In More Detail.

So high-quality pics of the summer sets are flitting around; rather like flies, except that BZP isn't squishing them anymore.

 

Methinks I must review.

 

MakutaVillains:

 

Bitil: Mata yellow(so it seems), and no Metru head. this is a good thing. His mask is interesting, reminds me of Sidorak for some reason. Wing piece are awesome, very beetle-like, which, given his name, might've been done on purpose. I don't particularly like the foot design, though the upper leg claw/armour pieces look promising; good ribcage material. I detest the launcher and will say no more.

 

Gorast: My least favorite of the villains, due to the color scheme(Lego, that Inika torso exists in black), feet, and the fact that a Visorak head looks horrible on a humanoid set. At least his color scheme prevents the launcher ammo from looking horrendous and messing up the color scheme further. Only reason I'd get him is for the wings, which are the best insect wings Lego has produced to date(other than the Insectoids, but those were system).

 

Krika: Very Tyranid/Alien-esque, which is a good thing. And a color scheme, were it not for that launcher(which I prob'ly won't take out of the can). Head looks very useful, somewhat like a Rahkshi head/spine crossed with Takadox and Ehlek's spines. Blades look a bit wierd, but they're not bad. A definite buy.

 

I'm not even going to bother reviewing the Nuva, as my disgust cannot be effectively conveyed through any form of communication known to man.

 

Part Two coming sometime this week.

Ever consider that they're still designing a new torso for Gorast?

 

I think they are.

 

I don't like Krika. Too stick-like. Bitil is okay, I guess, but I don't want a Matoran body with humanoid arms. The double necks are cool.

I noticed that you don't like calling them Makuta. I guess that makes sense. These guys don't seem to have the majestic 'n' menacing feel that the old Makuta (and to a lesser degree, the Phantoka Makuta) had.

 

I've been thinking about the whole "Makuta = species/title = NOT ACTUAL NAME" thing. I think that making them a species was a pretty good move, but could have been handled better. They could have remained as a race of spooky shadow demon shapeshifter spirits, like the old Makuta was, instead of clearly defining "oh, the Makuta can shoot chain lightning and produce illusions, but can't make fire" whatever.

I don't mind the concept of Makuta being part of a species, but I think the species should have a different name. "Makuta" is a title, and only applicable to one character. Therefore, I do not use the term "Makuta" when referring to this years' villains.

Gorast is female. Go read the 8th page of the OGD for proof.

 

-TNTOS-

Inexcusable fail.

 

Krika is the only villain who looks even vaguely female.

 

Greg's messing up Bionicle again.
