MOD NOTICE: Since the summer skull villains are starting to hit stores, feel free to post any modifications you may have made in this topic. Also, it’d be great if you could post pics of your modded sets. It’s much clearer then text. Thanks everyone!

My Kopaka and Pohatu are left handed, and Lewa’s shoulders are in the wrong spot by accident, but that prevents the head problems. I don’t think i modded Tahu at all. In the future, i plan to replace Kopaka’s weapon setup because neither the shield or the spear work for me.

Recently, I bought the Mask Maker VS Skull Grinder set.
I fixed a few things.
- Skull Grinder’s Mask Stealer Staff Arm.
I just watched JANGBRICK’s video.
I also took off Ekimu’s third gear (it really isn’t necessary), and used it as one of the gears for Grinder’s right arm.

Ekimu’s Eyes
Before, Ekimu had a yellow brain-stalk, when originally he should have blue.
So I bought Nilkuu the Protector of Stone, who should have had a yellow brain-stalk, and just switched the brain-stalks. -
Ekimu’s Hammer of Power
When I saw how small Ekimu’s Hammer of Power was before I bought it, I had to admit I was a bit disappointed.
So I planned ahead.
Using an extra T-Bar piece (seen above on Step 2), I replaced the other T-Bar piece (seen below on Step 2) with the first T-Bar piece.
This made it so I could insert whatever long-rod piece to make the Hammer taller in comparison to Ekimu.
Here’s a picture of the result.
All in all, it was a worth-while improvement.
Heck it was so cool, that while my brother and I were battling with Ekimu and Skull Grinder, Ekimu actually knocked the Skull Mask/Mask of Creation off Skull Grinder’s face because it was the right size!!
It Was Awesome!
@Nopasino
Even though you are right about the head articulation, I am just satisfied with it and have no real reason to change it.
I have a feeling though that sets in the future will have smaller gear-boxes which can be added to the Protectors.
I’m not 100% sure, but I’m still about… mmm 60% convinced it will happen soon.

The animation variants don’t correlate to how a set is supposed to be built.
I doubt that the whole Bionicle set design team switched the eye stalks by accident and never noticed.
They likely made their eyes a different colour to make their eyes stand out more from their other trans parts.
But hey, it’s your set, you can do what you want with it

Well, according to the latest animations, Ekimu has a yellow brain-stalk.
But in ‘The Legend’ and in the comic of the Mask Maker VS Skull Grinder set, he has a blue brain-stalk.
Also, the Mask of Creation looks much better if it has blue eyes IMO.
Oh yeah, and the PoS has a yellow brain-stalk in the animations.

I did a lot of the same mods. (Ekimu and Kulta actually came with some spare gears in addition to the unecessary one on Ekimu, so if the friction’s still a little loose, you can add those to Kulta.)

Do you like the Hammer of Power MOD I did?
Are the instructions on how to build it clear?
I get what you were going for, but I don’t think it’s quite necessary. that may change though

And the eyes?
I’m still confused as to why LEGO changed the color of the brain-stalks of Ekimu and Nilkuu.
yeah.

I did this to Kulta’s staff-side armpit. Works pretty well.

To the person who suggested putting the small Technic piece behind the eyestalk to stop it flipping, thanks so much! I have no idea why the head doesn’t have a second pin to stop it from moving.

I made a slight modification to pohatu’s gearbox so both of his arms use the gearfunction instead of just 1
Well, I took one look at the way the instructions said to build Skull Slicer’s Mask grabber, with the chain inside the claw, and I said “Well, that’s dumb.” So I flipped the droid body around.

I hated skull slicer’s mask grabbing chain so much that I took it off of him because it gets stuck when you use the gear function
