JINZONINGEN73 Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Whoa. I really ought to read DV's blog more often. Man, me too. You see the same sets over n over... you think you've seen all there is to see... but then someone puts them into some stately pose that makes you appreciate / want them more. Anyone have an image of The 2001 or the Bohrok Kal canisters with the CD-rom logo on them? Also, the Rakshi promo purple slug canister... I'm trying to see if the logo on these new ones in any way resemble the old.
~Wrack'n'Ruin~ Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Me too. : (: ) Ok... no more eternal damnations from here on, ok? Actually, Gunnar posted it yesterday lol. Link's there still, I merely made one click twice to see it instead of once. BAM! Take THAT, censor-girl! VENGEANCE.
The Dor Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Okay, those new pics of Gresh make him so much more want now. He's almost up to Strakk's level now. Skrall Vorox Malum Strakk Gresh Tarix I hat having Tarix at the bottom of the list. He's so cool he deserves better. but not enough better. ;_;
dviddy Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 I hat having Tarix at the bottom of the list. He's so cool he deserves better. but not enough better. ;_; He doesn't deserve better. He's terrible. The worst of the 2009 sets, and valuable only for his pearl gold Inika shoulderpads. I have him. I hate him. (I bought him for the gold!) And hurray, appreciation for my Gresh pictures!
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 I love Tarix. =O He is by far better than Malum and Skrall, what with those fantastic colors and the watery / fishbone style. -Ikk

I hate him. (I bought him for the gold!) And hurray, appreciation for my Gresh pictures! Oh. Bummer. Wait. He can't be worse than any other Inika wannabe, so don't think I'll be able to consider him terrible, or hate him. So yeah. Thanks for letting me know he isn't as cool as he seems at least. :) @Ikki: I don't have Tarix, but Skrall and Malum are definitely cool sets. What is it that makes him more awesome?
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Colors are a big part of why I prefer Tarix over Skrall and Malum... plus the weapons, which is second only to Skrall's buzzshield. He may be an Inika-clone, but he's perfection at that. =D -Ikk
Antrozek Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Kiina is a he I say! Kiina is a She and Gelu is a He
JINZONINGEN73 Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Kiina is a Sheand Gelu is a He Nothing a talented photoshopper or Deviant artist can't fix. >__> <__< Wha? Agree on Tarix. Not a TERRIBLE figure, but the worth is more in the parts.

Not a TERRIBLE figure, but the worth is more in the parts. Soo wrong. I might pick up Tarix after Xmas, despite peoples hatred towards the poor kid. His mask intrigues me.

hewkii9 Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Nothing a talented photoshopper or Deviant artist can't fix. LOL. I think Death Panda has a new project. It doesn't matter what gender everyone is, as long as Skrall is a she! Greg keeps on wibbly-wobbling on things due to 'the movie', let's petition the movie to make Skrall sound like a she too! Scarlett Johansson could use some voice acting experience, couldn't she?
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 I propose Maggie Wheeler for Skrall. -Ikk
InnerRayg Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 LOL. I think Death Panda has a new project.It doesn't matter what gender everyone is, as long as Skrall is a she!

There are multipled Skrall's, you have to be more specific.
The Alchemyst Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Am I the only one that thought Mata Nui had baggy pants when you first saw him? o.O I see Bionicle is trying to appeal to the "cool kid" crowd . I'm holding off on most thoughts for them, but Gelu is looking the best. That's not saying much with these picture though, :P [-The Alchemyst-]

[-The Alchemyst-] That's my favorite part on him, honestly. I was thinking that he had a "knee spike", but as Shine over on ItB pointed out: SHINEhttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Kraken23...atoro_inika.jpg Same "knee spike" as in that picture. JINZOI think you're right, it's that (cool) guard... but at the same time, there's DEFINITELY somethin' funky going on around the ankle, making it look less shitty. Compare Matoro with Mats' ankle: http://www.flickr.com/photos/29805279@N06/3129680284/
Bundalings Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) The guys on the top row appear to have regular Thornax balls.... but am I wrong in thinking the ones on the bottom 3 aren't gold and black? Mata Nui's looks kind of silver... other than that they all look gold, to me. Mat's probably is too. Hey, look at Giina(blue one)'s mask. See the Iron man skull? It's the color that Gali Mata/Nui had! Yes! It'd be nice to have yellow, but it's probably same-old same-old trans green. But maybe with the return of blue... Personally, I don't think the Mistika were any worse than the Phantoka. The Mistika Makuta were better IMO, and the only reason that people didn't like the Mistika Toa that much was because they didn't resemble the Nuva at all. I like the Phankuta much more, actually. They'd be about perfect if you switched boring Antroz with sweet Krika. kk, some thoughts on the sets. Stronius: Hm. Short backwards Inika body is gross, and if his leg armor is the same as Hewkii Mahri's I'll be ticked. I can't tell anything else about him apart from the club, which is awesome. Ackar: Name reminds me of Ackbar. Fitting that he's red. I actually really like this one... possibly my favorite. His arms look just like my Gali Mistika revamp's, so that's cool. Sword looks nice, new Mahritoran blade color is good, chest recolor, and nifty leg add-ons (they're either add-ons or Inika legs with the bottoms remolded, I can't tell) are all very nice. Vastus: Looks like the worst of the bunch in this pic... but I'll reserve judgment until I see better pics. The only thing that looks cool about him currently is the double handed blade-staff. Kiina: Pretty cool overall. Her helmet reminds me of Malum's. New leg and arm armor is cool (it is new, look closer), and her spear is all nifty and swirly. Can't tell much about the body. Looks like it might just be an Inika torso with some kind of armor on it. Gelu: Cluttered in the pic. Chest armor recolor is good and mask is good, other than that I can't tell much. Mata Nui: Broooooooown! Score for Lego. Smart move making Mats brown, since old fans will be mostly interested in him and old fans like brown. Legs and arms look cool, can't tell a thing from the mask other than it looks gold (Ignika!), and his body leaves something to be desired. It worked well enough on Onua, I just don't know about Mats. I'll wait till better pics come, though. I'm fine with the Thornax again. Small and unobtrusive. ~Bunda Edited December 23, 2008 by Bundalings
hewkii9 Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 There are multipled Skrall's, you have to be more specific. Well now you've gone and got me fantasizing about multiple Scarlett Johanssons. Thanks a lot. And if Mata Nui actually is brown then I'm definitely going to have to buy him.
Brickthing Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 By the looks of things, Gelu has White and Blue Krika blades and a white thin inika torso.
InnerRayg Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Mata Nui got new Torso Looks like the same old Inika torso with some armor on it. However, those legs look really awesome.
Phantoka_Chirox Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 The only hthing thatBothers me is Mata Nui's hands he's an EOPan Godammit! but other than that mata nui is EPIC WIN BABIBEH! Stornius: Awesome! He looks like a beefed up skrall though :(. Love his Club!! Ackar: he's just plain awesome Dudes! Love his Flame sword! Vastus: One of the best IMO. I love his mask!! His Giant spear... AWESHUM!! Kiina: FEMININE! YAYERZ! COOL SWIRLY WEAPON! Gelu : his icyness is COOL! I love his bladez! 2 snowflakes OMG :D! Mata Nui: HANDS?! But awesome set! BROWN YAY! AWESOME WEAPZ
Wrinkledlion X Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 I think Mata Nui may have a new torso. He seems to have ball-joints on the sides of his body which aren't present on a standard Inika construction.

The upper torso is definately Inika w/armor of some kind, but it might be some form of new lower torso.
