EDIT: I have been busy putting together a “FanZine” on photoshop. It was a personal pet project of mine and was good fun. The magazine is still in a long development phase with changes and some possible proofreading but it will be published as a file and a PDF once I have finished the entire magazine. Enjoy!🙂

What is a FanZine?

A FanZine is a blend of fan and magazine as a non-professional and non-official publication produced by enthusiasts of a particular cultural phenomenon (such as a literary or musical genre) for the pleasure of others who share their interest.

Is the magazine weekly, monthly, or yearly?

Matoran Universe: The BIONICLE FanZine would either be yearly, monthly, or weekly, depending on which direction it would go as this is the first edition with many character biographies, possible in-depth information, and a visualised timeline detailing the history of the BIONICLE Universe.

Progress

11/12/2022 - The magazine will soon be complete in the future as a PDF format file to download. Incomplete 

I am currently working on the Makuta's biographies. The Toa Mata/Nuva is complete with each character's bios including biographies of the Toa Hagah, the Toa Mangai, the Toa Cordak, and the standalone Toa - Helryx, Tuyet, Dume, Naho, Nidhiki and Krakua.  Completed

My Visual Timeline of the Bionicle Mythos is shaping up but needed some specific requirements from Stud.io in the forseeable future:

  • Stud.io file of Piraka Masks, Heads, and Spines (2006)

I meant how often will you be updating this?

and also this could be a way to get new fans into the community(starter book kind of)idk

1) Soon.

2) My magazine (or fanzine) is something I came up with as a celebration to the theme.

3) It will also be a starter book for new fans as well as a free PDF download file to keep and share. It won't be perfect as a fan-made magazine, but it was something I enjoyed doing as a hobby on photoshop.🙂

Does anybody know how old Bionicle G1 is?🤔

The first sets came out in 2001, but obviously the concepts for the theme were being kicked around at Lego for a few years before that.

I was considering in changing the caption "Celebrating 20 years" to "Celebrating 22 years" but it could be either of them, I don't know🤷‍♂️
