Logan McOwen Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) One of Bionicle's biggest selling points over the years has been masks. From the collectible Kanohi of 2001 and beyond, to the Comic Con exclusives from this and last year, masks are one of the things that make Bionicle Bionicle. But some masks are more special than others - maybe for story reasons, for being part of a special set, or due to them being a limited release. This thread is your space for boasting about your hoard of precious, face-bound relics! Have at it! My list of special Kanohi/Masks is as follows, in order of release: 1x Golden Hau 1x Silver Hau 1x Infected Hau 1x Silver Miru 1x Trans-lime Miru 1x Copper Noble Huna 1x Krahkaan 1x Gold Avohkii 2x Glittery Avohkii 3x Silver Avohkii 1x Infected Hau Nuva 1x Orange Vahi 1x Keetorange Ignika Helmet 2x Golden Mask of Fire (One has been painted white for my self-MOC) 1x Golden Mask of Earth 1x Golden Mask of Stone 1x Golden Mask of Ice 1x Golden Mask of Jungle 2x Golden Mask of Water 1x Golden Skull Spider 1x Trans-Orange Mask of Fire 1x Blended Golden Mask of Earth 1x Blended Golden Mask of Stone 1x Blended Golden Mask of Jungle 2x Blended Golden Mask of Ice 1x Golden Protector Mask 1x Golden Mask of Creation 2x Trans-lime Skull Scorpio/Skull Basher mask (Currently waiting on the second one to be sent my way from the states - paid £29.48 for it incl. postage) Edited July 31, 2015 by LewiMOC Quote

Lyichir Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I don't normally list as many masks as this (I usually omit ones that come in regular sets), but since everyone else is doing it, I'm gonna go for it. Combined, my brother and I have: A bunch of gold and silver Toa masks (not sure if either collection is complete) A couple of silver Kanohi Nuva (DEFINITELY not a complete collection) Two infected Hau One chrome Hau A bunch of copper Huna Two prototype Bohrok faceplates (not masks, but still rare) One or two gold Avohkii One or two sparkly Avohkii Two silver Avohkii One prototype Reddish Gold Avohkii Two black Kraakhan (one old version from 2003 Makuta, one newer version from Icarax) One Sand Yellow Metallic (old gold) Kraakhan One prototype Dark Gray Metallic Kraakhan Two gold Vahi Two Ultimate Dume Kraakhan (great for MOCing) One gold Kualsi One silver Pehkui/Kiril One silver Ignika One gold Ignika One "Glatorian helmet" Ignika (not that special, but listing for the heck of it) One gold "Stars" Hau Two gold Masks of Fire Three transparent orange Masks of Fire Three transparent Masks of Fire (two in Lego Store Event packaging) Two gold Masks of Ice One blended Mask of Ice Three gold Masks of Water Two transparent blue Masks of Water One gold Mask of Air One blended Mask of Air One gold Mask of Earth One blended Mask of Earth Two gold Masks of Stone One blended Mask of Stone One Mask of Creation One gold Skull Spider mask One transparent neon green Bull Skull Mask (ordered, has not yet arrived) I think that's just about everything anyone might consider noteworthy. I've left out masks from sets my little brother technically owns (like the silver and gunmetal Vezon helmets), since he's not always as forthright about sharing his collection as the two of us are.

Leewan Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 One prototype Dark Gray Metallic Kraakhan I'm curious about this one, do you have any picture ? I'm not a huge Kanohi collector, my only really noteworthy / unusual masks are : -My four chrome gold (custom) Kanohi (I'm planning on getting more, especially this year's golden masks) : -A glitter Avohkii -A pearl gold Kraahkan Quote
Karateduo1 Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 1x Copper Huna 9x Trans green Miru 2x Kraakhan 5x Gold Avohkii 1x Glitter Avohkii 8x Silver Avohkii 2x Gold Vahi 2x Metru Hau 1x Gold Kualsi 1x Silver Pehkui 2x Vezon Ignika Masks 1x Silver Ignika 3x Gold Stars Hau 1x Golden Mask of Skull Spiders 2x Golden Mask of Earth 2x Trans Mask of Fire Quote
TheOneVeyronian Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I don't own much in terms of rare and special Kanohi, especially since I am more into collecting Kraata, the vast majority of Kanohi I have are from regular sets which I don't really consider rare or special so I'm not going to list them. My rare masks that fall into my criteria include: Trans-neon green Miru Infected Hau Red forehead Infected Hau Nuva Green stripe infected Hau Nuva Protodermic Kaukau Nuva Protodermic Miru Nuva If this one counts, I have a rather unique mismoulded Gresh mask If it makes up for my rather pitiful list, while not a Kanohi in any shape or form, I also own a Trans-Orange Kraata. I like to brag about that one Quote
Lyichir Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I'm curious about this one, do you have any picture ? I don't have a picture, unfortunately. Imagine the 2003 Makuta if his mask had matched his gunmetal armor. That's this mask. Quote
dviddy Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I'm not counting or including any mask that was available in a mass-market release, or in a randomly assorted collectors mask box. So while I have most of (or all of?) the golden kanohi from G1 and all the current golden masks from G2, they were available to most folks, and nothing about them screams special or rare to me. That said, I've got a pretty solid list of stuff that either myself or my girlfriend (Nukaya from BZPower) own that is rare and special! 1x Silver Great Huna 2x Copper Huna 2x Dark Blue Noble Matatu 2x Dark Blue Miru with white swirl 1x White Miru with dark blue swirl 1x Silver 2008 Avohkii 1x Silver 2008 Axalara T9 Miru Nuva with clear spiked visor 1x Silver Berix/Ackar helmet 1x Carapar coloured Strakk helmet 1x Gunmetal Kraakhan 1x Silver 2008 Kaukau Nuva (still ugly) 3x Pearl Gold Kraakhan 1x Reddish Gold Avohkii 4x TNG Miru 8x Orange Vahi 6x Old Gold Vahi 1x WMKK 2x Light blue Kaukau 2x Yellow Kaukau 1x Brown Noble Ruru 1x Blue Noble Ruru 2x Red Noble Ruru 1x White Noble Ruru 1x Green Noble Ruru 2x Blue Noble Matatu 2x Green Noble Matatu 1x Red Noble Matatu 3x Brown Noble Matatu 4x Chrome Hau 1x Each of the Poisoned Hau Nuvas 2x G2 SDCC TNG Skull Scorpio mask in blister pack 2x G2 NYCC General in blister pack Clear Mask of Fire 2x G2 NYCC VIP LEGO Store Event X/100 Clear Mask of Fire in blister pack 32x G2 Trans-Orange Mask of Fire 1x G2 Trans-Orange Mask of Fire with solid center 80x G2 Clear Mask of Fire loose I also own a prototype Lehvak (complete with prototype black Krana) and a prototype Tohunga Matoro. And various other random prototype non-masks, but those are whatever, really. Quote

I normally don't list mass-market masks among my rarities either, but I figured I'd list them since everyone else was doing it. Plus, I can count my actual rare masks on one hand—it's a fraction of the size of this list. Quote
VBBN Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Well after I downsized I really don't have a whole lot left other than my chrome 2001 Hau. I have a bunch of red test shot system pieces though, so, there's that. Quote
BBBeavarr Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) 32x G2 Trans-Orange Mask of Fire I am outrageously jealous. Edited July 18, 2015 by BBBeavarr Quote
dviddy Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 That's it, it's not going to get any better from here on out. Everyone else can go home. I mean, I'll trade you ten clear masks of fire for one trans blue mask of water! :P The funny part is that I've never really tried to get exclusives or rarities? If I find them for cheap online, yeah, I'll pick them up, but the prototypes are all just because of Brickfair, and a lot of that is either stuff I won or was gifted. I just sort of accumulated a lot of it. I never fancied myself a collector, I never sought out to own a lot of these things! I don't even have a complete G1 2001 mask collection. Quote
arc Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I've got the exclusive mask from the ultimate dume combo set, and the golden ignika from 2009 if that counts. That's about it for me. Quote
Master_Data Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I haven't pulled out my collection in a while, but I know I have: 1x Golden Avohkii 2x Silver Avohkii 1x Glitter Avohkii 1x Kraahkan 2x Gold Vahi 2x Orange Vahi 1x Silver Akaku 1x Gold Miru 1x Gold Pakari 1x Purple Kraata 2x Golden Kualsi 2x Metru Hau And a few others I haven't looked at in years (I'll try to find them). Quote
Im a brickmaster. Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Hmmm, without looking at my collection the only ones I have that I think are special are: One Mask of Time One silver Hau One gold Hau Don't think it counts but a purple Kraata One Mask of Shadows Quote
Onepu the Protector Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'special' since some of the masks on your list aren't that rare. Anyway, I've got Trans. Neon Green Miru, Copper Huna, Copper Komau, Silver Kakama and Black Matatu. Well, there are also the Golden Mask of Water and the Golden Jungle Mask from Gali and Lewa but I don't consider them rare or special. Quote
Refy L.S. Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Been collecting for maybe 4 years now, and currently have a full set of 48 Great Kanohi, 36 Noble masks + matoran/rahi masks, as well as a half-completed set of Nuva masks I'm currently working on. I think I have a flat gold kraahkan and a sparkly avohkii around somewhere too. But as for "special" masks, this would have to be my collection: I also have a custom Gold Mask of Stone, much like Leewan (although I don't know if they're from the same person): If it makes up for my rather pitiful list, while not a Kanohi in any shape or form, I also own a Trans-Orange Kraata. I like to brag about that one Nice, always thought that was one of the more interesting collectibles. How many limbs did you have to sacrifice for that? 3x Pearl Gold Kraakhan Very nice, ever considered parting with one? :u Quote
TheOneVeyronian Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Nice, always thought that was one of the more interesting collectibles. How many limbs did you have to sacrifice for that? I got it as part of a trade with somebody on BZPower recently, so it didn't cost me an arm and a leg really. All the exclusive Gen 2 masks that I still need to get, the Skull Scorpio mask, the trans-clear Hau, maybe even the trans-dark blue Gali mask - that's another story altogether. My limbs are not safe yet Quote
WARHEAD Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) 1x Green Noble Ruru 1x White Noble Ruru 1x Black Noble Matatu 1x Flat Silver Noble Matatu 1x Transparent neon orange Mask of Fire 2x Clear Mask of Fire That should be it, but I didn't really count all the stuff that was widely available through retail. I have no idea where the silver Matatu came from but it matches the color Lego themselves use perfectly. Edited July 28, 2015 by WARHEAD Quote
Leewan Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I also have a custom Gold Mask of Stone, much like Leewan (although I don't know if they're from the same person): Mine come from Chrome Block City. (: Quote
Logan McOwen Posted July 31, 2015 Author Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) I suppose I should edit my list, as I ordered a second Skull Scorpio mask. I mean, I got a raise, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edited July 31, 2015 by LewiMOC Quote
Dragonic Toa Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 1x Copper Huna 1x Silver Hau 1x Silver Kakama 1x Gold Kakama 1x Gold Pakari 1x Poisoned Hau Nuva 1x Silver Ignika 1x Clear Mask of Fire 1x Trans Neon Orange Mask of Fire Quote
