Loysnuva, self-MOC of Loysnuva, nominated by yours truly after I went up against him in the 2019 Bio-Cup.
Please excuse the dust! It’s been a while since I had enough light to photograph, and he’s been sitting patiently on my shelf until now.
As is going to be the standard going forward from Series 9, he’s also been recreated as close as I can get him to be in Stud.io. Solaris has gotten the same treatment, see his post.
was reading through this and saw mr. evo recommended lorne by jangbricks. genius, i tell you. also, have you done callan yet? feels like you would’ve, but i can’t remember seeing him. i always could just have bad memory, though.
(oh yeah silver man looks good too good stuff)
I wasn’t lucky enough to get the Ultimate Dume set and mask back in the day, so for the first time in a long while, I’ve had to substitute a mask. Still, he was a fun one to figure out.
Hafynx seems to have disappeared from the community, sadly.
Only ever had the smaller set, so that’s what this chibi was based on, though the shield takes more cues from the movie. Jetbug’s head ended up working surprisingly well here!
Something funky happened with the third picture, sorry there.

I don’t agree with the idea honestly. He’s better represented by Artakha if anyone. This MOC spawned a huge argument on Cossy’s discord about that.
It’s probably better to call Mata-Nui the “Self-MOC” of Christian Faber, since he came up with the idea of the robots on islands and the Matoran Universe to begin with. According to MSEP, Faber’s diagnosis and treatment for cancer may have been the original inspiration for the Bionicle storyline, with Makuta representing that within Mata-Nui’s body.
Although Mata-Nui, per this evidence, does indeed seem to be the representation of Faber, if we go with saying he’s actually Greg’s self-MOC, then that would shed a whole new light on Tren Krom’s dialogue, LoL.
Would that make Bob Thompson be Karzahni, with the two of them locked in combat over who Miramax will let decide which one of the Toa Metru go bad in Web of Shadows?
My Stud.io chibis from this project are now on my Bricklink Studio Gallery!
Work continues on reverse-engineering older ones but new ones will be added as they come to be.
Yo, this is excellent. A little simple in certain areas, but really captures the feel and appearance of the original MOC. Are those claws on the head pressured in?
