Deinonychus Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 I was doing some Google image searching tonight when I came across an image of a supposed Toa of Energy named Voriki. I'd never heard of this guy before so I assumed it was something that slipped under my notice when I was just superficially paying attention to the Bionicle story (around the Bohrak-Kal storyline). I searched around a little more and really couldn't find any concrete information on him or his deal...but from the little snips I managed to read, is seems like he was some sort of "red herring" or throwaway character that LEGO tossed up onto the website at one point. So, can anyone fill me in on what the real story behind this guy is? Quote
Zane Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Lol. Does it look real? No. That's a fake that some guy made up for his epic or something. Its an edit. TT Quote
Kahgarak Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Yes,what Toa Tilius said.It is a very nice edit,though! Quote
JINZONINGEN73 Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Fan-created image from around 2001 by a BZPower (well, they were still BZCommunity) member. He's probably the most popular "fake" Toa, due to the photoshopping job and the never-ending demand for some more purple parts / characters in the Bionicle line. EDIT: Toa Tilius is totally right as to the source pic! Thank Hades they never made a mask like that... but they REALLY need to get some purple parts goin' again. Quote
Zane Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 No. The whole image but the mask is re-coloured Tahu artwork from the 2001 instruction booklets. I don't know why you thought it was a Pohatu body when the body in the picture it the right way round.... TT Quote

Ah, now it all makes sense At the time I was getting pretty much all my "unofficial" Bionicle news from Kanohi Power and stopped checking there right before they merged with BZCommunity. But I agree, we're seriously lacking in purple parts. Perhaps with Onepu becoming a Toa and (according to the Piraka minifig-scale fortress image) us getting red, green, black, white, and yellow Toa, we'll get lucky Quote
Dragon King Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 His mask is a disorted purple Onua mask. Quote
Chuck Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 No offence, but its sort of obvious that it was photoshopped Quote
