Irrie Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Anyone find a good way to cover up the big gap in Skull Grinders's chest armor? Its kinda annoying meI was thinking about stuffing it with a black sock once I buy him. 1 Quote bZpOwEr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickonAquaMagna Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Why is anybody annoyed by the gap in Skull Grinder's armor? If anything, I think sticking it out like they have makes it look more like a REAL ribcage. Anyway... I now have all of the summer sets. I love them. Yes, even Skorpio. And Ekimu is AMAZING. 2 Quote The Toa- A Bionicle Retelling by NickonAquaMagna http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/25275-the-toa-a-retelling-of-bionicle/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your ribcage has an enormous gap on each side, please see your doctor. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfahome Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I'd say most of the Skull Buddies' aesthetic would raise a few red flags for any physician. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiddenderek Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 It just looks kind of tacky when the chest armor is sticking out exposed like that. I feel like they could have accomplished a similar look without doing it this way. The rest of the set looks great, especially from the front.

hiddenderek Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Oh wow, that's amazing! Exactly what I wanted. Makes the set infinitely better to look at from the sides and gives the chest area a more bulky feeling all with, what, 7 pieces? He did a great job.

I'm just referring to the way it juts out of the front from the spine. They can only do so much. As for Logan... what would we do without you?

Nescent Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Just finished building all the Skull guys (took about two hours). Basher is SO COOL, he's absolutely my favorite (as he has been since I first saw the preliminary photos ). Warrior is also a lot of fun to pose, and looks awesome, I'll say those two are my favorites. If you're unsure whether or not you want the summer sets...Buy them. Buy all of them, right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfahome Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I find Skull Basher to be rather difficult, function-wise. The combination of the fast swinging motion, unreinforced arms, and heavy weapons makes the function inconsistent. The blades get stuck on each other or on his horns too easily. The function also seems really loose, so there's a lot of unintentional movement and he can't really hold a pose that well. Also the way his shoulder armor is positioned means the shoulder joints slowly get forced off of the mechanism after repeated use, which bothers the heck out of me.

T.B.O.C Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Just got all of the new wave today, there were a ton of people at my local Lego store. Got the free Pirate set (really neat box, haven't opened it though), and the cashier was really nice and everything. But man, I didn't expect to be so impressed! The sets look really neat, and I love all the translucent parts, they really make them look colorful. The gunmetal and pearl-silver also look nice and make them all look fairly cohesive. Even Skull Scorpio looks pretty cool next to the rest of them, and despite what a lot of people seem to think, I like the set. Kind of wish they used trans-yellow versus trans-neon-green, but it's a nitpick. Small comments though, I kind of wish a little more trans-purple was used of Basher, and I would have liked Warrior to look a little more neat (very prone to looking awkward when being posed due in part to how all of their limbs are built differently. Warrior also feels a little unarmored to me, although that's kind of to be expected since archers aren't heavily armored. Still, overall I think the line is a lot better than I thought it would be. It's interesting to see how the reactions have changed since Toy Fair (disappointment on my part, but a lot of excitement now, especially that I own them). Overall, definitely a good purchase, although I did end up dropping around $95 with taxes.

hiddenderek Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) I didn't really like how logans fix required lowering the chest armor a peg, so I did my own fix.

emily Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 So, what is this?Is this golden Skull Warrior mask real?Haha, wasn't expecting anymore surprise collectibles this year. That's sort of an odd choice considering the general theme of the exclusive masks so far has been 'transparent version of existing mask'. Hope it comes to the US at some point, but if not that's a neat exclusive for Russian fans.

Bfahome Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) I think the markings on the Mask of Creation are just arbitrary rune-looking things, not part of the alphabet. I don't see them matching any of the symbols from the alphabet, and they're all symmetrical about the center line (mirrored, and would therefore have half of them be incorrect) aside from the ones on the center spike.
