Honest Toa Nuva Commercial

...I was actually expecting this to be a lot more cynical.
About how basically, the Toa Nuva are essentially the exact same toys as the Toa Mata sets, just with new accessories. And how the Bionicle Fanbase is now so hopelessly hooked on the franchise, that they will loyally buy the sets, without ever truly realizing that they've now essentially bought the same toy, a total of twelve times.
And then, throw in a dig about how in a few months, they're going to do it again, with the Bohrok Kal.

new from bionicle
enough nostalgia to make a grown man bust a nut

This is subtle Simple Rick's Wafers vibes.

Hella cool

Cultural sentitivities not included.

Respect for not doing something out of pocket for the og's 😊

Youre a good writer lmao

This feels like a How It's Made segment about Bionicle and I love it.

It almost feels official

I need to know how you did this so well

Maori injection-mould process engineer here. I approve of the old names and want them back.

this would have worked fine for a real one

This is TOO honest.

Fuck. I want one.

I feel like I just watched a "How It's Made" episode

Wait bionicles are polynesian?

heh

"Meticulously crafted... to produce the emotion known as 'joy.'" Yep, that's pretty much what Bionicle was for 90's kids in a nutshell.

God dammit when he mentioned the tactile thing I could feel clicking together Bionicle pieces in my hands and now I have the itch. Thanks, Lego company.

I mean he’s not wrong

If toys came with a Nutrition Facts label.

sooo fkn funny please make more

Honest but still very heartwarming.

Seratonin isn't cannon.

It's kinda sad that one of the reasons why Bionicle is no more is because Polynesians sued the Lego company. Probably one of the coolest toy lines ever.

Well, this was certainly honest

You better believe that bionicles make me produce chemicals

You could not of explained Bionicles better in 30 seconds.

It’s based on Polynesian mythology? I thought it was just an amalgamation of different cultures.

And the absolute perfect summary of my elementary to early middle school dopamine rush.
...god i miss bionicle

Only now do I realize I always put they're legs on upside down

This is so true lol, buying all six cans and building them with my brother was peak childhood

he's not wrong though....

I thank Bionicle for saving lego and definitely for making hero factory possible.

That only makes me want to buy them more

I wonder where the username I've been using for the last 20 years came from. 🤔🤣

You're able to squeeze in 10x's much lore into a 30 second commercial then Bionicle can very impressive.

Should have said, "...a low-effort derivation of a surprisingly popular original theme."

Hey even though this is a meme. Dude Bionicle commercials went hard man. They were so good.

There are few things in life more irritating than finally having a stable income, where I could buy all separately sold sets of a given Toa team for a fraction of a single month's salary... and there being no bionicle for sale in stores anymore.

Damn straight.

I mean, it is honest, but I absolutely love how hilarious the later ones got.

Just wait until you get into gunpla!

I had Bionicle's when I was a kid. They'd come with a mini comic inside the container.

The legend was born. 😂

I mean, he's not wrong. It worked on me.

I hate the toa mata and Nuva equally

And produces Anya taylor Joy ...accurate .

i always preferred the originals over the nuva personally
