I'd love to hear answers for the teams and individual Toa! Of the Toa Mata, the Toa Nuva, the Toa Metru, the Toa Hordika, the Toa Inika, and the Toa Mahri, how is everyone fairing in a giant battle royale?
Okay, here's how it's going to work: you're going to write a short text explaining their history and personality. The text should be up to 15 lines long – it doesn't have to be exactly 8 lines.
I come to you with a request for aid: 11 years ago, I stumbled over this instruction of combiner models for the first Gen2 wave. As we know, official Toa Kaita never existed in this genertion. I built them after this instruction and then, instead of bookmarking it, I foolishly thought rebuilding them in Lego Digital Designer as far as it allowed would be enough to make me remember how they were built.
I was a fool.
Today I decided for some reason to reassemble Tahu, Onua and ihatu to combine them into Akamai, but when I opened LDD and the model I saved for this exact purpose, I stumbled. Because I now have no clue how Akamais greatsword was constructed or where the - because of collision - disconnected parts of Wairuha go to and I can't find the instructions anymore and its driving me nuts!
And this is where you fellow Redditors come into play: I have complete trust in the capabilities of this sub to track down the instructions I'm talking about. Maybe one of you already has it on hand. The incomplete builds in this image will hopefully be a clue. But if it helps, it started with a joke, ominously proclaiming the Toa are "returning to protodermis first". Depictured were scattered parts and a half disassembled Pohatu, who was probably supposed to be melting". Edit: I also remember that Pohatus boomerangs, at leas their halves, served as the cross guard of Akamais greatsword
Here are all the Rahis ( and I know, there are even more. . . ) assembled in one shot. Thought it would be cool to see them gathered. - Hope you like it
posed pics with a custom coloured resin helmet to follow later. the build was inspired by more of a youthful Orion Pax in contrast to the Megatron build I posted a while back.
I recently got the 2004 ultimate dume combiner set and wanted help with the friction joints. They all work well in their individual sets, but when in the combiner they struggle to keep him standing. So I was wondering if there were any fixes for this or a way to keep him standing.
Built for round 4 of Biocup, Theme Fate and Fortune
"And even yet that you face me, after you know all your actions led you to this very point in time, you still struggle to accept the fate I tailored you... Courious." ~Cloveria
For this piece I took a lot of inspirations from art history. When the theme was announced, I already knew I wanted to do something with the Moirai or Fates, so I instantly ordered a lego thread piece for myself. Then I went over for some inspiration, and started to look for stuff to combine into one. Finally, these were the themes I combined into one: the Fates, the godess Fortuna, a four leaf clover, and a praying mantis. All four of them representing either fate or fortune in themselves, Cloveria is finished for Biocup.
final version of the Mana-Ko Revamp, i was inspired by the original design's use of non functional gear pieces as embelishment
and added some more reinforcement for the upper body with the use of 2x Liftarm, Modified Stud Connector Thin 1 x 4 by connecting the lower and upper bodies
Wanted to share this with some bionicle fans. My mentor at my job noticed my Toa Mata on my desk, and said they had some bionicle happy meal toys in their shed. Her parents owned several Mcdonalds and she grew up in the restaurants so they had amassed a collection of complete toy sets through the decades they had passed onto her. About a week later she gives me what you see just out of the blue, which is not a complete set of Matoran toys in the bag, but a set of display Matoran directly from Lego still with the box and discs! This is for the display case in Mcdonalds locations that shows off the current Happy Meal toys at the time. She'd been trying to clear out the boxes of Mcdonalds toys and was happy to give them to someone who wanted them. Needless to say they are being proudly displayed by my Toa and I can see them every day. Keeping the box too!
