What exactly does "in the 2015 style" mean? CCBS figures?

I really really like the concept of the figure but I feel like the execution feels a lot to be desired. What bothers me most by far is the gap in the side of the torso and the positioning of the fish eyes. As it is right now, I don't think it's going to have a huge field of vision, and fish as a rule don't have forward facing eyes. A simple solution to both problems would be this, easily doable with a couple system dishes and some clip/t-part assmblies, since you do actually have connection points free there: The overly long thumb spikes and inexplicable usage of dark grey in the hands also strikes me as awkward. Also, while the mask fits the figure fine I would personally have liked to see a scratch built head, more cute and less alien, to further emphasize the contrast and up the shock factor when the maw is revealed, but that's just a nitpick I guess.

It's the actual nickname I'm called by my friends and family

Even though I've won nothing the anticipation is killing me :0

Thanks guys! Yeah Maloko is the only of the mocs here that turned out exactly like I intended it. Much like Paleo's great Araxi, I wanted a non-standard design that would really stand out.

So I thought I'd post a thread for these. I'm a bit lazy so I'll just post them all together. Don't really have much of a backstory for any of them, except for them being evil entities. In order from left to right: Chernobog is just a stereotypical demon overlord, likes schemes and gloating in front of heroes. Koura Homonga is an undead king, commander of a skeleton army, he's very greedy and vain too. Nyrla'glob is the physical incarnation of an ancient slumbering evil from a different plane of existence. Garagorg is simply an angry, hungry, violent beast, not really guided by anything except for his appetite for flesh and destruction. Maloko is an evil cursed spirit, taking the form of a giant eye with the ability to shoot lazers and petrify foes. Voskor is a bone collector from the underworld, perhaps a deity dreamt up by the Manas. Thanks for taking a look!

Would a disassembled Chima Ultrabuild figure head count as a modified part? They come apart with the simple turn of a screw on the back, not really modifying the part in any way like painting or cutting would. Still, better safe than sorry.

I will have to get back to you on that. My take would be that they are System, but I don't want to commit to that. Could you ask about dinosaur tail sections too? VBBN on Eurobricks said they'd probably be ok as constraction, but better to be sure.

I'd like a clarification on how the whole 'you can post your entries on all of the sites at once but win on only one.' How is the site you win on determined? Wouldn't multiple people posting their creations on multiple sites kinda mess things up? For example another person and I post on both BZP and EB. Would one of us be eligible to win on BZP and the other on EB? If so, wouldn't posting on multiple sites artificially boost your chances of winning?

It's a bugman, it goes buzz buzz. Not really much else to say about it, just wanted to build a stylized antropmorphic bug after making the expressive face. It was originally going to have more actually insect-like wings but I couldn't come up with a solution I was fully satisfied with. In the end I settled for the purple avian ones, just pretend they're vestigial ornaments for attracting partners or something. :v Thanks for having a look!

This desperately needs some antenae on the head :v Really liking it, the stylized proportions are gorgeous.

You wake one, and you wake them all. The Bohrok are by far my favorite Bionicle sets, and Tahnok gets the title of favorite set, because that's the one I got back in 2002. Hyped up bu the now very likely return of the line and some of the other reinterpretations of classic characters that have popped up recently, I was inspired to take a shot at rebuilding one. Their faces always confused me though, never was quite sure how I was supposed to read their facial features. They're usually described as being insectoid in nature though, a swarm, so I took some liberties and made my interpretation slightly buglike. The Va was more of an afterthought, an accessory to the Tahnok. It was built really quickly and not much effort went into it but I'm still pleased with the result. Well that's it for my ranting. Thanks for taking a look!

Thanks! I've taken some pictures on a birghter background since so I guess I might as well post it here too.

Hehe, thanks. I dunno, I always liked Jinzo's stuff, I remember one of my first encounters with Bionicle online was browsing through his galleries on Brickshelf. The emptiness of the alternate angles is a bit unfortunate, yes but also a tiny bit intentional I guess? I wanted to make her seem frail and delicate, to contrast the huge hammer thing. I also ran out tubes and purple in general, whoops. Thanks though!

She's gonna kick your butt. Not much to say about this one either really, she's just a cyberpunky android with an attitude, with some added generic anime girl flair. I built the head first, inspired by Felix' Pixi Droid and the rest just came together after that. The whole body construction, color choices and even the name are sort of inspired by early 2000's Bionicle MOCs, Jinzoningen73's Riot Fleas in particular. Thanks for taking a look!

Built for my pal Iggy. It's my reinterpretation of his self-moc as some kind of space faring mercenary commando guy. The build didn't start out as the character but then I built the head and the colors fit and yeah you get the point. The torso has been a design I wanted to try for a long while now. Thanks for having a look!

Yeah, I've done the whole bushing eye thing a lot of times (look at my avatar, heh) it works really well IMO. Yep, that's a chromastone head, got it earlier today in a bin of used parts. I mainly used the visorak feet because I have a very, very limited selection of navy blue. The mixel joint is oriented that way to allow for heel support so the figure can stand up. The fingers aren't gunemtal, they're the new HF silver. I ran out of the pearly ones and just decided to go with flat silver anyway. Thanks!

Just a cartoony bot missing some gray matter. Not really much to say about this, just wanted to use some new parts I got. Thanks for taking a look!
