Popular Post VBBN Posted February 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2015 Vezon is by a far my favorite character from G1, so revamping him for BBC 69 was obvious.I decided against doing Fenrakk, I don't have many dark red CCBS parts and didn't really have any ideas for him. Anyway, The full photo set can be found in the gallery. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taria Pakari Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 This is an absolutely solid MOC! I love what you've done for the teeth and spine, and the skull spider masks for hip armour just looks fantastic. And the feet are excellent too, using the silver horn pieces to mimic that Piraka feet look is brilliant. My only complaint is the hood. I get what you were going for, but I think it just looks a bit odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitriX75 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I absolutely love the teeth design. 1 Quote "It's got a great defense mechanism... you don't dare kill it..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konahrik Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Very impressive recreation of Vezon. The custom head is superb, and I'm digging the spear of fusion. While i think silver would have suited him better, you wouldn't have been able to use that chima torso armor like you did. Perhaps just having the cape instead of a cape and hood combo would look more like the vezon we know. I'm not sure if the back spikes are supposed to be a pseudo spine or just back spikes. If they are supposed to be a spine, perhaps raising it a stud or two so that it's flush with his head would make it more obvious as to what it is. If they're just back spines, then they look magnificent as is. The spider skulls are creative in the use of hip armor and look pretty cool. Good job and good luck in the contest. A very strong entry and I hope you make it to the finals in the contest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djokson Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 The way you have the hood set up right now makes it really hard for me to see anything but Vezon tranformed into the Great Cornholio.Which is kinda fitting because Vezon Quote Flickr DA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirkitree Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 That set of teeth looks amazing. I really want to know how you managed to pull that off.I like the Chima torso-armor being used here. The red ball gives me the impression that he has a very large heartlight.I like how you've done up his spine, and the staff, but I do feel that the hood is a little wild, and it makes it hard to see the head build beyond that vicious maw.But then again, this IS Vezon we're talking about here. Wild is average for him Best of luck in the competition mate. Sure hope this one goes far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfg1_grimlock Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Love the back and back spike designs. You did a great job on the build. Nice shots too.

VBBN Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Thanks everyone!Yeah, the hood was the only thing that really wasn't on the original '06 Vezon that I wanted to try out. I think it worked better in theory... Due to the very elongated shape of the Piraka/Ignika fusion mask, it doesn't sit very well on his head. Here is a shot of Vezon without the hood (apologies for the change in photo quality, just snapped that one real quick with my phone) for those who want to see what it looks like. As for the spikes, they are sort of there just to be spikes, but to also pay homage to the other Piraka's spines. So as for if they are spikes, that would be a yes and no answer.

Munty Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 This is without a doubt one of my favourite entries so far, I love everything about it. He's such a villain!!! I agree on the hood. While it looks exactly as you intended it to (like a hood!) I think it hides too much of the build and has a bit of an afro vibe about it! The pics without the cloak at all are great too, the use of those spike pieces is just great!

Kuurai Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Wow! This Vezon is fantastic! (Wish I could up-vote twice ) I love the detail you put in the teeth and spine. Awesome job man Quote "It's all a trick, you see. They want me to pretend to betray them. They want you to concentrate your forces here against an attack that won't come.

Toa Turing Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 This is excellent! He looks much more menacing than the original. I love the teeth and the spine. Quote I really need a better signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephant Knight Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Wow, those teeth are... nasty and scary! Great job! As another poster pointed out, the hood looks a bit odd. I really like the feet, even though they are very simply. THe evoke the original part, and yet are very much CCBS. This is a great creation! and scary! Toa Han Quote My Flickr.

AdaptingChaos Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Alright this entry is just amazing! I love everything about it! The teeth, spine, torso, feet, claws, everything just seems to work perfectly. Oh how I wish I had bought Maxilos and Spinax for that very awesome Vezon mask in Pearl Dark Grey!! I like the inclusion of the hood as it adds something very unique, however due to the long top of Vezon's mask, it kinda sticks out weirdly. But still I really like this entry! Great work! and if I wasn't entering in the contest myself, I would most definitely vote for you. Also do you plan to have instructions for this entry? Or possibly show us how the skeleton looks?

VBBN Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Thanks again everyone!Elsewhere people have wanted to see how the head was built, so here is a glimpse at that.

Great work! and if I wasn't entering in the contest myself, I would most definitely vote for you. Also do you plan to have instructions for this entry? Or possibly show us how the skeleton looks? I will take a pic or two of his skeleton tomorrow, sure. Nothing really complicated to it, his head is mounted to a Glatorian neck and the body is the extra long CCBS torso. And thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axilus Prime Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 This whole thing looks awesome. The teeth and torso design especially. The hood looks great from some angles and it's very creative. Just don't pose him looking straight at the viewer with the hood on though. It looks bloated from a straightforward angle. I don't even mind that there's no Fenrakk. The original Vezon I would never consider buying without Fenrakk, but this...this, I actually would.

Turaga Majice Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 100% awesome. I even like the hood. Man, and you got to do a custom head! I tried to do that with Zaktan, but the orange head doesn't sit right in the rubbery face. There's really very little I can criticize, here. Really just comes down to nitpicks. I guess I'd say those twiggy add-ons to the staff detract from its appearance, to me. And while his thigh armor masks are sweet, they look a bit too out-of-place in details. But they're a great idea, and a great placement. It's more like it's the mask's fault, I guess, for not living up to the idea. I love the addition of back spikes. Makes him more like his bros.

joev14 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 This is absolutely gorgeous. I love how you went with gunmetal instead of silver. (Ain't we lucky Maxilos gave us gunmetal vezeon heads? ) Toes! You gave him toes! And Teeth, AND a spine with MORE blades. Just touching this guy could kill ya. I can imagine him cackling now as Tridax dies at the hands of Mazeka and Tobduk...

Anapouri Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Oh wow this is really top notch. I loved the original set of this guy, especially with his "pet", but you really knocked this one out of the ball park. Especially with how you handled the teeth and his overall structure.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Woah, he has a spine! That is some attention to detail (well, I mean the original Vezon didn't have a spine but I meant for this moc in general). The cape covers the back but the spine helps bring out a bestial shape. I like the idea of covering the Mask of Life portion of his head. Speaking of his head, the teeth are great! The torso shell is interesting and definitely sets him apart from the common Hero Factory shells with its more ancient look. This is a top notch model and IMO, has an extremely high chance of making it to the finals! -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Disadvantaged Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I love the way you managed to include the maw of teeth - he looks so much more ferocious and manic with them. Perhaps his torso could use a bit of love to fill up the gaps, but you've really done homage to not just the original model, but his character as well.
