My LEGO Childhood

[That Matoran with a Vahi]

Not specifically Bionicle, although Bionicle does feature...!

Link to DeviantArt for the full size version - and the full (LONG) description! - but in short? A selection of Lego characters who were significant to me during the years of my childhood in the fandom. Many themes and characters are represented, not all of whom I owned but all who had some impact in the way I perceived the LEGO world at the time. And also since I threw out all my childhood drawings a decade or so ago now (and have come to regret it!), I wanted to still have some existing artwork of the characters who I'd loved so much during that time.

Years represented are generally 1998 - 2004, although there are a handful of exceptions. (My childhood Lego phase technically began in 1999, but a lot of the '98 sets were still around and still featured in the comics of the UK Lego Adventures magazine, which had been my entry into the world of Lego themes in the first place, so they were nonetheless relevant to me; and some characters like Captain Redbeard, while long gone from the shelves by then, were kept relevant by the Lego video games ^^)

Anyway, this took me a while! I've been working on it, on and off around other projects, since March...!

This is beautiful! I especially love Danju, Kopaka and Junkbot.

What a great lineup! You captured that era of Lego well here - Love seeing the Rock Raiders, Junkbot, and Life on Mars minifigs. 

I imagine a lot of other BZP users also grew up in this era, so it's awesome to see a group picture summing up those sets.
