- It's time for shiny Toa! Yes, inspired by the shinies found in Pokemon games, your favourite Toa are back in brand new colours. Say hello to Fire Gali, Water Tahu, Earth Kopaka and more. #Bionicle #Pokemon #review
If you're allowing silver tools, you could make an ice Matau; his staff comes in silver on an old racers set
Blue Tahu is DEFINITELY Toa of gas. Such simple, yet genius idea!
He's the Toa of Propane and Propane Accessories
Mhm! Great idea.
Toa of Steam. hot air, as they say
I thought it would have been Tahu, Toa currents
10:13, idk if this was the case elsewhere, but I remember Legoland California having a Bionicle/Hero Factory room where you could build stuff. And for whatever reason, they had specific recolors of the 2001 Toa masks, where the red Akuka was one of them. And I definitely, absolutely did not take the recolors with me out of the park…
ice pohatu definitely takes the win for me. but in all fairhood his shoes were never essential enough to warrant worrying. coz all he needs is his stoneball which comes in many and can be even be approximated via regular system bricks allowing all six color variants possible. but yeah i would love to see toa voriki reviewed someday.
This was really entertaining! especially learing what other sets used alternate color pieces. I remember finding alternate uses for bionicle pieces in other sets and always thinking it was kind of neat.
My favourite would have to be the white Toa Mata Onua, the Toa of Mountains, if that sounds cool. Since earth and ice make mountains. Or maybe the green Toa Mata Onua, the Toa of Dirt? Since plants and earth make dirt. Or maybe the black Toa Mata Kopaka, the Toa of Mountains type 2? Since earth and ice make mountains. Or maybe the white Toa Mata Pohatu, the Toa of Quartz? Since ice and stone make quartz. The white Toa Mata Pohatu would look really cool in his silver Mask of Speed! Or maybe the red Toa Mata Lewa, The Toa of Fire Tornadoes? Since wind and fire make fire tornadoes.
Bit jank having the air guys be jungle-themed, huh?
If you can get orange shoes you can make an orange onua with the boxor matoran’s mask
I actually *did* find Kopaka's ice shield in translucent Mata red, but, it was only available in the Space Force Lego City set from 2001. But, this *does* remind me of the Toa Mata Piraka Returns sets that I did in 2007! Really cool! Unfortunately, I got rid of all of my BIONICLE sets in 2007.
The only Toa Mata Piraka Returns set were only doable for Toa Mata Tahu, and Toa Mata Kopaka. The other ones just looked silly.
Kopaka actually fits the toa of earth look. Plus he has the best mask power for the job being the mask of x-ray vision.
Him: * mentions toa of gass *
Me: *breathes shakily sweating* ....I'm better than this..
I once made a Shadow Toa Tahu (like the representation of his silhouette on the advertisement etc)..basically in black with yellow eyes and the same mask which came from another set and had a rusted affect and made a non elemental Bohrok in white and dark silver with glowing eye pieces which I called nest guardian or queens royal guard.
I actually have the unique Bohrok on display..and shadow Toa Tahu is in a box somewhere.
New names:
Tahu: Onuhu/Gahu
Gali: Tali/Onuli/Koli/Leli
Onua: Koa/Taa/Lea
Kopaka: Onupaka/Gapaka/Tapaka
Lewa: Onuwa/Tawa/Kowa
Pohatu: Kohatu
Nokama: Onukama
Epic pokemon refrence!
You could use metru brown for limbs
Loved this!!
I'll will like you do the same things on Toa Nuva set
I looked all the parts does exist only one part is the problem and it is design number 3961 but it does exist in black,brown,white and red no green and blue but throw dye blue and green on design number 3961 and it will be good
It's a shame that there isn't that white mata hand, to make an ice tahu
No brown or tan recolours, eh? I’m sure the Toa Nuva won’t have that problem (aside from Kopaka Nuva)
Yeah, Kopaka Nuva's annoying. His shield even comes in the right shade of brown, it's just that damn arm piece...
why have i never thought of this before?
Looks cool, do the same for the Toa Nuva.
cum pohatu
that was nice
Koblacca : ❌
Tupaca : ✅
Can Onua be orange?
Kinda. There are orange bits for almost all his parts except his body :(
Water Tahu =
Marka
Do shiny nuva
Tahu turning becoming so hot he turns blue in an intense battle would actually have been a great story moment.
It could be a fun plot point
This was such a cool video, I like that you even recreated the canister art with the color switched ones! It would be awesome if you tried creating your own Toa Mata team that utilise the secondary elements such as: Gravity, Lightning, Plantlife, Magnetism etc!
there is already a channel on youtube that has been doing toa mata builds of various elements dood
@@crushedcan5378 I know, Im subbed to him. It doesn’t mean that other channeks aren’t allowed to do it though
@@freddoesvox9033 Whats the channel name? im interested
@@yeth797 Nuparu’s Workshop, he hasn’t uploaded in a couple of months though :(
Tahu: Toa of Propane -
-Mmmhm, that's a clean-burnin Toa.
"Dad, why are you grilling my Bionicles?"
This feels like an iconic moment for the series from an alternate universe where G1 Bionicle had a TV show lol
Maybe an episode where some Weird Magic Stuff (tm) shuffles around their elements?
I was just thinking about something similar this morning- would love to see Gali with the Hahli mahri color scheme using Lewa parts, Kopaka with light blue instead of grey, and Onewa with Tahu's orange parts etc. Alternate color schemes while still trying to fit the element would be cool
Oh, that's a good one! Adding to the list, thanks :)
@@brickthumband the onus mask comes in orange on the mech suit matoran set
glacier onua is my new favourite Toa 😁
If this was a 2000s/early 2010s youtube channel Pohaut would start coming back as a comical nemesis for how he/his element got slighted here lul
Would love to see a sequel to this making color swapped Toa Nuva
It would definitely be a lot easier with the silver armor and tools regardless of Toa, so we can see each Toa in every color easily. I bet they would look awesome!
Kopaka got that n word pass
For the Fire Lewa at 11:01, the 6M Technic axles in Mata red at first only appeared in two sets (3544 and 3545) from the short-lived Hockey subtheme of "Sports" from 2003 and two Bionicle parts tubs in 2005 (8715), and '06 (6620) respectively. Ten years later, they were brought back in three Technic sets (42049, 42050, and 42052) in January of 2016, and are still in use today, having appeared in roughly 147 sets overall.
YES! I've been waiting for this video! You pulled it off even better than I imagined. Such a shame we didn't get recolors of everything, especially Pohatu.. oh well. I currently have an Onua of Ice and a Gali of Fire, so those are definitely my favourites.
Glad you enjoyed it :) Gotta confess, my fingers were pretty sore by the end of it!
@@brickthumbWe all appreciate your sacrifices haha. Looking forward to your next video!
I really like these sorts of videos you've been doing, you've come up with some really cool re-imaginings of characters while staying faithful to their original builds.
There are alternative universes in Bionicle, so it’s not that far of a stretch to say this could be a possibility. In my opinion, if there were a “Shiny Toa Universe” Tahu would be the Toa of Water, Gali would be the Toa of Fire, Onua would be the Toa of Ice, and Kopaka would be the Toa of Earth
I had thought all about these possibilities. I had thought about possibly making a Fire Gali when I was a kid and knew that if I got the Master Builder set, I would have two orange weapon arms. Although I didn't have the red Kaukau until years later. It's interesting to see I am not the only one who thought of this idea.
Personally, I feel like you could get away with using a black hand connector piece for Ice Lewa. It's a neutral color used for the Toa's shoulders and hips, and I don't think it breaks away too far from the established color palette. Maybe replace his finger parts with white to compensate?
hm, this video makes me imagine the Toa being ambushed by a Rahi of some kind that rearranges their elements, and they must learn how to properly use their new elemental powers from each other so that they can defeat the Rahi and set things right.
Pohatu has black hands, so i feel like most people would approve of you using black weapon on brown toa, if that was an explanation
Nevermind, without tan arm, you can't do anything
These wouldn't be shinies, they would be regional variants
My original toa ocs (do not steal!)
You can not tell me these don't exist in an alternate Universe. In-canon that is. Since Takanuva has jumped Around the multiverse, so who's to say they don't appear in an alternate World.
I would love to see a dyed pieces video but pohatu really is the only problem unless you go full custom for his weapon like you did with the shadow toa
It's be cool if we got a silver toa, like a toa of iron tahu or pohatu
It's ironic because Bionicle was made to be Legos contender against the popularity of Pokemania in the 2000s
This was such a satisfying and relaxing video
I had actually gotten the black Tahu sword in one of those barrels of random pieces from 04-05, and I didn’t get my hands on Tahu mats until 2021 so there’s always been a weird nostalgia for me surrounding that version of the piece.
Video ideas:
Toa mata built in the Inika build format.
The matoran form of the toa inika built in the Inika (or mata) build format.
Toa mata as turaga
Turaga as toa mata
Good side Karzhani and evil Artakha builds? 👀
Inika/ mahri into phantoka theme? Vici versa?
Love it when you do the imposable with these builds
This video made me realise that all the G1 Toa names include their region prefix.
If you take that concept, you can kinda give each of these MOCs a canon name. For example, blue Tahu would be called Gahu. Or white Pohatu would be called Kohatu.
The 7L axle does actually exist in brown, although perhaps it would be a bit too long for Lewa's axe. It is also quite rare as it only came in set 4195 Queen Anne's Revenge.
Oh wow, can't believe I missed that! Could be trimmed down to a more suitable length...I guess there's hope for Stone Lewa yet!
@@brickthumbthe tan arm piece still isn’t a thing, though… Lewa requires one. Adventures with Dye may yield better results for a stone Lewa.
Great video!!!! I hope you do the same video Toa Nuva. I feel like it will be easier since their tools are all in silver!!
If you can find a way to recreate the toa body, you can branch out into even crazier, rarer colours. I was able to design a functional replacement with slizer body parts that supported all the used connections for upright toa and the gear box, unlocking support for yellow, dark grey, and almost purple (sadly, the technic arm bits didn't come in classic purple or magenta)
Tahu original sword design works as waves for the water element hehe
Is this the Bionicle opposite day special?
Love your ideas for MOCs and it also inspire me to make my own, keep sharing great content.
Thank you :)
koblacka? konigga!
I kinda of think I’d prefer the fire sword for the red kopaka
Very cool video. I especially like how you show what sets the pieces come from and how rare they are!
This is just awesome!!! And love the commentary
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it :)
The Kanohi Kaukau being transparent will always make Gali stand out.
How much did you spend on this stuff .-.
Can u do this with the Bohrok????
I think he can only deal with him with the Pahrak, as far as his shields come in red and blue in the sets of the bohrok queens
Maybe could have done brown Lewa with Turaga Onewa's hammer. Would have broken the rules a bit, but I think it would be fine.
It would interesting to see a version of this using the secondary elements. Like a Tahu as a Toa of Lightning or Gali as a Toa of Plantlife.
ok, so today I was able to find the fist and third bionicle movies at a garage sale and I'm super existed! the bionicle movies came out before i was old enough to know what bionicle was, so I never got the chance to watch the original 3 movies until now. If there is a video on youtube video that you guys recommend to help me better understand whats going on in the movies, let me know. I'm not entirely up to speed on all the bionicle lore yet, but I'm getting there.
all 3 of the first films can actually be found here on youtube :3 heres the second one: ua-cam.com/video/sq4rykVtCjI/v-deo.html
awesome! thanks for the info. i might just end up watching all 3 on youtube so I don't have to break out the old dvd player. lol@@ravenpowell9312
you can kinda make brown toa with one of the other brown colored arms like light and normal brown, but there is only 2 normal brown arms on bricklink. ;right brown comes from he set Vahki Zadakh. but even though there are 2, I think they are knock off/custom lego pieces because they don't come in any sets.
Great video! Very fun to watch 😄
I had some ideas for future "stone-swaps", that is if you arent a stickler for era accurate pieces, you could easily fill in the missing gaps with parts from Zesk, the stone bohrok, and Humungosaur. For example, on a stone onua you could use those humungosaur fists in place of the standard arms and add on humungosaur's feet just to spice things up. If you arent a fan of that look you could use Zesk's limbs and pop balljoints into the open sockets to hold weapons and shields. Hero Factory's Ogrum came with brown piraka feet so there is another option for "Stonua". On a stone kopaka for instance you could have that stone bohrok's shield stand in the place of that system shield he usually wields and pair that ensemble with his sword in silver. For Lewa, Tahu, and Gali silver weapons seems like the only "good" option give the avalible pieces, unless ofcourse you're willing to use a humungosaur tail as a whip 😂
i have the yellow
That black tahu is so bad a** I think I’m gonna make my own lol
In the original books the gray on Kopaka is described as silver, and Pohatu’s brown as bronze. So the silver feet for Ice Pohatu absolutely work
interesting idea, they look cool in these different colors
I need fire/lava gali !!
The fire gali reminds me of the episode of my life as a teenage robot where Jenny gets a hot rod paint job
Man i posted a shiny blue pohatu 4 months ago as a joke and now it became a full series
Now the entire list of shiny-elligible figures Has been created:
Turaga: most of their tools are flat-silver, yet their mask exist both in toa and turaga colors. (Especially black nokama someone sold, called ,,yeskama")
Toa nuva: literally the same as the mata ones but easier to make as the tools are identical
Rahkshi: flat silver for all tribes
Makuta: takanuva colors (or if you use the aliexpress mask recolors, you can make all recolors)
Metru whenua: incredibly rare dark blue variant
Vahki: nothing special honestly, MAYBE dark bluish gray color shift.
Krekka and Nidhiki: all vahki colors avadalible
Turaga dume: flat silver variant avadalible. (Nihawk has too much variants to count due to simplicity)
Visorak: only vohtarak Has one with pearl gold colors
Hordika: incredibly rare green vakama
Sidorak and roodaka: all vahki colors avadalible (roodaka's clothes Doesnt change, but you can give her whatever you want)
Keetongu: black version
Iruini: green variant
Norik: reddish variant
Thok: rare gold variant
Vezon and fenrakk: pearl dark gray vezon with red fennrak
Dekar: silver and red variants
Defilak: gold variant
Hahli mahri: green/lime recolor
Lessovik: bluish/Grey varriant
Takadox: pearl dark gray variant
Mantax: white variant
Carapar: blue variant
Hydraxon: Black variant
Karzahni: not so rare white variant
Toa ignika: insanely rare gold/yellowish variant
Makuta icarax: same as terridax.
Berix: red variant
Toa mata nui: more common silver variant
I'm almost certain there was a light brown sword arm in some set. Maybe a Star Wars droid?
Idea: more "shiny" Toa, but this time using the secondary element colors
These look awesome!
I really enjoyed the idea for this video! I've also been binge watching your other videos and love them. Can't wait to see what other ideas you come up with in the future!
Thank you for watching, plenty more planned :)
1:59 hey actually do you know where i can get one of those orange red swords? It looks absolutely amazing
You've definitely got issues with Pohatu that you probably should see a therapist about
If you want to use the shadow pohatu build, you can make a water, fire, and earth ones too.
One in one hundred chance of getting one, canister is the same, the pieces are different and the manual says if it’s a shiny
Great vid, appreciate you matching classic promo poses with the shinies
12:30
I know I didn't just hear a TFS reference...
Hmmm... The multiverse lore possibilities of an entire Toa Mata team of just one character in each element and/or teams of all six characters of a single element are interesting to say the least.
Actually you could have made a pohatu of earth has you kept the tan parts because several onu and po matoran have black and tan as colors
Actually this is more akin to the Bootleg system from Cassette Beasts. Id love to see all six in all six elements.
Always love these recolour / rebuild videos! Seeing some of these really messed with my brain haha.
12:26 HEY!!!!..........don't say that to pohatu. his sensitive
Sword arms come in light brown in vahkki zadakh
12:43 Of course he is angry, you ruined his chance of being only able to control stone.
meh lego cool but moved to Gundam snice better pricing
never realized that there were different part's for the leg's and arms till now ;w;
Seeing all these sets again brings back some strong nostalgia
I feel like you could get away with some silver weapons
