happy birthdayyy

Nice work! Arna looks very shapely, striking, and powerful despite being a fairly average-sized humanoid build with a simple color scheme. The only parts of their build that particularly bother me are the knee joints and the length difference between the upper and lower legs, which together make the legs feel a lot less natural.

 

Visk has wonderful wolf-like proportions, albeit with a somewhat less striking color scheme. While I love Transparent Bright Bluish Violet, I feel like on a primarily black model it can sometimes blend in a little too much. Of course, I understand that your color choices were limited by the Toa Hordika Whenua face/mask piece, which only comes in one color.

 

The Mogont has the most striking color scheme and the most alien-looking build of these three figures. I especially love the Sand Yellow accents you used for the mandibles, spines, and oversized hands. It contrasts beautifully with the blue parts.

 

Together, the three make a wonderfully unconventional team, and really feel like they'd have a lot of great adventures together.

 

You're definitely right, the Visk's colors are bland – I wanted to round out the colors of the trio but it could've done with more purple than black, rather than vice versa. The Mogont was definitely the most fun to build, and I think the best of the three. Thanks Aanch!

Thanks to the staff for featuring this post! 

 

 

Not sure how these guys are exactly seasonal, but I like them!  The spear design is really neat, and I like the use of the Whenua Hordika mask as the back of the Visk's head.  The Mogont has a really nice general look to it, but its forelimbs look a bit off in their proportions.  Arna's feet have been talked about already, of course- do you maybe have any Metru feet in Keetorange?  I think they came in at least two sets- they could work reasonably well.  If not, black feet might work decently too.

Arna is orange, not Keet, but Metru feet would probably work in terms of proportions. The Mogont is deliberately ultra-lanky, kinda Xenomorph inspired I guess? Thank you!

And regarding "seasonal" – I was thinking Halloween, but posted them a little late.

 

Wonderfully done! The color schemes of all three, when viewed together, have quite the aesthetic beauty in them.

Thanks! I really enjoy making pairs of builds that fit together not just from a story perspective, but also visually.

 

These are just beautiful, dude! 10/10 bananas

WOW!! AMAZING mocs!!

Thanks guys!

 

i'd just switch the orange parts for black in the feet actually xp

Eh... xd

 

The return of a legend.

 

MOCs look great as always, I just have a bit of a technical note: the first of the four lower photos has the wrong link, it goes to the same gallery as the third photo.

 

Also, is the head of the Visk a backwards Whenua Hordika mask? If so, great use of it.

Awww too kind.  

Thanks for the tip on the link, I'll fix that ASAP.

Yes it is! Thanks.  

 

Bohrok feet have literally the same issue as the Protector feet. Might work if they came in orange but obviously that's not the case. Unfortunately I don't have enough orange bricks to make feet that'd actually look like feet, but good suggestion.

Hey trying to help as much as I can.

Still really cool MOCs none the least.

 

Sorry if my tone came across negatively – I appreciate the feedback very much! Thank you

The color scheme and the build of the "Apex Predator" is fantastic.

Thank you!

Try a brick built foot?

Maybe black Borak feet?

Try a hero factory foot or a protector foot.

Alas the only HF 1.0 feet I own are white, and still straddle the line of what's unreasonably large, in terms of this MOC's proportions... and the Protector feet (which were actually used as the base for Arna's anyway) are what I was referring to when I said "looks out of place".

happy bladeday

I very much like the colours you've used here. The hero factory and bionicle parts have been blended wonderfully. I'm not too fond of the feet for the toa and pack-hunter though.

Yeah the feet are a bit weird. I can see what you were trying to do but it still strikes me as odd.

 

Thanks for the feedback. Still working on techniques for small feet that don't look out of place.

Lovely! Clever spear design (where is that blade piece from??), and an overall excellent combination of CCBS and old parts. The Mogont is the best of the three, cool colour scheme. Does it have no eyes?

Thanks! The blade is from a Technic helicopter set, I believe. The Mogont is indeed eyeless.

Hey BZP, been a while.
Enjoy these vaguely seasonal MOCs.

I don't believe the design fits Pohatu that well, mostly because Pohatu doesn't have double-jointed legs.

says who? pohatu also has a hunchback and no actual fingers but people tend not to complain about that. this is the point of making your own version of a character

HEY there my DUDE this is a sweet build

 

love how you embraced the robotic side of things but like actually made him look robotic instead of just a brown blob

COMIC SAAANS

 

i'm biased but i really enjoyed bionifight and this brings back some memories. thank you nato 

checking in from the other side folks

 

how's life in here

Solid and intimidating. One of my favorite entries so far.

best of luck folks, quite a few cool builds in this round

These are great. Especially love Onua and his brass knuckles.

Nice color organization, simple but effective, and good work with the distribution of bulk versus bone.

time for my monthly check-in

 

how goes the spinedrinking, my backstabbing brethren

how   cool   am   i   now

Scarox looks pretty nice - the color scheme really works. Others don't go together as smoothly (Frost Beast's red-white-blue isn't my personal favorite) but it's an interesting experiment.

Doesn't look too much like Batman.

 

Love the color layering with the shades of blue.

Trans-yellow.

 

 

~Unit#phntk#1

this so much

 

actual trans-yellow instead of pohatu "yellow" green which we've had too much of
