Lego Bionicle Bohrok Nuhvok (GREY) #8561
The Bohrok, a race consisting of six insectlike species that use  elemental powers, add to the mythological story of the Bionicles. The Nuhvok are  the Earth Bohrok, who can tunnel through any surface. They will put up a strong  fight and wait for reinforcements, but they are most vulnerable above ground.  This 40-piece Bionicle kit uses a system of ball-and-socket joints, pegs, gears,  and machinelike body parts for assembly. The illustrated instructions are easy  to follow, and the black and gray pieces snap together without difficulty. A  lever just behind the back of the head can be pressed to make the top dome lunge  forward--a simple but incredibly cool effect. The completed Nuhvok stands  solidly on its own, offers a variety of offensive or defensive poses, and can be  suspended in its container when not in battle.--Pam Lauer
