i would love to see the community revamping this models (with actual bionicle pieces and not lego bricks) just an actualization revamp so they look better and can be posed
Aesthetically it's probably my favorite Dark Hunter along with The Shadowed One and Ancient, even with its technique flaws. Just lookwise, it's awesome.
These are my favorites of your videos, and it was fantastic as always. The rate you come out with videos is super impressive btw! Thanks for all the awesome content!!
Not being able to pose the arms like the picture in the book really hurts this one for me, the striking way his arms are there is a major part of why I liked this one. I'm curious, how many of the dark hunters have you built out of the total?
Agreed, shame about the lack of poseability with this one - and I’m super close to getting all the dark hunters built and reviewed! Not sure how many off the top of my head, but I think I have like 5-6 to go?
Oh, Darkness. I really want to like him but he's just such a mess. My favourite explanation for his... general weirdness was a headcanon that he wasn't actually real. Well, he existed, but the physical entity Darkness was more a mass-hallucination. The real Darkness was a sort of mind-virus that infected all of the DH and made them perceive it as a real, present threat. It lingered around Odina because it was feeding off, and stoking, TSO's paranoia. Hence, it took the general appearance of the being TSO feared most: Teridax. It's far from an airtight theory, Darkness existed before TSO and Teridax became active enemies (though TSO's attempt to take Metru Nui during the Toa-DH War doubtless would've drawn the city's resident Makuta guardian's attention, and his brutal suppression of the Matoran Civil War probably made that an eventuality that TSO dreaded), and in the Toa Empire AU, Takanuva can perceive Darkness and watches him drown. But with a few tweaks, the notion of Darkess as a silent, almost eldritch entity that lingers in the minds of the Dark Hunters, fraying TSO's sanity as it feeds on him, would make for an effctive turn.
I think that with models like this one, if during the parts where they keep falling apart, you edit the video in such a way that presents the section as a montage of pieces falling off, you can add humor and intrigue to that section of the video, as well as cut down on time spent in the video fiddling with the model.
the look and color scheme are pretty cool but I wish his part in the story was more fleshed out than his very one-note role. atleast some missions or fights he was involved in^^
Bad technical build aside it's a shame that the book makes him look way more like a clusterfuck than he actually is, which it sadly does to a lot of other dark hunters. If you look at him in a vacuum, disregarding the fact he can't pose at all irl, you got a neat Freddy Krueger-Scissorhands thing going on here
And now a series of dark jokes: “Knock knock” “Who’s there?” … *Darkness!* “How much is 2 plus 2?” “Is it maybe fou-” *Darkness!* “What is the best game ever made?” “Xenoblade chron-” *Darkness!* for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360” “Who is the best super smash brothers character?” “I would say fox.” “No, it’s *Darkness!* “What time is it?” “Oh let me guess, you are going to say *Darkness!* You always say *Darkness!* Do you really think this is funny? Who in their right mind would laugh at your stupid and unfunny jokes that don’t even make sense?!” “Actually I wanted to say 11:35.” “Oh, I am so sor-” “After *Darkness!* I had to do some sort of kingdom hearts darkness joke here, it’s literally his name

Darkness: I may look like Teridax, but im not him. I am Darkness: the shadow of the Shadowed One.

Thanks and glad you are enjoying! The trick is making videos in advance and sticking to a minimum of 3 per week 😂

Wow, I love that headcanon and it’s 1000x cooler than what we actually got
Now that the Hagah contest is on, it seems time for Mimic.
That’s a great idea
Thank you, Duckbricks. Very cool !
Also, very curious how this one made it through the contest, kinda a stale model

I made some editions to this model to add neck articulation.
Nice! Yeah I can’t imagine it would be too too hard to do
Video or photos?
my favorite dark hunter
Nice!
See the upenn jacket, glad im going there next fall!
Ayy awesome! Hit me up on Instagram and I can show you around!
Yeah thanks man! Ill take you up on that offer.
Waiting for dark hunter phantom
He’s on the way!
the look and color scheme are pretty cool but I wish his part in the story was more fleshed out than his very one-note role.
atleast some missions or fights he was involved in^^
Agreed, it’s a pretty interesting design for a very small side character
You should do savage next
Cool vid! Bonus points for showing gatherer!
Glad you enjoyed!
@@DuckBricks maybe I’ll build him, maybe I won’t. He and the others just look all so interesting!
Lalatina.

I mean. At least it looks cool
Feet probably could've worked if the build was lighter.
Agreed, it definitely would have been better for a smaller design
Do you think we can discuss on Instagram What I’ve discussed with you
I will take a look! Been super hectic/busy all day
Noice
If i can build darkness he gonna be very different versions of him so he well be more awesome looking darkness version for him
Nice! Good luck with that!
And now a series of dark jokes:
“Knock knock”
“Who’s there?”
… *Darkness!*
“How much is 2 plus 2?”
“Is it maybe fou-”
*Darkness!*
“What is the best game ever made?”
“Xenoblade chron-”
*Darkness!* for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360”
“Who is the best super smash brothers character?”
“I would say fox.”
“No, it’s *Darkness!*
“What time is it?”
“Oh let me guess, you are going to say *Darkness!* You always say *Darkness!* Do you really think this is funny? Who in their right mind would laugh at your stupid and unfunny jokes that don’t even make sense?!”
“Actually I wanted to say 11:35.”
“Oh, I am so sor-”
“After *Darkness!*
I had to do some sort of kingdom hearts darkness joke here, it’s literally his name
Teridaxn't
