Hello fellow compatriots to yet another build! Today we will be taking a look at the Rahkshi of Heat Vision, also known as the Rahkshi from Bionicle Stars. But fully revamped! Even if some may argue her to be called Lolrahk. With this build I wanted to blend the style of the films with the sets we have gotten of the rahkshi over the years. While still making it feel like a set you would see for retail if it did come out the same time as the stars line.
Furthermore it has a play feature akin to the og sets, where by twisting a knob in its back it can move its shoulders back and forth for dynamic swinging staff action. Upon twisting not only does the the shoulders move but so too does the torso, allowing it to do the same stabbing action into the ground like in the original 2003 promo cd roms!
Not only that but I wanted to give this rahkshi a unique staff that better matches its abilities. Not only can she fire blasts from her eyes but so too can her staff fire heat blasts to roast her enemies to a crisp.
Correct-O! I am unable to send any gifs showcasing the feature due to how high res most of my imagery is these days but I described how it works in the post.
However if you want to see it in action, feel free to click on the video that I have linked in the post here
This is actually perfect timing. After purchasing a cheap lot containing a trio All-Star figures, I have been in search of ideas for improvements.
In my particular case, I am currently attempting to “beef-up” a Piraka and Takanuva. I adore the leg design, and may incorporate it into them both, though for the Piraka I am looking to maintain an arched back sort of design.
I am glad you like the build! I would love to see your take on the stars sometime, and speaking of, I did do my own take on Stars Piraka in the past. Perhaps you can take some inspiration with the build as I have been trying to recreate that same arch as the original:
