In set form, Wairuha Nuva is comprised of 86 pieces. Three parts fewer than the previous year's version comprised of Gali, Lewa and Kopaka's Mata forms (8533, 8535 and 8536), even though two of the three component sets have more pieces than the sets of their prior incarnations. This model features ankle articulation by lieu of black "Voodoo balls" in its feet-which come with four of the Toa Nuva, despite the fact they actually aren't used at all in the construction of those composite figures. When TTV released an overview of all of the 2002 alternate and combiner models in February 2020, it was questioned as to why Wairuha Nuva is "short and stocky" when he doesn't encompass any of the shorter Toa Nuva.
