Kanohi-faces v. Custom Faces

Community
1

So, I’ve been wondering for a while what people though about this specific topic; Custom-faced heads, or Kanohi-faced heads?

Basically, what I’m asking is; what is your opinion?

Do you tend to favor the more noticeable face of a mask for a MOC? Or do you tend to go all out with a blend of System/CCBS/Bionicle and make a head with a custom face?

I prefer Kanohi given the number of options you can choose from. Plus, I’ve never really been experienced with custom faces.

When you can pull them off, I love custom faces.

@Creep Interesting :smiley:

@LelouchViBritannia The point to a custom-faced head is to evoke more character to the MOC.

@Stoax I see. Custom faces is something unique in of itself. It takes a lot of practice. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

@Leoxandar Yus.

(I didn’t mention it, but I prefer custom faced heads.)

Thanks for the opinions guys!

I guess both, but I rely on normal heads

I prefer a kanohi for people and custom for creatures and aliens.

I would say Kanohi rather than Custom Faces.
Mostly because I’m used to seeing MOCS with Kanohi a lot more than Custom Faces.

11

I feel neither are superior, some MOCs need a Kanohi, some MOCs need a face.
Both can look great.

@JMP Makes sense :smile:
@tahtorak I concur. I feel it makes most sense here.
@RECspiriah I get you. I wish there were more custom faces around though :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
@StudentScissors I concur!

I think it depends on what it is. For me personally, if I want a Humanoid, more civilized MOC I would go with a Kanohi/Helmet/Mask. If I want a more Beastial character, Custom all the way.

I don’t really have the parts for custom heads personally. I find them mostly hit or miss. Usually they’re a miss, but when done right, they can be great.

Custom heads to me usually come out as blocky. Kanohi masks, however are better shaped and look nicer.

@SammySpartan Interesting.

@SwagMeister I get you. Makes sense :wink:

18

Really depends on build.
And what Kanohi used.

A brickbuilt Slime ace is where it’s at.

I like both.

@LurkingEhlek Yeah. Some builds can pull off a certain Kanohi well, but other builds might warrant a custom-made head :stuck_out_tongue:
@Tahu_killed_Gali_and_Lewa Yeah man. :thumbsup:
@Droo_Da_Drag0n_CallahXXX Interesting.
