dotcom Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Skull Grinder has it (in silver metallic) as does Skull Warrior(in titanium metallic). Edited March 7, 2015 by farmstink buttlass 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordianL at the BCC Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Skull Grinder and Warrior. Also, I just noticed that the pedestal/vat thing has protector masks carved on the sides. Neat. 1 Quote My YouTube Channel My imgur albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Nui Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yes, as previously mentioned, Skull Grinder and Skull Warrior actually wear that type of mask, just in a different color. At first I didn't see them wearing the mask that is on the backcover of the Lego magazine, it was only a few hours after my first glance at the pictures that I realised they indeed, do wear that mask.

Lenny7092 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Skull Grinder and Skull Warrior. Anyway, I remembered we all thought that this is going to be the Mask of Ultimate Power, but it seems it isn't. Oh, well. Better luck next year or two. I knew they don't match well, according to The Legend video (that is because of the Mask's spikes in the video). Quote I like Lego, Bionicle, and Hero Factory!

fishers64 Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) The mask in the picture and Skull Warrior/Grinder's masks look slightly different to me. Could be the lighting change + color + quality of Toy Fair photos though.

Yeah, sorry if I wasn't clear. I do agree that it isn't the Mask of Ultimate Power, I just think "doesn't look like it" isn't that convincing a piece of evidence seeing as we don't know with any confidence what the MoUP DOES look like. So I was pointing out some more obvious proof that's not so easily negotiated away.

MrSciFiGuy Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I thought of this a few days ago. Does that mean that is not a legendary mask? Or maybe it just represents the Skull "army", the evil of the island.

Or maybe it just represents the Skull "army", the evil of the island. Well, I don't know about "representing" the skull army as a whole, considering only two of the five skull villains wear that mask. But I would bet my bottom dollar that it's not a legendary mask. Technically we don't even know for a fact that the masks of the Skull Villains have powers or even if they're meant to represent masks at all (they could just be meant to represent faces like Hydraxon's mask or Hero Factory helmets). Of course, if they didn't represent masks, the knocking-off function would seem superfluous, which would be odd since the horns on some of the Skull Villains would presumably make their masks even EASIER to knock off than the Toa's. So on that note, perhaps their masks function somewhat like the Krana of the Bohrok, and removing the masks returns the villains to just being unmoving corpses... 4 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iblis Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 What does the Mask of Ultimate Power look like? Like a fishy siggy?

It looks like this: http://biosector01.com/wiki/images/9/90/Video_Mask_of_Ultimate_Power.png And see my point above. So much of the mask is obscured that the only parts that are discernable are the "spikes", and I don't think it's even guaranteed that the actual mask will even have that feature (since with such a vague depiction there's no telling whether Lego has even settled on a final design for the mask). We know the mask that this topic asks about isn't the Mask of Ultimate Power because more than one set wears it (and the boxart for those two sets suggests that at least one of them is not a one-of-a-kind character in the first place). But unless we see a mask that DOES closely match the silhouette from the Legend video, it's irresponsible to assume the shape of the MoUP is a sure thing by any stretch.

Tarvaxx Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) *Sigh* Right now the mask design looks like it does in the animations. Could it change in the future? Possibly. The fact is though, the mask we've seen has three protruding edges, and so right now that is canon. It MIGHT change, but for now it's safe to assume that's part of the design. You don't always have to "play it safe" when it comes to things like this. We have a form of visual evidence, and for the time being, as I said before, the MoUP looks like it does in the animation.

I don't think it's safe to assume anything, at least as far as set designs are concerned. I can at least guarantee that he mask itself will not look EXACTLY like it does in the animations because the majority of what can be seen in the animations is cloaked by a shifting black aura. Considering that, is it really safe to assume that the small segment of the mask that ISN'T totally hidden represents an actual, finalized design? I'm not disputing that the animated version of the MOUP is all we have to go on for its appearance, by the way. But if there were a Makuta set released that included both the Mask of Control and an unidentified black mask, then in all likelihood we would instantly associate it with the Mask of Ultimate Power even if it DIDN'T have those "spikes", because they're an almost insignificant detail of an incredibly vague depiction. The shape of the mask doesn't carry any weight in arguments until we have some degree of certainty what its shape IS—less than 50% of its silhouette is hardly good enough. 1 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
