Look at the mask of life, mate. For someone with photshop, it would take less then 5 minutes to cut that out of the Barraki vid, turn it silver, and superimpose it on this. Oh, and the other parts arent new ;)

Um... ... Familiar? http://www.maj.com/gallery/Ebrithin/BIONIC...onicle_8692.png Now take a look at this: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/MuffinTo...cle/WIP/nox.jpg Then take a look at the lack of new parts. Then take a look at the post Jinzo referenced on the Polish forum by the guy who made these images saying that they're fake and that he made them. The end conclusion is... fake!

THEY'RE FAKE.

Bought 3 pounds of Lego off eBay for $40, and found almost 8 pounds for $3 at the fleece market next week.

They're all new shapes, eh? So, either we get redesigned Nuva masks (one can only hope), or they get new masks/get zapped or something, which, IMHO is far more likely. Oh well, heres to them not sucking! Cheers!

Aye, like I said, I'll tone it down. @Zaktan: Aye, I'll concur theres not much *different*, per se, but it DOES have more charm - not to mention more useful peices for MoCists - then the official one.

Would'nt say face to face? Clearly, you dont know me, mate :P But still, I'll do my best to tone it back. My apologies. P.S.: I'd add something about nonstop "cheek" and being a Toa of Air, but that'd be too much :P

If that was the real Vampyra set, I'd so buy it.

THOSE PICTURES ARE FAKE.

Oh, sorry, I was just using the Bonesii logic. "Well, most people agree with me, therefor, everyone agrees with me!". Anyhow, back on topic- I simply love your Mahri rebuilds. If these were the sets, I'd buy 'em all.

I do concur - the Arrancar arc isnt as good. But then, I doubt anything will be quite as good as the origional :)

Actually, the reason why the Bleach anime sucks is the fillers. If they had stuck completely to the manga, it would still be entirely up to par with the original arc.

Clonie, give up. Squids suck. Period. I mean, even Zamors beat them in, well, everything. And thats just sad. (And I can say this from personal experience as I now own squids, a squid launcher, as well as zamors and a zamor launcher!)

Hullo, After a recent Bionicle discussion, I thought I would bring the Bleach Anime/Manga/Movie series up for discussion. Of particular amusement is this clip: Do you think there'd be following enough for custom Bleach figures/a liscenced Lego bleach line? I, personally, think they would've been better off with a Bleach liscence then an Avatar liscence, but thats just IMO.

Hey, I was just reffering to Jinzos post. Dont blamem e! :-X

Hah! So, the reason we get preposterous MoCs is that they have preposterous parts... Makes sense.

Actually, Clonie, the squids just suck. Everyone'll agree on that point. - Helden

...because weve had silver on every single Toa in some way, shape or form since them.

I'd say a small dab of regular Loctite superglue on each side of the visor would do it. Oh, and carefully cut out the bottom with a pair of nippers. I could do that conversion pretty easily :)

Now now, Rayg, dont be hatin' - You're jus' jealous you dont have a bit o' what i'm smokin'! Now, on to more lucid subjects... I will concur on the Nuva mask re-design - I have always detested the way those masks look. Lewa with buck teeth? Gali with a pig snout? Pohatu with 50's tailfins? The list goes on. However, I was a fan of the overall design scheme otherwise. The best course of action, IMHO, would be to re-work them closer to their movie selves. That gets the old Nuva with better masks and superior articulation. Everyone wins. But if the current trend continues, the Nuva will likely end up armed with energy ball cannons - oop! Those are zamors. OK, they'll have gatling guns - Oop! Thats the Mahri. Ok, well, I guess they'll probably end up with tactical nuke launchers.

If all the actual retail sets were at this quality (your 2nd version redone Hewkii has my love) I'd so buy them. But, they might take some level of patience or skill to build, so we cant have that.

Personally, I doubt they're going to look any better then the Inika or Mahri, and certainly wont look anything like their old selves.

I'm just glad im not in his banner!

What he said, though I prefer the form seen in the Barraki vid.

Wait, what?
