  1. As one of the owners of the elusive Sand Tarakava (no. 6 specifically), I'd have to say that this is basically a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  Bidders should know that this is as close to the real prototype as you will ever get.

     

    Munty is a good friend of mine and I can vouch for his craftsmanship, dedication to this project, and overall want to please customers.

  2. Yesterday I was lucky enough to get my Mask of Possibilities from shapeways! They said that the estimated arrival date would be May 26th, but it arrived eleven days early! I already really like this company.

     

    Here are some images that I took of my skeletal Nikila MOC and Lesovikk.

    If anyone wants to see any more photos don't hesitate to ask! :)

     

     

    My review of the product is simple and quick:  1) I love the detail in the mask itself.  2) The plastic from Shapeways seems slightly fragile to me, still strong enough, yet I am afraid that I may break it accidentally.  3) The mask is slightly big on a Metru head, but I don't really have any complaints other than that.  4) As others have said, the mask is a bit loose when putting the axle into the mouth of the head.  Is there any particular nail polish I should use?  5) Overall, beautiful detail, but the limiting material that shapeways.com provides us with hinders it from being 10/10 instead of a 9/10.

  3. That definitely answered my question, Flick_The_Brick.

     

    I did the same thing, except I was searching the BZPower forums and jumped for joy when I saw this topic. I saved up so much money to be able to purchase this Sand Tarakava. I am very new to this website as a member, but I've known of the site since 2006, and loved BIONICLEs since 2001. The B/S/T forum has gotten much cooler with Munty's arrival. I really hope all of these sell because it will give him an even greater incentive to continue this historic and immortalitizing work of art.

     

    The same thing is apparent in the General Art forum where jimmybob83 and Maphrox: Toa of Polygons are making beautiful custom-made kanohi. Each of these users have a blatantly obvious love for this community and BIONICLE. I hope that we can show them through our monetary, critical, and verbal support that we want them to continue these projects.

  4. I can't believe no one has bid on these beauties! I advertised on multiple BIONICLE YouTube videos. Everyone, Munty did us a HUGE favor by creating these impossible-to-get sets. The least we can do is advertise for him wherever we can.

  5. Kyry and Certavus are an Agori from Vulcanus and an Iconox Glatorian, respectively.

     

    Okay, so to break down all of the possibilities:

     

    1) Kyry seems too esoteric for Munty.

     

    2) Certavus follows the same fate.

     

    3) Piraka Fusion is too odd an MOC for Munty.

     

    4) Kanohi Dragon is plagued with only one picture and could be too difficult for Munty.

     

    5) Matoran Sphere Vehicle suffers the same issue as the Kanohi Dragon.

     

    6) Miserix has slight better odds, but also only has a few pictures.

     

    7) Fikou-Nui may be too simple for Munty.

     

    8) Tobduk also may be too simple and esoteric.

     

    9) Tahtorak may have some inconsistencies, but is definitely in the running.

     

    10) Ancient also seems to be a solid pick.

     

    11) Alternate Teridax may be a strange and unnecessary character, but as an MOC it's great!

     

    I'd love to see a lot of these come to life, but I think #7-11 are realistic. The Tahtorak, Ancient, and Alternate Teridax seem to be the most likely candidates, as of now.

     

    WHAT ABOUT A BATERRA REPLICA?! Something like this: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/082/9/1/baterra_by_forcelegacy-d4to5bf.png

  6. The image gallery for Alternate Teridax is available on his BS01 page under "External Links."  http://biosector01.com/wiki/index.php/Alternate_Teridax

    I'd personally love to see Ancient come to life. Again, please note that jimmybob83 has made replicas of each of these as well.

  7. I concur on Miserix. I suggest Alternate Teridax, Tobduk, or Tahtorak.

     

    Tobduk instructions: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=465699

     

    Tahtorak instructions: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=407397

    NOTE - jimmybob83 has completed a perfect replica of Alternate Teridax, Tahtorak, and Tobduk.

     

    I would, once again, be VERY WILLING to purchase another one of your projects if these were the products. I'd also LOVE Kanohi Dragon or the Matoran Sphere Transport. Please do these! Please take my money too, haha! :P
