Using RARE MISPRINT Bionicle Masks To Build LEGO MOCs

It's truly a delight to look at rare and uniquely coloured Bionicle masks. Join me as we take a look at all these pretty misprints. And we'll see how AFOLs have used them in their own LEGO creations!

You can't convince me these aren't just things employees make because they can. Either just before full production for the set or right before the molds are about to go into storage, they just start combining colors and see what pops out. Obviously there are tests, and I imagine a number of them are destroyed, but may, just maybe, some employees walk out with some of them, but others are just so weird that they can't not just be employees screwing around at the last second.

i think its entirely possible, in the case of Archinto (Roa McToa) I’ve heard her father used to work for Lego and shes been known to use prototype pieces in the past (one of her mocs uses flat silver g2 pohatu boomerangs for example)

[@n2727bsj]

i think alot of them are tests to see how the colors merge together before mass production

[@mzurran1003]

when you finish molding a run, it is common to purge the mold with either clear plastic or the next color you are using, so most likely these are purges rather than actual misprints.

[@purplehaze2358]

The fact that there's an actual mask with the color of Carapar's armor in circulation, and I don't have it, is so deeply upsetting to me.

[@huemanatee1452]

Its amazing how the icy texture on those masks can also read as crystaline rock or leafy blades depending on the color context.

[@Jay_A_Comenter]

It’s stuff like this that makes me want to have bionicle parts

[@frostburn3730]

Oh wow, that purple Gelu mask is gorgeuos!

[@animatorxstudios100]

that marbled miru looks so amazing!! and those other strakk masks look neat to, I wish we could see those on some mocs.

[@Gurbur]

I'm lucky enough to have the 5-holed Kraahkan and a blue Matatu.

[@oddvar4578]

1:19 now I want to build a pre-pit Carapar with that mask 🥲

[@user-ps9lw6qy5y]

good content good mocs what else could I ask for

[@matteogalbusera1149]

The only misprinted mask i have is a blue colored Breeze helmet, and i still haven't figure it out on how to use it😅

[@BenCossyOfficial]

A blue Breez mask is sick!

[@matteogalbusera1149]

@@BenCossyOfficial any idea for i should use it?

[@Khoose22804]

I have a white surge mask from breakout I think

[@BenCossyOfficial]

@@Khoose22804 Lol I would pay good money for that haha

[@BenCossyOfficial]

@@matteogalbusera1149 Honestly just a blue version of Breez would be sick

[@user-qg1mw5tz1q]

such a shame thath these are really reare the amount of moc potential with these would be insane.

[@TemporalsonToys]

I’ve got the white ruru from collection of mask shown. I really need to use it some point.

[@paperwait4617]

How would you go about trying to buy a misprint? Or is it unlikely someone would sell one?

[@drowned2204]

Hey Ben, at 6:21, how is that Cragger jaw piece attached? I've seen Hero Factory Invasion From Below jaw pieces being used as such as well, but I can't seem to find an example anywhere (though I'll admit, I didn't really spend much time on it)

[@krekcabnow2910]

Yeah I’d you don’t put the mis matched colors directly next to eachother you can do a little slight of hand so to speak

[@FlamesReviewsAndMocs]

if the Lewa phantoka mask was the same, I would've them all! sorry, I juts like halo. a lot.
