Ninjago City Gardens uses this interesting upside down baby harness technique to emulate an exo-force robot head. Here’s a side-by-side comparison.

Can’t remember if I’ve asked this before, but does anyone have advice for custom heads for Hordika masks? specifically the Rau.

Where does the gardens do that?

It was used for this minifigure if I’m not mistaken
Only custom head that I could find was this

Heads isn’t my thing, but a few of the different Kanohi might work.

Thanks for the reply! But you are a little late.
Thanks for the reply anyway and I would love some feedback!

Does anyone have a custom upper leg design that can fit a CCBS size 5 shell and is compatible with G1 lower legs, such as the Rahkshi and the Vahki leg?

I got the 2021 x-wing playset at best buy. This set contains four extremely versatile new cylinder bricks that are three ldu in diameter. This new cylinder seems to be replacing the 1999 x-wing cylinder brick.
LEGO made a similar element in Space Shuttle Discovery in 2003 that’s four ldu in diameter.
This element is compatible with several other three ldu diameter wheel and cylindrical elements. Here are a few combinations.
This cylinder is excellent and much like the 1x1 brick with axle hole and the 1x3 half length inverted arch brick, and the “Brick, Modified 2 x 2 x 1 1/3 with Curved Top” it makes we wonder why it took so long for the company to finally make these since they would have had so many applications in previous sets. Trafalgar Square, for instance, would have benefited from the 3x3x2 cylinder. But anyway, it’s nice to have these, but it may be decades before these new parts come in more colors.

there can never be enough cylinder pieces
I mean those sci-fi barrels and crates aren’t going to build themselves!

Anyone??
It all depends on how big the upper peg you need is. If you need one the same size as the metru thighs just use one of those ccbs bones with two socket ends and fill the back with a rubber bamd and another piece or something like that. If you need a longer one then i don’t have ideas at the moment
Basically a double socket limb? If it must be custom, the most straightforward way is to have two sockets with top axle holes and a technic ball between them. It’ll be the equivalent to a 7L double socket like what 2006 onward uses. You could also play around with purely bar connections through those little bar holes in the ccbs shells.

for a less stressing connection you can also slide the pinholes out of the middle piece a bit to make room for the ball connector. Still technically illegal but its stresses the pieces significantly less and has minimal effect on the length of the limb.
Does anyone know how to build a torso with both waist articulation and shoulder articulation? I’m looking for something that is the size of a toa inika body.

vahki waists and the really short hf bones are where it’s at
Something along these lines perhaps? This is the torso design I’ve used the most over the years, give or take some variation in the waist, shoulders and the length of the bones.
The exact mounting point for the neck isn’t set in stone either, but you do need to make sure you have something with a recessed axle hole beneath the bend (#5 bend btw). That green part wouldn’t fit if it was flipped the other way up.

The picture isn’t working for me
It’s working just fine for me. Hmm…

Alright, thanks! I’m going to try to build it now.
Also, is it okay if I use this design (or a modified version) for a canon contest entry? I’ll be sure to credit you.
