People Building Bionicle Sets Incorrectly

Matoro had a white clip so I suggest it is almost certainly Kongu Inika’s launcher

I think a lot of these would fit better in the On Ebay Today topic seeing as they all seem to be taken from online marketplace listings

I think this one’s moreso for a set having mostly the correct parts but assembled erroneously?

I could see the other ones as being simple piece swap for missing parts, but this is a step beyond that.

This is from a june 2006 BZPower article, a Toa Inika display at Legoland California. Those forearms are painful

I posted this exact image to “posing Bionicle sets weirdly” before this topic got revived

Still as cursed as ever

even the black staff spinny thingy pieces don’t match :skull: one on the left is the old style and the right one is the new style

Found an old site with Bela sets. Yes, they’re bootlegs, but they still count.

Now I actually like that bootleg Toa. The normal green looks pretty good!

Just went back to the page. There’s a number of things I didn’t notice before.

Arms are flipped and the chest armor sits too high

That’s not how Vahki shoulders work :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

That’s not how you attach the spine to the arms, I don’t think you can use the launcher like that, and… What’s the random Zamor doing on the back of his head? Not to mention the feet.

Just the hips, no big deal.

I love it when people use too short axles for Inika necks. Makes them look so silly.

(Also the thigh armor on this specific picture)

He’s just trying not to hit his head on Matoran-sized doorways

Sounds like a Christmas slasher film
