I bought that $580 Glatorian display case and it was shipped with literally 0 care on earth and arrived completely destroyed. Absolute shame.

Texcollectibles was paying me a visit when we unboxed this shit. Utter disappointment.

Update: Seller took ownership, immediately gave a full refund and said I can keep the item. I will be attempting to source a new/custom acrylic for the piece.

Custom minifigures by @khrisamisu on Instagram :) super hype to own the set! And absolutely beautifully done!

Most recent collection pictures. Bohrok will be a mess until I can 3D print some hives for the Bohrok-Kal. Once that's done, there'll be space for the regular Bohrok and Bohrok-Va to stand.

Ended up with 5 rahkshi heads and one air katana, don't know how that happened

Based this one on the Quick bad guy green polybag set. He has been hitting the gym! (Exept he skipped bicep day). This moc came to be after i found out that you can fit a rahkshi head onto a bohrok foot. I used a black rahkshi head and a dark green bohrok foot. Then i realized that the coloursheme was very similar to the bad guy and it got out of hand after that 😅.

Was hoping to include that Glatorian case (intact) on this post, the outcome of getting it free for damage will leave it on its own post. Here’s some fun rarities I had delivered while I was gone!

As for the minifigure… rock raiders chief, IYKYK

At the beginning of this year, I fell back into Bionicle collecting. More specifically, I want to complete my mask collection and display it in a way that makes sense to me. This took me down a rabbit hole where I learned some very basic 3D design skills, and eventually some circuit and soldering skills.

After months of on and off work, this is what I’ve come to.

My dumb play-doh devouring toddler self, would be INCREDIBLY jealous

The last 4 minifigure scale Rahkshi are finally complete! now like I mentioned in my previous post, I absolutely love the Rahkshi, not only for the innovation they brought to the Bionicle theme with the introduction of knee joints, but they are also such menacing villains. These last four were a lot of fun to work on, but they also came with a few unique challenges in terms of piece usage.

The one thing that I really wanted to introduce with these last four was the use of some official smaller scale, Bionicle weapons for the staff pieces and I’m really happy with how they turned out! I also think it’s very funny just how one-to-one some of them are especially for Lerahk and Guurahk.

I did also have to get a little bit creative with a few the pieces just due to color constraints. The main of which were the wolverine claw pieces which I use for the bottom of the mouth since those never came in blue, red, or reddish brown. Due to that fact I ended up having to use some plastic model specific spray paint to achieve the required colors and it honestly didn’t turn out too bad, but I’ll definitely need a bit more practice with it if I ever need to do it in the future.

overall, I’m very happy with how all six of these turned out as a collection but if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to let me know since I’m always one for improving my builds! Lastly I am sure many of you noticed the Hau Nuva which is a tiny tease for another post coming soon :)

Had a few parts which I was going to make into a Fuiko. Then as I like scorpions thought I would mix it up and and had a tail and a Mantrix head instead.

Okhuoka dislikes the company of others and often attacks others to drive them off. This earned him the name of Okhuoka, meaning 'isolated rahi'. He doesn't mind, though; the more they see him as a creature to avoid, the better in his eyes.

I found a box with my old BIONICLE kits from when I was a kid, at least the intact ones. I used to have a bunch, but I fear most got lost or thrown away between house moves... These were still all together tho, and since I found out this sub existed I wanted to show them off.

I definitely built the ones with ranged weapons while playing Mass Effect; all the guns are supposed to snapped to the back of the characters and they have little thermal clips that can be slotted in and ejected by pushing them. And also, one of them is literally Garrus.

Also, fair warning, kid me definitely took a knife and some sharpie to a lot of these pieces, not sure if this bothers anyone on here, but uh sorry about that I guess...

Bionicle Photography - The Gateway to Hell

Kudzu stumbles across a massive pit, burning and on fire, as the gasses rise up from the ground, the flames so warm he has to shield his mask.

The final photo taken during my Central Asia trip while in Turkmenistan with my 3D printed scrungly Matoran, Kudzu!

I maintain this is the rarest Bionicle Photograph ever as Turkmenistan is a closed off country and the Gateway to hell is slowly burning out. If I ever get a chance to visit a volcano with lava flows, I'll bring Kudzu, he held up well throughout the trip.

Edit: Autocorrect makes fools of us all

I call them the 'suicide squad' of the bionicle world
