Makuta Of '08 Thoughts
Here I go again, stating my opinion of the 2008 Bionicle sets. I've given some thoughts in other people's blogs, so perhaps you know what I think. But I will also give extended thoughts and reasons, opinions, mind you, about these.
In general, I'll aim for the red one, then the black. (I don't usually go for the blue)
I like Antroz's (red one's) build of black and red, as that is evil. His wings and weapons are cool, definately staff/pike material. And someone said it might be normal red and I hope they are right. There has been enough darker colors, so let's even it out. On and off. Alternate colors. (For Lewa's sake)
Chirox's (Black one's) build is cool. He has new feet and Nuparu Mahri's armor in a new color. His weapons and wings are cool. Only problem is his stubs of Hordika skulls for hands, but they work, I guess, for a baddie. Is that a silver Toa Metru chest piece on his waist? I need some of those.
Vamprah (blue) is more spider like as he doesn't have feet. (But blue Mahri-toran blades! That makes up the difference)
Interesting arms/hands/weapons.
Um, does he fly? (Too bad he's a he and not a she. We need some villainesses.)
I like the heads on all of them. Glaring with some form of mouth, ready to strike without a second thought. Turns out they have Kanohi, too. Like MoMN.
I just don't understand their chest/orb thing. I guess I'll have to wait for the comics.
I've been thinking, and there was also the comment by xccj. Wouldn't it be awesome if the summer colors were:
Bright green (with perhaps dark green, being bad guys and that color scheme hasn't been used yet)
Brown (wishful thinking. But picture these guys in brown and it just might work. Maybe brown with a black or gunmetal or keetorange secondary color. Or if brown was secondary then we'd have brown double joints! Now I'm just getting ahead of myself.)
White (well, that's obvious. I don't have much to say about it except other options would be the dark white (which we need more of MOCing-wise) or a white and light bley combonation. But he's a baddie so I guess a full white body is ruled out. Some shadow is needed)
As you can tell, I like these sets a lot more than the Nuva. The Makuta look the part and I feel they will have lots of attitude.
