Cheesy Mac n Cheese Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Okay. It appears they're from LEGOWorld2003. EDIT: LEGO has had a presence at every San Diego Comic-Con since at least 2003 judging by a search for "comic-con" in the BZPower news archive, so I'm sure they'll be there this year. I wish they'd come to Chicago Comic-Con... Also, BIONICLE will have a presence this year whether LEGO itself does or not, according to this article.

Out of curiousity, where did you find that Kalmah pic?

Avanis Toa of Light(2) Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 WOW! I never even knew half of these things existed! I live in ohio which back then could have been practically considered the boonies because there were NO lego stores, NO legolands and NO huge presence of lego here. now I hope that they have an event where everyone participates in building like, a huge statue of tahu or something for G2, similar to how they had that event for building a huge yoda. really loving the Vakama statues! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a non-brick Onua at Legoland Winsor, not sure if any pictures exist. Out of curiousity, where did you find that Kalmah pic? Pretty sure I took that one... I honestly don't remember. I found that picture and uploaded it to my Brickshelf on April 20th, 2008. A reverse image search might reveal the source. Do you recall where Onua was located? IE by/inside a shop, next to a ride. Searching for his specific location might find an image. Nice job on getting featured on the BZP front page!The work you're doing here is excellent! I didn't even notice, because I came right to the forum without going to the front page first. That's awesome! Thanks for making this a hot topic, guys!

Couldn't find any pics, though. EDIT: While searching, I found this creepy-as-heck Tahu statue.

Couldn't find any pics, though. EDIT: While searching, I found this creepy-as-heck Tahu statue. That's a guy in a suit. I guess they wanted Tahu's anatomy to be as accurate to the set as possible, which human anatomy would be incapable of, so they made it a weird puppet-like suit. Kind of like the costumes in the broadway version of The Lion King. EDIT: In that same gallery, there's a poster of the Kanohi. In the Kaukau section, instead of Kopaka's and Pohatu's Kaukau, they have the two misprint trans-light blue and yellow Kaukau. Interesting. EDIT 2: The only non-misprint Matatu is Nuju's light gray one, and ALL of the Ruru are misprints. Weird.

Prowl Nightwolf Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Well that Tahu Nuva is not quite as accurate due to showing off the human flesh underneath.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) I remember seeing a video of that Tahu Nuva mascot (on BZP, I believe) and was super impressed by the way the hands moved, like they were actually attached to a ball joint.

Prowl Nightwolf Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Most likely a foam rubber or other light weight material that keeps movement restrictions to a minimum.
