With this, my childhood dream of Robin Hood meeting Lego just MIGHT come true someday. <3

That mask is -awesome-. I gotta ask, where does it come from?

...So, no one's going to say anything about what's going on in the groin region? ...Anyone? ...No? Alright then, guess it's just me. But in all seriousness, I love what you've done here; you've got the whole "zombie minotaur" look across fantastically, and that reversed(?) gearbox contrustion in the torso is genius.

Hmmm. I know there wasn't anything like that - but I kind of like that look. if you don't mind, I may swipe that fora future MOC, or possibly a redesign of this guy.

I wish it were that simple. My old collection is long gone, and was sold for FAR less than I should have made. The problem is that I need to figure out what parts were used so I know what to order from Bricklink.

...I need you guys' help. I've determined I'm going to try and rebuild an old MOC of mine, Skekel, and to modernize him with new parts and techniques. However, I ran into a serious problem... I forgot to take/upload pictures of his construction. So while he looks cool with a unique, disproportionate-from-human build (even has kind of a hunched-over Gul'dan look), my past self shot my future self in the foot. So I ask you all for help in my attempt to crack the code my younger mind created for this fellow! What I do recall is that his torso is built around a Metru body laid on it's back (so the chest is facing up and the bottom is facing back), and that I used Metru forearms to create a sort of floating shoulder. I'd also like to get input in good hand/forearm designs for his modernization! EDIT: I found a WIP shot in my scraps on FA! The photo quality is bad, but I think I'm on the right track now. And I totally forgot about that hose piece; I need to find it on Bricklink!

Hah! I like the "not-SAW" you've got going on there. And gladly! I only designed a handful, but I'm still proud of them. And the gallery showing them in action, as well as a subfolder with instructions. Feel free to re-use or modify whatever you like! http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=177233

Honestly, I think this is different enough from Gorzan to be it's own thing. I gotta say, I'm impressed; I like the build you've accomplished, and I like the foot-thumbs as well. I honestly get a bit more of a Winston (from Overwatch) vibe from him, personally.

I gotta ask - is anyone else getting a bit of an Evangelion vibe with that lower torso armor and the kneepads?

Honestly, what impresses me the most is the gun; it's so simple, yet very effective! Have you thought up any more Bionicle-scale firearms? And if you'd like to share designs, I can see if any of my old custom Halo guns are stiff on Brickshelf!

I gotta say, I really like this guy! After the contest, could we get better looks at his construction?

If you want pictures of any of the construction, let me know!

Welp! I think this is as close to "finished" as this MOC is going to be until I can get my hands on 2016 Kopaka and attempt a custom torso build. I gotta say, despite being stuck to mostly a large CCBS skeleton, I'm really happy with how this guy looks; he's regal, yet fearsome - and quite large as well, his staff being over a foot long and being exactly 9 inches tall at the top of his head. And, despite all of that, he's still an extremely well-articulated figure! I do hope that you guys like the final (for now) product:

So, as some of you may know, I love Lego. I loved it as a kid, and to be honest my love for it hasn't diminished whatsoever with age (in fact, as an adult, I feel like I actually have a bit more admiration/respect for the set designers' creativity). Sadly, a few years back after an incident involving vehicles, I was guilt-tripped into selling off my old collection (which weighed in total around 300 pounds) for a measly...$600. THOUSANDS of dollars' worth of sets for a $600 that barely lasted anything. So, for a good while, I fell out of it. Then the Lego movie came out. The rest, well...I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Sadly, I don't have much to show just yet - but lately I've been getting the creative juices flowing again, so hopefully I'll have more to show in the near future!

Yeah, I'm still proud of that fella. Pohatu's been my favorite since the originals; heck, he was the first Bionicle figure I ever had, so when I do somehting regarding him MOC-wise I do my best to do him justice! (And a Bonus Onua, just 'cause )

VERY nice - and I lvoe the whole Alternate Universe thing you'd got going! I'd swap the sides for Nilkuu's weapons or gear functions, though - have him swinging the polearm so he can hold the shooter steady. Also, as a fellow Pohatu fan, I think that you might like what I did with the Protector of Stone + both 2015 and 2016 Pohatu!

Thank you so much! However, the "looking official" part won't stand up so much in this update, crossing into full-on MOC territory with some of the sub-assemblies! In this update, I've attempted to fix the following issues: -Loose/flimsy pauldrons -Shoulder instability caused by the original set's construction -Torso gaps -Torso build instability -Unsightly backs of the CCBS legs -Lack of ice crystals -Was in dire need of more chains! I believe I've accomplished all of these goals, but there's still a couple of issues to hammer out: -Needs a new neck build -Posing is limited by current elbow design -Could use a bit more ice/bones/fur -Needs more black and/or white connector pins to get rid fo the unsightly glints of red -Staff needs a bit more tweaking to make it easier to wield two-handed -May order two Trans-purple Bohrok eyes to put in the gaps in his ribs to stand-in for lungs: Regardless, here's another update! I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I enjoyed figuring out these solutions; I'm actually quite proud of some of the fixes I came up with! WIP photos of the insides: And this shot shows how the shoulder armor is attached, allowing it to swivel in.out as needed to improve arm posing: And finally, the cool outdoors photographs!

I was expecting a Gorzan head and a larger figure - but I gotta say, I'm impressed that you managed to pack a transforming feature into such a relatively small package; bravo!

Wait until I get more pics up later. I spent most of the evening making changes and experimenting with different configurations. I really got in-depth in adding detail - particularly to his torso. I took what Lego did for the ribs, and went a step further, which really helps bulk him up a bit more and solves a bit of the gap problem.

UPDATE 6/17/16, POST #5! UPDATE #2 6/20/16, POST #6! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86f_U_q4SFg So, all of the parts for Chi Sir Fangar came in, and I've gotta say - LEGO, I'm SO disappointed in you for not releasing this wave of Chima figures in North America (or at least not making them more readily available)! After putting Sir Fangar together, I couldn't help but admire him; he's tall - even for a CCBS figure - he's got lots of cool parts, a SUPER-cool head mold, and he just oozes personality. He's arguably my favorite Lego villain since the original Makuta or Roodaka - I can understand why he can go for $100+ new in packaging now while others still clock in at $20 or less! However, being a life-long proponent of customization, I immediately started breaking down my Skull Basher and started digging in my spare parts, and I've eben able to make some key changes: -Removed the unnecessary ankle friction adders/extensions, making his legs look more proportionate to his body and closing a gap between his chin armor and feet -Added claws to the feet, adding more ferocity as well as more points of contact to the surface he's standing on -Additional armor plating and re-arranging of pre-existing parts -Filling in the gap above his torso armor with simulated fur and bones -Slightly re-designing his staff to be sturdier and more aggressive-looking -Adding a simple, short tail (sabertooth cats had stubby little tails!) Even after these, though, I have a few things planned and a few obstacles to overcome: -Trying him without the upper leg friction adders to make the legs even more to-scale with his body -Obtain 2016 Kopaka and/or the Protector of ice for more white and trans-light/neon blue parts,a s well as Kopaka's longer torso with the swiveling hips -Figure out a new method of attaching the new shoulder armor so not to restrict shoulder movement as much May not be a permanent solution, but I've got something figured out already! -Find a way to fill out the torso more and add more fur/bone details -Figure out a new neck design with more thickness/fur detail than the current super-short bone piece If anyone has any solutions/suggestions for these issues, please - tell me! I've been out of Bionicle stuff for a long time, so any help I could get would be greatly appreciated! Anyways, on to the pictures (of which I'm VERY proud of; the sun was at just the right angle to really make the trans blue parts glow!): I'm already trying to figure out solutions for these problems, so there may be more pictures soon! Also, has anyone else been having trouble with Brickshelf? I've been fighting it for over an hour to get these uploaded. :X Either way, stay tuned in - a second version is coming VERY soon!

Post has been moved to it's own thread!

Thanks! yeah, I know they share a lot of similarities; sadly, there's only so much one can do when the only other CCBS figures they own are a single water protector and Worriz. I challenged myself to try and keep it to just the parts that came in the stone sets and Earth sets, and I tried to combine both the Protector of Earth's shooter and the Creature of Earth's claw functions; sadly, I couldn't figure anything out.

Hey everyone! Boy, sure has been a while; last MOC I made before my old collection was sold (and for a horribly small amount, mind you) was...dang, last one in my Brickshelf I can see was my Pohatu Mistika mod, uploaded to Brickshelf in August of 2008. Really has been a long time, huh? I doubt many of you even remember me! Well, with Bionicle's return, I've indulged myself in what few sets I've been able to acquire. It's taken me time, but I've (sort of) warmed up to the CCBS system. Having only a handful of sets, i decided to challenge myself, seeing as almost all of them fell under Earth or Stone - I was going to make combiners, using only the parts available within the sets. And here's the results of that self-imposed challenge! I may write up some lore/background for each later - but for now, enjoy the pretty pictures. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Panrahk-Will/G2/20160614_090002.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Panrahk-Will/G2/20160614_090016.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Panrahk-Will/G2/20160614_090034.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Panrahk-Will/G2/20160614_090100.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Panrahk-Will/G2/20160614_090230.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Panrahk-Will/G2/20160614_090418.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Panrahk-Will/G2/20160614_091132.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Panrahk-Will/G2/20160614_091147.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Panrahk-Will/G2/20160614_091222.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Panrahk-Will/G2/20160614_091351.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Panrahk-Will/G2/20160614_091405.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Panrahk-Will/G2/20160614_091540.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Panrahk-Will/G2/20160614_091603.jpg

Okay, I'm going to say it now - I love Broma. Not for the build (though it's very creative!), but for her personality.

Hey everyone, it's been a while! I was sitting in my room, when I heard a crashign sound in my closet - my top shelf fell out! However, in the clean-up, I stumbled across these gems... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34731726/SANY1668.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34731726/SANY1669.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34731726/SANY1670.JPG Needless to say, I was stunned - I had totally forgotten about these beauties! They're all in pristine condition too - only ever removed from this sleeve for the purpose of this photo. And, to top it all off, one of them's signed by the man that we fans of the comics all know and love, Greg Farshtey! However, I'm not sure how many of these went out, or how many are still around - so I turn to you, my old friends, to help me figure out what these are worth (if anything)! So, if anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Edit: Please link to images over 750 kB! -Wind-
