023, until February 9 with orders of £90 / $100 / €100 or more, though the themes included in this deal have yet to be confirmed.
