dotcom Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Nocturn and Vezon look great, but that Dume and Nivawk...that Dume and Nivawk is something else. 5.
Ballom Nom Nom Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Dume and Nivawk is the best entry in the whole contest, and easily got my vote here. ~B~ Edited March 19, 2015 by Ballom
Chro Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 GammaRay did a fantastic job making a G2 version of Dume and Nivawk... the problem is, I personally never really liked the official G1 set. Nocturn gets my vote. save not only their lives but their spirits
V-N Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Voted for #5. That Nivawk is so smooth and wonderful to look at. "What we see depends mainly on what we look for" -John Lubbock
Edelgard Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Went with Dume + Nivawk; I don't think it's my favorite entry necessarily, but it's certainly among my top three. is this the end?
Saint-14 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Are these topics sorted out by actual Chinese Zodiac birth year? If not it's just great coincidence that my MOC landed in the year of the dog BZPRPG: Akamu, Toa of Ice Talk to me about Destiny!

Rooster Nui Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Dume and Nivawk got my vote. They're both so smooth and accurate. To me, they're improvements from their original counterparts.
Gamma-Ray Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Self voted on this one The entries here look outstanding, best of luck to everyone!
shadow_bunny13 (iBunny) Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Although I really love Protector Dume and Nivawk, AND that really sweet Nocturn revamp, I think I like Vezon the most. 1
VBBN Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Oh man, stuck right out of the gate with Gamma's awesome Nivawk Self voted as well of course, but if your Nivawk makes it past this round (which i'm guessing it will) I'll be rooting for you the rest of the way! EDIT: Why are the results of this one hidden whereas I can see the results of other polls? Edited March 19, 2015 by VBBN
Petewa Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 #6. The teeth and cape did it for me.He also has epic spiky spine, ditto, 1 Mataru Nui, an Interactive Adventure
Ektris Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Well yeah, I voted for myself... But utter lack of attention was already a poor start, and to be paired up with Dume & Nivawk and Vezon... Plus I'm a sucker for Nocturn. So good luck in this race, the rest of you. ~|ET|~ Edited March 19, 2015 by Ektris 1 E-T... Phone home. "He walks among us, but he is not one of us."
Hordaki Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Nivawk and Dume are awesome, but I went with Vezon. My favorite character, and an epic revamp. Edited March 19, 2015 by Hordaki 1
socketball Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Nocturn was one of my favorite sets and the remake really does it justice... but that Nivawk... such a hard choice! and maaaaan, I didn't even notice that Vezon was in this poll, just assumed that the head was a standard one from the thumbnail... I'm a bad voter Edited March 19, 2015 by novuscarpus You can find all of my mocs, custom parts, and other lego-related stuff at Flickr, Instagram, or Brickshelf.
Mallow Toa of Smashing Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 This is the hardest category yet. Nivawk made me do a double take, Vezon looks small, but fantastic, and it really captures the character, and Nocturn looks massive and imposing. Ultimately, I think I gotta go with Nocturn. He has the best parts usage and uses CCBS the best imo. >tfw you have no idea what to put here
Aanchir Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Nocturn is a great design without a doubt, but I ended up voting for Dume and Nivawk. Despite using some questionable connections in some places like the rubber bands on Nivawk's legs, it definitely feels like a G2 version of the characters, and far surpasses the original in terms of aesthetics. Where Nocturn really fell short for me was the squid launcher and tentacle arm, neither of which feels as cohesive or streamlined as in the original set.

Space: Ocean of Awe Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I didn't even have to click on the images to know which one I was voting for. Though I did pause for a while on Nocturn, and really loved all the other MOCs, Dume and Nivawk is just too perfect. =) "Baby, in the final analyses, love is power. That's where the power's at."

Darguffle Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 These are all great, but the ingenuity used for Vezon's head does it for me. 1 Flickr: Happybuzzsaw
ToaDraco Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I had to go with #5. #9 was really close though. "Avengers? Fantastic Four? X-Dudes? They can all kiss my bony, flammable plastic."- Johnathan Blaze (Ghost Rider Vol 7 0.1)
MrSciFiGuy Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Vezon all the way.

Millennium Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Dang, it's so sad to see Nocturn being praised but not voted. I will stay with him till the end.
AdaptingChaos Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I had a hard time choosing from 5,6 and 9. However Vezon is one of my favorite characters... so... Vezon it was! Amazing work VBBN! 1
Casperger Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 If I hadn't entered, I'd have to go with Vezon. As great as Dume and Nivawk, I feel like the ccbs is a bit weak since ccbs revolves around the use of bones.
Maskmaker of Light Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Gresh: Warrior Of Jungle really impresses me. It's probably one of best CCBS Gresh MOCs I've seen. Vote in the 2016 Set Poll! 3 Votes Maximum. http://strawpoll.me/6685187/r
Nescent Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Gresh: Warrior Of Jungle really impresses me. It's probably one of best CCBS Gresh MOCs I've seen. Agreed, that Gresh really caught my eye. In another poll I would have voted for him. I voted for Nivawk, after struggling to choose between him, Vezon, or Nocturn. All three are great MOCs that deserve to win. 1
Zeb Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 That Vezon is fantastic, but Protector Dume & Nivawk is even more fantastic. So I voted for them.

Doctor Makuta Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 That Dume and THAT NIVAWK are phenomenal, they get this vote hands down. Even though Vezon and Nocturn were also pretty great.

BrickPharaoh Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Ended up voting for the Dume-Nivawk combo. That implementation was superb. I know I might be hurting whatever chances I might have, but hot dang this MOC is incredible! "Welcome to Valhalla, Warrior."

Bundalings Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Dume and Nivawk borders on being too complex for me, but man, is it cool. I want to THRIVE Not just survive.
