Collectively, the Toa Nuva were the last canister-size Bionicle sets of protagonist characters to use the brighter "Mata shades" for nearly seven years, even as the color of "Mata green" in particular was entirely absent from the theme after 2003. Gali Nuva (8570) had the greatest number of parts out of the Toa Nuva (44), while Tahu Nuva (8572) had the fewest (36) overall, and Toa Mata style of feet were phased out in all but one of their origin colors after these. With only the white ones remaining in use for a few more years. Most of the Toa Nuva's weapons would go on to be reused/repurposed in other sets over the following years, though some-such as Kopaka Nuva's "Ice Blades" were not used in Bionicle after here.
