your videos are standout because you actually explain your thought process - it makes it so much more interesting to get a look into the mind of such a talented lego artist!
I absolutely love this. Adore the fact that you added in his backpack and the light stone. Makes him feel more like a true character, and not just a chosen one plot point. Amazing work.
I feel like a puppy watching their owner, like I don't understand most of these words and I have no clue what the Bionicle lore is and these builds look like real time magic, but I have all the interest and attention in the world :)
@@skulvak I wish it was that easy. LEGO have thrown away their OG Bionicle injection moulds. We would never get the old style parts anymore. And the new style parts are not really popular due to design changes.
@@Declopse yes but behind the scenes Lego is slowly modifying and modernizing old Bionicle parts they will soon see light, we just have to be patient and trust the process
@@Declopse We don't need the OG moulds. We just need some complexity. Or at the very least the MOC community has to start developing some alternatives. There IS a market still for bionicle.

To my understanding the "edgy" phase of bionicle ('06-'08) was their peak both financially and culturally.

Bionicle mocs will forever be my favorite genre of Lego mocs. Love ur video format and the way u thoroughly walk through your building process in an entertaining way. Great job with this build man.
I can already see you becoming one of the biggest content creators in the lego community. Your concepts are really creative and super unique. Honestly the most interesting lego/bionicle content out there! You should try something with Kopaka, Master of Ice!
I need more vids. I remember playing with Bionicles when I was a kid. This brings nostalgia and to see how much more detailed you make them is freaking epic. Awesome content man!
I really love how you've definitely made him very much like a Toa of Light, especially given him few things that further solidify him as Takua, even though he isn't anymore in body! Its too bad though you couldn't just add in a heart light anywhere on his chest.
This deserves way more likes and views this is insane, I did guess since you used more brick peices it was all pushed in together(tension) so it was waiting to break as soon as it touched the floor
honestly i love your videos, the joy of nostalgia + the complexity of some of the joints you create just brings me a combination of pleasures i didnt think was possible. Thank you, please keep up the great work and I am really looking forward to your next video :)
The extra effort you go through to narrate basically every step you go through is so phenomenal and its one of the big reasons I like to stick around 🤟🤟
Every bit of this was fantastic, and beyond how nice everything looks, it's appreciated SO much how careful you are to have a stable build as well. I've seen very beautiful MOCs that fall apart if you so much as breathe at it, and that have very poor articulation - but you manage to have neither of those problems, while also having an absolutely stunning and clean build.
Daaamn the golden armor pieces look so incredibly cool! 😮👍 "Ooh, shiny" aside, it's genuinely impressive how many lego themes/brick types/elements you're able to bring together into something that looks like a high quality action figure/display model. So many different ways of thinking/build strategies/parts usages coming together to produce something genuinely impressive. Who knew you could combine Bionicle, technic, system and hero factory and have the final result look this good. 💥🧠💥
It might not be in the Bionicle universe, but I was wondering what your interpretation of a mutated / deformed Bionicle monstrosity would be. I love the builds you make!
What a cool build. All the nods to MNOG and the original Takanuva set were so satisfying. This is the first of your videos I've seen, and explaining your thought process as you go along is so helpful for a new MOCist coming out of his dark age. It's exactly what I've been looking for! Keep up the awesome work.
I really love this. The build is so incredible, and it is nice not only being able to see what kind of techniques were used to pull off the models you make, such as this, it goes through the process of it, and it makes these absolutely incredible builds feel less impossible and unattainable, while only adding to it's impressiveness.
tbh i think it would have been better if the light stone was attached to the top of the staff instead of the bottom, this way it wouldnt drag on the floor and could hang infront of him like a lantern (not that a toa of light needs one) great build!
Just thinking about how you would ever come up with these techniques really blows my mind. I'm glad I was introduced to you by one of Ben Cossy's videos.
really like your attention to detail and adding little things that show you went the extra mile thinking about the project. like the bag and the light crystal.
My main takeaway from your videos is that people first need to worry about the outer aesthetic before worrying about how to get there. Where most build the skeleton and then slap armor on it, you grab armor and fill it with a skeleton.
You definitely need to try upgrading the Hero Factory figures since I think the mechanical aspect is right up your alley. I especially suggest the “breakout” figures since that’s what I remember the most.
This was one of my favourite Bionicles as a kid, but his left arm fell accidentally as I was getting in the car and it got run over in the driveway. So cool seeing Takanuva again and your version is sick. Would be really interested in watching you revamp the original 6 Toa, I feel like they all have so much personality and potential but those original figures all look the same for the most part, outside of Pohatu and Onua having some wacky anatomy.
I look forward to all of these videos. I anxiously wait for the next one. When I first found your channel I was upset there wasn’t more videos like this to binge! Keep up the great work thank you!
As a long time Lego & Bionicle fan who watches very little content for either, this was wonderful. You've got a sort of Bob Ross level appeal going here, its very fun to watch the build come together and hear your little insights and comments on what you're doing as you go. Acknowledging the hiding of broken pieces or graphics gave it some charming relatability, lol. I actually subscribed, will be watching again
Dang Bionicle may be my childhood, but I can never forget, hero factory. I love the way you use some parts from that series into reminds me of nostalgia of how many knock off brands and original Lego sets that I used to own with hero factory that were no well sold because of a garage sale man.
This is so amazing. I found your videos by chance and I can't believe how cool this build turned out to be. Takanuva is my favorite, too, which adds a bit of coolness to this video. Great work, Man!
your videos are standout because you actually explain your thought process - it makes it so much more interesting to get a look into the mind of such a talented lego artist!
Glad you like them!
you are insane@@MitchBuilds
Трудно осознавать, что рано или поздно, все ресурсы будут всасаны из нашей планеты, что будет дальше?
I like that too. Nickonplanetripple does something similar with his moc videos.
@@VOID-s8qwhy tf you commenting this on a fucking bionicle video lmao
Your builds are how cool I remember Bionicle being. It's funny to look back and see them as they were.
swear they used to look so much cooler!🤣
@@pulseyt193The bigger titan figures still hold up, Hydraxon, Brutaka, Axon, etc. And the Toa Mahri are all just S-tier designs
@@JM64 yeah
You've put my thoughts and feelings into words! Thank you!
Bionicle is still just as cool.
I absolutely love this. Adore the fact that you added in his backpack and the light stone. Makes him feel more like a true character, and not just a chosen one plot point. Amazing work.
Usuing the broken flag was so relatable. I have so many broken but usable pieces. keep em coming with the amazing videos
Haha yeah I love to find a place to use those broken bits
I feel like a puppy watching their owner, like I don't understand most of these words and I have no clue what the Bionicle lore is and these builds look like real time magic, but I have all the interest and attention in the world :)
Haha glad you’re enjoying it :)
*puts on grandpa like glasses* back in my day…
In all seriousness it's a rabbit hole, trust me
What a gem of a channel! This makes me want to pull out my old bionicle/ HF pieces and make a moc of my own.
They NEEEEED to being back bionicle and get you to design them :D
You know that LEGO tried to bring back Bionicle and it failed due to a scarce of popularity and financial reasons. This guy is not gonna change that
@@Declopse with enough views and hope you can change anything.

Glad you like them!
Never before have I been so excited to see white and gold 🙏MY BOY'S BEEN MADE!!!
Dude your legit a master builder like literally the way you use random pieces like a freaking hot dog!! I love it man keep u the awesome characters.
Oh DAMN! He looks *GREAT!!*
I can already see you becoming one of the biggest content creators in the lego community. Your concepts are really creative and super unique. Honestly the most interesting lego/bionicle content out there!
You should try something with Kopaka, Master of Ice!
Thank you so much 😃
Please do Makuta Teridax next cause of the Mask of Light movie.
Yes please do
How big will the Makuta be in the size of the Toa of Light?🧐
I’d love to see Mitch’s take on teridax!
That's gonna be sodding huge
I don't know how you did it, but you brought to life how everybody saw Takanuva in our minds. It's so amazing
Love all the nods to the lore and the original design!
THIS WAS THE BIONICLE MOVIE THAT I WATCHED WHEN I WAS A KID! 😭
I need more vids. I remember playing with Bionicles when I was a kid. This brings nostalgia and to see how much more detailed you make them is freaking epic. Awesome content man!
Holy smokes! You outdid yourself with this one, and i thought that maxilos and spinax were amazing this just look's beautiful.
this might actually be my favorite Takanuva MOC now. great work!
I really love how you've definitely made him very much like a Toa of Light, especially given him few things that further solidify him as Takua, even though he isn't anymore in body! Its too bad though you couldn't just add in a heart light anywhere on his chest.
Thanks!! I never was big on heart lights personally...
This deserves way more likes and views this is insane, I did guess since you used more brick peices it was all pushed in together(tension) so it was waiting to break as soon as it touched the floor
You’re single handled reviving my love for bionicles. Keep going! You’re amazing!
Very cool, very impressive. Even if more "anime mecha" than 'bionicle". Loving the commentary, too.
Dude you have some of the best building techniques I've ever seen never stop making these
I just love those gold plated parts, so pretty!
wow, so cool. look like a gundam. i love the build techniques and very creative. keep it up !!!
honestly i love your videos, the joy of nostalgia + the complexity of some of the joints you create just brings me a combination of pleasures i didnt think was possible.

Glad you like them!
@@MitchBuildsi love them :D have a wonderful day and thanks for the response, always apricated!
I'm so glad I found this channel, I didn't realise how much I needed Bionicle content until now, please keep adding to this series

your videos are calming and entertaining at the same time!

Your Bionicle builds are so awesome! I get excited every time one pops up in my feed

My number one favorite Bionicle, you did an amazing job with this moc
Another awesome build Mitch! Can't say I'm surprised at this point! With these sick builds LEGO might be inspired to bring Bionicle back haha
Killed it again man! I can’t imagine being this good at building! I will continue to support your work as long as you continue! 😄
God this is actually incredible, those beauty shots at the end are DELICIOUS
It might not be in the Bionicle universe, but I was wondering what your interpretation of a mutated / deformed Bionicle monstrosity would be. I love the builds you make!
I love how your builds have some of the sturdiest and some of the flimsiest connections (looking at you flags) at the same time. Great build man!
Surprisingly the flags survived the drop test!
@@MitchBuilds Keep up the great work! (I edited a typo in tge original comment and now the heart is gone, day ruined)
Awesome video man. I hope I will find a parts plan to build this at some point in the future.
You just unlocked a childhood memory, Thank you
What a cool build. All the nods to MNOG and the original Takanuva set were so satisfying. This is the first of your videos I've seen, and explaining your thought process as you go along is so helpful for a new MOCist coming out of his dark age. It's exactly what I've been looking for! Keep up the awesome work.
Your builds are incredible and you make it look so easy. I’m always excited to see you upload.
This is an amazing look for Takanuva! It has to be made official!
Dude, these builds are actually so good, they remind me of the ideas I would have as a kid mixing and matching random Bionicle parts.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how we got the knock-off chinese God Gundam that used legos for the inner frame.
Would love to see the entire toa-nuva squad made up this way. Would be awesome to see them.
I really love this. The build is so incredible, and it is nice not only being able to see what kind of techniques were used to pull off the models you make, such as this, it goes through the process of it, and it makes these absolutely incredible builds feel less impossible and unattainable, while only adding to it's impressiveness.
Thanks for the kind words! That's exactly what I'm hopeing these vids will do so is pretty cool to hear that!
Love mocs that incorporate the best design engineering from Plamo kits, double jointed knees and elbows.
Amazing work here 8000 out of 10 I'm loving it 😊❤
tbh i think it would have been better if the light stone was attached to the top of the staff instead of the bottom, this way it wouldnt drag on the floor and could hang infront of him like a lantern (not that a toa of light needs one)
great build!
Oh good idea! I'll give that a try :)
I grew up playing with bionicles I'm 14 now but it's just so cool yo see you build these it seems like how I imagined them when I played with them
Please keep doing this I love these videos, wish there was a whole catalog
That's fantastic. I miss the days I would build with bionicle pieces.
I switched over to system bricks because I lost a bunch of stuff in a flood
Definitely some unorthodox building techniques that help this stand apart from other designs
Love those chromed parts
This is absolutely wicked! I love the side profile of the legs.
Man’s been calf raising
Just thinking about how you would ever come up with these techniques really blows my mind. I'm glad I was introduced to you by one of Ben Cossy's videos.
really like your attention to detail and adding little things that show you went the extra mile thinking about the project. like the bag and the light crystal.

I don't care if it's legal or not, your Bionicle builds are so good!
My main takeaway from your videos is that people first need to worry about the outer aesthetic before worrying about how to get there.
Where most build the skeleton and then slap armor on it, you grab armor and fill it with a skeleton.
Yeah that’s how I approach it! Nothing wrong with doing it the other way tho! As long as it’s fun :)
I love these bionicle builds there so detailed and there really cool you deserve so many more subs man.
That looks really cool, this is how I imagined my MOC Bionicles looked like when I was a kid :D
Absolutely loving this channel, these custom builds are SO cool
I'm only halfway through the vid and this build is INCREDIBLE. If only we had THIS for the 2023 set! :D
“How many pistons Mitch?”
“Yes”
Love the sound of lego snapping together
Man, this guy can attach anything to everything!
Everything you build is awesome
looks great, really like the legs especially. This feels very gundam like
Dooope!!! Bionicle was ahead of its time!
Stunning, the gold is beautiful. I especially love the use of the bike armor
just a gorgeous design, and the metallic parts are just the cherry on top
You definitely need to try upgrading the Hero Factory figures since I think the mechanical aspect is right up your alley. I especially suggest the “breakout” figures since that’s what I remember the most.
Wow those legs are so well made!!!
It’s official, I love this channel. You’re awesome man!!
awesome video as always, would love to see more builds like these

The details from the online game are so neat!
That look's so dope 😁
Yes! I love the Nuvas. I hope you also do Makuta some day.
This is actually the true LEGO MOC. Using the details from different themes an decades! 👏
Finally, Takanuva! Make Makuta next--or Takutanuva!
Your videos are so unique and cool! You sir, got yourself a new subscriber
Those bionicles you build are crazy. When i was a kid my favorite Bionicle was Gadunka, loved the size of his mouth :D
Awesome! Also reminds me of the Barbatos gundam.
Holy shit those legs and torso are the work of art! I will need to learn some of that myself!

Thanks for the kind comment! Made my day :)
It has some strong Gundam vibes. It's a wonderful Takanuva build.
The chromed mask looks just like what I felt like I was looking at when I first opened his kit
As one who’s still a fan of Bionicle, AND who still owns a copy of the MASK OF LIGHT DVD, this looks amazing!
You're getting Gundam levels of detail out of lego. Very impressive. It's also burning a hole in my pocket.
Looks like a Gundam. Very cool. I had the Takanuva with the Ussanui set as a kid
Dang Bionicle may be my childhood, but I can never forget, hero factory. I love the way you use some parts from that series into reminds me of nostalgia of how many knock off brands and original Lego sets that I used to own with hero factory that were no well sold because of a garage sale man.
You gotta do Toa Lhikan next. Such an iconic Bionicle.
you know its going to be an insane build when the burnt hotdog comes out!
i cant stop rewatching this ep.
This is so amazing. I found your videos by chance and I can't believe how cool this build turned out to be. Takanuva is my favorite, too, which adds a bit of coolness to this video. Great work, Man!
Thank you! Welcome aboard :)
