Part 6/9:
As Bionicle rose in popularity, it wasn’t long before LEGO introduced enhanced designs for the TOA and brand new villains—the Rahkshi. These new figures were not only visually stunning but played a key role in the ongoing narrative. The trend of using colors, masks, and build experiences continued to define the franchise's appeal.
With fresh designs came a fresh wave of storytelling. New story arcs, comics, and video games continuously expanded the Bionicle narrative, allowing fans to delve deeper into the lore. Everything from the creation of the TOA to battles against dark forces reinforced the world-building efforts that characterized Bionicle's early years.
