>>9499171>I wonder why they didnt get influenced to make more comfy matoran slice of life sets.Mainly cause their focus was always the Toa, as those sold best, they were the faces of the brand. Bionicle appealed to different sorts of people, some of whom may have liked to see more of the franchise's "comfy" side and explore the fictional settings and cultures, but most kids just wanted action figures they could smash into each other.
Reminder Lego used to refer to their main target audience as Bully Bob, simple minded kids who wanted simplistic robot action figure sets. These kids were Lego's primary focus group, not the long-term fans who cared for stuff like worldbuilding.
