maskmaker anon with some news - I've found a new type of plastic which will likely work very nicely. However, pic related -- I'm may have to buy a proper gas mask (like the kind painters use). Gonna set me back another $30. There's always something else...

The star wars shoulderpad was the easiest thing I've made so far. Pegs hold quite nicely, despite my previous apprehensions. Not quite as much as the regular ABS, but it has a good bit of friction. Also sorry to say I'm going to be delayed a while... Getting all my shit together.

The new stuff (Smooth-On Smooth Cast 30) is much more thin when pouring compared to the "Amazing Mold Products" stuff, which is nice. I haven't tried yet but I'm also expecting it to hold dye color better.

I think I'm going to make an OC character - a heretical maskmaker who died because of his carelessness when handling materials.

I just casted a star wars shoulder with the new stuff with little casual disregard to my own health and safety.

I hope the picture shows it - the mask is alumilite to compare. Neither have any dye in them, and the smooth on stuff not only hardens faster, it also is a brighter white and is somewhat stronger.

So I'm moderately hyped about this and also now have a headache.

>>5851559
I'm not sure how to do smooth metallic colors yet, but there's gotta be a way somewhere. It's going to be great.

Probably will have to the first time. I quickly go over mine with a can of air every few weeks. If I wait too long between cleanings, then the dust gets too heavy for the can of air and then I have to brush them off manually.

It's possible somebody has. Judging from the '01 book, "abridged and edited" means they cut parts of the side story (MNOG walkthrough), I assume for continuity, and clumsily tried to make the rest fit with future canon (see: references to "Akhmou" and the "Toa Mata"). Haven't noticed anything from the first couple books actually cut though.

I had the same thoughts about the Piraka initially and was totally put off when I first saw them. That was the whole idea behind the marketing though. It was the first time we'd seen villains first with no Toa to be found, and we were to assume they were this new island's corrupted, false saviors. It was pretty smart in hindsight. I remember being SO relieved when the Inika showed up though.

why do people still think that farshtey is a good writer? he was good enough when everything was laid out for him but when he had the power to make up stuff himself it always came out as a convoluted mess. he even admitted to not laying out his stories beforehand but just making shit up as he goes along writing it.

The seed/canister resembled a big pill or ampoule so that led to the thought that maybe this was the “medicine” that had to cure a very big patient. When pouring the parts out of the canister you were actually already playing out the story and bringing a hero to life, the legend had begun ...the rest is history.

He probably used a glatoran head, and if you didn't know makuta's mask has a pin at its top where it attaches, similar to the glatoran masks.

Not much of an update here. I switched out the three gears system used by protector Ekimu for a ball system used by 'Toa' Ekimu, which worked pretty well. By accident, she ended up about the same size, which I think works.

She still needs a weapon. Any suggestions?

I raised the gear box by a peg from what I initially had it, which now fits this shell. I put it in upside to fit the space, but I think it also accentuates her lines.

Also, partly to make her different, I used that "left hand is evil" trope to assign her gear system to her left hand. Her shoulders aren't as wide as Ekimu's, which again accentuates her femininity, I think.

I ordered the sets to make JTO Makuta, so I'll be replacing some of the gold and black shells on her shoulder and hips with trans-purple. Also, I'll be swapping the grey 'boob-plate' with a gold one from Tahu.

What do you guys think? Should she just be a female Makuta, or a female Skull Warrior 'gifted' with Mask of Control? If a new character, any name suggestions? And what sounds like a better title, Skull Villainess or Skull Empress?

Tuma is a little better, but I don't think the green 'flows' with the design very well. Just looks too tabbed on. Plus the exposed pins do look kind of bad. Cool mask, though.

It's a thing well known that people pretty much ignore the existence of the Glatorian arc and pretty much call it "Non-Canon"
Some people even ignore it so hard they'll say that Mata Nui wasn't sent to space but just "Somewhere else on the planet"

desu the glatorian arc felt more like traditional bionicle to me than most of the ignition arc. the designs had more elemental motifs again and we were back to a more tribal setting with its own mysteries and story. i really enjoyed it personally.

I emailed lego customer service about a parts bin and they basically told me to buy star wars CCBS if I want new parts. Personally, I think a parts tub would actually be really smart and I really think it would sell, because it would work with bionicle, hero factory and star wars, and I think chima and nexo knights had some ccbs stuff? all theyd have to put on the label is "compatible with: ___ ___ ___ ___" and people would buy it whatever building sets theyre into.

maybe I should try emailing them again, or start a petition or something, I really want new parts to mess around with and possibly even be able to build my own toa from scratch, headcanon a whole new generation if I want

bonus points if they included masks in the tubs too, even if they were just recolours of other ones ex. azure tahu mask

Kulta's such a bad ass, he needs the golden skull mask.

His normal mask kind of gets lost in there. The chains are nice, and I like the chest horns. The shells on the spare balljoints spread his chest out a bit, which makes him look wide, especially with the cape. The wide look kind of works, though.

I haven't had that much waiting time honestly when ordering from the US, most was like a week and a half. (not counting the $100 order I won with a contest, which would obviously take longer due to customs.)

I was messing around with some dremel attachments I picked up today. Drilled the center of the mold mark circle out, then decided to go a little further. I wish I had taken a picture of it before I made the cuts, because the skull looked pretty neat with the circle in the forehead.

Anyway, I'm going to see how this looks when I fill the area that's been cut out with some transparent red resin. There's a lot of custom potential with something like this.

US here, I've ordered from Hungary and other places in Europe relatively often and I've never had a package take more than 2 weeks. I've actually got an order coming in sometime this week for the Villain and Accessory polybags from this Russian seller whom I've ordered from twice before. If you're worried about it, pay for insurance, it's usually only a couple of bucks.

Not to mention that the Villain pack is a Russian/European exclusive. So someone who's in the states that's selling them is probably out to make some kind of profit.

How are your Makutas coming along, /biog/? Mine could use some work. I think it's a bit of a clusterfuck and definitely needs a bit more color. Plus the head, neck, and hands are incomplete. All critiques and criticism are welcome.
Apologies in advance for potato pics, my camera is out on commission so I have to use my phone.

Ok so, This is weird. I thought Bionicle was like, dead and shit.
I'm a huge 2001-2010 Fan, Im the kind of guy who lives thousands of kilometers away from the US yet still hunts down physical copies of Bionicle books. So I really liked Bionicle, alot.
I was like, ultra hyped for the 2015 reboot, but then I saw the whole "flashy colors cc BS" It was pushing, and I remember the first online flash "episodes" that were giving out the lore sucked, really bad.
But it looks like its still going, so uh, Is the lore still shit? Should I get invested in this "G2" Or is it just not worth it?

I'm proud to say I own all 2001 Toa, All 2004 Toa, Various sets and some pretty good titans ( Brutaka is bae, Lesovikk is bae too. )
So far I've taken my time gathering, I have 2 questions:
1. How rare is Lesovikk?
2. Should I hurry the fuck up and start impulse buying all the sets, or can I still take my sweet time gathering? I mean, 2001 Was 15 years ago.

On the JtO Makuta, does anyone know wtf is going on here? More specifically, how does the straight axle and pin connector connect to the rest of the body? I thought you might have had to use that Pin 3L with friction ridges below it, but the only two are used up in the section with the two technic panels. Unless you just use the normal Technic pin with friction ridges and it wobbles about?

Hey /biog/, I checked out Faber Files and apparently he made a really emotional post about HF in the past week.

http://faberfiles.blogspot.com/2016/08/flashback-to-battered-and-discontinued.html

He eventually thought that keeping that up would perhaps violate some good will he has with the companies he was involved in, and so he removed the text.

He hinted that the Hero Factory itself was something more corrupt under the surface, and once they expanded further into the galaxies of it's universe, true heroes would appear who see the factory as a mockery.

Makuta totally should have been wearing a Golden Kulta mask in the Shadow Realm. Like, he didn't have the real MoUP or his own Mask of Control. And as I see it, the red eyes in the 2015 poster were meant to represent Makuta, and those were the eyes of the Skull Mask.

It also would have been a great touch if not just to make the Villain Pack canon.

You know what's almost poetic about us having to rely on Shapeways for the Mask of Ultimate Power? The mask that Makuta wears as his titan form in the Shadow Realm isn't the real MoUP. It's a forgery, a replica, a lookalike, a substitute as he longs for the real thing. Exactly what we have to settle for in reality.

They're both mediocre but the second one is objectively superior. The first one is way out of proportion in a lot of areas, the forehead crest isn't segmented, it's really sharp and angular and the designer made it as thin as fuck. Not to mention they deliberately made the eyes closer together to make the G2 brainstalk's eyes visible and it's loose as hell.

The second one is more solid and more accurate, however there's still plenty of inaccuracies like the narrow eyebrow fins and it's kinda on the small side. We have a guy in the middle of making his own version that's superior to both though. Give him about a week to post the finished model and it'll be up on shapeways at some point soon.

use it on a head, best be gentle with it. Other than that, it's a pretty damn nice finish. Here's another image I found of the matte gold.

So after initially deciding I wouldn't bother with the Makuta competition because of my limited budget/parts, I ended up working on some ideas I had in a drunken haze and stayed up until four in the morning building this monstrosity.

Basic idea behind it is that rather than successfully returning in any of his grand overlord forms, using the remains of Umarak the Destroyer to brute force his way past the Toa's final stand caused Makuta to return as a skeletal, emaciated abomination with a mind damaged beyond the possibility of rational thought or repair. I'll probably fine-tune it some more in the time I have left before the deadline, but it'd probably be more swapping pieces out as opposed to adding more, considering the theme I'm running with here.

Thanks for the pointers, senpai. Just grabbed part of Quake Beast's arm and Korgot's drill to cover the exposed Technic, and angled the horns up to look more like a weird crown.

Not sure what to do about the shoulders/arms, if anything; I designed the upper torso so that they could be angled up and down to either be in the anatomically correct positions or raised up and bulging out like a demented abomination.

The balljoints themselves are completely redesigned, with the sockets being thicker and the balls having those shock-absorbing holes, and you'd need some serious brute force to break them.
However, those axle holes on top of the Y-sockets can still develop cracks, just like pretty much every other Technic part that has those "emergency holes" in them.

The darker, rougher one is the matte one, correct? I was comparing Vladek's mask to the polished one then. It's a bit rougher than I thought but I probably got the meaning of matte wrong. But matte gold steel and polished gold steel have the same price, so I suppose that must be the same for black steel. So we can still decide.

I don't think they're overpriced, but you are right that the way they're designed ends up making them look expensive in comparison to the traditional licensed vehicles.

The Minecraft sets fit in the normal price ranges for licensed sets, and they do fit the price per parts. But like I said before, needing to use mostly the 2x2 blocks makes the sets end up anemic, especially when compared to something like a Creator or City set.

I picked up the Ender Dragon set on discount, and was thinking "man that's a good number of black bricks!" Then when I was finished, it was terribly underwhelming.

UtD, Ekimu and Lava Beast are good as sets

Quake beast is a fantastic parts pack though, especially if you're looking for purple pieces.

Storm Beast is good if you need some Metru Blue shells

Bringing Bionicle back the way they did was a mistake, they had one chance at redemption and they didn't even fucking utilize it, Lego is dead to me and I've long since moved on to Halo Mega Bloks, But G1 Bionicle still lives on in my heart. Bionicle was canceled when I was 12, now I'm 19, and I'm angry at a fucking toy company.

I have a large bin filled to the brim with Bionicles(All G1), all varieties. I have the original 6 Toa, Muaka & Kane-Ra, a Nui Jaga, Matoran, all the Pirakha(Including my favorite, Vezon), Inikas, Rahkshi, a couple Vahki and Visorak etc.

Are these officially collectible tier or what? They're my childhood collection and are basically a frozen relic from 2000-2010.

Bionicle is generally not that expensive in the aftermarket. Given the way the rest of the Lego community views it, it's not even that expensive on the main Lego marketplace, Bricklink.

Keep them if you cherish them, but don't expect them to sell for a lot, save for a few masks, or maybe the Happy Meal Tohunga.

Not that I was looking to move them(Though I won't say never), just curious I suppose. They do make nice display pieces though I have nowhere to place them, hence the bin.

I agree that they didn't put enough effort in it (the excecs, at least. The creative team was brilliant and full of great ideas), but I disagree that it shouldn't have been done period. Compare constraction in 2014 to its current state: lots of colors missing, poor integration with Technic, only four types of prefab torsos, few textured parts, poor integration with old Bionicle parts. Sure, it's been only two years, but Bionicle once again saved constraction, from its near comatose state to new heights and possibilities.

Not to mention the massive and much needed update the original six Toa, and arguably Makuta himself, got in terms of looks.

Also, the new story was lame as shit compared to the old one, super generic, it was a yawn fest.

Threadly reminder that Bionicle is the Metal Gear Solid of toys

>MGS1-2/G1 Mata and Nuva arcs
The first few years/installments are well done classics that could arguably wrap up the series.

>MGS3/G1 Metru Nui arc
A prequel that doesn't dabble too much in the continuity, but offers an insightful and well done look at how things began for the series.

>MGS4 and PW/Voya Nui and beyond
At the expense of being a clusterfuck, the story expands to areas where it shouldn't have quite gone and felt worn out after a certain point. Some argue the series overstayed its welcome.

>MGSV/G2
Starts off pretty damn good, but simmers out as the come-one-come-all finale of the series is rushed out the door in a half finished mess and fans are left with crippling disappointment at what could've been.

It was the beginning of Greg's wild ride, and I'm not arguing that it doesn't have some good things.

However, that's when some of the charm of the first few years was lost, and the advertising for Piraka was something completely different, and not in a good way.

Just because the advertising took a turn for the worse doesn't mean the story did. Some of the best, most powerful scenes in all of Bionicle happened in 2006 and 2007. The story really kind of dwindled on Mata Nui,
>"There's some new swarm bad guys! Whaddowedo? Where are they from? Who fuckin' knows? Let's go find some shit to help" X4.
It started getting it's legs on Metru Nui, but the grand plot for the series really look off running during Ignition. The things happening in those years weren't just scenarios, treasure hunts, or damage control anymore. They were ongoing battles for the fate of the Universe, and world changing events.

I'm not saying the early years are bad; the atmosphere of early Bionicle is irreplaceable. But just because things changed doesn't make it objectively bad. It's good for other reasons.

They had to introduce a new legendary mask, new island, new villains, and a whole new arc for Makuta from 05 to 06. Not to mention how the Tohunga from 01 became the Inika had to be explained, and the Order of Mata Nui was needed as a means to explain why the MoL had ancient guardians and it's existence was a secret.

Maybe the Piraka not simply being Dark Hunter goons but traitors, Vezon, and Karzahni as a whole were unneeded but the rest seems like it had to be there.

The Nuva were strong, but massively sheltered. They thought measly Rahkshi were powerful for crying out loud. They got cocky and assumed they could easily beat by a group of beings they'd never seen before. Plus, the Piraka weren't just chumps. Skakdi are pretty tough to begin with, but they were also trained by the Dark Hunters.
The Inika were more coordinated, careful, had a better idea of what they were up against, and were just given a huge power boost by the Red Star.

For one, Bob Thompson left in 2005, and he was one of the main story writers up to that point. He had a personal outlook on the story and forced the others to conform to his ideas (like when he asked them not to make the Exo-Toa too plot relevant), so when Greg took over, some sort of change was inevitable.

There were probably other deciding factors behind the scenes, like 2005 being basically a giant ad lib, Lego and Miramax parting ways, and of course the drastic change in advertising that's already been mentioned. These all influenced the tone of the story in various ways.

The barrage of new story material, including an entire expanded universe existing off-screen, was more of a natural progression of the lore, after the Metru Nui storyline had opened the floodgates and we learned that the Mata Nui setting was literally just surface-level.

Also, this is totally wrong, too. The bone is supposed to be black, the connector is supposed to be a golden foot piece, and the horns connect to that foot with a pin swivel using those axle hole/pin hole beam thingies.

One last mistake though, The second grey axle in the leg here is actually supposed to be one of the brown ones with a stopper.
He also uses two thin bushings instead of one larger bushing on the tip of the staff, but that's already pretty visible. Everything else in these instructions is fairly accurate.

Obviously pop out the joints and dust the sockets and ball ends, along with dusting anything else. Dunking them in water is quicker for removal, but drying it and making sure there isn't any water trapped in some parts is a bit tedious unless that's something you're okay with.

Man, it was one thing acknowledging HF had potential it did't pursue, but after reading what it could have been? What it almost was? That's a whole other level of bad feels.

The Hero Factory could have been a total Vought American. An organization that wanted make money off their heroes instead of actually doing some good.

And the real heroes would have to fight the system while overcoming the fake heroes they were meant to be. They could have totally pushed a "What it truly means to be a Hero" theme.

just clean up with a duster on the shelves if you use those, and just dunk them in water before moving arms and legs. Moving them if there is dust on the ball joints makes a creak/squeak sound that freaked me out, might cause damage. Let them bonkles dry and put them back up.

Of course, they would need to keep the quaza core that they all received when built. I think it was that that gave them each their unique sentience and mind. Realiziing that the factory set them up to look like real heroes to all the different worlds they saved, as well as knowing the Factory was responsible for putting them in danger, would make some or all rebel. Basically, the factory is a lie. And fuck makuro. Oh, and bring back von nebula since they teased his return but never let it happen. must have been Lego's new policy of "not making it too complex".

I am not sure, like I said, it gives the ball joints some resistance when moving them as well as a squeaking sound whenever I tried messing with one. I've seen cracks in the pieces that grip the ball joint, but I am still not sure if that was caused by the dust or little autistic me when I played with them a while ago. Going to have to hit up bricklink soon. Instead of dunking them, you could also use a wet Q-tip to remove as much dust as possible from a joint, and dry it off with a dry one.

You'd think Lego would learn after this that they need a good story just as much as they need good sets.

I get that, but it doesn't engage them either. You ask any Bionicle fan what got them into it and chances are they'll say it was the story. The characters. The world. The adventure. It didn't just spark the imagination, it fanned the flame. That's not to say the sets aren't important, they're the important bridge between the real world to the imaginary one. I'm just saying there needs to be enough story for there to be an attractive destination.

The complications and retcons of later years ultimately hurt the brand, but that just goes to show you need a plan a clear vision for ahead instead of making it up as you go along.

What?

The Creatures being the ancient creators of the elemental crystals which the Mask Makers use to forge masks, and Umarak being the primordial balance of shadow to those elements was a fucking excellent concept that expanded G2's lore a lot. It's just that once they were added, they didn't do much with them.

It's suffering that we never got a scene where once Umarak gets the Mask of Control, Makuta tries smothering him in shadow to convince The Hunter that he actually wants to take the mask for himself. Then Umarak is all like,
>Ah... you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding! Shadows betray you because they belong to me!
as he forces Makuta's shadow powers away with his own. Then he puts on the Mask of Control, seeing that Makuta wants it back so badly, afterwhich Makuta is all like,

Set descriptions once said the mask controls the minds of others. My guess is that Makuta wore the mask for so long that he shared some mystical bond with the artifact, allowing him to channel his own power through the mask and control Umarak without even wearing it. Basically he turned Umarak into a host for his spirit, because he needed to physically walk around the island himself to collect the MoUP and bring his real, more powerful body back from the Shadow Realm.

I've always thought what made the legendary masks special was that they encompassed many powers. They were so fucking powerful that regular mortals couldn't access their true abilities and were only overwhelmed or boosted by the raw energy, like Kulta. Even Umarak, who is on the level of an Elemental Creature or Toa couldn't effectively harness their power. Only the Mask Makers, who the masks were originally designed for, could harmlessly tap into the true abilities. As time went on, they discovered more and more uses and the multitude of things they were capable of.

At first Ekimu used his mask to craft beautiful things, and Makuta used his mask to suppress the elements or regulate the heat of his materials and forge. Eventually Ekimu found that he could also use his mask to power himself with Elemental Crystals, or forge powerful and creative weaponry. Eventually Makuta found that he could also control the minds of villagers and force them to do his bidding with his mask. Makuta accessing this power beyond our realm and controlling Umarak is just an extension of this experimentation.
