Cygnus Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Hello all, I have recently began looking through my old Bionicle parts from when I was a kid and came across three silver krana-kal masks. Sadly, they are plastic and lack 'sterling' on the inside of the mask, yet nonetheless highly resemble the original SSKK design. These were likely obtained from a thrift shop probably around 2008-10. Images: https://imgur.com/a/dKrnCK7 I can't seem to find any of these online. I assume these are replicas, but are they from lego or custom made? Are they uncommon? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tourmalinex Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Are they hard plastic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 Hello tourmalinex! Yes, they (I have 3) are hard plastic, very shiny and very silver. No rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknut Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 They kind of look like VMKK, which were given out to Proto-Squad members. They were hard gray plastic Krana-Kal that had a vaccum metal coating applied to them, the ones that never got coated were handed out as the GPKK. My guess it's they're more than likely that, but maybe someone who has more experience ID-ing them can weigh in. You can check the official promotional and rare collectibles topic for more info, posting in there may get some traction too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Archivist Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) The mouthpiece inside is weird. It could just be the texture/wear but it looks like a separate piece. This is not the case on at least the SSKK. They also look like shinier versions of any of the SS krana, even new, and getting one that looks brand new is difficult 20 years later. On that point alone I'd lean fake. It looks like VMKK as someone else said. But unlikely. I also see fake versions of shiny krana on Ebay constantly. I mean just search "custom silver kanohi" to see no shortage of, like, two guys going NUTS with spray paint. If you can figure out where it came from or authenticate it in some way to make sure its not a cheap replica. Also listen to whatever Tourmalinex says EDIT I guess people smarter than me have determined them to be real. Huh, I learn something every day.
