Yeah,the original one had a sort of T-pose motif on it.
Wow. That one is fucking awesome.
But there is an older one. I've never seen that one before

Yes, the golden Ignika is the original form lore-wise. Though it was only available in that 'limited edition set'. It's pretty sweet though, everything's better in gold.

Anyway, people are speculating that this could either be a continuation of the story back in 2010, or a reboot. I'm at a loss here, but I have a hunch it'll be a continuation.

Considering that the poster shows the original Toa, I'd say it's a reboot.

I hope the figures on this pic are just prototypes and the final versions will have closer resemblance to the originals. I'm glad they reintroduced collectable Kanohi masks, however.

Ideally, we'll get new versions of them. Or at least new Bohrok sets, I loved those things.

I think I'd prefer a reboot, to be honest.

Eh, I had high hopes for a continuation, but either way it's going to be interesting. Especially if they bring back the collectibles.

It would be a pity to do a reboot, but hey, what can I do about it?

I for one, am going to enjoy a less convoluted story that is not written by bad writer. (Farshtey had some cool concepts and he is a professional, but a lot of things bug about his storytelling).

I agree. I also hate the fact that there were a bunch of books and other crap that I needed to read to get the whole story.

Huh, nice to see them coming back. I assume that the guys with the 'generic' masks (see top row) are matoran of some description, while the others (sans the odd-one-out spider) are the toa.
It seems like the golden masks are busy being important in some form again. The toa next to tahu is kopaka (his golden mask has his trademark triple telescopic nonsense).
I guess they are all coming back, but with redesigns and stuff. Pohatu lost his shoes :(

I know you like, commas, but I would, appreciate it if you would, stop splicing them randomly, into, sentances.
