  1. Nah. Too delicate.
  2. Well, the transparent lime could always be replaced with transparent orange.
  3. D-did I just get memed on?
  4. While Hero Factory was short lived and didn't always have the most... infallible design standards, there were quite a few sets that stood out in the roster as being exceptionally appealing. Sets like Witch Doctor and Evo XL receive universal praise, but there are other sets which still look the business. So, to you, which set/s is/are underrated, and deserve/s more love?
  5. Please tell me you're using that term jokingly.
  6. Yikes. That's overkill.
  7. While this concept is really cool, I really do not agree with you. I mean, there's a reason why LoSS was universally despised - do you really want that repeated five or six times? I doubt they'd do that anyway, as little Technic builds are more complex than smaller CCBS models would be, so to make the smallest sets the most complex would be sales-suicide. The smallest sets are generally the more accessible ones, and are therefore the ready choice for younger kids, so to make them the most complicated and therefore bump up the minimum age rating would be really stupid. So, no. I admire your wishful thinking, but kindly decline.
  8. Ah, you're right. Almost forgot. Likely not.
  9. I can already see the teeth of those small gears grinding up against that black knobbed gear at the back... Otherwise, that looks pretty damn good.
  10. He's... He's beautiful ;-;
  11. Still a lot more to Warrior than 3 spindly swords, a chain and a reused mask.
  12. Basher is bulky, yet still skeletal. He dual wields very large weapons, and has a unique function as of yet exclusive to him. Skull Warrior has two weapons, both with different functions. He's largely asymmetrical in his design, and has a gunmetal mask. Skull Grinder is big, and is pitted against Ekimu. He also comes packaged with the MoCr.
  13. As stupid as it might sound, it might be Slicer's mask that makes him unpopular. It not being a new mould probably puts some kids, or even parents, off.
  14. Yeah, that is practically identical to the design I came up with. It would've been nice to have been credited.
  15. Well they aren't really very versatile anyway, unless one is building Star Wars themed models. The printing and shaping wouldn't really work with neither Bionicle or Hero Factory.
  16. Titan Onua and Korgot Onua being one of the shortest of the Masters is quite the disappointment, especially seeing as he's portrayed as the tallest in the cartoons. So, I took the challenge of making Onua not only taller, but equivalently bulky, and along the way ended up making him Titan sized. I was really pleased with how he turned out, so I revamped Korgot so he has some company. Onua Pose Front Back With Scoops Unarmed Golden Mask Drained Golden Mask Bonnet - Shut Bonnet - Open Skeleton - Front Skeleton - Back Skeleton - Legs Skeleton - Gearbox Korgot Front Back Front - Unarmed Pose with Drill Pose with Dagger Skeleton - Cannon Skeleton - Gearbox Star Drill and Dagger The Duo Together Onua Powered Up
  17. Recently polished up a titan-scale build of Onua. Album here. I'll also do an exclusive post on him and Korgot soon. EDIT: Oh look, a thread.
  18. Yeah, Kopaka is a figure that a lot of people are having that issue with, I'm guessing it's due to his weapon being made almost entirely of heavier Technic pieces rather than the lighter, more flexible plastic used in Tahu's blades or Gali's fins - remember, while Gali's weapon is Technic-heavier than Kopaka's, she has two sets of gears rigged up to her shoulder. My suggestion would be either to rig up a second set of gears like on Gali, or just to add a third gear under his armpit. If gears aren't your thing at all, one could always replace the gears entirely and use that light grey crank handle piece in both shoulders instead of just the left-hand shoulder.
  19. All are nice modifications... Except what you did with Korgot's stud shooter. She just feels like an average Joanne Okotian now it's handheld.
  20. Well you really needn't worry about that then. As was said in another thread, CCBS has been made to be the staple of Constraction from here on in. And anyway, the KK figures weren't that great anyway, so I doubt Lego would want to reuse that design... Not often, no... But remember that the larger 3 torso frames were created way before either the XT4 torso or the 3M beam with the midball were, so such a design was likely not conceived or thought to be required yet. If the 2.0 Heroes were to have gearboxes, then maybe it would've been a different story.
  21. I just wonder what the in-box combat gimmick will be next year. Something like the Skull Spiders again, or just masks for the Toa to retrieve?
  22. I doubt they'd add permanent studs to CCBS bones, especially seeing as Technic pinholes can fill both that purpose with pinstuds, and also traditional Technic connections. Some integration of System parts, like with the SW Battle Figures, would be very interesting to see. Heck, addons or even shell with stud connections would be neat. System integration will probably never be done to a 50/50 ratio though... More like 85/15 at most. Well, that's a bit silly. You could always keep what little System would come with these sets separate, and such parts would only help in making MOCing more interesting. And anyway, if this is your stance, why haven't you given up on constraction already? Not only do some of the G1 sets such as the Tarakava and other Rahi have System parts integrated, the Protectors, Ekimu and Skull Warrior all wield launchers with System ammunition. It's not like the Toa would be coming with Lego City police cars or anything dude. You'll likely just be getting the odd slope piece, plate or stud here and there, which is hardly anything to get uppity about.
  23. RAISE UR SKULL MASKS ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ
  24. I suppose I should edit my list, as I ordered a second Skull Scorpio mask. I mean, I got a raise, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
