No Kopaka makes me sad :cry:

He (or even any other Toa for that matter) deserves more love

Some scrapped models for the gwp. That Takanuva would have been awesome.

I think this bit from the article is interesting:

Obviously this isnā€™t a confirmation that there will be more, but itā€™s nice to see that they were at least considering the possibility, even if itā€™s only from the perspective of making it easier for fans to make other characters.

Also, this arm design is super cool:

The double-jointed elbow would be great for poseability.

Waiittttā€¦. They used the HF connector there. I thought they changed the design last year.

The designer probably still had some lying around.

I think we wouldā€™ve enjoyed a good system Takanuva more than a slightly less good Takua and Tahu but beggars canā€™t be choosers
Like i said, iā€™m just happy weā€™re getting a new Bionicle set at all

that takanuva would have been amazing, but I think it might work better to keep to a moc/set prototype area personally. I do really like those toa mata and almost might prefer them to tahu and takua if it werent for the fact that those could almost certainly be built with parts that can already be tracked down without needing any recolors or prints. pretty cool to see their alternate ideas though!

Those concepts looks awesome, but I slightly prefer the official one
Canā€™t wait to get it

Are we going to do some sort of community contest to build every set in G4 style?

FYI; According to Duckbricks, you can get the Tahu by spending $100 on any theme, not just a select few unlicensed themes. Nothingā€™s confirmed yet, however.

(He mentions this at 10:24 and 21:57)

These models look really neat ā€“ unused concepts always intrigue me

I remember going to an actual Lego store a few years back. Looking around and not really seeing anything that spoke to me as a bionicle fan. Except for maybe one ninja go dragon set that looked cool. But when I saw the price was over 100 dollars I said forget it. But now with this new bionicle set I can justify spending that kind of money finally.

My biggest issue with the GWP has always been the head, so I replaced the existing head with the one from the prototype Takanuva model above:

I think this matches the proportions of the original far better, and is less blocky.

(I also made his sword a solid colour, because no iteration of Tahu since the original has properly portrayed his sword as a flame-shaped piece of metal)
