Yes, it's a Dark Hunter minifigure. And yes, he really is meant to be that size. "Infiltrator" was once the average size for a Dark Hunter (i.e. quite big). However, one of his missions led to him touching a cursed Kanohi Pehkui, which reduced him to just a fraction of his original size. Fortunately, his diminished state meant that he was the right size for sneaking around unnoticed, which was of great use on many missions. His reduced size did not make him any less savage, and he would relentlessly attack anyone who got in the way of his mission no matter how big they were. He carried a powerful combat staff that fired bolts of energy, as well as a hand held launcher that he used to fire deadly explosive discs. He was also one of the few Dark Hunters to wear a mask (albeit a miniaturised version) - the Kanohi Siluvak, the mask of unconsciousness, which allowed the user to put targets to sleep. And here's a comparison with another MOC to give you a sense of scale: Any feedback is always welcome! (Also, sorry about the picture quality. For some reason it's stopped letting me use the pictures I've uploaded to the LEGO Gallery.)

This is a poll concerning consolidating four species into two. Before you decide your opinion on this proposal, I encourage you to read all the way through the idea. This sort of retconning is the sort that has been called for frequently. However, for those of you who think these sorts of retcons are silly anyway as Generation One ended five years ago, please be polite to those of us for whom Bionicle’s first generation lives on. A short while back, I was scrolling through the “Simplifying the Species List” topic which got me thinking along those lines. (I’ve always been supportive of the idea of less species, especially when I look at BS01’s unnamed species list, but this made me more serious about the idea.) Not long afterwards, I came up with a theory of my own. Various parts of my idea were discussed in the “Simplifying the Species List (again)” topic later on, although none of them reached the full extent of my idea, yada-yada-yada. So without further ado… Behold!! Here’s my theory: Conjurer is part of the same species as The Shadowed One. Tyrant is part of the same species as Ancient. Both of these races are based on the same island. At some point during the war on Ancient’s home island (which I will refer to as the Ancient War), Tyrant gave up trying to make something of the war. He left the island, found another southern island that he conquered, and harbored plans to add to his kingdom and power. At some point during the Ancient War, Conjurer gave up trying to make something of the war. He left the island, found another southern island that he conquered, and harbored plans to add to his kingdom and power. (These, of course, were frustrated as Matoran make notoriously poor conquering armies.)Points Four and Five are not in the order they happened; they are interchangeable. Here’s the evidence: TSO and Conjurer both have similar heads and builds. Their race is related to, but not necessarily the same as Krekka’s species. Ancient and Tyrant both have similar heads, tails, and claw hands (but not Claw Hands J). The fact that all of them might have been rivals on their island may provide additional reasons why Conjurer and Tyrant are so insolent to The Shadowed One and Ancient. The fact that powers (and to some extent, anatomy too) vary is of no consequence: anyone in the war may have been experimented on or modified, and that says nothing of the possible accidents that happen in Bionicle. Both TSO and Conjurer either claims to have or actually have powers of disintegration. Additionally, Tyrant is impervious to extreme cold and Ancient’s home island is one of “shadows and ice.” Just a thought.Here are the benefits: It would consolidate four species into two. It would increase the significance of both races and also show multiple occurrences of them. As someone else said when I pitched the idea to Greg Farshtey, it would increase the significance of the war, not leaving it as little more than an insignificant conflict with no effects outside of the one island. Expanding on our knowledge of this war would add depth to the events that would result in the birth of the Dark Hunters. Even the Skakdi civil war had its effects on the rest of the universe—why wouldn’t this?I’ve run this theory by Greg and he says he’d be fine with it if the community is. Tell me if there’s anything you need clarified. I may edit this proposal to add new information and evidence. Please do not vote until you’re absolutely certain nothing can change your mind. I only recently became a member, but yesterday I was reading through one or two pages of the What’s up w/ the rampant canonization topic, so I’m well aware of the ideas of both sides. I obviously support canonization to a point, but I do see very good arguments against the LMB activity of late. I will try to make a good effort to sway you in support of this. If this actually does work, I have another theory to consolidate races further, but only if this works. Edit: Okay, I'm sorry. Either only Premier members can make polls or something went wrong. Whatever. Consider this not a poll but a proposal. How embarrassing...

So recently I've been working on these in my spare time that isn't spent in other ways. I, so far, have made Tahu, Gali, Lewa, and Onua. I only gave detailed pictures on the first and last, because Gali and Lewa's body builds are pretty much identical to Tahu's. I'm going to finish making the Toa Mata (eventually), then move onto the Tohunga, Turaga, Rahi, Bohrok, and who knows what else. My plans are that I will build Mata Nui-esque environments, then bring them to Brickfair NE in the spring. I'll post more pictures as I make them, but for now, here are the four Toa before mentioned: (Image links to Brickshelf Gallery [when public]). If it isn't yet public, here are the direct links. Tahu pose one Tahu pose two Tahu post three Onua pose one Onua post two Group photo Aaaaand yes I know the weapon in Lewa's hand isn't an official LEGO. I got it from Brickarms at Brickfair, and just couldn't resist using it for Lewa.
