Big Bad Blue Bat Battles Brave But Bothersome Bigwigs (Toa)
WOW! Vamprah is awesome!
The new Phantoka Bionicles had been long awaited by me and my brother after seeing pictures of them on Brickshelf. And then they finally arrived in the local Toyworld shop, and we simply had to get them. So I got Lewa, Pohatu and Chirox, because those are my Bionicle colours, and my brother got Vampprah and Antroz. He still hasn't bought Kopaka, now that I think of it. Now onto the review.
Pros:
Bat-like appearance is great
Shadow leech sac is cool
Good build - nice to see something new
Original old Gali hooks look awesome in silver
New wings are extremely cool
Mahri Matoran blades used as back legs
Really good posability
Mask/face is one of the best
Cons:
NONE!
Everybody should make Vamprah one of the first Phantoka they get because he is awesome!3 out of 5 people thought this review was helpful.

Vamprah is a pretty cool Makuta, but like Krika, I do not like the way he is quadruped. The Kanohi Avsa, mask of hunger, looks like some cross between a horse and what he resembles, a vampire bat. (Ever notice how every Makuta resembles an animal?) I recently got his claws back from a friend who borrowed them, so I decided to review him. His "arms" are actually wings, just like a bat's arms are in fact, wings. The tridax pod does not break open easily over carpet, so try it on bare floor. The feet are Mahri Nui Matoran Electro-blades in BLUE! These never came in blue before!
Speaking of recolored pieces, he also has a Takadox armor plate in silver rather than translucent blue! The wings are also in different colors: back wings have blended silver and blue, and the front wings are in light gray blended with silver. (Don't believe me because, of that picture? Look on the parts list.)
pros:
Many cool pieces recolored.
Most bat-like Makuta. (In my opinion)
Blended blue and silver Kanohi Avsa.
Tridax Pod halves are awesome!
Fun to pose.
cons:
Quadruped.
This is a great source for many cool pieces in different colors. He is okay, but I like Antroz more. (I Only rated this five because of the colors.)1 out of 2 people thought this review was helpful.
He Drives Me Batty (and that's a good thing)!!
He was the first set i got for 2008, and was one of my favorites immediately. In fact, I think he IS my favorite Bionicle of 2008. I love his batty look; it's really neat. I mean, even his mask has a bat aspect to it. The wings are so neat; they are almost too bat-like. I also like the way he joins up with Gavla. They look really neat together. I'm almost sad he died. :( Anyway, on to the Pros and Cons.
Pros:
Batty look
Batty wings
Batty Mask of Hunger
Tridax Pod
Overall batty look
Cons:
Claws fall out (you can solve this by switching the hands out)
Please pay no heed to the Cons. It's just there to be honest. Go get Vamprah before he goes in the next month!!1 out of 1 person thought this review was helpful.

you can combine it with Vamprah and Toa Ignika to make a Niazesk. If you want to get a Niazesk I'll just do a tiny review of him:
Niazesk are good combos.

Bad colour scheme
leg armour flips down
tail doesn't move
quite a good combo 4/50 out of 0 people thought this review was helpful.
Awesome!
Pros: mask
Tridax pod
