That small inclusion of Technic connectors, balljoints, and sockets really gives the set a more Bionicle look, which makes sense cause all constraction sets stem from Technic build system modified for buildable characters (as oppose to vehicles).

I really wish technic’d branch out to more than normal or racing vehicles and the odd construction one. Massive mechs or something of the sort would be cool to see out of the somewhat restricted theme.

The head is a definite upgrade. I'm really surprised how they managed to completely misintepret the proportions.

@@magnuskallas They didn't misinterpret it. They kept the piece count as low as possible while also looking good so they could actually release it at all and for a price that more fans would be able to afford. Personally I think the added bits to the head make it looks a bit strange, like he's wearing a helmet over his mask. It is a cool idea though.

@@randomizedcharacter1442 the only thing I don't like are the printed tiles for masks, but it would be too expensive to design two new molds for one set that was being given as a gwp. Lego destroys old molds, and the old joints are almost completely retired anyways, so they can only approximate the design so much and stay in budget. Personally I'm just happy to see a real Bionicle again

@@randomizedcharacter1442 Thing is, it's not a reboot. It's the best the people who wanted to make it could convince Lego to put out. For the best price and piece count they could haggle. Not a reboot, there might not ever be any more. It's a commemorative set. And sure the originals are our favourites because we grew up with them, but let's not pretend they're perfect.

Is there any way you could make a parts list for this moc? I don't want to spend hours trying to search up all the piece numbers

Do you have a list of the parts you use to build Tahu.

You really have to make more bioncle Mocs in this style.

I miss the classic Lego themes from the early 2000’s. They were just so unique and had story. Now all we get is batcaves and police stations. Back then we got power miners, space police, agents, bionicles, etc. glad they are starting to bring back some of there better ideas in some sort of way.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i love bionicoles

I like the look of Lego’s recreation better, but yours is definitely more accurate, and it looks amazing!

Also, I love how you mostly used currently-available parts.

Very interesting take! I love alot of these building techniques that you used. I always thought in my head that the technic pieces could've worked better than the system built segments, but now I actually prefer the official system a bit more. Really nice work tho!

Leave it to Lego fans to take something already good and make it so much better. That’s friken awesome

you'd think lego would give more tribute to the franchise that arguably single handedly saved them from bankruptcy

Now this takes me back...gosh I miss Bionicles...bring them back Lego!

Yoooo that's awesome

Thank you so much I've been fan for a while to be honest your the reason I got into lego

As much as I love the big chunky MegaMan-ness of the official set and the passion of the designers behind it to make it a reality, I genuinely love your take a lot as well. It's such a nice blending of the best of both worlds and I love how you translated the textured style of early Bionicle into bricks. ALso Googly Eyes Tahu still reigns supreme no matter what. That's just scientific fact.

This man really is gifted!

with a small modification this tahu build can have knees and elbows. i would also use a 3 pin instead of a 2 pin for the thigh to balljoint connection(room for decoration and slightly longer legs)

It’s more accurate to classic Tahu, but it no longer has bendable knees and elbows as a result

It is much closer to what classic Bionicle look is. Really good job! Sometimes I wonder why Lego doesn't get opinions from creators like you before finalising their product. Especially in this case of Bionicle in 2023.

There is a lot of consideration that needed to be made, truth be told, the people who worked GWP set are fans too but have to fallow guidelines on what they are allowed to be used in a GWP Set, not to mention if it will bring the price point up or not.

This is exactly what I wanted from Lego. Now G3 (if it ever happens) has a proper foundation to build upon…

This DOES look better, and you added 2 points of articulation with the ankle joints. HOWEVER, you also lost 5 points of articulation (I count the shoulders on both sides being only half usable being 0.5 each), while although yes it's more accurate to the real original Toa Models, the knees and elbows are still very nice to have. It is unfortunate, however, that the reason Mixel joints HAVE to stay light gray and dark gray is because of plastic wear quality.

Very cool! Might have to add these mods for myself. Thanks for sharing.

YES! I think that this gift set should have been just that, but maybe a little redone, because the feet show uncovered sticks, the hands look small and thin, the left ankle is too big, and the fire sword is too small for him (but this is already a lego problem, because they still haven't made a part of the fire bigger than this). It's cool that you added sockets and more tech parts, and now it doesn't look like a pathetic mixel, but more like a new Bionicle)

This is what it should have looked like!! Brilliant!!

sacrifices quite a bit of poseability compared to the base set

DANG I love this

Would love to see a Tahu Nuva done in this style

Fantastic work as always, keep it up!

This looks absolutely amazing! Major kudos!

Well now you gotta make the other toa 😅

your a legendary builder

Pretty nice 🥰

dude! mad respects! need more videos like this!

hey, this looks great! and you finally put that printed piece to good use!

This is definitely an improvement, good job👌

Don't upgrade him, he's already the perfect boi.

Cool

You fixed it. Thank you!

I would love to see more of the bionical charcters keep up the good work

Lego: I took that personally…

This is the remaster i was waiting for

Damn, you outdid yourself with this one it literally looks so much better!

I know you probably don’t intend to make any of the other toa, but if you do consider it, make pohatu, my favorite

this is nice, but the original is better, all it needs is ankle joints and sturdier arms.

Wow this looks way better.

I appreciate the lower mobility for accuracy. Only missing a bit of gear function

great work

You definitely captured the bionicle style better than lego, but what about the elbow/knee articulation, and the translucent eyestalk element for the head?

This is perfect

Awesome upgrade!

Tahu is destined to never have knees

This really cool 😎😎😎

YES this is what we needed

You have no idea how many times I’ve watched this.

Please build a brick built lego Bionicle Takanuva please

This look so much better than what they offered, it like they figure young kids would get it and not nostalgic adults with good lego building knowledge under their belts.

This is so much more faithful! A much better recreation of the original shape produced from system bricks!

GREAT HACHIROKU24 UPGRADE 2023 LEGO BIONICLE

Very cool

Much better than beta

Honestly removing some of the mobility and adding detail makes it feel way more like an actual homage

I already bought one, I need two more. One is built as is, one is for custom, and one sealed in box.

This just perfectly proves that lego can rejuvenate bionicles in a true lego system

A great upgrade of an already great model, though wish it had a gear function like the og but hey still a great display model

It's amazing to see Bionicle make a comeback

Dude those feet are insane, I love it

i wish this guy had a parts list for this because i want to build it

I need this set

Are you going to show what pieces you used to make the upgraded Tahu if so that will be great.

they don't want it to look as good as yours, they might have to bring the line back

I feel like if you used pins in the shoulders and covered up the holes in the limbs it would be perfect. Alternatively, could you use orange ratcheted joints, retaining more of the complex look and giving more articulation?

10/10

This looks ok, but to me, this looks more like a compromise. LEGO did the best with what they had, while this to me looks more like it's taking more of an accuracy over function scenario. It is more accurate to Tahu, but in ways, you sacrificed things like the articulation in the limbs for knee and elbow movements. It's a cool design, but this feels like a case by case scenario.

Tbh I prefer the original set more, it has more articulation. Although your version has a more bionicle look

It got to like a midi scale

I dunno Yours looks good, but the original just has something about it that makes me want it

I've been thinking about doing a system-technic hybrid bionicle as a what if it came back and how it could be done so it's not just system like the gwp but also not all specialized parts like G1 ended up being, You've perfectly encaptured what I was thinking, better than what I would've come up with! I'm impressed as heck! Now to get the parts to build this myself 😂

ist a super moc i also want the return of bionicle

😊

Please! More zombie and apocalypse builds

Lego: We made a brick built tahu! Hachiroku: Hold my beer

Now this is faithfull to the original!!

I didn't have Bionicle growing up so I can't look at the 3rd figure and not think about the one in Pantsahat's videos.

Man that's nice! Really sad when I took out my Tahu, because all the thin parts started cracking. At least I can pose the GWP version :)

If it only wasn't a GWP 😥

Perfect! time to modify a 3d model of the hau to fit on this body and g3 is ready to go!

I so would want your version of tahu

I think you made everything better except for the arms, the right one is a bit too big in my opinion and the left one looks a bit small and uneven. I also think using the ball joint piece for the arms and legs minimizes the pose ability of the figure. Everything else is amazing and it really fills up the silhouette of the character.

Yes it's more accurate, but you got rid of quite a bit of articulation. And that means even though he looks better, you can't even pose him on a shelf or just mess around with him much.

Who are you and why aren't you in the Lego team?! This is amazing!

Classic hero factory building please

You should be a Lego designer at this point

Kids: it's just a dumb lego toy Men:

Wow, it can actally be called Bionicle now

It seems like Lego doesn't want to use the old ball & socket joints that broke easily

You are best 👍
