  1. Past hour
  2. You guys got it pretty much figured out but I thought it wouldn't hurt to chime in. If those are from Poland, they are 100% copper. Poland has been a consistent treasure trove of these as it appears they were distributed there individually and in large numbers unlike anywhere else in the world. Poland is to the copper Komau what Scandi countries are to the brown Komau, essentially.
  3. Today
  4. Couldn't get past the first scene? Oh yeah, I forgot that Mask of Light was filmed on location.
  5. The pattern is that each one focuses on the line from 20 years ago.
  6. Yes, THOSE pictures are prototypes, but what is this supposed to be proof of?
  7. Aaand many weeks later, here we are. First off, Scott is on the list of characters to do! Have I ever mentioned that it's like, 2-300 characters? Been a minute since I last looked at the list tbh lol. Now, far as this little round, we got: Dareth, Skylor, Ronin, Skylor (all from Ninjago), Azure Lion (Monkie Kid), Mr. Oz (Dreamzzz), Good/bad/scribble Cop, President Business, Rex Dangervest, and a redrawn Emmet (all The Lego Movie), and finally, Mata Nui should need no introduction on this forum lol. I'd like to think my Mata Nui interpretation looks a lot like his toa form but at GSR scale. I've done it! I've drawn 100 of these! I'm taking suggestions on the next character. I admit I haven't been great with getting to in-demand characters, but since 101 is like a new cycle, I'm taking major input from others on this one. I think it should be a theme I haven't covered yet. Hero Factory? Friends? City? Oh also one last pic since now these make a nice 10x10 layout Thank you all for the support ❤️
  8. If the price of the shipping + taxes is something you would accept, I can send it. I just prefer shipping within EU because its cheaper and easier.
  9. I knew these specific images were prototypes, it's obvious because of the rip cord color. There are tons of other Visorak images that aren't like this, though. When I clicked this, I thought you meant ALL Visorak images.
  10. $1500-$2000. It's rare but I don't think you could justify much more for plastic personally. I imagine this will be an easy mask to counterfeit down the road too, fan made mask recolors are getting really good.
  11. You're putting us on the spot a little bit with that question. I can't imagine something like this would be cheap for you to do, and I'm not comfortable arbitrarily throwing out suggestions or requests without knowing what I'd actually be getting. I'd recommend first having a look at what this service you're contracting is capable of. What colours do they have available? How closely do they match official Bionicle parts? Can they blend colours? What will it cost? Do some tests to see if there are any issues with fragility, quality, detail, etc. Take some high-fidelity photos to show people the quality of what they'd be getting. Then, if you decide it's worth getting into selling/distributing, maybe put a poll on Reddit, some community Discord servers, or somewhere else with greater reach to gauge what kinds of Kanohi people might want, and what colours they'd like to see.
  12. here is my proof. look to the circled areas. you can see painted parts and 3d printed parts.
  13. @Nato G @doodleloot I'm thinking about using a injection molding service to make existing masks in new colors. I would outsource it via a prototyping company (what colors and masks would you want?)
  14. Absolutely, and the market for it already exists. There are numerous creators in the community who produce parts resin casts of existing pieces in new colours.
  15. I haven't yet, but I think eventually I want to get some. The quality of a lot of the recasts being sold has gotten so good that they look pretty much like the real deal, it's honestly really cool. And there's just something kind of magical about seeing the old maks in colors that were never produced but featured in MNOG or other media. And I don't think the legality is much of an issue, the quantities being sold are comparatively small and it's not like Lego is selling these masks themselves anymore.
  16. Why should I care, if no one else does?  Has been my attitude towards a lot of things for a long time, but I never thought the day would come where I'd say it about my writing. 

    How much deeper can rock bottom's basement go? 

  17. ASMR Alise rambling (technically the video is word association, but I'm still right).
  18. Yesterday
  19. just putting this out here I know it's probably illegal (an example would be a metru komau in dark green)
  20. @Michalso are you fine with the parts being in the us?
  21. area to attach shield like the breakout version yeah I made nex after
  22. You're right about that, I mentioned your last point as a possibility in my post as well (doesn't explain the Tridax Pod though, since that's completely different from the production part). But then again, the original poster themselves weren't even trying to sell these off as protoypes. So it's just really weird situation overall. I've sometimes seen people dismiss genuine (that we know to be legit) prototypes as "fake" because of them featuring printed parts and some people immediately take that as an indication of them being fan made or fraudulent. But you're right, these look like they could also be from Shapeways and admittedly, the print lines on these look less noticeable than for example the Lewa Axalara prototype parts from Toy Fair. Comparing the print from the images with the shadow leech mesh from Stud.io though (at least the one I have installed, from the Biopack/Stud.io pack), I'm not sure it's the same model, and I'm a little inclined to say that it is not. The Stud.io mesh is really lowpoly (it just looks smooth in stud.io because it's smooth shaded, which makes no difference to the actual geometry of the mesh when you print it), especially in the back, and even though the print is small, the back hull is still super round in the print and you don't see any of the faceting that is present in the Stud.io model. I'm pretty sure at least some of that jaggedness would show through. There's also a few other details that don't seem to match up exactly, like the fins having rounded off edges in the print, but being sharp on the stud.io model. I know Shapeways offers a polished SLS method where the print gets some of the surface finish removed, so that might explain the edges being more rounded, but from my experience printing with them, I doubt it would be able to clean the lowpoly jaggedness up to this extent. But who knows, it could also just be a custom or modified version of the model. That being said, the Tridax pod is still really weird as it seems to be a completely unique mesh, and doesn't match up with the Stud.io one at all. Both the outside decoration as well as the inside structure are completely different (plus the same issue with lowpoly geometry as the stud.io shadow leech). The pod is honestly the most notable part about this whole thing to me that makes me think there could be something to this. I also wasn't able to find a Tridax pod model that looks like this online anywhere 🤷‍♂️ But hey, I could also be completely wrong, it's just some things that stood out to me. Still think it would be interesting to get more images from the new owner if they're willing to share some and be able to take a better look.
  23. The reviews are overwhelmingly negative, which is hilarious. I might grab it in the future when issues are fixed and there’s a price drop, as well. As for the last game I played, Slay the Spire. Wonderful game that I swear is impossible to beat. Not even with the best luck and most stacked layout can I beat the final final room.
