Cool Video- ???

THIS VID IS MINE!

NO Rubberfruit! It’s MY video! (If you don’t get it, http://tf2freakshow.wikia.com/wiki/RubberFruit)

But I DID make a LEGO stop motion video earlier today, and I’d like to share it with all of you!

Since I made it, it wouldn’t really be fair to make a review of it. But YOU can post your opinions about it! Post either here or on youtube. I don’t care. Just remember, It’s my first LEGO stop motion, and I’m not too good, so no really hard critics. It was fun to make, so I might make more.

Well, that’s it for this post. Make sure to stay tuned for more LEGO stuff.

Day 7: It Ends In Fire

…

Welcome, one and all, to the final day of CUSTOM WEEK! I’ll be showing one of my OWN CREATIONS a’ukoGSFH(SF&PG&WIOY*OSDU*TS:AFI:GUI:ASG&IAU

Sorry. I’m seeing my doctor in a week.

Anyway, it’s a bionicle. (Surprise) He’s my first ever attempt at a MOC titan. Without further ado, here is…

VAKAMA XL

Here he is. My first MOC titan. Inspiration struck when I replaced Onewa’s limbs with Axonn’s. (Note: This WOULD be Onewa, but I have many red parts and not many brown ones.) So anyway, I got the parts, experimented, and voila! Here are some other reasons I like my first titan MOC.

Vakama showing off.

I made sure that it all worked fine (believe it or not, the arms and weapon took about 1 hour to get right. —->

The Arm Mechanic

And I made sure to make the feet unique.

One foot’s black due to not having enough pieces

I completely abandoned the disc shooter and replaced it with a scythe. (It looks much better)

The Weapon

Height Comparison

<—He’s definitely taller than normal toa metru.

And finally, he has spheres in his arms that allow you to pose them! Gnarly!

(Yes, I just used the word gnarly in a sentence. Sorry if I’m 2cool4u.)

For a first try, I think he’s pretty good. But he does have his flaws. For example, his right arm is alway’s falling off, and the blade of his weapon doesn’t stay in place. But other than that, I really like this guy!

…3297…3298…

*Gasp*…. 1 …. *Wheeze*

Well, I hope you enjoyed Custom Week! I know I did. Well, See you next time!!!

Day 5 and 6: The Clock and The Hawk

Sorry for not posting yesterday. I literally had no time. But now, I’m posting something that TELLS TIME! YAY! (This was supposed to be Day 5.)

This amazing clock tells time through Bionicle Zamor Spheres. As you can see, it drops a sphere onto the first rack every minute. This rack represents the single digit minute. After 10 are on the rack, all of them fall of except for 1, whick goes down to the 2 digit minute rack. When that fills up, 1 sphere drops to the hour rack. It’s pretty amazing.It even shows what happenes at midnight! Watch for more details.

Now, for day 6…. uh…. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm… ah! Here we go!

LEGO Steven Hawking!

Yep, some guy actually did this. They made a full kit to make this guy, pieces, instructions, everything, then sold 100 copies on Amazon. I think they’re sold out now, so that,s a shame.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this 21 in 1 post. Make sure to check back tomorrow for the final day. (I’ve got something planned…)

Day 4: Drawnewa: Toa of Graphite

Hello, everyone. Today is special. One, I’m not rushed and two, THIS IS MY FIRST CUSTOM THING TO PUT IN THIS SERIES! OMAOMDAOMODAMOMDAMOSJODAG*FH*GGG*

Sorry about that.

Anyway, I basically put Toa Onewa in a pose, and drew him in the most detail I could. I barley used a ruler, and it’s not exactly Picasso, but… here we go!

VOILA! TOA ONEWA!

Sorry about the thing cut off at the end. My printer is stupid. Many people might think this is bad, but I put a lot of effort into this. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever drawn. Although it’s not the best, it’s pretty dang cool.

This brings me to the PLOT TWIST: THIS IS ACTUALLY ANOTHER POLL! OWNAOWJMOAHDIOHDIOIAGDIUGAIIOFUGUIGOIGFUIUIUIFG*%(

Sorry, once again. I really need to get that checked out.

As I was saying, all you have to do is vote for what I should draw next! You’re options are:

So vote! Vote!! VOTE!!! YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU!!!!

Day 3: The Big Red Behemoth

Welcome all to day 3! I’m in a bit of a rush, so this won’t be a long post. (Well, none of them are really uber long.)  Well, without further ado, here is the gargantuan biomech, EZIREK!

Credit to ToaOrkahm for making this awesome MOC! (My Own Creation.) Also, check the decription of the video for details on stats, story etc.

Well, I’m afraid that’s all for today. Tomorrow, I’ll DEFINITELY be showing something of my own. And as always: Stay Tuned!

P.S: I apologize for the really bad metal music in the background. Mute it if you want. Also, I started at 0:38 because that’s when the pictures of the bionicle itself.

LEGO Review- Vezon and Kardas

Well, I’m not putting it off any longer. Here is the the review of THE GREAT…

VEZON AND KARDAS!!!

Yup, the final review in this box set. Well, if you dont know, here’s how I do my reviews. I write the pros, then cons, my thoughts and a final rating.

No review?! Awwwwwwwwwwwwww…

Now, since I already wrote a review on Vezon back two weeks ago, I’m not reviewing him again. I’ll just say his only differences are his spear and he has a shield. There, Enough said. NOW… on to the good part! THE ACTUAL REVIEW!

See the three silver things on his neck? Botar comes up to the third one.

Pros:

• ULTRA TALL <—-
• Great dragon design
• Fully poseable tail
• 6 poseable toes
• Great body design
• Although his arms are quite short, it fits with his character.
• Awesome Wings
• Poseable neck
• Fenrakk Head (one of the best poseable mouths i’ve seen.

Cons:

• Lower legs are a little short for my liking
  

  His Pieces

• Can’t make wings flap (well, not as easily as Ultimate Dumes…)
• Instructions are a wee bit confusing
• His head has trouble balancing when his neck is all the way up
• Nowhere for Vezon to attach to.

My Thoughts:

This guy. Just. This guy… wow. He’s ultra tall (the tallest Bionicle, in fact) he has super posability, he’s one of the most balanced giant bionicles I own and for looks… I mean… just look at him. Look at him.

LOOK AT HIM!!!!!!!

Now, I did mention his lower legs are quite short, but if they were to be made longer, but it made him look less awesome, I would pick smaller legs. One thing that might throw you off, in the story, Kardas lost pretty much every single battle he fought. (Maybe because he’s a mutated mutant spider?) But, forget the story. This guys gonna be a killing MACHINE!!!

“Good Kardas. Nice devastating monster. Are you my favourite engine of destruction? Yes you are.” -Vezon

Rating:

I know I said I didn’t like these, but I like this guy SO much, I think I’ll dare to say… I rate him 5/5 stars. The look, the consept, the pose, the balance, the companion, IT ALL SCREAMS “YES!!” In fact, I recommend the whole limited edition box set of Kardas. I had lots of fun with every set in it, and I’m gonna keep this guy built for a while. Plus, almost every set in there is a good challenge. Anyone who’s looking to buy this set, and are looking for advice, I say BE MY GUEST! You won’t regret it!

Is there something breathing on me?

Well, that’s that! Join me next time when I review… uh… something. I’ve got a few normal LEGO sets that remain unbuilt. So STAY TUNED FOR NEXT TIME!!

ONWARD, KARDAS! THERE’S MORE TO REVIEW!

LEGO Review- Botar

Another week brings another review! This time it’s…

BOTAR!

Who would have thought id do this? Me, of course. Anyway, this is how I review things. I write the pros, then the cons, my thoughts and a final rating. Now, LET’S RUMBLE!!!!!!

“I HATE SPIDERS!”

Pros:

• Awesome design
• Suprisingly ballanced on his 2 feet (for a bionicle of his size)
  

  (Bad) shot of his blades.

• Very tall
• Poseable jaw
• Arms stay up very easily
• Cool hidden blades —->
• Poseable thumbs

What is this?

Cons:

• Instructions are very tedious and confusing at times
• Cannot lift 1 leg a little without it tipping or falling
• Weapon looks really stupid (and, ironiclly, is the smallest of all of them) <—–

My Thoughts:

I really, REALLY like this guy. Even though I had trouble FINDING the instructions online, his awsome design, suprisingly good balance, poseablity and overall playability make up for that. Although I despise the weapon, I usually just take it off, and then I just use the blades. An overall great set, and definetly one of my favourites.

Vezon: Please have mercy on me! I’ll do anything!
Botar: Naaaaaaaaaaa B.

Rating:

I give this bionicle a 4.5 out of 5 stars. Why? I don’t like giving out perfect rankings. (And the instructions.) If you have Axonn and Brutaka and you’re looking for a challenge, I definetly recommened you build this big behemoth, Botar!

“Shrimp”

Oh, and so you don’t have the same problem as I did finding the instructions, here’s a link:

Tune in next time when I review… THE ONE YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR…. THE GREAT…. KARRRRRDAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS!!! Stay tuned!

The First Poll

I was finally inspired to create a poll. So vote. Vote! VOTE!!!!

LEGO Review- Vezon and Fenrakk

March break is here, time for another review! THIS time, it’s:

VEZON AND FENRAKK!

In case you don’t know how I review these, I write the pros, then cons, my thoughts and a rating. But this time, it will be a liitle different. Im going to write the pros and cons for Vezon and Fenrakk seperatly, but do my thoughts and rating on the two together. Why? Because life is mysterious, and I like french fries. Anyway, LETS DO THIS!!!!!

Weee!

Vezon:

Yo

Pros:

• Looks awesome
• Two Faces (one on top of head)
• Cool tattered cape
• A big spear (longer than Axonn’s axe!)

Loooong Spear

Cons:

• Arms have trouble staying up at times
• Difficult to turn head around (to reveal face)
• Other face looks dumb
• Cape gets all folded and weired around the neck sometimes

Fenrakk:

Hey Man

Pros:

• Huge (width wise)
• Cool leg spikes
• Has little prongs so Vezon can stand on him
• Cool Head
• Moveable Jaw
• Good colouration
• EASY TO BEND KNEES!! FINALLY!!

Cons:

• Back leg spikes fall off a lot
• Really short on his four legs (But maybe thats a good thing)
• Hard to make Fenrakk move his head up and down
• His head doesn’t move up and down much anyway
• Instructions are a little hard to follow sometimes

“Gooood Fenrakk! Goood mutant spider of mass destruction!”

My Thoughts:

Not only is this a cool set because it’s one of the only ones that has a cape and it’s one of the few ones with a mounted rider, but also the idea is cool. I mean, an insane guy guarding one of the most powerful things on the planet with his giant spider that is virtually indestructable? How can you get any better than that? (Besides the Kardas Dragon, I mean.) I lso like him because both characters use interesting building designs. Have you ever seen a figure with a chestpiece like Vezon? Although some of the pieces fall off, it’s still a good set.

Rating:

For my personal rating, I’ll give it a 1 out of 5 stars. It–

FENRAKK DOES NOT APROVE!!!!!!!!!

Ok ok, sheesh. I actually give it a 3.5 out of 5. It’s a very good set and I recommened it to anyone who is looking for it.

Welp, stay tuned next week for another REVIEW! OMG!!

LEGO Review- Brutaka

Well, another month brings another review. Introducing the (not so) gentle giant…

BRUTAKA!

In case you didn’t see the last review, here’s how I do it. I write the pros, cons, my thoughts and a rating. without further ado, let’s get reviewing!

“I kill puny men”

Pros:

• Awesome looking
• Dual bladed sword—>
• Very poseable
• Freakishly tall (below)
• Cool Mask
• 4 arms (2 small ones on back)

Height comprison

 

Cons:

• Instructions are confusing at times
• Sufferes Axonnitis (hard to bend knee’s)
• Spiky parts beside the breastplate and middle toe are wobbly
• Not designed to unarm his weapon

My Thoughts:

This is one awesome set. The gold/blue mix was perfect, considering he’s mainly a villian. I mean, gold and blue are usually assosiated with good, right? Anyway, another reason I like him is because of how freakishly huge everything on him is. His torso, legs, feet, sword and even his mask. Even though some parts are wobbly and he’s hard to put together at times, none of it really ruins the overall playability of this set.

For a rating, I’ll give him 4.5 stars. His awesome looks, size, poseibility and playability make him truly worthy of this rating. He’s a definite recommendation to anyone looking for a good Bionicle.

Axonn: ARGH! YOU GOT A BETTER RATING! DIIIE!
Brutaka: I deserve it, scrub.

Next weeks review: Vezon and Fenrakk! Stay Tuned!
