I KNOW RIGHT. Nidi is such a great albeit tragic character. tbh I feel really bad over him even if he backstabbed his team solely so he couls save.his hide
@@dovevanity4252 Spoilers, assuming I actually remember his origin right, but....Nidhiki is arrogant and vain, and Roodaka picked out his mutated form especially for him. His mutated form, the head of which is basically identical to mass-produced cop-bots that....frankly don't stand up to Toa at all. Dramatic irony, or completely unintended? Almost certainly the latter.
You forgot the most coolest part with Nidhiki being his Alt. form which in my books is a Pro... Side note, I get the feeling you Dislike the Vahki head designs Eljay... I hope this isn't true -.-
My First Titan Set was the Ultimate Dume which came with Nidhiki, Krekka, and Turaga Dume/Nivawk Unfortunately, my Krekka Instustions were misprinted and they included how to build his torso twice, but the rest of him.
If you've got loose Takanuva spears and other weapons that plug in to an axel acceptor, just wedge a little piece of paper in the axel acceptor and push the weapon in. Then, with the help of your tweezers or x-acto knife or lighter or modeling drill, get rid of the paper that may or may not be sticking out of the crease between the two parts.
He never usually talks about the story. In my options noon he should because when I buy a set I'm thinking about the character and involvement in the story. Otherwise why get any of the toa mata?
All fairness, he doesn't tend to go deep into the lore much at all, at least not beyond 'this is the new bad guy', 'here's the mass produced mooks', and 'look, the first Toa to have KNEES!', but he is reviewing the sets and not the books or comics.
So the skit just glosses over (rightly so) my favorite part of the 04 matoran which was that with the switch of a mask you could have a different character. Honestly if they had made that part of the collectibles I'd have really enjoyed it. Like what if you got a box with two random kanoka and a random matoran with a recolored or re-released mask. Just a thought
Eljay, I have to say that these reviews are getting funnier and better produced as time goes on. While the old 2001 reviews are okay, these are getting better and better. I like it.
anyone ever read his backstory? bionicle.wikia.com/wiki/Birth_of_a_Dark_Hunter its quite a pitiful one. but my gosh does it have one heck of a villain.
Don't forget to review TURAGA DUMA "The combiner set of the metro titan villain figures that was an exclusive to toys R us and came with a rare exclusive mask"
I recently decided to rebuild all my old Bionicle titan sets, nidhiki is my first one. Looking forward to the reconstruction. Just need to find all his parts amongst my collection...
Wasn't his head illuminated in the film to make the set look plausible? Also, were there any other dark hunters other than Nidiki and Kreka? I don't remember any...
There were multiple dark hunters in the storyline! I believe you could build at least three other dark hunters with the certain forming of pieces from the Titans of the Hordika Saga. As for the Nidiki, his head was somewhat illuminated for the film. It worked out.
Steven Perez what were the dark hunters anyway? I got there bad and toa hate them but I never understood what their proper purpose was and how they collated with Makuta
Exactly. TECHNICALLY, the Piraka were were Dark Hunters at a point, but they left the organization , and went AWOL. This is why I personally know them as EX Dark Hunters.
Idk, I guess is to make the set a little more unique? But yeah they should've gave him a Le-Metru disk, but as I said I guess is to make him a little bit more unique
Bit late, but for future reference there are better deals on this website you may or may not know called Bricklink, which specialises with lego between sellers across the globe, I got Nidhiki for just $60 (Australian Dollars) brand new nonetheless.
The Nui Jaga and Pewku all had more than 2 legs. If the Bionicle Master builder counts as a titan, then there were some rahi that you could build that had more than 2 as well, like the Fikou or Ussal crab.
For some reason, he looks kind of feminine to me. It's just weird considering that he is a male character and Lihkan's brother. Also, do you know why his Kanoka disc is and Onu-Metru disk if he is a Titan/Vahki of air?
badbandit9000 Roodaka mutated Nidhiki into what you see him as now. He used to be a Toa Mangai like Lhikan. He was the Toa of Air, carried an Air Scythe, and wore the Kanohi Volitak.
DUDE you review Nidhiki and you do not even show his scorpion mode? You can twist his head and push his back down, bend over the arms and you have a scorpion-like nidhiki. This is btw even shown in the instructions lol
you forgot the function of the crab look when you bend his body backwards to the foots and move the arms so they is with the claws points out from the head and face the then turn the head around and your done.
Nidhiki was the only Titan of 2004 I got.
Because Green.
Ha... ha...
I like you, green master race!
Green sets are pure gold creations
@@energo2903 No, they're pure green creations ;)
Such a tragic character, had some good moments though. Man, Greg is a good writer!

@@FFfanboyX The head being similar to Vahki has no plot reason tho, it was just made for conveniences sake.
You're right otherwise tho
i guess I am quite randomly asking but does anyone know a good place to stream new series online ?
@Cassius Juan I use flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
Am I seriously the only one who read the comics and know he has an official "spider" mode and that LJ sorta glossed over that?
Ghostprime98 he completely forgot. It also explains the absence of detail on his back
LJ glosses about lots of things tho
@Sunset's Channel It happens during one of Vakama's dreams when they were fighting the.... aww jeez... Tahtorak. Within one to two issues of that.
I don't mind the bright green blob on his head. It keeps his color scheme from being monotonous.
“This time, your farewell will be forever! Brother!”
You lost the right to call me brother long ago
Vakama: LOOK OUT!!!
Krekka: It's the end of the line, Toa!!!
@@fighterx9840 nidhiki:😈😈😈😈😈😈😈. WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU GOING!?

Sell those damn instructions, could be worth a bit.
By far one of the most accurate appearance for Bionicle.

Then, with the help of your tweezers or x-acto knife or lighter or modeling drill, get rid of the paper that may or may not be sticking out of the crease between the two parts.
I love your recap review intros. They're so hilarious.
Pewku had 6 legs also you should have mentioned that he was a toa on Lhikan's team but was mutated by Roodaka into his current state.
Good point, Pewku was a titan after all.
He never usually talks about the story. In my options noon he should because when I buy a set I'm thinking about the character and involvement in the story. Otherwise why get any of the toa mata?
@@zally8183 Because the Toa Mata are cool... 👀
@@cookiesontoast9981 in terms of what the actual models can do in comparison to the road metru, they're not that cool.
He didn't touch on the story behind Nidhiki's past. How he was originally a toa and all that.
All fairness, he doesn't tend to go deep into the lore much at all, at least not beyond 'this is the new bad guy', 'here's the mass produced mooks', and 'look, the first Toa to have KNEES!', but he is reviewing the sets and not the books or comics.
@@FFfanboyX True enough. Also heavy necro since that comment is like six years old... Holy heck have I been watching this channel a long time. O-o
**whispers**
Elbows are standard now.
I love the way his shoulders are constructed,
it's fairly simple but looks really good!
The beginning was funny.
One of my favorite characters in the series
also 3:17 his hips dont lie
This was my favorite Titan. I actually own two of them.
I was lucky enough to have one of these at one point. Bionicle were so badass.
So the skit just glosses over (rightly so) my favorite part of the 04 matoran which was that with the switch of a mask you could have a different character.

Just a thought
That intro was hilarious.
OK, that skit was pretty damn funny!
I think the bright colour in the head for me symbolises that it collects energy to shoot the disc
pewku and the gukko bird came to my minds as titan sets with multiple legs/wings
Eljay, I have to say that these reviews are getting funnier and better produced as time goes on. While the old 2001 reviews are okay, these are getting better and better. I like it.
anyone ever read his backstory?
bionicle.wikia.com/wiki/Birth_of_a_Dark_Hunter
its quite a pitiful one. but my gosh does it have one heck of a villain.
I've read it already
I finished the reading feeling bad for him
Favorite Bionicle ever
why didn't they use the head dress of the red vahki,it's metru green,it fits better with his color scheme.
Don't forget to review TURAGA DUMA "The combiner set of the metro titan villain figures that was an exclusive to toys R us and came with a rare exclusive mask"
Sorry to say, but I won't be reviewing combo models. =P Dume and Nivawk, sure!
It's ok :P
+TTV Eljay meanwhile ult dume came with a piece made literrally only for him
@@EljayJohnsen That aged well :)
(really enjoyed that series, thank you for doing it)
My favorite set of all
Idk why but I really loved the intro for this one.
3:14 HE CAN DO THIS!!!
*i'll give you a hint: BUT CAN YOU DO THIS?*
Where is the spider mode? :/
Exactly, he forgot the spider/crab mode :|
Gali nuva had 4 legs :^)
Tyler H how?
I guess you could say
Lanni Thai because the legs and arms is the same type of piece, but its still arms and legs
so she can give a fj and a hj at the same time.
No she didn't
I'd consider another con to be the big empty region in the center of the square made by the parts that his legs swivel from.
Does Pewku count as a titan? if so, he/she has more than 2 legs.
She
Ollie Nix Thanks, I was never sure what gender it was
I would consider her a vehicle set like how Jaller was in a set with a bird that acts like transportation.
Skalidor14 Studios also takua refers pewku as a girl and yes she is a titan along with jaller and gukko, takuanava, and makuta 2003
Takuuuuuaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
9/10 set
Love the colors and design
I recently decided to rebuild all my old Bionicle titan sets, nidhiki is my first one. Looking forward to the reconstruction. Just need to find all his parts amongst my collection...
He's a limbo expert I now it
right...
Whenever weapon connections gets loose I get a thin strip of STRONG tape and wrap it around it. Works like a dream!
i had the same problem and same solution ZD
I just bite on the axle for 10 seconds.
i hope somebody make a "Toa Nidhiki" MOC
***** Yea, Its probably gonna be like matau but with silver pieces and weapons. sad i never had toa metru bodys just Nuparu mahris mask
i think ClockworkTempest made one on his old channel before it got hacked
lol love the introductions
Wasn't his head illuminated in the film to make the set look plausible?

Steven Perez but were they ever released as stand alone sets?
To my knowledge, no. There was never a release of of individualized Dark Hunter sets. Unless you count Roodaka, then none at all.
Steven Perez what were the dark hunters anyway? I got there bad and toa hate them but I never understood what their proper purpose was and how they collated with Makuta
Exactly. TECHNICALLY, the Piraka were were Dark Hunters at a point, but they left the organization , and went AWOL. This is why I personally know them as EX Dark Hunters.
I imagine just after the skit ends nihdiki yelling krecka
!!!!
*krekka
"YOU IDIOT YOU MESSED UP THE PLAN . YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE WAITING RIGHT OUTSIDE"
I can totallly see this
Krekka "I thought you said to not wait outside. Did I mishear?"
I actually didn't notice it was Nidhiki instead of a vahki in the intro
I just realised his legs are takanuva staffs
My favorite character i/ the entire franchise has the legs of my fave toas staff
everything makes sense now
As I kid I thought he was the leader of the Vahki :D
then after nuparu relase that nidhiki and krekka are not vahki the two dark hunters capture nuparu then put him in a matoran spire.
Ysy, The mighty creator Nuparu! :D
Why did they make those blue pins blue? Was it justto make them more identifiable or what?
Nuparu, M.O.C.ist of the gods.
NUPARU WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A CAVE!
+Pixl Potato WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!
#ERNMAN
Ry the duelist I get that reference!
Rant why would a mutated toa of air come with a earth disk???
Idk, I guess is to make the set a little more unique? But yeah they should've gave him a Le-Metru disk, but as I said I guess is to make him a little bit more unique
WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!
Such a good set
I always love dark green though I really think the arms look a bit awkward.
Guy arrived in the mail today. Got him off Amazon (new) for £40. Was it worth it?
Every penny.
Bit late, but for future reference there are better deals on this website you may or may not know called Bricklink, which specialises with lego between sellers across the globe, I got Nidhiki for just $60 (Australian Dollars) brand new nonetheless.
Experiment115 I know about Brick Link. None of the offers seem to support Master Card. So......
im saveing up for a Ultimate dume nib should i keep saveing up or just quit?
The Nui Jaga and Pewku all had more than 2 legs. If the Bionicle Master builder counts as a titan, then there were some rahi that you could build that had more than 2 as well, like the Fikou or Ussal crab.
Those are considered Rahi, not Titans.
Melon Pult I count the 01 rahi as titans
Is nui jaga a titan???
BEST TOYS I EVER HAD
One of my favorite 2004 titans
😈 this time, your farewell will be forever, Brother!
6:26 Yeah that happened to my Kopaka mata
He’s my favourite Bionicle character because my family has a set form of him.
Have all three of the metru built Titans in storage
For some reason, he looks kind of feminine to me. It's just weird considering that he is a male character and Lihkan's brother. Also, do you know why his Kanoka disc is and Onu-Metru disk if he is a Titan/Vahki of air?
Also, I FINALLYHAVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!
im confused about the lhikan and nidhiki brother thing can you exsplain to me what it is. plz
It'ssimple, Nidhiki and Lhikan are brothers.
badbandit9000 Roodaka mutated Nidhiki into what you see him as now. He used to be a Toa Mangai like Lhikan. He was the Toa of Air, carried an Air Scythe, and wore the Kanohi Volitak.
StrangersFromTheMist makes a lot more sense now THNX brodyyy

This is btw even shown in the instructions lol
That's an actual thing????!!!
why does Eljay hate blue pins so much??? I honestly don’t get it since it’s a structural thing
HAHA loved the joke at the beginning man!! :D
That matoran was never seen again
*"GEEEEEET NIDHIKI..... GEEEEEET NIDHIKI...."*
Nidhiki
@@reubenguttenberg7405 Huh?
@@lildoeflamingo984 my thoughts exactly!
@@reubenguttenberg7405 What TF are u even Talking about?
They are mere Matoran in Toa armor!
His hips don’t lie
I lost his bottom half but i still got the upper body minus left claw
You didn’t go over how he can turn into a crab :( it’s in the first page of the instructions and tbh he looks cooler as a crab
My second titan
does krekka have a hover mode to
They should revamp him and give him some kinda crawling mechanism
Pewku had 6 legs
Hey! Nuparu was in a video where you didn't run him over!
the rahi had Three with muaka/kane-ra to six legs with nui jaga.
Nidhiki: 😤grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. 😠 BROTHER!
you forgot the function of the crab look when you bend his body backwards to the foots and move the arms so they is with the claws points out from the head and face the then turn the head around and your done.
that thing is a Scuttlest from BN3...
Nidhiki kinds reminds me of a lead class vahki because of his look
will you be reviewing ultimate dume?
Nope.
kk
Pewku has more than 2 legs. XD
Check.
waaaaaiiit a minute
😖 Where did the toa go? Did you let him get BY YOU!?
