The figure itself doesn't use any creative techniques or anything, I just wanted to share the shield design.

 

Building this made me wish we got mask packs. I get why they're not a thing, but it sucks being forced to work gold into so many MOCs just so I can use different masks.

Well, we're in a better place than we were in many of the later years of G1, when we didn't have any alternate color options for most masks. This year's Bionicle sets are on a roll, with 32 masks to date (not counting event-exclusive masks). That's more than any year of Bionicle or Hero Factory since 2003!

 

I'd love more mask color options too, but I don't know if mask packs in the traditional sense are the right way to get them. Some AFOLs already complain about blind-packaged products like the collectible minifigures feeling like a shameless cash grab, and mask packs — which weren't even a complete toy in their own right — feel all the more shameless in hindsight.

Anyway, that's a really cool laser shield!

I wasn't really implying that we should have gotten mask packs (even if that's exactly what I said :P), just wishing that we had more options that worked with the G2 heads. I am impressed with how many masks we've gotten already, I guess I'm just antsy for more designs to be released in the future.

 

To be honest I feel the same way about blind packages, and probably wouldn't try to get a complete collection if mask packs actually were a thing.
