Mahi and Shepherd



Hi everyone!

While not a set from 2001, my next entry in my BIONICLE 2001 revamp series is taken from the MNOG with a Mahi (then known as Maha) and its shepherd, based on one of the several nameless Po-Matoran shown in the game.

I won’t pretend this model is incredibly innovative in any way, but I do like how it came together. I was inspired to build the Mahi when I happened upon a seller offering four of those small, tan CCBS shells at a reasonable price, and the rest of the goat came together quickly. I added in a bit of silver and grey to the tan and dark bluish grey to give it more of an earthen, mountain goat coloring scheme.

The shepherd, (based on this guy: https://biosector01.com/w/images/bs01/a/a2/MNOA_Koli_Athlete.svg) was very fun to build, and I really like how he looks. He’s probably my favorite Matoran design I’ve done thus far after my take on Jaller. Yes, there are some third-party bricks used.

Hope you like them! Just be careful if investing in Mahi, the market has really bottomed out.

@Sonus After the Beach Chant, the Po-Koro music is my favorite.

Quite the clever parts selection to represent the physically impossible Mahi. Did you get the entire Battle Droid for that ball joint, or have you been busy on Bricklink? :smirk:

@Ghid Thankfully, Bricklink came to my rescue on that!
