The Toa Hagah have since returned to active service, raising this number to 57. There were once as many as 3,000 Toa in existence, but as of the time of the Toa Inika their numbers are down to 50. As the Bionicle universe is based around a line of action figures, most Toa have appeared in their action figure. Each Toa has near-complete control over their element, and can access the powers of the more powerful Great Kanohi Masks. They usually work together in teams, with one member representing an elements, although they do not always agree with each other. It is Toa who defend the Matoran when they cannot defend themselves. In the fictional Bionicle universe certain Matoran (workers and villagers) are destined to become Toa heroic warriors of great strength and power.
