>>10204741As a kid, I was annoyed how the movies and games never represented the toys properly, but nowadays, I grew to like those depictions in their own way. My favorites are probably from the Mask of Light concept art, I think these struck perfect balance of things impossible to do with toys (Gali having a more slender body type, everyone having hands, fleshy tendons on joints, etc.) while still being faithful to the toys.
Still would love to see a purposefully "realistic" Bionicle animation a-la the LEGO Movie though.
