  1. Hey Tritoa, I don't have what you're looking for, but perhaps I could help you out a different way: Is this what you're looking for? http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=43994&colorID=66
  2. Do any of these guys come with their original canisters, by any chance?
  3. Any chance you've still got Antroz and Tahu Stars lying around? Also, would Tahu come with his canister? Thanks!
  4. New member, but been followin' this site since the Bohrok swarms first overtook the island of Mata Nui. :D

  5. Oh, that's not fair. Every time I hit my workbench and build an MOC I feel fairly proud of, there's always one on this site that makes me want to just quit the hobby. This time it's yours.In all seriousness though, the body is all really well-designed, but I think the waist construction is the real star of the show. That, and how you've managed to bulk up the Ignika with armour but without sacrificing the distinct "canister-size" of the figure.And even though it's a tiny little detail, I love your use of the trans-light blue elements on his chest, and the gun of the glider. It really contrasts with the main colours, but without distracting.Everything blends so well it's ridiculous. And that's not even getting into your work on the mask itself. Wow.
  6. I'm quite enjoying this redesign of Makuta! My favorite bits are the backward knees, I always figured they'd be perfect for the character. His scythe is really impressive too, I'd tried to make one for my Teridax but was never able to make one that looked convincing. The way you've matched it up with his armor colour scheme really helps.But if I could suggest a few things, I'd agree with Sumiki about the Knight's Kingdom armour piece on the chest. It really breaks the scheme up, and draws attention away from the detail you've worked into the build. And just another little touch-up might be on the gray pieces on his wings: I'd think about maybe using more black to match the amounts of that colour used on the legs. Maybe a few spots of black on the torso would help balance that out too.But again, these are just a few little thoughts. The model is already very impressive as is!
  7. Only problem is that the horse completely steals the show here... I like the idea and the execution of the concept, but again, it's hard to concentrate on the rider when that amazing warhorse is in the shot too.I'm half-joking, the rider is really well-built, I like the all-black armor with the built-in blades. Really offsets the skull mask, which is probably one of the best uses I've seen of it.But that horse...! Jawdropping, really. Are you planning on touching up the tail a bit? It seems a little bare compared to the rest.
  8. Kohrak is my favorite Bohrok: the white/blue eyes look regal, and when it folds up, it looks like a cute little snowball!(Though Gahlok is a close runner-up, I've always loved those fin-shields.)As for the Kal, Tahnok is my pick: the red/silver/blue is outright striking. And those shields are really inspired.
  9. Oh, the Kraahkan. There are plenty of other good ones out there, but the Mask of Shadows will always be my personal favourite by far for several reasons:First of all, it finally gave a face to the main villain of the storyline after years of waiting for an image that wasn't guaranteed to come to begin with.Secondly, the curves and angles make it clear that the wearer isn't heroic, respected, or likable... no, this mask just oozes evil. Third, it's got that awesome flip-feature. I'll admit I'm not too crazy about the "regular" look when worn upright, but the movie edition fixes that problem nicely. Although the worn-downwards look is still the best way to display it, I think, as it gives Makuta those sinister slanted eyeholes and the tusky things off to the sides.
  10. In my opinion, the best canister villains were the Rahkshi. It seemed they had the best of all the preceding sets: they had the color/element organization of the Toa, the hunched-over look and opening body parts of the Bohrok, and best of all, they incorporated limb articulation into Bionicle. They were also tall enough to be distinctly sinister, as opposed to the shorter Bohrok and Visorak. They also seemed more restrained and calculating than the thug-like Piraka, which I think did more for me than distinct personalities would have (which also applies to the Makuta of Karda Nui).Although the Rahkshi really had me sold at the kraata. I love those little squishy sluggy things.
