Taria Pakari Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 It has finally been revealed (and I totally haven't been creeping threads by Hapori just waiting to find out what it would be :v). The 2016 spinny is none other than... The Mask of Control! Very good choice IMO given the significance of the mask for this year's story. I like the orange tint it seems to have to it, too. Whether it was deliberate or not, it gives me a vibe of how he looked in the first animation. So, what do you guys think of it? What would you have liked to see instead? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underscore Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (and I totally haven't been creeping threads by Hapori just waiting to find out what it would be :v).I've been doing that too, heh. About the spinny, I was almost positive they were gonna do Ekimu's mask, being gold and all, so it's a friendly surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Nice! It seems like these little animations get smoother and more fluid every year. I've always wondered how they make these so accurate-- anyone care to enlighten me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahu3.0 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 You people really do a nice job with the mask spinneys. Quote I'm just a simple man, trying to make my way in the Matoran Universe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric Light Gunhaver Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I really like this idea. I'm still a bit bummed that the fourteen-year one was Gali's mask instead of the Mask of Creation, but I can appreciate this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...so is the mask of control, right? Or did it still have some role in the 2016 story? I didn't pay much attention to it at all, so I don't know =P Or was this just sarcasm that I missed...

Voltex Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Looks pretty cool, though I dread the return to the endless days of red/orange/gold (from which the spinnies of the last two years are a welcome reprieve). Quote JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makuta Luroka Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) I feel like I might have preferred Umarak's mask of shadow, but mask of control works fine as well. Edited July 20, 2016 by Auktam Aroluk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballom Nom Nom Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I still await the triumphant rise of spinsmile as the one spinny to rule them all. Perhaps the 20 year anniversary is a more appropriate time for this momentous occasion. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reya Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I do believe the new spinny is a good choice, just wish we got a different coloured mask in green or black or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pohaturon Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Really good choice! Too bad I have to suffer through years of this Hero Factory nonsense spinning under my account to get back the Bionicle spinnies... Oh well, either way, I'm definitely holding out long enough to see this little mask! Quote Stone rocks Model Designer at The LEGO Group. Former contributor at New Elementary.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The Mask of Control was a good choice for this year. I will agree with others in that I think it is a well made spinny. I look forward to having it one day. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric Light Gunhaver Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Quick question. Since the news has dropped to many's disappointment, what will be done about future spinnies? The ones that have been chosen tie into the story of that year and the years' sets. What shall we do about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if the staff ask the members for their opinions on what the new spinny should be. Whatever it is, just hope it looks as smooth as this years one.

The ones that have been chosen tie into the story of that year and the years' sets. What shall we do about that?I don't think that's a question we'll be able answer until we get there. If something new and constraction-related comes out between now and then, the spinny will probably come from that. Otherwise, I don't know; perhaps there's an important Bionicle mask that just hasn't gotten its time in the spotlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pohaturon Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 On the topic of future spinnies, I'd prefer if the staff just picked from the massive wealth of G1 and G2 masks instead of other Lego property. Personally I'm a tad ruffled by the fact that there will be hero factory (eugh) heads under my profile. The last thing I need is even more non-Bionicle spinnies. There are plenty of unused masks to pick from. Plus, I'd love to see a Mask of Ultimate Power spinny as tribute next year. Quote Stone rocks Model Designer at The LEGO Group.

Electric Light Gunhaver Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Pohaturon, it would be awesome to see a Mask of Ultimate Power spinny. It would be even cooler if they could incorporate the aura in the spin. Quick question. Since the news has dropped to many's disappointment, what will be done about future spinnies?

At this point, waiting does seem like the best option. "Wait and hope." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
