for example, normal enemies came in ordinary boxes. so when the Paraka came in canisters, everyone assumed they were heroes, because only heroes came in that shape. but SURPRISE, the Piraka were imposters pretending to be Toa! the packaging literally played into the story of the time. -
WhiteExodite (bleedingphoenix@wolfgirl.bar)'s status on Tuesday, 29-Aug-2023 12:42:51 JST WhiteExodite @WashedOutGundamPilot @Boomerman @Owl here they are. pretty ingenious way to incentivize collecting them all.
one on the left is Wairuha, who could create great storms (Wind + Ice + Water). the other's name escapes me, but he was a mighty warrior with incredible strength (Fire + Earth + Stone). -
WhiteExodite (bleedingphoenix@wolfgirl.bar)'s status on Tuesday, 29-Aug-2023 12:42:50 JST WhiteExodite @WashedOutGundamPilot @Boomerman @Owl yes, it's the Toa Kaita. they were shown in visions leading up to the Battle of Mangaia, where after descending into Kini-Nui they were confronted with two Mana crabs that were far too powerful for them on their own. one stood for wisdom, the other was the warrior. each was a combination of three Toa.
it helped build tension when entering Makuta's lair that the destructive aura within broke them back into their individual selves. -

Hint: i was born the same month the first issue of Bionicle released. years later i went on the lego website and watched a special commercial on the home brick PC. blew my mind. -

WhiteExodite (bleedingphoenix@wolfgirl.bar)'s status on Tuesday, 29-Aug-2023 12:04:55 JST WhiteExodite to those not in the know, this iteration of Makuta is very inspired. the creator was struggling with his health when he came up with Bionicle, thus why the Toa appear in canisters and the inhabitants can be infected by evil through masks. Makuta is basically the personification of cancer - formless, the very cells turned against the body, with only a vague idea or face to label him.
it's also a meta statement on Bionicle and Lego as a whole. creation and destruction are at the heart of the brand. Makuta is what happens to all lego sets left abandoned, returning to a mass of unassembled pieces void of the original shape.
again, Lego went hard. -
WhiteExodite (bleedingphoenix@wolfgirl.bar)'s status on Tuesday, 29-Aug-2023 12:04:54 JST WhiteExodite @Owl a well-deserved legacy, they let the creators run wild and they poured soul into it. -
WhiteExodite (bleedingphoenix@wolfgirl.bar)'s status on Tuesday, 29-Aug-2023 12:04:53 JST WhiteExodite @PickledFedora @Owl that was the variant cover for the re-release in 2003, i really like it. not that there's anything wrong with the original. -

WhiteExodite (bleedingphoenix@wolfgirl.bar)'s status on Monday, 28-Aug-2023 12:22:03 JST WhiteExodite @justnormalkorean >this is not necessarily the end of the world
were people always this okay with mediocrity? i'm not saying cry over it but you should certainly feel insulted. people lose their minds when something is decent and then things like this get "don't worry they'll fix it later". how do people live with standards this low? -
WhiteExodite (bleedingphoenix@wolfgirl.bar)'s status on Monday, 28-Aug-2023 00:05:58 JST WhiteExodite @TornadoOfTerror i like how we can take one look at something and go "yep, this one's for the normies". they all look the same, especially if they emphasize blood and hyper-violence. -
WhiteExodite (bleedingphoenix@wolfgirl.bar)'s status on Friday, 25-Aug-2023 09:03:57 JST WhiteExodite @ChristiJunior @SuperSnekFriend how is Sanae tracking? i didn't think she'd be on there at all, Reimu didn't even make it.
which, in hindsight, would make Sanae very proud. -

WhiteExodite (bleedingphoenix@wolfgirl.bar)'s status on Thursday, 24-Aug-2023 14:12:19 JST WhiteExodite @TornadoOfTerror at first glance they seem quite big, but i guess you need that to really lean into turns. formidable-looking bike as well, the chassis lends itself well for that.
i'm no expert, so i'm looking primarily at aesthetics here.
