Burning Heart Tahu

Yup. Definitely Astorix.

@Tobin-Bartram & @Leoxander thanks!

NINJAG- Oh, wait, nevermind…

Something about this is extremely satisfying, but I can’t pinpoint one specific aspect that makes the MOC. That means pretty much everything is good.

The only thing that looks off to me is the large Ekimu armor parts on the thighs, but everything else is really, really good.

Congrats, this is official google canon. This image of him is the 4th image result. Beautiful design and I like the ninja-ja-ja weapons and leg shurikens.

Whoa. I think it jumped to #1. Do you mean the result if I search for ‘burning heart tahu’?

If you look up 90’s Tahu.

I’m looking up google and I see no relevant of a “ninja phase.”


Anywho, the torso does give a heart shape very well however the gold armor placement does stick out abit.

Or manly fire chesthair Tahu.

Reminds me of that one scene where Gaston showed of his chest hair…cause thats how the red armor shell placement in the torso area looks like, an unbuttoned ■■■■■.

…That’s actually really accurate. Now I can’t unsee Tahu with chest hair.

Shapeways printed stuff is like fan mods. Not official, but they give you heck of a lot of options.

“No-one fights like Tahu
Sets fires a’light like Tahu
Delivers his blows very swift like Tahu” :stuck_out_tongue:

I cannot unsee the chest flame/hair thing now. Thanks for that.

great… Tahu has been watching Naruto.
Soon he will be running like them and saying “Believe It” all the time

I enjoy how this is made
but I feel like the katana’s hilt should be a bit shorter
since it seems more like a the weapon a samurai would use than a ninja

also that upper torso
he must’ve been watching Fist of the North Star as well

but if you want to make it more like a ninja
try…

  • Making him more skinnier so that he would be more flexiable
  • Use a weapon a ninja would use i.e Sai, Nunchaku, Bo staff
    you can keep the katana, just tone it down a bit
  • Give him some ninja equipment: Shuriken, Rope Darts (those are the two bits of Ninja equipment that come to mind)
  • Add more black, red is not good for Tahu if he is having a “Ninja Phase”, tone down the red and gold, and make black stand out a bit more

@TeslaEffect Exactly! And considering Lego cancelled the line, these custom parts are all we’re going to get for Bionicle. At least we can take solace in the fact that they were created by true fans of the line.

@Whaddon Good feedback! But remember, this is 90’s ninja we’re talking about. So he’s supposed to look more like this kind of ninja:
