G3 is real and it's a very loose G1 continuation, yes it's all system but studs and antistuds are more hidden than you'd think. they re-do the golden armor thing, but it's applicable on any of the toa. The gold chest armor doubles as mouthguard so no gold masks. The sets overall are kinda small, while they have knees and elbows the articulation is limited from 180 degrees to 90 but this seems to be caused by the build itself intentionally and it's not a fault of this new mixel hinge brick.
Masks are smaller than G2, about KnightsK sized.. they are very recognizable but Hau is the most faithful, rest take subtle influence from many other forms but are still fairly low on detail. Similarly Tahu overall is very mata with some oddities and rest 5 more of a mix of various forms. While they didn't do Gali mistika ears, her legs have the same wing piece still in production. The build is bit G2 but it's still probably the leanest version and like G2 the selective color blocking helps. Onua is wide and has claws, hints of purple. Kopaka is very G2 like but has mata weapons. Pohatu has kicking function but instead of being empty handed is asymmetrical with a gun arm. The signifigance of brown is so diminished the mask has a gunmetal part added to it. Lewa has actually claw feet now, there's stronger animal motif but not monkey like G2.
The torso is like mech cockpit from the outside with technic holes and inside more like a mata gearbox. The chest armor plate is some of nuva, g2 addon and maybe the not lean inika variant.
There are references to some evil, (probably straight up Makuta again but not sure) the "villains" are rahi not that there are but 3 and Fikou looking polybag, (but it's not named as such). The smaller is unmistakenly a bohrok looking beetle, the largest is this flip creature that sorta doubles as both Nui-Jaga and Rama. second largest set humanoid bug queen? Head is kinda done like Karzahnni
"matoran" are in blind boxes
