Thank you. When I saw Furno XL in the store I wasn't feeling the new look for the Furno Character. I had been wanting to redesign my MOC Firelord for quite a while now, and thought the new parts, especially that cape, and sword would be perfect, and fitting for the Fire Lord character. A new bone structure, armor, and some fire pieces, and I'm happy with how this version turned out.

Yes, I tried that, but it is so large that it covered all the nice detail of the new torso, which I really like. I do agree something in the center would help, but I want something smaller, but I've not found a good fit yet. Thank you for the comments.

th a gunmetal one and mod Furno´s sword a little. Cirkit: He´s connected the `outside` part of the leg to a second torso beam. I tried a pair of gunmetal cores at first, but the silver helped to ditribute the colors more evenly The original weapon can be alternated in at any time. I like the original too, but I'm really digging the new sword. Yes, that's correct about the second torso beam, but not on the hip ball, but a swiveling ball joint mounted on the spine. The second torso also serves to make Fire Lord taller. The proprotions of the original looked so akward, I felt the bones had too be almost completely redone. I'm certain there will be more mods in the future, it's no fun to "finish" absolutely a Lego creation.

To me, this figure looks like an evil version of Furno.

OK, I finished Rebuilding Fire Lord, using many of Furno XL's, and other newer parts. Articulation, and range is much better than both the original Fire Lord, and Furno XL....Also he's on fire: Checkout my Version 1, and some of my other MOCs here: http://mocpages.com/home.php/81246

Fantastic review. Thank you for posting it. Core Hunter's few flaws will be easy enough to fix. I love that mask. Mine should be in my hands on Monday.

Something at least as complex as Witch Doctor would be a must for me. Though I would also hope that a new Von Nebula would have an unique build. I would like somthing around 300 pieces. I do really like your idea for a new blue villian. Seems like that should have already happened.

Yes, a new antihero core would awesome. Offcial antihero versions of the characters sounds like a great idea too.

Since it seems Von Nebula now has the information/ability to make his own heroes, as stated in the show, maybe the theme after breakout is Von Nebula's return, and his anti-heroes. That would be fun.

Huge improvment over the original XPlode's arms. Your Thunder is my favorite of the group.

Exactly. As long as you're having fun building it's all good.

Nice review. I'm very much looking forward to reading what you think of Core Hunter.

Wasn't the name Bionicle a fusion of the words bio, and chronicle. The bio part referring to a biological aspect of the characters, and universe they lived in. I though they were hybrid beings. EDIT: I just rechecked the information. Yes, Bionicles are part organic. Hero factory's character are all robot, but I could imagine some form of energy reformating their structure.

Seconded.

I wouldn't mind a change from blue to purple at all. A black, silver, and purple Von Nebula would be a very nice color set. I don't see a reissue happening either. I'm not worried about it.
