I really like what you did with the Tahnok Va. Simple, yet complex at the same time :]

I'd probably grab Kopaka and the Skull Spider thing first. I never really started getting into Bionicle until 2007 (first set was Carapar, and picked him up at target :3.), but I do recall loving Mask of Light as a kid and using plastic red solo cups imitating the Kopaka vs Rahkshi scene XD. I had quite a lot of imagination back then.......

Turtles in Time is by far one of my most favorite video games of my childhood. These minifigs definitely bring out the vibrant colors you would see in the game. Thanks for the nostalgia overload man :] Really gotta find a copy of it for SNES now.......
-
That's some great work man. I really like how you took inspiration from the Mask of Light to make it more traditional looking :] How long did this take you to draw btw (if you remember of course :3)?
-
Wow, these definitely look more full & wholesome when posed right (on the packaging of course). Kind of changes my opinion on some of them. Laval on the packaging for instance looks WAY better than he does with that crappy pose & last year's version combined (IMO). In my honest opinion the Hero Factory sets of this year look a bit too blockish and bland. They look like something you'd see come from MegaBlocks. These Chima sets however show a lot more vivid colors along with beautiful translucent pieces. This is just the way I view it though :/
-
Wow, that is one set piece you've made friend :D Definitely makes me want to get back to playing Origins. Also is that Zod's helmet you're using for Firefly?

That's the idea I had in mind with the whole detective theme I brought up with in the first place. There would be sets with investigations (locations to find clues), car pursuits, and finally shootouts. It'd be a callback to both the times of Film Noir, and the bustling action involved with the 10c comics like Dick Tracy or the countless radio shows involving detectives such as Richard Diamond, Private Detective. Now THAT was a good program :)
-
The figure itself is pretty well balanced (basic at best), but the jet pack should be made a bit smaller with more organized/less colors to emphasize more of the front of him. Other than that I like it, mostly because it reminds me of the good ol' days of 08' when I myself started mocing. ;) So keep up the good work, and don't let people bring you down.
-
Sir Fangar & Cragger seem like the best out of the bunch to me. Mungus just looks like a mess of parts (still great for mocing), Vardy looks okay (dat weapon), Fluminox's weapon looks interesting, Panthar's weapon seems a tad too big for his sake (just like a lot of other sets), and Laval.......well he's just Laval....... Sir Fangar's overall design though just screams, ''BUY ME'' to me for some reason.......guess I'm just a sucker for capes XD Probably as a way to excite his viewers (they're obviously young) or something along that line, and I think the ''cruelness'' of the moveable jaw goes for the whole menacing look of the head piece in general including: the sharp teeth, red eyes, and snarled look. My OCD is skyrocketing at the site of how horrendous those figures are getting posed D: ESPECIALLY the Fangar figure at the beginning 0_o

Well dodos are extinct and also fit well with the ice age theme so you would expect them to be included, because apparently vultures are extinct in the Chima universe for some reason o_o Maybe they'll make a wave dedicated to animals of myth/fantasy. If so then sign me up for a chimera set :D
-
It's Seven like the number, but thanks for the welcome. Also sorry for the text, didn't quite know that rule.......my bad.......
-
I'm actually quite surprised that one of the revived antagonist tribes for the summer of 2014 are vultures instead of dodo birds. Seriously though, why is that? XD You would think they would save the vultures for a desert themed wave, but speaking of deserts an armadillo & coyote tribe would be nice. Also the gecko tribe mentioned earlier would go great with a desert wave as well as a jack rabbit tribe.
-
Well, I'm personally implying for it to become an original theme, because LEGO has never done anything like it before. The best way to get this theme to sell is for the sets to ''pop out'' at you. Such as giving the packaging a unique feel to it with the basic sense of it being an overall well-rounded set. Also really if anything it could be made with vintage looking boxing. Maybe even make special edition sets where all the pieces would be black and white.
-
I'm not quite sure if anyone else has already made an idea about a theme like this (the answer is probably so), but what if LEGO did a theme based around a noir typed atmosphere. Or at least that of a Dick Tracy comic series. Obviously the theme could be made into a kid friendly environment with basic, but plausible scenarios/plot points. Maybe LEGO can even release a classic 40's DC comic book line to go along with the story. One of the main reasons why themes like Bionicle lasted so long was because it set a theme that appealed to a wide audience of both kids & teens alike. It really brought something unique to the table with it being an original theme with colorful/eye grabbing packaging. The same can be done with an idea like this if done right. One set in particular that I can imagine of would be the protagonist chasing done a mobster suspect, and end up getting into a shootout with his gang. So enough of me blabbering on, I'd be more than happy to hear your opinions on this concept :)
