Bionicle Advent Calendar

[Raph]

Just got a tought, that in all these years back when we had Bionicle, we never had an opportunity to recieve an Advent calendar. I would imagine that would be with kanohi masks or other collectibles, like krana, or kanoka, or i could be all together. What do you think?

Little 'good guy' style builds of several of the major characters, one behind each door! Hilarious and horrifying, all at once 🤣

I joke, but I do think having some form of character build behind some doors would be essential; new mask recolours would indeed be very cool, but I don't think would carry the calendar on their own - I feel like a Lego calendar has to have some building involved. We might get a small character each day, or maybe larger characters with their parts spread across multiple days, in addition to the new mask recolours for them to wear.

That said, I do think, in the vein of current Lego calendars, it would be neat to have a unique Christmas-style piece included in the final day; maybe something in the style of the infected Hau Nuva mask, but the marbled colours are festive-themed... like red and white to evoke Santa's outfit or something? That could be fun ^^

These days, I think even if Lego came around with a Bionicle calendar, they'd likely fill it with little brick-built versions of characters, like the Takua in last year's Tahu gift-with-purchase set. But that could be cool in its own right; it could give all the canonically-named MNOG-toran a chance to get included; maybe finally give Tamaru or Kapura or Kotu or Taipu official set representations!

There was a nice fan made one a few years ago, but yes, it did rely on mostly being system, although it introduced some theoretical molds to give a better Bionicle look & feel. It starred a Takua on Day 1 and many of the later days were things for him to interact with, including a Pewku.
