The jaw does move and a fair bit As for the elbows. I used 3 of those hinge plates and they have some friction in the real life model. Though the weight of the torso sometimes causes them to bend to far when I move the dragon for posing. I haven't come up with a better solution that still gets this good a shape to the legs. If they ever make a plate version of these I'l gladly switch out for them. http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=30540#T=C http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=30541#T=C

You might remember the Skeleton Dragon moc I posted years ago. Well since then I've made even more changes to it. I'm only able to post pictures now since we got new parts in LDD. Changes from the last one are a new brick built head, Brick built legs and wings and some slight torso tweaks. I only have LDD pictures but will post real life pictures once a Bricklink order comes in. I'm 90% sure this is the final version but who knows maybe as more new pieces are created I'll find a use for them to improve the design further Gallery when public http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=563306 Lxf file http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/SkeletonDragon/skeleton_dragon.lxf Pictures http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/SkeletonDragon/skeleton_dragon_1.png http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/SkeletonDragon/skeleton_dragon_2.png http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/SkeletonDragon/skeleton_dragon_3.png http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/SkeletonDragon/skeleton_dragon_4.png http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/SkeletonDragon/skeleton_dragon_5.png http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/SkeletonDragon/skeleton_dragon_6.png http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/SkeletonDragon/skeleton_dragon_7.png As a bonus an Lxf file for a smaller more minifig scale sized skeleton dragon (Real life pictures of it will be posted as well) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/SkeletonDragon/mini_skeleton_dragon.lxf Comments and criticism appreciated

Thanks! But he's too large to make decent wings. Specifically gold wings. Silver wings, or any other color for that matter, just wouldn't look right. But they don't make the right kind of gold parts I would need to make wings big enough for a MOC this size. What about the fire wing pieces from CHI Fluminox? http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?S=70211-1#T=S&O={}

How'd you attach the Skrall armor to the CCBS armor on the legs? The only piece that can attach and be purist is the flick fire missile.

You managed to make an all gold and trans orange Tahu look good. Though why no Pheonix wings?

Good luck trying to take it apart after a few weeks Other that that real creative use of the friction extenders.

Here is an LXF file of Umarak's build. It has the frame that goes around the First Order Stormtrooper's blaster. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Umarak/umarak.lxf Thanks, but I'm on a Chromebook. I can't open those sort of files on that thing. Alright here are pictures of the frame I took from the lxf file http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Umarak/umarak_bow_1.png http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Umarak/umarak_bow_2.png

These are my mods to Umarak the Hunter. Changes are as followed 1. Slight change to the torso build to move the arms up and attach the Shadow trap halves to ball joints 2. Lower legs are changed to use Uniter pieces to make them look more armored. 3. Bow changed to a one handed crossbow using the First Order Stormtrooper blaster. Extra ammo is stored on the right leg. 4. Horns changed slightly so there entirely dark brown. 5. Weapon belt from Hero Factory across the chest to store dagger and another accessory 6. No longer can unite with the creatures. I could change it but it would require using blue pin which I wanted to avoid using.

Well its to hold the Mask of Control http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Umarak/umarak_9.jpg Here is Umaraks' shadow trap. I chose to give it 2 eyes instead of a chain tail to make it more unique http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Umarak/umarak_10.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Umarak/umarak_11.jpg Lastly here is Umarak wearing the Mask of Control http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Umarak/umarak_12.jpg Comments and criticism appreciated

Thanks for your opinions. First off I built custom gearboxes for them cause you can not attach a 5l armor piece directly to the torso when it has a standard gearbox on it. Second. I didn't use translucent bones cause from The Legend video there limbs were black in color. Third. I prefer to keep Ekimu's armor pointing down as that's how it looked to be in The Legend video http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/wiki-of-stickman/images/3/37/EkimuMakuta.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141108005038

It was introduced in the Legends of Chima sets.

This is my take on Ekimu and Makuta. Both share nearly the exact same build. Rather than using Ekimu's build from 2015. I went with a similar but more animation accurate design and built a custom gearbox for them. Ekimu has green eyes and Makuta has red eyes. This is cause there are no purple eyes yet and both sets of eyes contrast against there trans colors. I've made Makuta's gear function swing his left arm as in the legend video. Makuta was shown holding his hammer in his left hand. Makuta also has the same shield as Ekimu as I couldn't think of anything else to give to his other hand. With that out of the way here are pictures of the brothers Ekimu http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/ekimu1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/ekimu2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/ekimu3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/ekimu4.jpg Makuta http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/makuta1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/makuta2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/makuta3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/makuta4.jpg Together http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/ekimuandmakuta1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/ekimuandmakuta2.jpg Comments and criticism appreciated

I think the only good thing to come out of these sets is the new Egg mold.

There are these that LoganMcOwen made http://loganmcowen.tumblr.com/post/117193909330/so-heres-a-quick-mockup-of-a-system-based-voodoo http://loganmcowen.tumblr.com/post/117197528920/and-another-wider-voodoo-head-head-feel-free-to

To quote Eljay App-Lego

Skull Scorpio is an underrated set in my opinion. Sure it has its flaws but I really liked it. So I've come up with a few alternate designs that you can use to improve your Skull Scorpio set. Gallery when public: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=560545 Here is an Lxf file of all the different builds. I will update with 2015 bionicle parts if/when LDD Updates. For now I just use replacements in the LDD version. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_mod.lxf First are two different leg designs. One is more like the original and one is similar to LOSS. Both sets of legs have posability. These pictures also show off the new torso I made for Skull Scorpio. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_4.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_5.jpg. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_6.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_7.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_8.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_9.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_10.jpg Next are 3 different claw designs. One of them being the original just without the transparent orange. The third one was slightly inspired by TheDesuComplex http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_claws_1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_claws_2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_claws_3.jpg Next is two different shoulder designs. One with the arms out and one that brings the arms in close like the original set http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_arms_1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_arms_2.jpg Last up is the tail. I had a few alternate designs in mind until I came up with these four. The first one is the original just modified to be a bit smaller. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_tail_1.jpg The second one was inspired by LoganMcOwen's one http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_tail_2.jpg The third one is just a standard scorpion tail using the skull villain sword http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_tail_3.jpg The last one is my favorite. Its a slightly modified version of the one TheScorpionStrike did. Here is his video of how the tail function works And the picture of my version http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_tail_4.jpg The final pic is how I have my Skull Scorpion displayed just without Pohutu's drained mask . I added that in for effect http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_mod.jpg

I think there still in that universe. Pohatu or Onua had set up underground walls that would let them know if anything was trying to cross through.

Galactic succeed?

I tested it. I will fit on albeit a little loose but the friction will hold it as long as you don't shake it to much.

Just a heads up to those in North America. This Friday Hoopa will be distributed at McDonalds Restaurants.

Just some mods of my favorite Chima CCBS sets from both waves. Gallery- http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=560290 Starting with Chi Sir Fangar His changes are a more symmetrical build and a mod to his back spikes to remove the action feature they had to make them look more natural. http://www.brickshel...s/fangar001.jpg http://www.brickshel...s/fangar002.jpg http://www.brickshel...s/fangar003.jpg http://www.brickshel...s/fangar004.jpg http://www.brickshel...s/fangar005.jpg http://www.brickshel...s/fangar006.jpg Next up is Chi Laval His changes are poseable hands.

I also made him look more bulky and gave him a tail and a longer trunk. http://www.brickshel...s/mungus001.jpg http://www.brickshel...s/mungus002.jpg http://www.brickshel...s/mungus003.jpg http://www.brickshel...s/mungus004.jpg http://www.brickshel...s/mungus005.jpg I had originally wanted to use Humongousaur's arm for a trunk for Mungus but it didn't look to good. Here is a picture of him with it though just to show how bad it looked. http://www.brickshel...s/mungus006.jpg Last up is Chi Razar His changes are giving him his hook hand. More purple. Bigger wings and a tail along with using Shadow Matoran feet for his talons. http://www.brickshel...ds/razar001.jpg http://www.brickshel...ds/razar002.jpg http://www.brickshel...ds/razar003.jpg http://www.brickshel...ds/razar004.jpg http://www.brickshel...ds/razar005.jpg http://www.brickshel...ds/razar006.jpg I had also made mods of all the other sets in LDD but do to a lack of the Chima Ultrabuild heads and chestplates. I'll only post the LXF files if you really want them. Comments and criticism appreciated

Haven't posted here in a while but I'd figured I post this A Hoopa event is announced for the US at Mcdonalds. Hopefully when they say US the mean North America. I'd hate it if Canada lost out on this legendary. The event goes from November 27th to December 23rd. Also this is really old news but I hadn't seen anyone talk about it. Zygarde was revealed to have new formes http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Zygarde_(Pok%C3%A9mon)

This is a pretty cool representation of Papyrus. What part is being used for his nose area?

I wonder if Slimer will be a new mold or they will just reuse the Skreamer mold from the Ninjago Ghost wave just with a Slimer face print.
