Eljay's Recap Review: 8978 Skrall

[@Official_Anonymous]

I love how in the movie he's voiced by the same guy who voices Commander Cody, Squilliam, Bubble Bass, and Perry the Platypus!

[@DanielAyy]

Dee Bradley Baker?

[@Official_Anonymous]

@@DanielAyy Yeah

[@DanielAyy]

@@Official_Anonymous Cool, he really gets around.

[@GhabulousGhoti]

Ah, the only Glatorian I got. This set was quite fun to pose, and the shield was very intricate and interesting.

[@bioskrall9742]

Ah ye. The first of the Glatorian wave I acquired back in 2009. Heck, I even bought him a second time because of how different he was from the other sets. Only thing I never liked was how his massive shoulder blades collided when getting him into dynamic poses but was still a blast to play with...before the inevitable cracking of those joints.

[@fullmetalguy8357]

Definitely one of my favourites out of the Glatorian and possibly the only one of my 08/09 sets that still has most joint pieces intact, despite MOCing with them a few times.

[@cafuneandchill]

Open joint on the launcher contraption is supposed to be an aim, I guess.

[@FiddaDraws]

I think you forgot to say the glatorian neck was a new piece

[@chase1146]

"looks kinda like iron man" XD i love that, i remeber when i was a kid having these come out and people saying that

[@thebag3429]

It truly a fine day when there's two recap reviews

[@thebag3429]

Ohh wait not two . Three !

[@tking1kong439]

if you put on the skrall helmet backwards, you can make a nice elvis presley

[@seancreegan6447]

I'm soooo happy you are finally reviewing the 2009 sets, this was my first year where I was really into bionicle.

[@LeoxandarMagnus]

I cringe with every squeak as I imagine the joints snapping.

[@fernystein9516]

Cringe is not the right term i think

[@mrhatsy]

@@fernystein9516 nah it’s the actual definition of cringe, rather than the internetified version we’re all used to

[@gruntkiller123]

oh eljay, you are probably the only person on earth or bara magna to have a hard time trying to fire a thornax launcher... :p

[@ninjanicktf9768]

Why is he holding the sky from the last Journey to one poster?

[@mavezignikari3353]

Wait... does anyone else see that? Is there a skrall shield hidden in the video?

[@betapi1726]

No, that's the island of mata nui

[@TheTTVChannel]

Yes, first, etc etc. - Eljay

[@elijahtrinidad8669]

The TTV Channel Eljay: Ill see you next week.... One hour later

[@JiJ1511]

Bout time Eljay!!!! What took you so long?

[@EljayJohnsen]

You'll see.

[@JiJ1511]

wat?

[@earllawrenced.marquez1223]

so in other words it is a piraka/inika build in a form of a somewhat of a barraki build

[@JiJ1511]

If only I had skrall........I love this dude's build. I am a fan of the lanky-look. If only I had the right pieces to do what Skrall dud. I don't even.

[@hazbaska1]

did anyone ever notice that the face of this Skrall is hella similar to the one first used to depict Makuta? i think even moreso to the proportionality of the Dume head piece after he removes that mask.

[@robinthedragonhunter64]

Neat

[@ArtistiqueMusic]

wait what! 2 recaps in one hour?? what is this madness?

[@TheTTVChannel]

Oh, the madness has only just begun... - Eljay

[@jackfrost4686]

Oh boy, so this is what you meant by "weird release schedule"

[@WalkTheGrunch]

This is madness? THIS IS (sphersus) MAGNA

[@tek5842]

actually 3 reviews in a day X)

[@BigLadStudios]

Recaps are almost over, after 2009 we have 2010. All 6 sets... All... Av-Matoran builds.

[@Bunbiichuffn]

Thought the Skrall looked the part. Menacing and... pointy all over. Was bothered by the shoulder-swords. Kept clashing together when I posed mine, but they do look pretty cool, and give the Skrall a very unique look. Not my favorite of the Glatorian bunch but not the worst

[@ThrillaWhale]

Weirdly placed shoulder decoration would be a problem for a couple of these guys. Skrall, Malum, and at least one other i’m forgetting. Nice to look at, but really annoying when posing the arms.

[@Unkle_Genny]

Poor Gresh. Too bad his shield also can't be seen in the skies of Okoto.

[@WarBuilder5426]

Considering as there aren't many Bionicle sets left, especially after 2009, what are you going to cover next?

[@theBolderBoulder]

I really want this set after getting a closer look at it. BrickLink, eBay, here I come!

[@section4344]

Gresh, shut up, your shield is great.

[@colinroberts2060]

This guy was my third of the initial Glatorian.

[@deanthe3684]

I want dis guy.🙁 I want dis guy!☹️ He even has a shield that is a cool piece that I used to think is just a saw blade with printing on it but it's actually not.😧 I would make a CCBS version like I did with the stars one and Tuma. (is that how you spell it?)

[@Mesanyx]

TWO RECAPS IN A ROW?! Is this dream?!

[@ninjanicktf9768]

You must have not seen the third one.

[@whywhywhhyy2650]

personly my bionicles came from a bin when was like 4 that my mom got me for some reason i still make bionicles to this day :]

[@vanuvontravia7921]

2:21 Ya alright Eljay?

[@Blue-Rain]

😂

[@vulcan5921]

It took you guys long enough to do 2008 thank you (2007-2008 was my year of when I was into bionicle) lol

[@EljayJohnsen]

I did 2008 a while ago. This is 2009, which I needed a while to prepare for.

[@vulcan5921]

TTV Eljay thanks for tell me I was typing to fast and put 2008 thanks for the reply keep up the great work you guys

[@toatastico]

this is one of my favorite glatorians.

[@TheBrickDrik]

Why did LEGO actually change the joints? I understand that they wanted a smoother look, but shouldn't they have noticed before production that the new joints could break too easily?

[@RarEcringE]

TheBrickDrik its cheaper

[@HueyHolmes]

there were 2 from this series that were some of my first -KMA

[@sanokal]

And thus began the trend of the winter of 2009 of the Thornax trolling the bejebaz out of Eljay.

[@samishes1434]

this peace was also in hero factory

[@lokekennee8850]

They should've used the pin connecting the shield for and replace the blue pins on Vorox

[@Celemimphar]

That week sure went by fast!

[@darknova3529]

Aw I expected a skrall shield in the cloud joke for the intro

[@TobyEchozap]

so many recaps, so little time. well great review.

[@madhatten00]

i dont get why didnt they give a proper shield like that to gresh instead of that weird splitting one that doesnt actually close up properly to be a good shield

[@CursedBrainJuice]

Just noticed, don't know why, your camera has a really short depth of field.

[@mattp8026]

2009 was my favorite year in G1.

[@tamaru5769]

2006 for me

[@daimonicreality1590]

That’s kind of a hot pick lol

[@ollienix3285]

Looking forward to Stronius...because I'm a huge fan of the freaking geek and if you don't know who he is his channels name is Emgo316 and please do check him out

[@Curogane]

I think it would be nice if you guys silently added a button to skip the disclaimers, both on Recap Reviews and MOC spotlight, that way those who pay atenttion can skip them and those that don't and need the disclaimers won't. keep on the good work guys =)

[@deanthe3684]
