Hand Preferences in Bionicle

95% of my mocs are left-handed which means they have a hard time using scissors, power saws, and kitchen knives. They also smudge their hands whenever writing letters.

Not for me.

I write with my hand off of the paper, use my right hand for scissors (because that’s the hand the scissors were made to be wielded with), and have no problems using kitchen knives. (Although I do have a slight fear of power saws, and as such have yet to use them)

Well typically when you hold a gun, you hold it in your dominant hand and look at that kopaka has a gun in his right hand and his DEFENSIVE attack blocking weapon the other.

Yea, but when you have two offensive weapons, especially the sword and the gun, it gets fuzzy. I would always hold both a sword and a gun in my right hand, but considering the weight of a sword and that it needs to be swung powerfully and accurately, I would chose the sword over the gun being in my right hand.

And I’m right handed.

But Kopaka last year used his main weapon, his spear, in his right hand, and now chooses to wield a similar weapon in his left.

Ambidextrous is the only logical explanation considering that it could really go both ways.

Or because he’s amnesic, he could just be trying both in order to figure out which handedness he is.

TBH, a sword is typically harder to use. Swords happen to be extremely large, and cumbersome for that matter, so two-handedness is most appropriate for a larger weapon.

I’ve always preferred weapons to be in the right hand of the figure, obviously, because I am right hand dominant.
I remember back in the day with the old Knights Kingdom figures who would nearly always have their sword in the left hand and their shield in the right, I would switch them around because it felt weird to me otherwise.

I just prefer right hand for main weapon and left hand for secondary weapon (if any).

I just realized the other day that the Kopaka comic on Lego.com further complicates the matter.

He holds the sword left handed in one panel, and then right handed in the next.

I like to believe that everyone is ambidextrous, cause hand preference should not interfere with awesome posing.

I mean, they are not humans, so they may not have such problems.
