Tommy_ Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Hey guys, For a while I've been procrastinating this project, but now I've decided to continue and even improve it!Because of a lack of time, space and money, instead of collecting Bionicle sets, I have decided to start collecting the basic toa mata, turaga and toa nuva kanohi. The original plan was to mount them on the wall in 3 frames, but now I have decided I am going to add the heads and some lights behind the masks so their eyes can light up as well. Here is a video I made about the project:http://youtu.be/DjDqyKwvSzU I think I will use the site Bricklink to buy the pieces I need, because they sell most of the parts at <5 cents. Can you please help me with the head and eye colours? This is what I remember, please correct me if I'm wrong:Red - Light grey head, orange eyesBrown - Brown head, orange eyesBlack - Dark grey head, yellow eyesWhite - Light grey head, blue eyesBlue - Blue head, yellow eyesGreen - light grey head, red eyesAre the head and eye colour the same for all bionicle of the same element? (e.g. Do Pohatu, Onewa and Pohatu Nuva share the same colour of head and eyes behind their masks?) Thanks for your help and I will keep you updated on my progress Edited August 10, 2014 by Tommy_ 2 Quote I turned out to be exactly the grown-up I wanted to be.A child - but with a credit card.Kanohi upside down = epic beard.We've all tried it, don't deny it.

Bfahome Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 All the Toa had light gray heads, it was the Turaga that had the other colors (blue, red, green, white, black, and brown). The eyes were the same for each element though. Ta -> pinkLe -> lime greenGa -> yellowPo -> orangeKo -> light blueOnu -> green 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy_ Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Oh thank you!I would never have thought the green ones would have green eyes, but that's because I was thinking of the Bohrok fang color. Off-topic: I decided to google Bohrok for the fang colors, and found this image lmao"Bohrok Obama" 1 Quote I turned out to be exactly the grown-up I wanted to be.A child - but with a credit card.Kanohi upside down = epic beard.We've all tried it, don't deny it.

Tommy_ Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Is there an 'official' order for the colours?I now put them ta-po-onu-ko-ga-leBecause I read the first team was ta-po-onu with ta as leader and the second half team would be ko-ga-le with ko as leader.

toa kopaka4372 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Wow, I'm jealous! Awesome collection of masks you have there.

Tommy_ Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Thanks! Nothing rare though, just the plain 6 coloured masks. It's a lot harder to find the toa nuva ones compared to the mata ones, I guess the masks became less popular in 2002.It was a pain, but I've ordered all the non-mask parts I need from Bricklink. Is there an 'official' order for the colours?

doodleloot Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Nice, I like the idea with the glowing eyes. Regarding your question about the order of the colors, I don't think there is an official one. Thats up to your preference.

Bfahome Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 The back of the Mata instructions may possibly count as an "official order", though it varies even within the same page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderscoreChronix Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I just have a large grey baseplate with a buttload of light grey Mata heads to put the masks on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy_ Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Oh that's interesting about the colours, I see they put it into the two groups as well. I'll just stick to my order then. I just have a large grey baseplate with a buttload of light grey Mata heads to put the masks on.Cool, do you have a pic?
