There's something rather cursed about the fact that, at least at one point, LEGO was considering giving actual hair to a bonkle.

@kuddlykraken2157 3 месяца назад

If I would give them hair, I would make it like they were strands of exposed copper wire or something that would connect to the mask or something, the rest is tied back or dreaded

@JohnWilliams-wl9px 3 месяца назад

For all we know the hair itself wasn’t meant to be separate but just something to add texture. IE if the design got approved the final mask would have facial hair texture attached to it.

@ordelian7795 3 месяца назад

The squid launcher design got changed because the prototype was actually too effective at launching them. Too dangerous for kids and I reckon made it easier to lose the squids.

@imstupid880 2 месяца назад

NOOOO, imagine getting a toy that worked 😭

@ordelian7795 28 дней назад

@@imstupid880 You did get one that worked. The squid launcher that they made worked perfectly fine.

@badger273 3 месяца назад

6:09 so fun fact (that I believe once again is from Brian Ellis) one of the main reasons they didn't go with these canister designs was because the Bionicle logo was breaking apart, which while very thematic for the part of the story they're in, the higher ups didn't think that that was a good idea for the brand image, so they had to create something more clean and symmetrical Personally I love these boxes, and if nothing else wish we could've gotten like a special edition Toa or something that came in it

@AquaSheep93 3 месяца назад

The second nuparu gives me boxor vibes, which would be nice to nod to his past

@BenCossyOfficial 3 месяца назад

Oh great point, that's fun!

@Abdul-zz2vn 3 месяца назад

The rakshi bodies to form a circular exo suit is a really great concept that definitely should've been explored later on

@juhor.7594 3 месяца назад

You can notice how the last Nuparu concept has an asymmetrical shield. This is because the designer envisioned it as something between a sword and a shield. The finished piece was made symmetrical for whatever reason, which makes the original intention less clear.

@xaayer 3 месяца назад

I remember as a kid.being upset reading he had some sort of aquabuster sword or something but the set just had a shield. After the designer's video, I realize that we did get it

@thedogefox8939 3 месяца назад

The reason why was cost. It was more expensive to make 2 unique molds instead of one

@juhor.7594 3 месяца назад

It would make sense, but I think the original design used two of the same asymmetrical piece. As in the larger blade would be on a different side on the top and the bottom. To me it would make more sense to assume that they didn't want to make such a large asymmetrical piece, because a symmetrical one would be easier to use in different contexts.

@BoisegangGaming 3 месяца назад

I think the really neat thing here was Lego trying to get distinct shapes and silhouettes for each set, which after 2001 and 2002 didn’t really exist in previous waves at the toa price point.

@kwiekadrian4 3 месяца назад

8:03 It's easy to make, some plastic walls, make a second set of walls inside to live like 1 cm space between them. Isolate the corners, glue things up, pour the water in the short gap. Done.

@LucasStraub 2 месяца назад

I like the idea of making the "package" part of the set. The first Toas canisters had that part head in the lid and also some axel pins to the extra collared masks. Roboriders also did something similar, and more of a play feature, when combining the sets you had to use the canister lids as the combiner weels.

@purplehaze2358 3 месяца назад

Damn, prototype kongu looks very similar indeed to Lesovikk.

@cyanimation1605 3 месяца назад

"can you imagine if we had a Bionicle with facial hair?!" Turaga Vakama has left the chat

@chutas 3 месяца назад

That giant Nuparu ring torso it's something you'd see in a Hero factory villain

@roryrdmb6667 3 месяца назад

4:53 I think it might have just been the canister lid itself, which I think would have been really cool to have a lid that has extra functions like the robot ideas or toa mata canisters, so all the toa Mahri have little jet propulsion vehicles

@Kalhiki 3 месяца назад

Interesting to note: Carapar prototype at 9:39 has a different torso armor (same with Mantax's shoulders later on) that only has two pin holes on the horizontal axis. Also 11:59 Kalmah has Pakari bits for shoulder pads. Pretty cool. Gotta love these prototypes. Beardy at the end has a particularly interesting head design. Very octopus like. And I love scuba suit Nuparu. The bubble head is wonderful. I actually used a similar concept for my HF Vapor revamp.

@frank_calvert 3 месяца назад

i really wanna see someone make a moc with a center blaster

@purplehaze2358 3 месяца назад

I think the Vezon masks on the shoulders of that second Nuparu prototype ended up inspiring Maxilos's arm design.

@Bomonga 3 месяца назад

12:08 if you look at Kalmah’s shoulders, they are actually modified pakari masks

@shshyie 3 месяца назад

Woah, prototype pridak's (12:43) foot looks almost exactly like part of the Destiny weapon, the Touch of Malice, would've been such a cool piece to have but I'm glad we got the final design we did

3:16, I knew I wasn't crazy when I thought blue kordak ammo existed. I've seen picture before as an old promo image on the old website when I was a kid.

really intresting prototypes of my favorite year.

@tyrannicalsaur 3 месяца назад

Ehlek’s faceis kinda reminding me of Makuta bitil

@imstupid880 2 месяца назад

The Mahri/Barraki was one of Lego's best experiments with trying something new, and for all the mistakes they made I think the things that worked were so good they were definitely worth it, I've always been partial to the year because of that and I'm glad Lego did so.

@Senaratheumbrenine 3 месяца назад

you should see if there was any prototype stuff for roboriders, since roboriders was what lead into bionicle

@PenguinGunnerProductions 3 месяца назад

idk, from my limited experience in manufacturing, the masks are either 3D printed and sanded or the molds were prototyped, but not final, thus the sandblasted look. Certain companies can pump a plastic injection mold out fast if you need something in hand for product testing or to show off. After final approval, molds are made and sent out for mass production. Though that is a more modern way of doing it, it could have been different 15+ years ago.

@flatheadgg2443 3 месяца назад

I totally remember seeing one of those aquarium displays in our local mall, it was like the coolest shit ever they even had real fish in there with lights, moving scenery and everything. They did something like this for every new wave of bonkles, going there every month was like disney land for me. It's really sad how you'll never see stuff like this again today.

@purplehaze2358 3 месяца назад

Yo, they were considering making Takadox LeafyIsHere?

@dalekman9999 3 месяца назад

@dalekman9999 3 месяца назад

@nehehehgraylois 2 месяца назад

The thing Kongu's holding onto was a lid design you are correct, really wish they kept it. The canisters we ended up with are a complete nightmare imo

@Thinginator 3 месяца назад

I've been told that apparently those original squid launcher designs worked so phenomenally well that they were actually too good and safety concerns were brought up. The launcher was then redesigned to make the squids launch with less force, resulting in the lackluster design that made it to production.

@sebastiansmith4980 2 месяца назад

I don't know the source of this claim, but if true, I think we all want the forbidden lethal squid launchers now.

@juancho650 2 месяца назад

@user-py2xl3sb2f 3 месяца назад

@a_literal_brick 3 месяца назад

Those hyper-detailed boxes were 100% cut for being too expensive to make. They probably didn't want to put half of the set's budget into the packaging, even though it looked really really cool

@MCLegoboy 3 месяца назад

13:07 This guy has got like, a rancor head. He looks like one the Diseny Era Star Wars aliens. Why is his head so big? Why does he have those wings? Why is he all silver? Was this supposed to be early Hydraxon? Was it supposed to be Gadunka? What is even going on with him?!

@pablesm 24 дня назад

Imagine cracking open the box, and then the entire carpet gets wet from the water inside. (And the pieces will already be soggy, and bacteria and mold may develop when the set is on shelves)

@dansmith8872 3 месяца назад

I liked the one with hair.But I think that might be because I am really old and don't have much on top .

@roryrdmb6667 3 месяца назад

3:35 I think it was an error, since the axle that connects the Cordak blaster to matoro’s hand is also blue, instead of red

@UkumaOokami 3 месяца назад

The original squid launchers as seen in the photos were much stronger and worked very well. But Lego changed the design because it was "too powerful"

@empatheticrambo4890 2 месяца назад

It looks to me like the early story ideas might have been that the Barraki or someone actively put the Toa in test tubes and mutated them! A bit of an echo of the Hordika. I never really noticed that before, it’s blatantly obvious but every year of Toa they have a second year mutation

@BenCossyOfficial 3 месяца назад

I was under the impression all these pieces were built by multiple set designers, not just Brian, and I havent seen any was of tracing who built what, but if you're able to find the original artists, I'll happily credit them in future :) I'll add Brain's details to the description now so that he is credited in some way.
