Granted, but your brain is so big your head collapses.

I wish for a cure to the illness! :3

I'll only grant it when you grant mine. >.>

I WISH FOR MAH MUAKA TO LIVE!!!

Granted, but you now have the great mind of Caboose.

I wish for my Muaka to live! ;-;

Granted, 4.

I wish for this Muaka to be my pet. :3

Granted, but Pohatu mis-kicks and lands on straight to your groin.

I wish people would stop beating on this Muaka's stomach. ;-;

Granted, but the power is too much for you to handle and drives you mad.

I wish I'd stop getting eaten...

Granted, but she hates you with a burning passion.

I wish I wasn't covered in puke. ;-;

Granted, you now have your own personal slave the throws flames at his own will.

I wish I wouldn't disintegrate. ;-;

Actually if you're talking about a dark red as being maroon, those pieces do exist. They came in several of the Chima Ultrabuilds as well as Pyrox from the Brain Attack wave of Hero Factory.

 

Gold is also pretty common among CCBS pieces, particularly in the old Rocka Hero Factory sets, as well as being able to be obtained through some of the new 2015 Toa.

 

If the option of buying sets is too expensive, as it does sound quite pricey, I have no doubt the pieces can be found on Bricklink for a reasonable price.

 

As for the initial question, I unfortunately can't say I know for sure which type of paint works best. I am a purist MOCist and have had no need to paint pieces as of yet.

 

Hope this was helpful

It was indeed helpful!

Which Chima sets did the maroon pieces come in? Because I'd love to get some. I already have tons of gold, but wouldn't mind some more.

Also, I was just using this as a reference, as I was considering doing more non-purist MOCs in the future.

Granted, the list also includes 100 skull spiders, LoSS, and much of the wildlife of okoto.

I wish I at least had a blanket to sleep in Dragon's stomach. :/

I'll be using a Le-Koro shield

I dunno... I was always a fan of the Wind Flyers... :3

For my comic series I'm gonna be working on this Summer, I'm going to be creating:

 

 

 

I would say iron would work best. Iron or steel. Hammer shaped. One side flat for direct shots. The other side a curved pick so the ball can be redirected mid-air by using the curve in the pick.

That would be pretty unwieldy. Plus, I'm not a metalsmith, so I really have no way of doing that. By curved pick, do you mean like a pickaxe or like a hammer with the two prongs? Another thing to put on the other side would be a hockey stick-like paddle to just dribble the ball.

 

I might just look up how to make a wooden mallet and stick it on the other end of the shaft. I'm not afraid of a wooden club breaking or anything, since wooden golf clubs work very well.

 

As for the scoop, I was thinking of getting a relatively strong piece of metal (maybe a cylindrical rod) and bending it into shape, and then laying one strip of nice thick sheet metal across the bottom. Not only would it make the scoop lighter, but it would allow air to pass through.

Alright, so not iron or steel.

 

I mean like a pickaxe. But the underside curved. Also dribbling the ball isn't really something done in kolhii.

 

The scoop sounds like a nice idea, I approve

 

I meant dribbling in a soccer meaning, not a basketball meaning, if that's what you thought  .

 

I've got a rough sketch of my ideas drawn up on paper, but I don't feel like scanning it into my computer right now. I'll have that tomorrow, as it is pretty late here.

 

As for a ball, I'm thinking just a normal solid rubber ball, about 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter. 

 

The shield will be the easy part. Of course I'm going to paint it in the colors and designs of a Koro, so which one do you guys want to see? I'm thinking Ta-Koro, bcause it would technically double as a guard shield as well  . Po-Koro would look nice, too, with natural brown and tan colors.

 

Ta-Koro shield, perfect for Takua cosplay.

 

 

 

So I guess it's my job to develop the equipment  . Would there be any kind of body armor involved? I feel like soccer shin guards would be a good idea, as well as some sort of vambrace to protect the lower arms. Goalie (or Koalie if you like) should probably be more armored. Maybe a helmet and face shield, too? A goalie should also have a special one-armed armor, since the other arm holds a shield. Keep in mind I'm talking about the lacrosse style Kolhii, as normal Koli wouldn't be to different from soccer in terms of gear etc.

Assuming the ball is a little heavier than your typical soccer ball, then there will likely need to be standard soccer attire (cleats, shin guards, ect.). Usually goal-keepers don't wear that much more protection than the players (aside from padded gloves), however since the mass of the object flying at them will be greater, they'll probably need some sort of chest padding that protects the upper and lower torso. They might need a facemask, but that would depend on how heavy the ball is (if it was closer to a bowling ball then yes, but more like a soccer ball then no). 

But remember, the heavier the object means that the shorter distance that it will be kicked. So if the ball is really heavy then that doesn't necessarily mean that the goal-keeper will need to be heavily armored, as it might hinder their mobility and thus their ability to block shots. 

 

I guess you're right if you're playing soccer-style Koli. In my mind, I'm imagining playing this with a soccerball-sized medicine ball, so it's probably going to remain groundbound for the most part. So yeah, basically standard soccer gear. When I was talking about the gear, though, I was referring to lacrosse-style Kolhii in which the ball is probably pretty heavy and about the size of a softball. The goalie would definitely want some full body protection if they're going to have softballs flung at them.

 

In a couple weeks, I'll have a lot of time (summer vacation and all) so I might actually work on developing a Kolhii staff and shield.

 

I'll be sure to hang around this thread, I can't wait to see what they look like! 

 

Totally gonna keep checking up here to see the progress.

Granted, the glass overflows and you drown in the orange substance.

I wish for a pet dragon.

I just feel like people would need as much protection as possible with a sport like this... so yeah, go with all that.

 

 

 

Guys, I just realized something. If we play the lacrosse-style one, we'll need shields. Also, here's the official in-universe rules for Kolhii:

From BS01:

 

 

1. Teams number more than one but no more than six.
2. Teams may include any number of players greater than one, but no team will have more players than any other team.
3. All teams agree to the number of goals needed for victory.
4. The first team to reach the number of goals agreed is the winner.
5. All goals are good goals provided they are not own goals, as own goals are not goals.
6. Each team is allowed one defender who may carry a shield, but no other player may use that shield (other than in cases of 11th rule).
7. All players may carry one Kolhii staff, and one only.
8. Any number of Kolhii balls may be played, but balls in play must number less than either the number of teams, or the number of players per team, whichever is the smaller number.
9. Any player who strikes another player did not play well. Shield and staff strikes are excluded from this rule as those indicate the players are playing well.
10. Any player who does not play well brings dishonor to their village.
11. Any pitch invasion by Rahi, or other beasts, postpones the completion of the game until the problem is dealt with.

 

 

This world needs a new gladiator-like sport.

 

Gladiator/hockey/soccer/lacrosse with shields. I like it.

 

This needs to be a thing.

Hello all! I've been wondering this through out my day, as I have a cool idea for a MOC, and the color scheme I'm aiming for (Maroon & Gold) isn't exactly available as official parts in CCBS... so I was wondering if anyone did any personal recoloring of the CCBS bone parts, or would know how to do so effectively and efficiently, so that the joints could still move pretty well without there being too much friction. Is spray-painting an option, or is there a special type of paint used for this sorta thing?

Sorry if this question has been asked and answered before, and if so, could someone please link the discussion and get this topic locked? Thank you.

I'm hoping for some bionicle titans as well as a Makuta figure.  And more Bohrok aaanndd....    MORE MASKS!!!!!!

CCBS Bohrok would be awesome.

Granted, look at your profile pic.

I wish for world peace!

Granted, it's infected with the flood virus.

I wish I was out of school.

G1 and G2 Bionicle connection confirmed!

 

Joking aside, I do admit that they look a lot like Skull Spiders. Though I don't recall the Fikou ever having the ability to take over someone Krana-style.

Joking? I see no jokes, only facts. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Granted, you get 2817.72 dollar signs, enjoy.

I wish to have a purpose.

Granted, you now have a girl named Summer.

I wish for school to be over.
