Personally, it disturbs me.
I mean, where’s the location of this guy’s STOMACH?!

Although it is still cool…

I don’t think the bottom one is a mouth. Look, It just stops past the teeth.

So Summer Sets are going to be released earlier this year? I wonder if they’re still coming in Italy in September or July/August :o

Pretty much, though with the mouth higher up on the body. It just looks more creepy and disturbing that way. Two mouths also help to demonstrate the beast-like nature of just being hungry and predatory.

I always viewed it as ‘anything that is inside Venom is slowly devoured’. The mouth would swallow or bite you, holding you there until devoured by the symbiote. Kind of like a Venus flytrap :stuck_out_tongue:

It has a mouth, and what appears to be additional teeth on the sides of that mouth. It was likely some creature that Umarak killed, though given Umarak is getting mutated into his Destroyer form, i like the idea that it could mutate the dead creature that Umarak is wearing - causing it to merge with him and become alive. Just gives an additional aspect to the whole beast-like nature. It would have also helped with the resemblances between his Hunter and Destroyer forms.

Or it is his own mouth, seeing as he is basically an Elemental Creature himself. I’d also say the pelt and antlers are his own.

Perhaps Umarak was originally entirely deer, and over time shape shifted to a humanoid to become a better hunter.

It makes sense for UtD to lose the mouth because the MoCo is making him more mask-wearing humanoid and less Elemental Creature.

THE ELUSIVE RUSSIAN POLYBAG IS MINE AT LAST


It was well worth the hassle :3

nice and smooth, with some stiffness.
Obviously, doesn’t really drape itself over his arm the way a real cape would.

I do, and that’s right, I did get it for the cape :wink:

The Jelly is real
what is the quality of the cape?

I can see it being a good way to get Ekimu’s mask if you haven’t got the golden one yet. Yet if you do have Ekimu’s mask you are just getting it for the cape…

Hopefully we get more than just that polybag this year, was hoping for some more masks or cool stuff.

I foresee poly bags for the green-goo-corrupted masks of water, stone, and air.

I think I know the answer to the maze thing. Like with the Toa not being able to just fly over it.

I think the actual maze itself is contained in the solid parts, not the open parts.

If this has been answered before you can tell me.

O rly? :wink:

As much as we’d like to get a full set of Summer masks, it didn’t happen last year so I don’t hold out much hope for it happening this year… :confused:

I just thought of something…

So in 2016 the trans-neon yellow is meant to represent the goo, right? (At least, that’s why all of the Toa have blue eyes). Then why does Ekimu have yellow eyes still?

In a shot where Umarak is shown escaping the maze through the top, you can see that aside from the open portion that he jumped out of, the rest of the maze is completely sealed from above.
