Takanuva And Other Things.

Posted by Velox , Jul 20 2008 · 55 views

Bionicle

Well, I'll start with 'other things'.

Here's a few notes that you'll probably be interested in:

-I might go on a temporary leave from BZPower. If that happens, my contest minions will have to take over for me. To my minions: If you have any questions, you may email me. I will be free by email, but nothing else [I'll explain over email].

-I spent 5 hours at a bonfire with one of my best friends [she's a girl style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif] and when I came home I didn't really like BIONICLE any more . . . Now I kinda like it, but I like her more style_emoticons/default/sad.gif So, I've put most of them aside, besides the '08 Phantoka Makuta and Takanuva. Along with my uncustom Self MOC. She'd probably understand though . . . she's really cool like that.

-I think I'm getting Bitil. I don't think there'll be a time to use white/red pieces. And, his wings/head/claws/feet are awesome.

Now for the lovely Takanuva. He's huge!

So yeah, he's pretty awesome. He's taller than Maxilos [I think] . . . He's probably my favorite BIONICLE set since . . . a long time. He's awesome.

Things to love:

-7 ball joints
-Realistic neck, just like Maxy
-awesome claws
-6 white Mahritoran blades
-Lots of white 'hand' joints
-white bohrok teeth [I need them]
-white (+OO+) pieces
-pretty cool lance
-Gunmetal takadox heads!!
-THE AWESOME GUNMETAL AVOHKII

I've been curious. How many ball joints does Takanuva have?

I understand how you feel about Lego. I took a few months off, but now I'm back. I'm sure you will be, too.

I understand how you feel about Lego, too. I actually stop building for a few months, a while back. And, how many ball joints does he have?

So you 'dumped' LEGO because of a girl? What if she dumps you, then Then yo have lost a girl, and some LEGO.

Meh, I don't really like him. I mean, white + black + grey + silver + gunmetal + red + blue + lots of flaws = ... :/

No, sir. I just don't like him.

Interesting parts, though.

if the red/blue wasn't there he'd be perfect. Besides the gap in his leg.

It's not that nice . . . it's mainly the sun that helps

I always wonder how you manage to take such awesome pictures. They're perfect! It's like you have a studio or something! I mean, this can't ALL be done with Photoshop!

Takanuva looks pretty sweet, but I probably won't get him. I'm already busy getting all of the Toa Mistika, Krika, maybe Bitil, Jetrax, and maybe Mazeka.

Well, I actually don't have Photoshop. I do have photosuite in which I crop and resize my pictures, and sometimes add brightness, but on most picures [especially where it's a 'blue-ish' background] what you see is what it is.

As for my secret, I get a white poster board, a white table cloth, and go outside. Then, setting up a table, cloth, and poster I direct the poster so it creates a shadow. However, I go outside around noon when it's really bright [especially in southern California] so it's still bright even though there's shade, but there's no glare from the sun. And that's it . . .

The 7 balljoints sounds good. Still, I already have 43

.
As does the 6 white Electro Shock Blades, I only got two from Pridak, and then forgot to buy another few....
White liftarms? Woot!

Mm...kay, velox. All I do is go to a REALLY shady place in my bedroom, then set my camera to night portrait, which produces a very nice lighting effect, but unfortunately, you get an image of my radiator.

In any case, Takanuva looks pretty awesome. He's built brilliantly. The way his arms are attached looks very well-designed, with the av-toran arms on his back. I might actually get him, though I'm still going to be too busy buying other stuff.
