  1. Welcome to Eurobricks, I look forward to seeing some of your custom clones. Ask if you have any questions, And have a good time.
  2. I just Opened breez,and she has the old Glatorian hand type. Not sure why they need two different molds.
  3. A Teaser for my next review thats coming up tomorrow
  4. That was my attitutde, but turns out I cam out with a Hero factory set as well as some Generations and Hunt for the Decepticons figures as well.
  5. Ah yes indeed, Surges hands have that extra little groove like the stars' hands do. And although there dont seem to be any socket changes to the glatorian head or hands visually, they certainly changed something about them, for they are very strong joints and hold up well.
  6. Blargh alright I’ll fix it
  7. I'll just link to the page they are on, http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/toyark/163090-bionicle-hero-factory-thread-275.html#post4982018 You should be able to view them there, post #6825
  8. Found these pics, thought I'd show em.
  9. I'll try my best, but I'm really going to need some good light to get a decent pic of the black.
  10. Oh those are some of my PS2 games,they are part of a 7 rack shelve, thats the bottom shelf. There are a couple GI Joe: Rise of Cobra 3 3/4 inch figures on that shelf in front of the cases.
  11. Here you guys go(apologies on the secondpic,I didnt feel like draggin my studio back out.The first pic I actually took when reviewing him) Here is the dual staff configuration. The way tht the piece is made, hit can be held sideways as shown. You could put it in any direction on the hand piece. And here is them connected to one hand;
  12. I will get pictures of them. :] Well its interesting actually. The silver part of the plastic of the weapons goes immediatly to the neon green, there is no color blending. Their is a bit of gray infused inside of the neon in it near the silver part though, to give it a more relistic look. The material of the silver part is the softness of a metru mask, and the neon green part is about the softness of say, the blue in Tarix's weapon. Its flexible to avoid breakage, but not as soft as the Hordika's. And yes the limbs do look quite nice. He is bright indeed, though with his electric weapons, you are drawn to them moreso. It's not a huge eyesore, but it is noticeable since his weapons are the neon green color. They are pearly silver, so they are essentially the quality of a silver Piraka torso. I have had no issues whatsoever with breakage or anything, so thats a huge plus.
  13. I am implying that statement to all Bionicle figures actually. Like the ankles on this guy look so much more natural than any ankle of any Bionicle set.
  14. Set name: Mark SURGE Set Number: 7169 Price: 7.99$, 9,99 Euro Pieces: 19 Year of release: 2010 The Canister Front Shows our Hero standing in a neat pose, as well as his name written in a scribbly style, similar to the one that the Piraka had. A Bionicle logo is present on there as well,to show that this uses the same system and such as Bionicle. Side Shows a silhouttte image of him, as well as his name. The other side doesnt have any of this on it. Back Shows him facing off against Corroder. Also, his head is shown to give a scale chart. Lid Very similar to the star's lids. Contents Parts Look at them all! Lets inspect them more closely. Old Parts Yes, only 2 old parts! Well 3 if you count the other hand. The black socket pieces are not shown here because they are modified to not break. A slight visual chance near the socket is all really, but they are super tight and hold up very well. Feet The new feet aren't bad, they have thrusters on the bottom. Only thing I find strange is the large ark in the center of them. Leg armor The Lego armor. Really nice and detailed,and they give the figure a look that is very different than Bionicle. Torso Bits A new torso and chest armor. The new torso is very MOCable, as it has plenty of connection points. Weapons and Core The weapons are nice looing electro pieces,that can be held seperatly or together in his hand to cover it completely. He can also use them like a staff,so they are quite versital. Also, his HERO Core is a trans yellow, which I find odd because his weapon and glatorian head are Neon Green. Mask I like the mask a lot more than I thought I would, its actually possible to pull it off as being sinister. Limbs The limbs are very nice in comparison to our normal 90 degree av-toran limbs. Much easier to pose them. They also have some more useful connection points along the sides. Buliding Start Oh sweet Mata Nui, he's naked AND headless! Adding armor Starting to bulk up. Finished Finished Set Poses Very flexible design and he can show some more natural looking posed than the Bionicle figures could. Close Up Although it is slightly asymetrical, it looks far better than, say, the Mahri masks. Bonus Images Who will win? This also shows as a quick size comparison between your standard Agori build figure. Pwned Overall, this figure is a great step forwards for a Bioncile replacement line. He is very nice visually, and his articulation and mass amount of new pieces make it worth any Bionicle fan to give these guys a try. Personally I would recommend picking up a Rookie team member as opposed to an Alpha team member for your first set,as these guys don't have the horrid weapon arms. Colors scheme- 9/10 (The trans yellow hero core looks very out of place on him.) Parts- 9/10 (I still knock one off for him having only 19 parts, but the amount of new ones really makes up for it) Design- 10/10 (Fantastic Looking) Articulation- 8/10 (A lack of knees and elbows is still a major issue, especially since we saw so many of the limbs bent in the images of these guys. Quality- 9/10 (The silver is still peraly, which I dislike.) Overall: 45/50 Excellent As always, questions,comments, and pic requests welcome!
  15. I will have a picture of Surge's backview when my review is up Will, you can go from there. And I just got Natalie Breez in the mail a few minutes ago!
  16. Heres a pic I toom of SURGE's Canister in case you want ot see it since it will be a while until my review is up;
  17. Upcoming review later today or tomorrow; Granted that pic looks a bit messy, it was my attempt to give it a softer look. Anyways, Yes indeed I will be reviewing none other than SURGE. BREEZ will be coming next week,and FURNO the week after that.
  18. Your photography never fails my man
  19. You can also scavenge some Technic parts like I did on a recent MOC; Just some simple bits from an Aqua raiders set can really boost a design. Don't forget that Meltdown could use some lime green as well, I suggest pulling out a spare Nocturn if you have one. ;]
  20. What? I do not see boxes?
  21. Nope, it's Keet-orange
  22. Not going to work, Mata Nui is keet-orange, this fellow isyellow.
  23. Well, Xplode and Thunder both have Glatorian heads, I'm fairly certain Corroder does as well. Meltdown does not
  24. Looks as if you already know some people here Flare, Welcome aboard the forums.
