were the nuva designs really that bad?
>>11196628They're cool. When you know the story they were better, but as a kid that didn't, though I bought them, I liked them less than the originals. The masks were awkwardly big, and the weapons were a boring silver compared to the 'elementally' colored weapons of the original. Even as a kid I was bored of the sameness so I ended up not getting Takanuva. Oops.
>>11196628>>11196643Didn't duck bricks confirm bionicle is a trans allegory from Christian Faber himself?
>>11196647Unfortunately for you, no.
I had them before I had the mata. I like them more by default, though the mata are aesthetically superior. The silver on the nuva doesn't pop quite enough, mask scaling aside.
Anyway, here’s a WIP I’ve been working on. I think I’m gonna part spam those Visorak feet along the rest of his limbs.Bricklink’d a few more Visorak limbs as well as some of those trans-green/yellow Ninjago swords from the Prime Empire Era and waiting on those to come in to help finish it.>>11196628Only Nuva masks I think are downgrades compare to the original are the Pakari and Kakama. Kaukau and Hau are underrated IMO.
>>11196743Those parts going over the shoulders and general color scheme really remind me of the Jarkroid

>>11196628No, in fact they were better than every toa design that followed from an aesthetic and play standpoint until G2.
>>11196973Even the Toa Metru?
>>11196643this pretty much. the masks are a huge part when you were a kid buying them and these guys had weird awkwardly huge and overly organic masks (2006 toa had the same problem). Takanuva fixes this problem and he looks a lot better than the others
