I feel like whenever a Toa needs to make a big decision, a small light and shadow toa appear and float on either side of their shoulders, telling them what is the best option. 😂
I don’t know why, but for some reason when I see Gali’s face here, it reminded me of eggs? 😅🤣 It’s like her yellow eyes are two yolks and her trans-clear kaukau is the albumen! 🍳
Two weeks late, but at 5:47, the white Technic "catches" on Pohatu's fingers are actually somewhat rare, having only appeared in nine sets to date. They never appeared in any Bionicle sets, but they first appeared in early 2002 in the Technic R2-D2 figure (8009), and in two "Discovery Channel" sets (7467 and 7470) in June 2003. These were the part's last appearance in white for nearly twenty years, before finally reappearing in another Technic set (42150) at the start of 2023. Their most recent appearance in white was in a Ninjago set (71818) from June of this year.
I don’t know why but the light toa look so much better. I think it’s the yellow eyes contrasting with the the white masks, and it’s cool to see all the masks in white. Really brings me back to my childhood.
2:45 a ball is often a "male" in a connection and a socket a "female". Hence why all the male toa (with the exception onua? Cuz his head) have balls and Gali have socket on her chest. Its a designer joker.
I'd love to see how Light Gali would look wearing the misprint yellow kaukau, it may not be accurate to the colour scheme but I wonder if it would work really well here 🤔 Great builds as always!
Glad you tried it and I agree that the standard Toa are fine as they are Especially when the colours contrast against the shallow Toa. Awesome dedication and work involved in this
We have light Toa Mata… how about light Toa Nuva? That should be fairly easy thanks entirely to our dear friends Takanuva and Pridak, and they’d look stunning with the protodermis Nuva masks!
Maybe we need a protodermis Toa team where all of their parts are trans clear. If only those parts existed, I don't think they do even in bootleg and customs.
@ryugaknight Silver would be excellent to see. For either of our ideas to be realized, one would probably need to use a 3D printer for the torsos, or paint them.
you know what would be kind of fun is negative toa, meaning if they ever made them have the same colors scheme but reversed, like for tahu a orange body,mask and red limbs, or if ever there would be trans color bodies and limbs
Maybe for a future video, you could try incorporating Toa Metru colors into the Toa Mata, for example swapping out orange with dark red for Tahu or lime for dark green for Lewa
I agree with your sentiment, but this was really cool to see regardless. Personally I would make only one custom toa of light to complete the elemental theme and leave it at that
2:46 well Pohatu is the best of the team, don’t doubt me on that you know it to be true. In all seriousness Pohatu’s my favorite of the team and his Mata set is my favorite of the Toa Mata so I’m definitely biased. Also i reckon you could’ve used keetorange hand connectors to add a bit of extra color while still staying in that yellow/gold adjacent color realm, hey it worked for Lego themselves right? Also for Tahu you could’ve used a sword from the exo-force set Stealth Hunter.
I love watching your videos always do, but I don’t think I’m a big fan of the toe of light team I prefer the shadow toe just in my opinion, but I really can’t wait to see you do more
Im not sure if this would work at all, but can you bleach the color pieces you need? like how people bleach their hair before dying it. Probably more work than worth but just spit balling an idea
It's okay, us Americans are all jealous of Europeans for being able to find every older LEGO item for cheap in bulk whereas old LEGO in America is almost universally an expensive collectors item.
@@Thinginator yeah but what about other countries, like why would you be jealous of Mexico and its Lego sets costing slightly more than in the US and bionicle parts sold at three times its original price

a little mata nui and makuta teridax
this just made me go "HELL YEAH!"
Two great bionicle toa videos in one week! 🤩🤩
Hope they were worth the wait :)
@@brickthumbdefinitely!
@@brickthumb they were!
I don’t know why, but for some reason when I see Gali’s face here, it reminded me of eggs? 😅🤣 It’s like her yellow eyes are two yolks and her trans-clear kaukau is the albumen! 🍳
Those 13 nujus most likely are all missing more than one piece, and it’s not unlikely that at least one had that piece as the only one left.
Great recolors, love your ideas, keep making quality contents like this
Gali as a Toa of light is perfection, I'd part out her over all the others
Seeing this video really made me realize how charming the Toa Mata really are. I guess I never really appreciated them until now.

3:13 HMMMMMMMMMMM
I knew you were the type to get hobbyist supplies from a GW!

Pohatu took Onua's, then. I'm... not sure how hard I want to think about what that means, symbolically.
Intresting that Onua has none and Pohatu has 2
What you should for the next video set is gray how they look before they put the mask on.
7:08 could have used turahks staff
The larger gear on the back does come officially in white (it isn't super common though)
video idea shadow toa toa (should basically be a stronger shadow toa that has the original toas masks and they more elemental feel)

The pure white makes them look like marble statues.

Epic momento here
8:00 Light toa vs shadowtoa, ultimate showdown!
Maybe we need a protodermis Toa team where all of their parts are trans clear. If only those parts existed, I don't think they do even in bootleg and customs.
Silver/ Grey would probably work too. But I don't think even 3rd parties make the Toa body in those colors.

i actually have this set, i got it for free this year from freecycle!
my dad drove me to peak district to pick it up
As a Warhammer Nerd, I was not expecting to see Citadel Retributor Armor. XD
I think the light toa nuva will look great
I wonder if Rahkshi of Light would be possible
the toa mate if they had there skin peeled off in question:
Sound like it's time to build Toa Kaita of shadow and Toa Kaita of light
NICE!

Dark and light Turaga should be next.
love these videos
Brickthumb best
This thumbnail feels illegal
I agree with your sentiment, but this was really cool to see regardless.

Citidel color nice
Apple Toa.

What’s the music you have playing through the video? The one that sounds like a melody
2:46 well Pohatu is the best of the team, don’t doubt me on that you know it to be true.

Are you going to do any more lore videos?
i like how the mata body kinda makes them look like skeletons.
Im not sure if this would work at all, but can you bleach the color pieces you need? like how people bleach their hair before dying it. Probably more work than worth but just spit balling an idea
God i wish i had those Mask recolors
The light toa might not stand a chance when the dark exo-toas come through
Holy shite, Toa of bleach...!
Onua is tooooooo clean
Can you move the torso back 🙂🙂👋🏻
Dude, make purple and orange rahkshi
1:01 WHAT
Bro that's hilarious I don't think he meant to do that
@mfavrow540 i hope so, that outright jumpscared me when i saw it
Wake up fellow Toa! Brickthumb just posted another video!
2:46 how come Kopaka has a blue shield?
what website do you use for gobricks?
I missed you
That easy access to custom parts makes me jealous of americans, i wish i could just get those for a normal shipping price
