LEGO Bionicle - Toa Onua - Set 8532 - Review
This is a nice figure to have, and it's fun to play with as well.
Instructions
The instructions have 30 pages and there're no mistakes in them.
Parts
This set has 49 pieces, and it was 7 USD when it was on sale. That means that the price per piece ratio was 23 cents per piece, which is perfect value for a figure like this.
The build
The build is very nice and easy, and we also don't have to complain about stickers.
The completed model
The arms, the legs and the feet can be moved. On the back of the torso is a gear which you can use to move both arms, which have some really cool claws. I really like the design of this figure and I also like the mask which comes with this set.
Summary
All in all, this set is a great set and I would HIGHLY recommend you to get this. You can find this set on eBay and BrickLink for sure. Here is the link where you can check out the full gallery I made for this set on my website:www.klokriecher.de

True Bionicle
I got this set when I was 6. It was cheap but very interesting. This is my first Bionicle and my favourite. The box had pictures of all Toa Mata, short instruction and history of appearance of Toa. At the top you have a head for mask and 6 places for Toa heads. The construction is easy but strong enough. First Toa and especially their masks have incredible design and each mask has a secret code inside. Later I got a CD where you type the code in and then you watch a video about Toa, but unfortunately lost Onua's black mask (then found it), got the code from Nui-Jaga. Also, you can build a Toa Kahita - combo from 3 toa.

8532 Onua
I got this set recently and I think it is awsome. Onua is the Toa of earth now I will go over the canister.
The canister is pretty cool in the bionicle story these are the canister's that the Toa arrived on Mata Nui in. On the canister it shows Onua in a cool pose and he is underground tunneling with his huge claws. On the top of the canister it has a face of a Toa wich if you want you could put the mask on top of it. So the canister is cool it's very accurate to the story.
The figure
Toa Onua is a cool figure himself since he was one of the first Bionicles to come out he is short but still a great figure. He has a knob on his back which if you turn it his claws will start swinging. He has good detail he looks cool with his black and gray color scheme.
The build was very easy but still fun he has a green piece that go's in the back of his head wich gives him green eye's.
Overall I think he is a great a great addition to anyones collection and he is a classic. I give him a 5/5.

Toa Mata Onua
Onua is a super cool Toa Mata. I got him on ebay $8.50. Out of the five I have, he is my favorite, besides Tahu.
Like all the Toa Mata, an easy but fun building experience. He is exactly like Gali's build, but the piece that connects his head to his body is different, and put lower. The way you put his head on makes him a hunchback, but looks cool and is different from the other Toa. The parts are good, not the greatest for MOCing, though, because there is only 30 pieces (the least out of the Toa Mata). Onua also has great playability. His function is more realistic than Tahu's, because his fuction is making the claws go up and down. His "Clawing" function would be good against enemies.
His original price was excellent. $8.00 is very good since you get an Onua poster with all the 2001 sets on the back, directions, the cool figure, and an awesome canister. If you can get him on ebay for $10.00 or less, you're getting a good deal. Overall, my second favorite of the Toa Mata, behind Tahu. I highly recommend you get Toa Onua Mata. 10/10.
