I think they will just give Ekimu unity piece on the back. But I'd predict that because of Umarak TD's supposedly huge size he won't unite with the creatures but with one of the beasts instead.
-
I don't get why you keep bringing this up. He has the first set number of the second wave. It has always meant it's the place for the cheapest set. Yes, of course there is a possibility he could be breaking that norm but the change is so small I wouldn't bother with it at all.
-
Loved this guy from the start. It's just the design of the bow that bugs me. Would had been more unique with the spring launcher.
-
Trust me, it will be a nightmare to make it work because of his shoulders.
-
Well if they are directly after the TFA sets it seems likely they are from Star Wars. But I wouldn't get my hopes on stuff from other episodes at this point since TFA will be quite pusher even still. The idea that these sets are from rebels instead of the past two trilogies makes more sense to me. For the possible lineup I would take Han-Solo, Chewbacca, maybe Luke and R2D2 & C3-PO combo pack.
-
4 seem kinda odd, it's most likely more SW FA sets since I'd expect 6 for a full other Star Wars line.The second option is BvS, three main guys and Lex Luthor as a big bad doesn't sound that far off either. And for people saying "we already got Batman", yeah but it was only Batman.
-
Knew it from the start But what I only recently thought and sadly seems to have occured is that the hip is useless with everything expect the upper torso due it's special connection. Mainly to replace the black bohrok eye.
-
I actually... quite still dislike Onua. The arm connection is just too gappy. Would these worked better? http://img.bricklink.com/PL/11946.jpg
-
While it fits him, personally speaking that is a piece that got stale really, really fast and despite that is used on four(?) sets.
-
So far, best and most faithful to original design. It really strucks me as positive that this envokes the style of the concept art and mixes the elements in similar way of the next years sets. But like people have said, it needs some accent color. The lack of new kind of "straight" Y-joint is much needed and this is an another proof of it.
-
You are all forgetting the fact that all the other creatures come with traps too. Which the Unity set doesn't have a single one. Melum as a set alone, with even less parts than Terak would not be 10 bucks due to the lack of the trap alone. Edit: I didn't notice first where the list originated from but now that I know the price is a shame.
-
Shouldn't the first post be updated I doubt it has ratchets, from personal experience it would make the action "jumpy" And would restrict the usability of the piece on future sets and MOCs. Also, Gali has the Unity piece upside-down as opposed to all the others (Though Kopaka's back is not visible)
-
It's either this or molded in. The latter would be really unfortunate.
-
Looking at their backshots, the pin connecting to the upper torso doesn't seem like a regular sized pin. Makes me worry the connection could be like the studshooter.
-
That someone might be me. Yes, they are the same size and judging from their backshot their torsos are of the same height. Umarak has his torso armor on an external balljoint like Kulta but Tahu and the others have it attached directly to the new torso bone. Besides that and antlers the overall build and height is pretty much the same.
-
This is based on absolutely nothing but Mask of hunting would be my guess. It could allow him to sense targets from long distance and give more precision to his shooting.
-
Not a placeholder. It was direct trolling from the designers.
-
To be fair, Ekimu's protector mask has some green hue too. It's not because there's green in there but simply because there are two colors that are clashing. And we finally have crisp-clear pics without any marks restricting me form posting them, all expect Umarak and Unity set. http://lavoixdekimu.tumblr.com/post/133803679955/les-images-de-la-premi%C3%A8re-vague-de-sets-bionicle
-
Been thinking the latter since club magazine. The hip piece gives the same shape with the toa.
-
I don't believe it's possible to make a functioning one, unless it could only move back and forth. It would still be really tricky to balance it.
-
I'd take the friction joint on their ankles as part of their leg. It seems they wanted to make sure the toa stand still when you move their waist. But I have to agree, while perhaps on some level necessary, most of them look horrible, and that is partly again because the foot piece isn't versatile enough.
-
Agreed, while it leaves something to hope for it gives it a pretty good foundation so it can truly shine with the future sets.On the female topic... again. I say that the set should look feminine/masculine enough that the consumer understands it. Gali's set description is embarrassing, the fact that they have to state that she's female and even highlight it clearly send a message that consumers have had problem figuring out her gender. Yes, it is partly for the consumer to decide the characters gender but they sell her feminity as an actual feature.
-
And also the idea that scorpios were part of an actual species rather than a mess of bones that was given life. Which seems like missed potential and could had rendered their design somewhat acceptable.
-
...Isn't it exactly that? Just no green. So far all the villains including Umarak have had red/orange eyes. Though for a surprise, not every trap seems to have red eyes but also blue.
-
An Italian website named "Terminal Video". If that doesn't help try to search certain forums, YouTube videos or blogs. So Most likely, Kopaka and Melum Unity is 25$? Just think that Obi-Wan and Kylo at least cost the same. This really shows how much the license takes.
