Hah. I buy my own sets with my own cash. Always have.
Im not directly talking about you, but the general image of a kid that has no money for its own.

They are at least unique molds, all be it inspired by 2003 and 2004 Bionicle sets.
At least this company is attempting to be somewhat original, being “inspired by the real sets” instead of being simply plastered copies. That actually turns their sets into something unique
I also see that they tried making the blue one look feminine, with the thigh armor
I would love to have these so much
I saw someone make a Bionicle female moc with pieces of that blue one, aint all that bad.
Looks like Tom’s trying to be hip with the kids.
I saw these hero factory knock offs at Five Below called “Bot Factory” I don’t know if they’re good quality knock offs I can use for mocs or not because I didn’t buy any of them. But here’s a picture of one:
I kind of want to buy one to see how bad it is.
Lol. It’s lacking a Hero Core.
I think I saw a MOC where someone used the blue one’s mask for Gaaki Hagah’s mask
Here it is. Its so awesome.

Hmm… I have to say. The effects and cgi on the knockoffs from “DECOOL” (Knock-off company) are better than lego in some ways. Also, I found this image
. it seems to also be made by DECOOL.“Look! It’s Keetongu!! NOT!!!”
-Matau, Bionicle III
A buncha knockoffs found on VK Bionicle
Phantoka Metus?
Limited edition green gold good guy
Oh god, that store is packed with almost-identical-knockoff sets! That’s scary.
What’s interesting is that Turaga Iruini set…
This particular brand of knockoffs seem to copy the sets 100% except for the logo. It’s strange that they seemingly managed some form of originality with that set. Hell, they pretty much nailed it with the mask, staff, and spinner, so it is clearly meant to be a mini Iruini character and not some scrubby MOC-up. Knowing that knockoff brands often get their sets designed by seeing leaks, I wonder if that Turaga Iruini was meant to be a set from Lego but got cut off at the last minute…it’s got some legit design choices that Lego could’ve made themselves like a modified Balta torso, like it was meant to be released alongside the original Gold Good Guy
