Bionicle MOC: Mairana, Warden of the Mountains 

I thought that mask was a custom job! The back of it reminds me of the back of the 2016 creature heads

It's very impressive Speaking of which today I worked on something A creature that is deformed but yet it's giant and Is a strong amount of power able to used But this is about you so really my stories don't matter here but yours does also will there be more villains monsters or creatures.

YOU HAVE RETURNED

Omg he's back!!!!!!

Good eye! Thanks for tuning in Zossimov!

Love this perspective. You've nailed my goals for MOC building. Poseability and playability that do not compromise aesthetic. While I do not always reach these goals I'm happy to hear Mairana was successful! You've been with me a long time Boise. Thank you for your support! It's hard to express how moving it is.

@@PlayStippling Hey, thanks for putting out videos. They're really interesting and I love seeing the comparisons between the old and the new and the elements of world building hidden in there. The more I learn about this world, the more interesting it is, even if just for the novelty of it all.

Thanks Mattimus! So glad you caught on on all the referenced back to the original and that you appreciated her next iteration. The VO actress was great, right?? So blown away by her acting chops.

Great perspective! Thanks!!! It's hard to iterate on the most iconic Toa but I think Mairana exists in a space that is all her own!

Thanks so much Inku! I wasn't sure that I could do it after all these years but I think time away gave me a new perspective that really is improving my craft. So grateful you're here and that you appreciate what I do. You mean so much to me.

@@PlayStippling anytime Stippling! ^-^

Thanks Fuzz!!! So happy you like her! Definitely more characters to come. Each Warden will be showcased with unique personality, goals, challenges, etc. How-To is something I'm contemplating just have to figure out the best means of delivery.

@@PlayStippling totally fair! i imagine it is a lot of work! if i may, here are a couple possible ways if you choose to pursue them: 1) the “traditional” way, a long form video that meticulously shows the building process, like tributron’s technical masterpieces 2) the short form video like Lees_L that is actually a deconstruction process reversed 3) making a stud.io file and letting us deconstruct it lmao also just posting the parts list may also suffice too as i’m sure most of us can figure out the build based off the frame footage. i understand how much time these kind of vids can make so no sweat if you want to do so anyway! when i found your channel in 2018 i binged every vid and i’m overjoyed knowing i didn’t have to wait too long for your return! again, i look forward to more vids like this that expand your new universe!

Thanks Mike! So glad you're enjoying this new world I've created. Hope you continue to enjoy it and participate in the many upcoming ways I will reveal on how you can make Ursi your own.

Thanks so much! The VO work was incredible. So much talent.

Oh wow thanks so much erron! She is quite the personality! She is genuinely a sweet person faced with significant struggles. So glad you liked her!

The reason why I like mairana because she reminds me of my time when I was in high school with my female classmate friends since they were very cheeky and so lovely to be around with sometimes and they made me laugh a lot that's why I like mairana she brings back so many good memories of old times and your very welcome 😄

So happy you liked it Charlie!

Glad you like it!

Love this! I can't wait to teach my unborn children the art of the Lego Bionicle.

She's great, huh? Fierce with a sense of humor. Love it.

Thanks supaflyty! So glad you liked it. The voice actress is incredible and I hope to work with her again.

So glad to hear! It's just a small taste of the inner construction but an easy way to give you a chance to see how it's built up.

Thank you very much!

Thanks for the feedback! Always room to improve.

I think this is the first comment I saw. You are quick!!! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! She is a very talented VO artist.

Wow thanks Maxie! So glad you liked her! She's earned her moment in the spotlight after five years of iterating haha.

Right?! I was blown away the moment I heard her incredible range. So grateful she signed on for this project.

Thanks for being so incredible to be one of the first to watch! Means so much!

So great to hear Mondo! While I haven't been building Lego much over the hiatus, I've definitely been exploring the video content creation scene and have learned a lot. So happy to put that to good use.

Thanks Blaze! It felt so good to do the old MOC Showcase again!

Aww thank you! My first build of Mairana was done back in 2016. Almost none of it remains in this final version and I slaved over it for far too long. The final product is something I'm super-proud of and sets the bar high for the other five Wardens.

Glad to hear that!

She is glorious, isn't she??

@@PlayStippling What I love about your creations, is that it all seems so organic, it just fits so well together! The mask fits perfectly and really brings the whole thing together, So glad to see your creativity back in this community

Lucas! Thank you! I'm so glad to be back and to share my work with you. Thank you for believing in me.

Ahahaha. Yes she is so good on pasta.

Thanks RWD! My wife demanded that her skirt be perfect before I released her.

Many, many more to come. Thanks for supporting me!

@@PlayStippling Actually, I should be thanking you Play, you’re the reason why I find mocs intriguing and inspire to make my own mocs one day.

Thanks for believing in me, Cole! I appreciate that!

Thanks Terronicle! Always a pleasure to hear from you!

@@PlayStippling Always a pleasure to see ya vids!😄✌️

Thanks David! Glad you liked it.

There's so much more!

Hey, thanks!

@@PlayStippling np!

Thanks so much! You're too kind!

I missed YOU!!!!!

Thanks!!!

Thanks!!! So glad you liked it!

I think maybe

Thanks!!!

Thanks mor! So glad you liked it!

Wow, thanks so much Casiano! Means so much to me that you've been with me from the beginning. It's been quite the journey, huh? Hope to dazzle you with new content for years to come.

@@PlayStippling indeed! Wish you lots of success from Baja California! Would be awesome if you made challenge videos again, specially adding a new one which requires to convert a simple Self-MOC from somebody that consist of the old Bionicle/Technic system into a CCBS/System model. And through a contest, the CCBS model with the most votes, gets to be for a few episodes a key character to help the Wardens continue their quest. Eden Sanders is a great comic artist, you could hire him to make some filler moments based on your new established story as well.

Wow what a great comment I appreciate that! We've aged like a fine wine!!!

Thanks! My wife demanded the very best accessories for Mairana.

You can do it! I believe in you! So happy to hear this inspired you!

Aww thank you. I'm so happy you're back with me!!!

Thanks!!!

Hahah thanks Ender!

@@PlayStippling You are welcome. Good to see that the BIONICLE community is still staying strong.

Thanks Tide! Five more amazing Wardens on the way and a host of incredible other characters to populate the World of Ursi. Thanks so much for supporting my dreams.

Happy to help

Hi Damien! The finale will be released I promise. I work on it everyday and it should be out soon.

Hi dragon! Not this time. Will be using my wife's lovely voice in other videos but this particular character is brought to life by a professional voice actor.

Aww thanks!!!

Appreciate that immensely! Stuff like this takes a long time so it means a lot to hear it is so well received.

Completely understandable! It's hard to make new characters in such an established lore using masks that are so iconic. I linked the mask in the pinned comment should you choose to get it printed. It's a nice mask!

Thanks Kumo!

For sure. Not all, but some.

Hey Xendor! Thanks so much for checking out my videos. I'm so happy to hear you liked this one. Absolutely will be using the World of Ursi to tell stories spanning across multiple locations and plot threads. This will be done through MOC videos like this one, short-length stop motion animations, community contests, fireside storytelling, and so much more. I can't wait for you to see (and participate in) all the great ideas I have rattling in my brain.

You're never too late, Marco!
