Humble_Matoran

I think this is a really good point, which is why I guess I naturally gravitate towards matoran. I'm surprised no one has mentioned McToran yet, as I use that quite frequently Also, whenever I hear 'Tohunga' I think of only the 2001 Matoran, which is probably why I tend to lean towards using 'matoran' for all of the years edit: Ironically enough, I just realized that my BZP rank just went from 'Tohunga' to 'Turaga' (I don't think it was ever 'Matoran')

This is a great question. I think pre-2005 I really like what they did in just keeping it 'Makuta', because in addition to keeping him a mystery, they kept the secret of their being more than one Makuta from us (which is basically a staple for Bionicle). After it is revealed though that there are other Makuta, then I think he should be called Teridax or Makuta Teridax, to distinguish Also: someone's going to the principle's office I don't know if I can get this out of my brain now

Thank you for posting some high-quality photos! This is really a cool sight to see and I need to have it now

such a shame coming so close to a full set!

ah okay I was wondering, I have used photoshop in the past but only Sketchbook for about 1 semester - but it seems to be really gaining a lot of popularity lately and people are doing some really cool stuff with it! Speaking of which, nice work on the Kaita! I especially appreciate the little keychain details (and all 8 of these jackets look like something I NEED)

pretty cool! Love to see how Bionicle has inspired so many of us in so many different ways What software did you use for this?

clearly he has posted a lot of huna's for sale

Ooh, I'm definitely interested in this item if you are selling. I know these aren't super common, but a few people over at TTV have some (Eljay himself I believe, and a few others)

I totally understand. I will let some time pass, and message again if there are still any available for purchase

Not sure if you are open to selling, but I may be interested in picking up some of those kakamas

okay okay, you have my interest

the real question is, is Hapori Tohu a rahi?

I'm currently working on this very idea, actually. I'm not yet at the point where I have a full home setup where I can do this yet, but am taking some steps to do so. Custom kanohi is something I've wanted to get into for a long time (I have a product design degree so its up my alley). I will keep this thread updated

Haha I was wondering that as well, I sent him a message because it is a bit hard to tell from the photo (he hasn't responded yet)

I too wait on the edge of my seat

I smell a lesson learned through experience here

"oops" -Lego But yeah, it is kind of a weird subject. Matoran definitely see krana as rahi, which I can see in their mind, and especially since the queens are rahi. Kraata is a weird though because I always veiwed them as 'extensions' of Makuta...I wouldn't necessarily call that a rahi, but I honestly don't know what I would classify it. Kind of like Makuta now has his own 'species', for lack of a better term. Good point though, I guess it depends on who is defining things and the matter of perspective. Especially since the games were from the matorans' perspective

Let's not forget our big orange boi made the cover of a dark hunters book

Well this is incredible I'm actually just about to read issue 1 of this comic series tonight! Yeah, I can see that. It is a bit lighter, and also is more vertical directly under the eyes, both of which look like the movie version of the kanohi

Nice designs, & great photography! Harke almost reminds me of a 'G2 skull villian matoran', if such a thing could even exist

This is epic! Cannot wait for this to come out, I'll definitely be sending in some questions Seriously. That we can even look forward to an event like this, so many years after 2001 (and with multiple cancellations), is incredible.

This looks like an excellent idea. Especially for the kiddos involved, now they can look forward to going to a sort of therapy session. Very cool

I NEED this as a set. This is incredibly hilarious and equally well done

yeah, like @Lorentz said, these were never intended for a final look. Lots of companies that have parts in development will keep the ID on them for identification purposes (or other purposes) when a final design is still being chosen. Found a few interesting images

Yup, these are great tips! I think Eljay has a video out there somewhere as well for cleaning parts edit: found it!
