It's mostly the extremities that are custom, the arms, legs and necks are the only ball-joints there are and they're all dark b-grey I think...There are a great many painted sockets. Purple (I could never match the Lego purple,) gold, aquamarine, lavender, and pink sockets are all painted. I had the same concerns about them flaking but they've all held up so far - although I'm not exactly re-positioning them all the time.

Munty Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Ah I see what you mean, I was thinking of the balljoint parts rather than the sockets themselves... jimmybob, can you please respond to your kraata thread or my pm? The pm says you read it days ago but never replied. Not sure if you even checked your kraata topic despite it being linked in your sig! Please go and do it as soon as you read this, and take my money!

Master Inika Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 This is beautiful. I just have one miscellaneous Rahkshi; Quick Healing (terrifying, huh?). He uses Vorahk's spine and Panrahk's weapons (aren't I creative?). The only other one I'm considering is Electricity, because I have a Kraata and it's the only main-six colored one. Just one thing I noticed; you changed the Rahkshi of Heat Vision's staffhead. I personally would have kept Guurahk's just for consistency with canon. But who am I to complain? You are a true fan.

Tiakor Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I've always wanted to do this as well! I once made the Rahkshi of electricity with some of my parts, but I think yours look better. I was fascinated when I was a younger fan about how many Kraata types their are and the possibilities that they have. This is one of the reasons why I love the Bionicle story so much. Seems legit.

Takhamavahu Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 These are beautiful. If I could change one thing, I would make the feet of the two-coloured ones match the head and spine rather than the hand joints.On the original Rakshi sets, the feet, head and spine were a different textured plastic than the cup joints, even though they were the same colours. I would make all the softer plastic parts match each other for Rakshi with two colours.

I would make all the softer plastic parts match each other for Rakshi with two colours.That'd certainly be interesting, however it is already said on the Wild Kraata Chart (where he got the colors from) that the two colors of a rahkshi are separated by head/spine and feet/hands. In that sense, his rendition is faithful towards canon. I definitely do see your point in separating by material, though.

Takuta-Nui Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 *clap clap clap* I remember collecting all the Kraata and obsessively categorizing them, knowing that I would never be able to raise an army with them. Say, does your army happen to be for hire? I truly appreciate the dedication and passion that went into this. It's a little gap in the visual imagery of BIONICLE that we never got, and you've presented a really good version of this.

TommyG Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Kind of want to try out that "minifig tool for Rahkshi spine" technique myself if I ever make a Silver Rahkshi. I've heard a silver one appeared in the Metru comics, but the only panel I could find on that was this, which I can't tell the colours on: Pre-forums purge sig kept for historical purposes: Some cool Bionicles are the combiners. Example: Toa Jovan I've built a Krahka with 5 Toa Metru & Toa Norik, adding parts I needed to Norik. It needs 11 blue pieces (the ones that have +&O ends) but there's only 10 in all the Toa Metru sets. Do I have to attach her launcher to her arm?

Wazdakka Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I do not know how I've never seen this before. I think my favorite part is just that I can associate the powers to the Rahkshi better than with just the kraata. Steam Name: Toa Hahli Mahri. Xbox Live Gamertag: Makuta.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 These all look incredible. They all look like official sets, which is really cool IMO. Some of their color schemes do look weird, but that's because of the canon material, so its understandable here. I have no other complaints about any of these. Great job with making them!

Zidonaro Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 They're spectacular. I'd buy the pink one for sure. Mind tellng me what mark of spray paint you used ? The fire resistance rahkshi's color looks like Kongu's teal, and I would really like to make a 2003 version of the character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that's the case in the comics. They do look like they're orange and gold however. Neat!To reiterate an earlier point, I have to ask people complaining about painting/customizing when it comes to replicating things shown (or in case of the Hagah, likely to have) with pieces or pieces in certain colours that just don't exist and may never unless there's a miraculous reason for LEGO to make that part. What's the closest someone's going to get to making an Olisi or many different Rahkshi without creating, modifying or painting parts? What do we do in that instance?
