Studs Not On Top

Let's hope it's better than Transformers, especially the third one. The effects were great, but what HF really needs now is a strong story to follow. Judging by the Breakout cliffhanger I think they're headed in the right direction.

Since there are so few villains to work with, I'm hoping for some 10-15 minute shorts kind of like the Ninjago minimovies. Of course, another 45 minute episode would be great! Something I've always wanted is for the Hero Factory series to expand to include other villains and settings that aren't part of set storyline. It wouldn't be that expensive to make new models, and I bet there are plenty of voice actors to choose from.

Just remembered about Bulk! I wish I'd seen more of him, especially in Savage Planet. But it was good to have Evo and Surge back on the team. And, do you mean a Breakout Part 2? Could happen, though I thought the story got wrapped up pretty well. I'm all for any more one-on-one fights though!

Nice mod,Shakar! After my brother got Rocka yesterday I've been wanting all my heroes that size. I really enjoyed Breakout, very interesting story (though trailers ruined the ending for me) and I'm glad there were a few surprises. Seeing Surge battle Splitface in space was cool. And looking forward to the next one (I guess this means we have another wave of figures next year?). Funny how Nex and Breez were the only two heroes missing!

Adding more silver wold make Bulk look heroic, but it's a nice color transition from head to toe. If I had the parts I'd make all of my heroes villain-sized. Core Hunter looks great! The only thing I'd add would be hero cores to that ammo belt. Great to see more pictures! I hope the finalized CGI comes out soon.

Nice! I've also thought about redesigning Series 1 with the 2.0 builds. Meltdown looks great here, everything flows nicely and I like the tube connections. The only thing is that the foot on his back actually resembles his head! I'd like to see Corroder!

Does the Polish version have English subtitles?

Some proper posing can make any set look good. I feel like XT4 is going to be the guy you put all your extra bones on-- and he still manages to look cool.

Sorry my pictures are so huge, I don't know how to compress them. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/SpiritOfTime/HF/hf_022.jpg

Great line-up! I like that you have room for every MOC in your story. I'm always impressed with black-and-somethingelse color combinations.

Great MOCs and poses everyone! I'll be sure to upload more pictures later on. Meanwhile, my first Hero Factory set: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/SpiritOfTime/Corroder/corroder_390.jpg

How will he hold the Hero Cuffs?? Great new picture of XT4, and the more I look at him the more I agree he sports a new torso. It will no doubt be great for small MOCs. I'm pretty sure Nex uses an old laser in yellow-lime. Just curious, what color are the System pieces used on Bulk's shoulder cannon? They look gold to me but I can't tell.

Core Hunter looks awesome, I would definitely pick him up if my brother hadn't called dibs first. Looks like System parts are still being used. Anyone else notice the harpoon gun on Nex's shoulder?

It's sad to see HRT go, as I never purchased from it, and it offered a lot of great parts. I'll see if I can muster some extra cash before April.

These are so cool! As a fan of the game, these bring back all sorts of nostalgia. I would definitely pick a few of them up. How large are they compared to a Toa? They look the right size, but I want to be sure.

You, too? Back I've been waiting for a 2.0 Breez with the 1.0 helmet, and I'm glad they finally made one!

Just bought Toxic Reapa and Surge yesterday. It appears that all the hype about TR is true-- he's awesome! His only fault is a lack of back armor, which I'll fix today. Surge, on the other hand, is alright. I really do like his design, but the color scheme takes away from everything good about him. With extra parts from Nex I'll remake him into a Self-MOC. Definitely try out the Breakout figures, even keep some together for display.

If Zib was an $8 USD figure I would definitely buy him.

Ever since the 2.0 heroes came out, I had the idea of Hero Factory action figures-- not constraction, but normal, molded body parts with ball-and-hinge joints. To me the heroes would look great with armor covering their entire bodies. I decided to draw Breez in this new concept: LINK C&C appreciated!

The new torso looks much better. I would definitely buy this as a set.

I noticed that the Breakout small figures are $9 USD on Shop@Home. Pretty soon they'll be priced the same as a Phantoka figure.

I got the same feeling. Running through the containment area as Rocka feels a lot like Black Mesa. This game would be fantastic with standard Valve keys.

Thanks for the pictures, Mesonak. It looks like they downsized Stormer for the movie, but he still looks great. Impatiently waiting for Toyfair!

Great job! Black and green is one of my favorite color schemes and it looks great here, especially with the repainted helmet and ankle guards. I like the design overall, but the body still seems hollow. Maybe a black Y-joint on the middle ball? Nice work though.

... I like the game.
