toatitan Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 What, in your opinon, is the mask with the best design?I would say tahu mata's hau is the best due to its originallity and heroic look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatanui Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Definitely the Hau, hence the choice for my avatar. It´s really the symbol of BIONICLE. I also like the Miru, the Kakama, the Kualsi, the Ignika and a few others, though.~Gata.

Sumiki Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 For me, it has to be one of the 2001 masks. There are so many designs from that year, both great and noble, that it's really quite impossible for me to choose. The Kakama and Miru were great, but so were the noble Mahiki and Ruru.

ocarinas on wheels Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 i think that Toa Iruini's Kanohi Kualsi looks cool, nice and streamlined. The Hau is also cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehlekdude Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Although all of them have their own beauty to me, probably the Hau would be my choice if I had to choose one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I could go with a lot of classic masks, but honestly I'd have to say the Ignika. It took LEGO a full year to settle on a design for it, and the one they finally used (starting in 2007 with the original Barraki video) is amazing. The way it integrates the motif of da Vinci's Vitruvian Man (and, as would later be revealed, the Great Spirit Mata Nui's actual form) with the facial structure typical of Kanohi is simply masterful.

reptiman Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I would have to go with two of them. The original kakama and the original hau. They had the coolest designs in my opinion and both of them looked right. Quote Do you want to have a theme revolving around mythical beasts?

PooZy Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 All of the original six masks (and those of the turaga too) were by far the best designs. they were simple and actually looked like masks rather than head pieces (which lots of the later masks looked like imo).I like this one though:It's so ugly - but that's what makes it cool.

Cederak Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I really like the design of the Mask of Time and Mask of Shielding, but the best design would have to be the Mask of Light.-Ced Quote Cederak's Library l Blog: Fair Enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taipu1 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 The original Miru is somehow ridiculously different to any other mask ever, it's incredibly unique, incredibly nostalgic, and a brilliant looking thing. Perhaps to a lesser extent, the original Huna is also rather unique. Quote - Taipu1.HighFly MatoranShowdownBZPRPG ProfilesHave you seen my Blog?

ankyfdarkness Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) I've always like the look of Antroz's Kanohi Jutlin. Just the idea that Antroz warped a mask to fit his specific need and flavor speaks volumes about a Makuta's vanity and desire for power. It is also an "immoral" mask which Toa will not use. I think it's a pretty slick concept that there are some masks even Toa will not dare to use but Makuta are more than happy to abuse.But the best mask design is the Hau, hands down. Not only do most Bionicle fans think of it as the symbol for the entire line, but it has all the little details that make it work. The eye holes are some of the best Lego ever cut for a Bionicle mask and they make it immediately apparent what kind of personality Tahu has. A stoic but steadfast hero. The shape, slashes in the cheeks, mouth, and size really help to make the Hau look like a mask from a native tribe. It also has one of the best powers ever. Shielding is so utterly simple it works. The name is also another solid plus and rolls of the tongue in a satisfying way. Even in the story the mask is iconic being the symbol of Mata Nui. All these points come together to make the most well designed mask in Bionicle.EDIT: Come to think of it, I really like the Pakari too. I'm not going to go into why, though.

Peach 00 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 [*]All the original Mata masks[*]Vakama's Huna[*]Vahi[*]Jaller's Calix (Inika mask)Too many good masks. =P Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...

Aris621 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 In my oppinion, the masks with the best disigns are the Kanohi Vahi, the Great Kanohi Huna and of course the Kanohi Hau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protodite Karzahni Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 See, now, there's always been something I've liked about the Olmak. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something very grand and noble about it's design, whilst also being quite intimidating at the same time. And it's gold. That probably helps.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 The original Hau, IMO, has one of the best Kanohi designs. Though the Hau Nuva is also really cool too.

Ballom Nom Nom Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'm definitely fond of the Kraahkan, which is probably one of my favorite Kanohi. It captured the dark, villainous aspect of its wearer perfectly, with it sharp, hooked edges, and so on. Ortographobia also make a good case for the Ignika, so I'll list that one as a distant second.~B~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axilus Prime Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Ignika, Kraahkan, and Hau. Ignika, because of its Vitruvian Man, symbolizing life, and how it's all detailed and perfect. Kraahkan, because it perfectly captures the villain look, and has TWO FACES! Hau, because it's just elegant, epic and heroic, all at the same time.

Voxumo Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 i will say i have a few i might consider my favorite design. The kanohi Kakama, The great version of nuju's mask, Jaller's kanohi arthron and Hewkii's kanohi garai since it is the only mask so far to have that design where it does not cover the whole head. i enjoy the stream like design of jaller's mask.
