LEGO® Bionicle 8923 Hydraxon | Review

- He lived, perished, and was born again. Once a member of the Hand of Artakha and the Order of Mata Nui, Hydraxon was a great warrior who at one point trained our beloved Toa Mata in combat. He was replicated by the Mask of Life when Po-Matoran Dekar attempted to destroy the mask. The replication carried over all of Hydraxon's memories, which caused Dekar to believe he was always Hydraxon.

You'd think just black, silver and spiky wouldn't make for an intense character design, but Hydraxon pulls it off in spades.
exactly, and those hands and wolverine claws, sweet.
I do like the axes used for his shoulder blades, pun intended.
A very nice one indeed!
I can’t wait till we get to my favorite Bionicle set, Maxilos and Spinax!
acuatic world
He's just so cool
I just love that Hydraxon looks like a walking armory. Like the Order of Mata Nui gave him all these weapons to fend himself, and he just decided to use them all. At once
I don’t think there’s been a single 2007 set that I haven’t loved. Hydraxon is such an amazing set! You can tell just from looking at him that he’s armed to the teeth and a serious threat to anyone who would try and oppose him or the order of Mata Nui. Also the fact that he trained the toa nuva and that he was such a threat that the Mask of Life revived him to protect it! I just love this guy so much
Hewkii?
Me 3: matoro, hewkii and kongu. They did them so wrong
@@thebatman7347 Hewkii, absolutely, Kongu, maybe, but Matoro is amazing
Out of all the silver and black sets Bionicle has, this one just fits and I honestly couldn't see him with a different color scheme
Hit the nail on the head. Sometimes the monochrome color scheme doesn't work, but in this case it's the only one that works
@@AllOutBrick did any of the parts for Hydraxon suffer any hairline fractures or broken parts?
Probably the best titan figure lego ever produced. He's not only great looking aesthetically, but also very stable and posable. Just great all around.
Axonn is another good titan as well
@@richardch.4356 brutaka will forever be the best though
@@ilsgrade8357 Axonn is better for me
@@richardch.4356 i have both. Don't get me wrong, they are both awesome and pretty close but I just prefer Brutakas mask and his lean athletic build over axonns short stocky build. But I guess that's really a matter of preference with those 2. Quality is top notch for both
I also have both plus takanuva 2008 and more
I still remember getting him for Christmas that year, I was completely blown away at just how cool he looked.
Hydraxon is still to this day in my top 10 favorite Lego sets of all time. I had him try to fight my cat all the time back then hahaha. Either way, he just looks so cool, and so does his origin story. I can definitely imagine him training the 6 Toa Mata and being the warden of the pit.
His triple-bladed arm is so cool. It's also neat how they gave him articulated fingers.
I have always been a fan of hydraxon’s head piece. Definitely agree on the 8.7 score.
Such a great head piece!
Von Nebula would like to have a word with you.
Hydraxon might be one of the most solid and well made Titan sets.
He have a very special place in my heart because he was the very first Titan ever that I got and the very first set I got when I started to collect Bionicle 3 years ago.
Glad you loved this amazing set! Can't wait for the next review! :)
It's a great weapon - sharp, perfectly balanced, accurate. But it takes more than talent and practice to use it correctly... it takes the brains to throw it at the right target. You Toa have plenty of power, but I'm not seeing much in the way of common sense. Without it, all that power isn't worth a pile of Protodites.
Can't wait to see your thoughts on Maxilos. I got him 14 years later and was blown away by how solid he is. Peak Bionicle for me
Hydraxon is another Titan I missed at the time but got more recently. Really was an unexpected pleasure to build.
HE GOT HANDS : 10/10
Hydraxon is a classic Bionicle set and a perfect example at to why 2007 is my favorite year for Bionicle period.
I distinctly remember obtaining Hydraxon as my first Mahri Nui Titan set on September 29 of 2007, as a sort of "early fall purchase" in a way. At one point, his promotional artwork caused some to think that he was a water version of Axonn somehow. He is the first Titan set to have the Inika torso in black, and along with Gadunka, sports Kalmah's armor recolored in silver. This is also true for the webbed Piraka foot in silver, but as TTV referenced, that piece technically debuted in two minifigure-scale playsets (8624 and 8894) the year before. Hydraxon is also the final set to have the Toa Metru eye stock in transparent fluorescent green, and also repurposes Lesovikk's "Air Sword". He is the second of three Bionicle sets to have the webbed Piraka feet and the rounded Inika feet in black. But one detail that perplexed TTV when they reviewed this six and a half years ago was why he has blue pin axles randomly sticking out of the bottom holes in his lower legs...
Just want to let you know watching this review inspired me to rebuild my old Hydraxon set! This was my all time favorite model as a kid. So glad you liked him too!
A great challenger for the mask of life. Great character design and feels just like a tactical cold hearted soldier
little by little I'm realizing this was probably my favorite year in Bionicle, not a single bad set so far
Pretty underrated titan, he looks the part of a jailer or better yet a professional bounty hunter
The coolest looking set of the mahri line tbh
I love the mask piece for how unique it is, although the remolded black mask from the Von Nebula set is alot more striking. Also he's pretty small for a titan set.
Hydraxon has always been one of my all time favorite sets. He looks so imposing and powerful. Perfect for the jailer of The Pit
One of my favorites. Wish I still had it though.
What a great set always wanted this dude when I was a kid. Awesome underwater spec-ops soldier build and the hands! Those (exo-force?) pieces meld so well with Bionicle.
Imo it just shows that Bionicle team still had so much potential making great sets. It's too sad that it ended that way
aah the robocop to maxilos's terminator.
Hydraxon is top 5 classiest designs in Bionicle history for me. He really manages to convey that idea of a deadly weapon master, with a ton of personality and presence despite what you'd think would be a pretty flat color scheme. And those articulated hands? Oof. I ripped that design off for so many builds.
Hydraxon is so cool I might just have to save up to get him
I absolutely think this set is worth it. Hopefully the price doesn't go up much in the near future
Always wanted this guy.
Not too late to buy em!
Love this set! I won it in a local LEGO competition. I played with it a lot because I wasn’t able to get a titan set since 2002 but it still looks amazing.
He’s one of my favorite sets for sure
So glad to see Bionicle videos in 2022!
You gave him two left hands! This guy looks really solid, I'm sad I haven't been able to find the set for a good price. However I did get a really good deal on Maxilos and Spinax (although it was incomplete, but had all of the rare parts). That set is so good, I think it's my favorite titan set. Probably the best use of the Cordak Blaster too with the shoulder mounted ball joint. Looking forward to that review!
Whoops!
It's cheaper to buy all the parts
He’s cool , He reminded me of Logan with those claws
This was my first Bionicle toy ever! It's a shame I lost him over the years.
I feel like as far as titans go, he’s kind of white bread. He has that claw hand, that’s cool and the tubes coming out of his stomach are neat but he doesn’t really have much else going for him. That’s also because the other large sets and titans of the year and the one prior all had very bombastic features maybe. Axonn’s ball joint hands, vezon’s spider, maxilos’ everything, ect. He’s a good Titan still definitely.
It's almost time for my favorite Bionicle set to be reviewed, Maxilos and Spinax
Look forward to these reviews every Monday. Keep up the 🔥 content
This was my absolute favorite Bionicle set.
2:01 Disappointed you didn’t say “HOLY GADUNKA!” but ok
Loving all your reviews so far, been following since Nidhiki. Thank you for keeping the BIONICLE spirit alive.
I really like Hydraxon, I bought him back when he was new, but it's true that he's not the "grandest" bionicle titan. He's basically just a Toa Inika with beefed up limbs and more weapons.
This is one of my favorite lego bionicle 2007 figures in the mahri series good figure to have
Man, i am going to have a hydraxon and mantax in a couple of days! I am re-watching this for more fun
I just recently got a great deal on a used Hydraxon, but it ended up missing several of the smaller parts. I can't wait to get it built and on display though - it's a badass looking model.
yeeeeees!!!the time has come!!! My all time favorite BIONICLE!!!! is my name in video games! the best possible design, colors, mask, weapons! uffff the best of all!!!!! 😭😭😭😭.
This was already a turning point in the line of best designs in BIONICLE...
Absolutely loved this set, can safely say it lived up to the hype
It is one of the most badass designs!!!
"I believe that mask belongs to me..."
Good old Chrome Dome 😁 what a cool set man.
It sure is! Big thanks for the comment on the og upload!!
@@AllOutBrick not a problem. My daughter and I watch your videos every time you upload so when I see your notifications pop up I'm quick on the draw and the video was 19 seconds old 😂 glad I was able to heads you up about the music before a few thousand people clicked on it 🤘 much love brotha. Always entertaining
That was my first titan, a decent one
I have a really funny story about this set. It all started when I ordered a huge lot of random bionicle sets off eBay, but the pictures did not show everything you got. It took forever for the package to arrive, but when I got it there were canisters with some smaller sets like the mata, nuva, borohk, metru, hordika, visorak, and even a barraki. However, there was a bag full of random sets too I saw some toa mhari and Matoran, but I opened it and pulled a random thing out. I realized it was hydraxon, a set I was going to put on my Christmas list, and I was over the moon when I got to finally have that set in hand.
I had this set back when I was 7. It still upsets me that I lost some of the pieces and only had him built for around a month before he was lost to the sea of loose LEGO pieces.
Hydraxon was one of the cool titans from 2006!
2007*
It is said that Hydraxon does not wear a kanohi mask, to which his helmet is iconic. If he were to wear a mask, he should wear the Kanohi Shelek: Mask of Silence (specifically the version worn by the matoran, Kirop) so that Hydraxon can use it against anyone who uses loud noise against him since it is said that his sharpened senses can be weakened with extreme noise.
I just built him earlier with a box of random Bionicle pieces i've had in storage for years. It's not 100% accurate, but i'm surprised I was able to mostly recreate him with the limited pieces I had.
hydraxon is an awesome set. i really wanna make a revamp of him that adds sone details like some dekar colors and some hero factory breakout cuffs so he really looks like the jailer.
Hydraxon so incredible Awesome!
The only Warrior Set I have from 2007, he looks so cool. The blue Pins are annoying and the 3long axles on his upper legs
Never owned one as a kid (I wasn't impressed by the box by comparison to the other 2007 Titans). Is it worth revisiting?
All 6 titans from 2007 were fantastic. Speaking of which, when you get to the Mad Titan Karzahni, you don't need the box. Just order the individual parts off bricklink. Because if you want him sealed, be prepared to drop at LEAST 500 bucks
Hydraxon is on the level of Brutaka, Axonn, Maxilos and Spinax, the 1st Generation, Toa Ignika... TOP TIER S!!!!
I could NOT stop looking at the gun hand being flipped...
Can't wait for Maxilos!
If Hydraxon was a Star Wars character, Cad Bane, Boba Fett, and Durge would be out of business.
He is heavily reminding me of the Celtic Predator in AvP movie, very menacing.
Hydraxon is really really cool, only negative for me is posing him cause those wolverine blades are just harder to show.
Bionicle Ignition Trilogy:
Hydraxon.
Me and my older sister used to go to our friend’s house and he had a Hydraxon figure which he wouldn’t even let me touch along with most of his toys…can’t say I blame him but it still hurt
Well that really stinks, man should've shared his Bonks
Mask so nice they used it twice (kinda thrice).
Are hero factory reviews in the cards?
Hydraxon, the one prison warden you do Not want to mess with.
mannnn I really wish I still had this guy, long long ago in a move I tossed all my bionicle :'(
Same, used to have him, then he just up and disappeared 🥺. All I have is one of his tube things lol
While I do have a soft spot for hydraxxon (he was my first titan/warrior set) after seeing all of the other titans and warrior sets I feel like he was extremely rushed due to all of the exposed technic pins and axles
Just noticed his chest armor piece looks different in the box art than it does on the figure. Weird, maybe they stuck to the old mould.
The shame on this set is that you can have 2 kinds of Sidorak's like pipe, breakable's one and absolutely unbreakable one's.
I got one weak, who cracked :/
This set is absolutely excellent, i look forward for Maxilos, you are not ready for Maxilos
I believe that mask, belongs to me
Okay Kylo
This mask Is mine!
To me Hydraxon never really looked like a legit titan. Just a toa-sized figure with extra pieces slapped on. He doesn't offer the unique builds that come with Maxilos and Gadunka, so I never quite understood him. I know other titans like Axonn can also be smaller and a bit less complex than other titans, but at least with Axonn you get all that bulk and those amazing hands, compared to Hydraxon who's rather skinny with hands that don't really function outside of basic posing. But perhaps if I built the set myself I'd appreciate him more, since that's been the case with a couple other sets.
This is highly subjective but he does have more of a “presence” in person, especially if you have him do some of the action poses in the toa mahri trailer
The Toa Nurik mask kinda looks like his it reminds me cause they both silver and got like canisters on the bottom but other than that they have their differences just remind me of it
I always felt Hydraxon needed more weapons. He just doesn’t feel well-armed enough when his entire thing was being a weapons master, and his kit had a fairly low piece to price ratio at the time.
A lot of people love the set, he’s just not my thing.
Where did you even find a new hydraxon in 2022?
I got him used for this one. But there's new ones on bricklink I bet
@@AllOutBrick Thanks!
Patiently waiting for Gadunka
I wonder how the 2008 reviews will work?
Same here, they're kinda all over the place. Probably by subtheme
Damn Hydraxon gets a 8.7. What would a 9+ set be?
Maaan... the pricetag hit me... like hit me good... Such a shame I was a kid back with no money... I would buy like... 10 of everything...
I used to love this set, bummed I sold it off when I went to college, probably for like $20-$30 :/
the right hand is backwards or is just me?
It's sad that Hydraxon was the only Bionicle to use Exo-Force arms as fingers. For MOCing they've always fared me well for posable Bionicle-scale hands, yet they never come back after this set. Takanuva and titan Mata Nui use different attempts at fingered hands, but don't work nearly as well.
Hydroboy's hands are an great example of the bionicle team using building techniques discovered by the early MOCing community. I remember this being a great point of validation in my old forum circle back in the day.
@@JJusmi The hands along with the feet as arm armor and the large amount of tubes all feel like something you'd see from a MOC rather than a retail set. Hydraxon really feels like something a fan made rather than something made my the main designers, which isn't a problem in the slightest.
I don't really like titan sets from 2008, they look so small. Hydraxon looks like regular toa with some additional pieces. It's not like Axonn, who was also pretty small, but you knew he could not be a regular toa set.
Oh boy, Hydraxon is great but wait till you get to Maxilos and Spinax. Best bionicle set ever imo.
Can't wait!
Von nebula stole hydraxon's mask ;-;
Hydraxon is one of the most wasted characters in bionicle lore.
He was the one who trained the first toa, he is the keeper of the pit and a powerful member of the order of mata nui, but after the events of mahri nui he was never be seen again, not even in the final battle. What a shame.
Ahh yes, Hydro Axonn
🤯
MY BOI
Idk why but I can’t move his legs
Has Hydraxon been this small? I remember him being bigger then that, Wtf😂😂
Hydraxon and Gudunka are great but Maxilos has to be the greatest titan of all time
The most overrated*
"Welcome to the pit"
I wish I had him
There's the music
😅 a true og
@@AllOutBrick Damn straight
I feel like a lot of the scores you give are the same.
I'm just a lil' disappointed, because hydraxon looks so much smaller than in the medias he appears in, i thought he'd be like twice as big as a toa 😭
That right hand is SERIOUSLY bothering me😂
