Drakmanka Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Earlier today I was going through a bin of LEGO parts, mostly standard bricks, looking for parts I could use on my Bionicle MOCs.I came across some pieces that, at first glance I thought went to a Rahaga Gaaki set. At second glance, however, I realized that the plastic was of inferior quality to that seen from LEGO. Upon even closer inspection, I found no part number of any kind, nor the iconic inscription of LEGO somewhere on the parts.I took some of the pieces home, and took some photographs(links lead to photobucket): "Hand" pieces: http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a621/Drakmanka/IMG_0907_zpsec9f45d8.jpg Rhotuka Spinner Launcher: http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a621/Drakmanka/IMG_0919_zps36e87dd4.jpg?t=1396320266http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a621/Drakmanka/IMG_0920_zps1092943f.jpg?t=1396320277 Foot: http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a621/Drakmanka/IMG_0926_zps909f96f4.jpg?t=1396320284http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a621/Drakmanka/IMG_0927_zps6bd430f9.jpg?t=1396320290http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a621/Drakmanka/IMG_0928_zps863ced80.jpg?t=1396320303 Has anyone else ever come across Bionicle knockoffs like this, or know what they might be from? My friends and I speculated that perhaps an amateur injection-molder made them for some purpose. I was bummed out to never find the head, but the parts I did come across definitely all went to the Rahaga Gaaki set.

Click Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I do recall seeing a "Star Soldiers" knock-off Gaaki actually, though it has a Darth Vader head.

Wow... that's almost like the producers said "Okay, how many franchises can we rip off all at once here?"

Klanadack Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) The "Darth Rahaga" knockoffs were the first thing that came to mind when I saw those. If you want to know what they look like, I believe an old topic had a link to pictures of them. There is also a video review on the internet. The vader head is missing from the set, (in the video) but it still shows the helmet on the box art. Edited April 4, 2014 by PyroLizard Prime Quote Chuck Norik is no match for Bruce Lhikan!
