Ta-Koro Minifigure Torso

Hello! The last time I used Lego’s Minifigure Factory, I was able to create a Bionicle-themed torso. I posted about it a few years ago. Bionicle Minifigure Torso

Well, I have been back since then and now I have a new Bionicle-themed minifigure torso to show off! Introducing, the Ta-Koro Torso:

Last time, my sister kindly lent her artistic abilities to the design of the 3 Virtues Symbol. This time, however, I did not have her to help me. I still wanted to make something Bionicle-themed, so I combed through icons and symbols in Bionicle that were simple enough for me to draw on the awkward touch-pad at the Minifigure Factory. I tried a couple of the Metru designs, before deciding that my best bet would be the Ta-Koro symbol!

(Do the other Koros have symbols? As far as I could find, no.)

This is going to become something of a mini tradition every time I go back to the Factory. One day I may be able to build a Bionicle-Emporium in my Lego City!

Impressive work recreating it. Did you have to draw it out, or were you allowed to upload an image of it?

Self minifigure?

Thank you! Yeah, it was hand-drawn. It is a funky touch-pad that you have to use your finger on. They had basic shapes for me to work with, so I started with a triangle, and carefully moulded the little indents at the top and on the left side. The lava spilling out was the hardest part, I had to redo that a lot before I felt good about the curve and equilibrium of the 4 spouts. It helps that the symbol was meant to look like a sort of scribble, haha!
