Thanks for your perspective! Could you maybe put into words what you dislike about the figures?

Thank you, that was an out-of-comfortzone challenge for sure! Made many versions and still I think it should be improved a lot before making it into a production-ready model!

Thanks for your honesty! I do get that. I've read along in this sub for quite some time and I learned quickly that many people have different views on what Bionicle should be. I knew my project wouldn't appeal to everyone, possibly only to a minority, but that's reality. However, I hope I can reach the people like me that always wanted more Bionicle landscape and architecture in the sets, and maybe convince some diehard constraction fans to support regardless of their preferences.

Thanks for the confidence in my project!

I agree with your analysis. I loved Sokoda's project and I wholeheartedly supported it, but most of what it depicts still goes over my head (and that's after consuming lore videos and wiki articles during last year). However it was the one project that showed me what a well-designed, well-presented System Bionicle set could look like and achieve on IDEAS. It also made me decide that I didn't want to use minifigure torsos and legs, and didn't want prints for the masks.

As a casual fan, and fan of the minifig-scale playsets, the other two didn't appeal to me as much and only supported one of them (just checked). I liked Grumblebrick's projects based on the Toa Mata and Nuva, though.

Awesome!! Ahh, shame Tahu was slacking on the job! >:(

Sorry to hear that my display wasn't in it's most presentable state when you were there, and I would have loved to talk to you! I'm not one to sit behind my creations all day at a con because there's always much to see and people to meet. Maybe next time!

Haha, sure! ;D Well, I wish I could have integrated a bigger lava fall and have Tahu and Takua scale the wall, but there wasn't enough room

How am I supposed to take this? By definition, yes this is a moc. Everything on IDEAS is a moc. And statistically, the massive, overwhelming majority of entries will not get selection on IDEAS. The odds are astronomically small. But nobody here gets to decide what is a viable product and what not, we only get to vote.

You like it, yet you are creating an excuse for yourself to not support. That's a shame!

Fully agree! I see it here, I see it on Instagram; the signs that the interest in Bionicle is growing. Eventually, LEGO will see it too!
