Wow, these are pretty impressive for the given scale. The heads are certainly a weak point, but I’m not sure how you could do any better without a custom build for each head. One nice thing about the current head build is that you could swap out a single printed piece to change which mask the Toa is wearing… well, with the exception of the Akaku, I guess.
Speaking of which, the way you did the Akaku is pretty clever. I think it might look a bit better if some of the eye-scope studs were the hollow type, though.
In terms of practical playability, it bothers me that you can’t really move their arms back and forth that much, but I’m not sure how one would go about fixing that. And I suppose the working elbows make up for it.
Yeah exactly that’s a bit of my problem with them. I like to call them the “Block-heads of Voodoo island”. I’d need some kind of specialized mask-piece to make them look right.
Yeah someone told me that on Twitter too and I agree, I don’t know why I didn’t use that one in the first place
The only Toa that really work here are Lewa and maybe Kopaka. All the rest, with their centered mask prints and bizarre proportions… Eugh. It would probably help to have the print on the curved piece rather than the flat one, for some of them at least.
sounds like a good idea, wnated to do something from Chima sooner or later anyway
I probably could, there are already a lot of mini falcons out there and 15 pieces seems a bit small for a weekly build. If you want me to I can build one just for fun.
I never watched infinity train, so I just googled him and hmmm… with his very round shape he’d either be an extremely simple build or a very complex one. Not sure if I’ll be able to make a weekly build of him, but I’ll try to look into it.
I’m also once again at a point where I have a lot of requests and not a lot more open spots for weekly builds in 2020, so as always, I can’t promise which ones will happen.

Built the Mini Millennium Falcon with 15 pieces! Took some inspiration from some of the advent calender builds, but 15 pieces really isn’t a lot, most of them have more.
So here it is:
Came up in the live-chat in a Nak and Jay episode: We were robbed of Mini-Keetongu in the 2005 system sets, so I decided to build one on my own.
All pieces exist in those colors and the Whirling Shields function works.
