The Mata Nui Cow, Dikapi, Kirikori Nui, and Ranama are Rahi that were posted on an old Fan website from 2001 called The Sands of Mata Nui by Daniel Lipkowitz a LEGO employee Before they were made canon by the lego club magazine.
Does anyone have any memories of this website?
Has anyone tried to build any of this Rahi?
What do you think of the other Rahi hosted on this website?
Those mocs look pretty good
Yeah they got that 2001 atmosphere
Nice find! Cool Rahi builds and the site that certified early 2000s aesthetic.
Oh boy there’s custom lore:
And the man cast his eyes down
and beseeched the Toa:
“How shall I harvest the ember-fruit?”
Quoth the Great Tahu:
“Look behind ye, for of thy steps
a new man shall be born…”
This is brilliant
Edit: Yo I love these rahi, Pakipaki has a neat design
Yeah the Pakipaki feels like it is in the family of the Kahu (nui-jaga combiner)
and it has a cool beak using that pakari.
that is the most 2001 website i have ever and will ever see
I am glad it is still up to this day
I love older websites like this, so this is definitely a neat find.
wow these have great build, neat find
I found this when I was looking for futher information about the Mata Nui Cow or Mukau (a pun on “Moo-Cow”) in the trivia area of biosector01
Never heard of it. But the Rahi MOCs look superb for their time and piecepool.
The Mokonui and the Wehirua are fantastic, definitely my favorites. I’ll have to try building these sometime.
