Just me or are the summer 2016 sets absolutely disgusting?
>>
>>5425907
Eh they look pretty bad at first, though I personally like Ekimu and Storm Beast quite a bit, how it generally works with these things is that they end up looking awful in prelims but once we get the actual sets in hand they are fine (Hell I ended up liking skull scorpio last year), so we will see. I would say that these prelims definitely dont look as bad as the skull villain prelims did.

Lava Beast is a cool dragon. He looks dumb because Lego decided to pose him to display functionality rather than to look cool. But he has neat looking sword-wings and I can forgive the lower legs. Probably my favourite along with Quake Beast.

Storm Beast will be the function over form set of the wave and might be cool because of it, but as of now he can go suck dick.

Gantigar is fucking amazing.
Oh man.
T-Rex Kulta with a thigh bone instead of a neck is the greatest idea I've ever heard, and those blue arms are the cherry on top.
>>
>>5425964
What's really gonna make or break these sets for me is how the head works, I can see a bunch of shit behind the head piece and really hope there isnt some weird function that locks the jaw in an open position, because I think the new upper jaw piece at least looks really cool and if the lower jaw can close over that and also look good I will be quite happy.

I really like the thin look of storm beast with the big claws, some people have complained that they are foot pieces but I feel like that doesnt really matter to me (hell maybe you could pose storm beast as a quadruped if you REALLY wanted to)

Quake beast looks fine, I just have never been a big fan of the bulky sets, I have to wonder if his right arm is some giant hulking purple crystal arm or if its just the angle of the picture.

Wait really it's using the feet? Oh god, that's terrible.

Another poor choice are the 2 joints to UtD's feet, having them move perpendicular to each othe means he literally won't be able to move his feet.

I do want to reuse pieces from the Beasts, the Creatures and other sets to make a small group of elemental monsters, but they won't work for Umarak.

In my canon, Umarak is The Shadowed One, and said monsters work for themselves, for they are [toyspoiler]the Element Lords.[toyspoiler]. Difference being that they're in the Mataverse because my canon skips Bara Magna altogether.

I had a clear view of all 6 of them, except the Lord of Air, and I realized that making him/her into a creature similar to Quetzalcoatl instead of some generic bird monster would be great.

I actually built UtD's lower legs and honestly they don't look too bad from a design standpoint, but are awful from a poseability standpoint, the feet can hardly move back or forward at all (the knee is actually as far forward as it possibly can be in this image, and the technic beams tend to pull apart constantly so I'm not sure how this made it past Lego quality control.

naw i'm still guessing they will never be connected, just like the two halves of the mask are in separate universes.
We'll see the new mask of time (the top half of the mask) but we probably won't see the full mask (both pieces connected)
but it would make sense to have the pieces connect considering they've decided that the new one is the top half, and the old one is the bottom

I've tried washes with various things... water, Pledge with Future, rubbing alcohol... I haven't tried an alcohol wash in resin, but water doesn't work (makes the resin bubble up like hell) and Future doesn't work (doesn't mix). So far the only thing available to me that actually does work is oil paint.

I have seen some experiments people have done with other things, and imitation stained glass paint looks like it's the best option. But I can't find any of that shit in retail stores around me, so I'll have to order it from Dick Blick or some place next time I can buy some stuff.

I'm pretty excited to see where they'll be going with this. Also, the second chapter book mentions reliefs older than even the mask makers that show the temple of time, the elemental creatures, and "unfamiliar writing". Leaving the implications of that last point aside, we already know that the creatures play an important role in the creation of Okoto, so it stands to reason that the temple and mask of time are somehow involved as well.

So, would Kylo Ren be worth it if I picked up a half price Darth Vader too?

If the world ended up operating on "dream logic," then the lack of names from the first couple of waves gets wrapped up in a nice little bow.
When you encounter people or creatures in your dreams, do you remember (or even find out) what their names were? No, but you sure as hell remember their attributes and describe them in those terms.

Green dude who defends a jungle-dwelling tribe? Protector of Jungle.
Giant skeletal smashy guy? Skull Basher.
Giant hunter guy with shadow powers? Shadow Hunter the Hunter.

And as dream it stays. They have trashed most of the old molds.

But I really hope that when the Mask of Time becomes essential for the plot they make the toa nostalgia powerhouses, basically updated and CCBS version of their 2001 ones with changes to correspond with their G2 forms more. (Onua having trans purple instead of green for example).

Thanks, hopefully UtD turns out surprising us for the better. I feel like his torso looks odd just because its leaned over so far making it look squat, and the lack of chest printing/stickers (which final will likely have) make it look rather bear.

The head might be good but the choices for the boxart there (bland eye glow with head tilted, mouth agape, and possible everything slightly enlarged) makes it look rather comical when it may look more threatening in person.

That just leaves the legs, which are hopefully some kind of error since clearly the design as they appear on the box does not work at all.

Lava, Storm, and Quake beast use the same upper jaw mold in different colors (gunmetal, Blue, and Purple respectively), Umarak has his own upper jaw piece which is just the mask of control turned into a beastly shape.

They all share a lower jaw.

I think Quake Beast might be using Hordika necks instead of Glatorian necks in his legs.

or there may be a one half version, and a full version, or just a full version, or a totally new design that uses elements of the vahi design

Lewa, Pohatu, Gali, and Kopaka are all covered in silver so it actually works, and it works on Onua because, like black, isn't really a color. Tahu's covered in gold though, so it sticks out like a sore thumb.

For similar reasons, I don't understand why everyone was bitching about the silver "clashing". If anything, the gold masks clash WAY more because only half the toa are actually gold themed.

The way the bohrok eye interacts with the upper leg shell should work the same as it did on Umarak and they interface completely fine for him, you may have some limitation in getting the leg COMPLETELY straight but the lower leg design clearly is going for a more bent, digitigrade stance, and given the general look of quake beast combined with that, there will never really be much of a reason you need him standing perfectly straight.

I aspire to be this gentleman, minus the playsets and the boxes. I really need to put up some shelves to store my Bonkles rather than keep them folded up in boxes.

What made it so good was underwater setting + non clones designs.
It was the first year where we got no clones sets.

How about this?

Why would you want a clusterfuck that big? No one is posed, nothing in the back row is really visible, one tiny shake and the entire rack comes down, plus dusting is a bitch.

The two pairs of Matoran were clones.

Wow. This is a lot better than the last version. I love the arm cannon.
>>
>>5426752
I know I could get similar results myself but how exactly did you build the arm cannon?
>>
>>5426851
I thought that only the shitty moulds like the ones containing out-of-date sockets were scrapped once the Glatorian armour was rereleased. Not entirely related, but I'm really glad that the new masks are made off hard plastic unlike the softer ones from 2003 onwards. They used to get damaged very easily, which was a pain as I buy a lot of second-hand Bonkles.

Results?

I use tires for arm cannons, or you can attach a phantoka blaster and build around it.

Here's your answer. It wasn't just Bionicle that was affected. Some of my Power Miners parts are cracked as well.

After I click the shell on, I bend the fist all the way back so it doesn't look so empty.
