Icarax...


Turaga Dlakii

221 views

I bought him today. And I'm reasonably impressed. Here's why. Obviously.

 

His shield is good. It's a pretty neat design, making good use of the old Hordika arm. Though it's not the nicest-looking of parts, it can be easily hidden behind the shield.

 

His legs are of a great design. I never thought the Visorak-foot thing would work, but it did. And of course, the joints are ingenious, fulfilling what was attempted on Ultimate Dume in 2004. (Now, I am the master.... :evilgrin:) The claws work well, too.

 

The wings are attached nicely too; haven't seen that before. Simple but effective. WATCH N LERN VAMPRAH!! :lol:

 

The downside? Everything else. From the waist up, he's just too unarmoured. His legs are nicely kitted out and protected, but everything else is too thin and unarmed. No wonder Ignika owned him. (:P) ToM had the right idea with the spike shoulder armour (see this entry in his blog). The other main issue is his green eyes. He needs orange, to uniformify with the others. Was it too hard to reforge that eye style in orange?

 

Those issues aside, I still like. :D

Good for you! ^^

 

But to be honest, i've really had no interest in the sets or the storyline anymore... it's all gone downhill after Metru Nui (in my opinion) I bought the Hordika, and Visorak, and it was all a big mistake, I hated them and they were only good for their pieces, but Icarax did look like he came with some good pieces, but the storyline, is just shameful in my opinion and very lame. No more ranting ><

 

Congrats on your set, I hope his pieces do you justice :)

Personally, I can't blame you. I still follow the story, but compared to even Metru Nui, it's pretty bad. The thing that made me REALLY wake up was seeing the travesties that are the Phantoka and Mistika Toa Nuva. That made me think. And so I decided that next year, unless it turns out to be absolutely brilliant, I won't bother with the sets anymore. In the meantime, I'll just get Onua, Takanuva and the Rockoh, and that'll do me nicely. Needless to say, I won't leave BZP, and I'll just keep MOCing and creating my own stories to distract me from the real thing. "I reject your reality and substitute my own".

 

Your complaints are well-founded, and undoubtedly mirrored throughout BZPower.

 

But you do have a point with the parts. Imagine what I can do with two black Hordika armparts, two Kraahkans, and four of Antroz's claws. :evilgrin:

 

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go and reminisce about the 2001 story. :P

Thanks, my reasoning too, I am definetly not leaving BZP after spending $35 for a premier membership.

 

You gotta love Mythbusters. ^^

That's probably one of the best quotes in the history of TV. Pity I didn't get to it first...
