This is the terrifying humanoid lizard the kids in us saw all those years ago. What a reimagining. Absolutely fckin gorgeous.

[@MitchBuilds]

Exactly what I was going for, thanks :)

[@joshrobinson2409]

Lizard? The rakshi look nothing like lizards, nor are they lizards.

[@Skinless-chan]

I didn’t imagine them that way either, but it’s not that big of a stretch. The shape of the head/back plate and the spines do look pretty lizardy. And the way their shoulders move when you turn the gear is literally how lizards’ legs work.

[@thelaughable37]

@@joshrobinson2409 I thought they looked like lizards. I mean It's a fantasy thing- Does it really matter if people say they look like Lizards ooorr?

[@chunkystumps]

Rahkshi was PEAK Bionicle for me. The Rahkshi-Toa fights on the basement playroom carpet were LEGENDARY.

[@carottefondeurenfer]

Yeah I still have my red Rakshi somewhere, was an absolute blast when I was a kid

[@thrillcollectors]

Truly. I was thinking maybe it’s just nostalgia but honestly I have nostalgia for all those old BIONICLEs, but the Rahkshi were just so well designed. The lizard/snake-like body, the predator split jaws on the mouth, the spikes on the spine, the spear as a weapon… it’s pure gold. SO iconic.

[@BackflipBrickfilms]

Honestly, if Bionicle came back, your mix of bionicle and "normal" parts is how I'd want it. The pure Technic/Constraction designs of official bionicles always feel unfinished because there's inevitably holes that you don't use. The System bits cover it up very well!

[@MitchBuilds]

Cheers, yeah I find the mix to be really fun

[@frank_calvert]

only issue is that it would cost a lot to make sets like that

[@BackflipBrickfilms]

@@frank_calvert It would cost a lot to make any set, no? They already make both technic and system sets, just put pieces from both in one box.

[@ilikevideogames4331]

​@@BackflipBrickfilms I think they're saying that these take a lot more pieces to make than "normal" bionicles and would cost a lot due to the very high piece count.

[@BackflipBrickfilms]

@@ilikevideogames4331 Fair point.

[@clblowe]

Idc if the sets were multiple hundreds of dollars; if Lego put out throwback bionicle sets with this level of detail, creativity, and quality, I’d buy every single one of them.

[@adtrlthegamer7449]

You and me both!

[@unorthodoxbox]

I wish they’d do like advance statues of Bionicle figures. Best way I can explain this is you have the toy version. It can take a beating. The statue version is a bit more delicate and isn't a toy but has way more detail, way more complex and made for older more experienced Lego and technic crowds.

[@adtrlthegamer7449]

@@unorthodoxbox Like Bionicle figures made for collectors? IF yes, I would love that.

[@unorthodoxbox]

@@adtrlthegamer7449 Yeah. Bionicles that are more detailed and intricate and made for collectors. I'm imaginging a more detailed Takanuva from the first film and can see an eye watering price tag but it'd look so good.

[@Adventist1997]

I love Lego, but Bionicles will always be their best product in my eyes. I don’t have many originals anymore, because I modified them like this guy did. There were many casualties in the process of remodeling the few survivors…😂

[@zhholub6237]

I agree!

[@BootlegGremlin]

To be absolutely honest these things look amazing but they would absolutely not be good for kids to play with. And that's the main demographic for lego. So yeah. Don't get me wrong thia guy's creations absolutely slap.

35 seconds in and, 'my god'... Explaining your thought process with the narrated directions is such a service to people interested in what you do but lack the knowledge and experience that you do. Very well done. This will be the impetus for me getting all my old sets out and trying to do what I'm seeing done here.

[@ChimpWithaHandGrenade]

HELL YES ANOTHER MITCHBUILDS VIDEO Edit: I wish you could have managed to put a Kraata in there but it’s still beautiful! You should do a bohrok next!!!

[@principedepinoloco]

The Rahkshi were my first Bionicle. My father, who passed away a few years ago, bought me Turahk and I couldn't help but collect all 6. They will always have a special place in my heart. The redesign you have done is incredible. I'm wondering: could you make a detailed list of the parts used? On bricklink or a similar site. I would LOVE to replicate your design, and I wouldn't mind paying for it. Perhaps it is an additional way to monetize your creations. Greetings and keep it up!

[@hellothere2863]

I love the use of more regular Lego bricks mixed in with the technic and biconical bits

[@gamerkingdom1442]

Oh this is so cool! And I love you went with such a ALIEN look for the lower jaw! It reminds me of the ELITES from HALO.

[@xxxae_]

Mitch PLEASE do a reimagining of a bionicle visorak. Those were always the most intimidating and badass bionicles growing up for me I think they deserve an upgrade with your interpretation of them!

[@u1tus]

Your videos are genius, the red Rahkshi was my first bionicle, and if you ever decide to do some of the 2006 bionicle sets I will love you!

[@Riley-ub2tf]

Man, you really did all the important features justice. The spines, the split faceplate, the KNEES. Just imagine if you managed to fit a kraata somewhere in there, then it'd really be definitive.

[@thebossbaby7402]

Man you put actual LEGO sets to shame with your builds; the level of detail is insane. You really captured that “bio-mechanical” look. Reminds of a xenomorph kinda.

Rahkshi have always been my favorite Bionicle. You did an amazing job with this one!

[@Lasagnabeater-l4e]

It’s magnificent but in my opinion what could make it better was to make the tail longer in my opinion but it’s very cool and sick to see

[@cpafol]

By FAR my most favorite Bionicle villain type 🤩, and let me say, you've done this an absolute justice and then some! Let's be honest, the Toa Nuva would have stood NO chance against this beasty boy 😈 What I wouldn't give to see a full lineup of all 6 of them!

[@MitchBuilds]

Would be very cool to see, that's for sure

[@cpafol]

@@MitchBuilds I should have asked in my initial comment, but how much inspiration did you get from the Bionicle: Mask of Light movie? This looks like a pretty spot on build of the movie version of the Rahkshi! 💯

[@lsdilldose0G]

Dexter's lab, Radio Shack, Metal Arm Glitch in the system and Bionicle are what made me love robots.

[@anevergreyforest]

This is awesome, kudos for creating such a detailed build while staying true to the original design. Only thing missing is that it needs a place for the iconic Kraata to be held in the spine.

[@sebastianorneland435]

This is a lore accurate representation of how I tought my Rahkshis looked like when I was a child, playing with them. Thank you for this video. Amazing job :D

[@blackdragon5274]

Wow, this is awesome

[@jelkehuisman]

The brown Rahkshi was a gift I got in the early 2000's and the first Bionicle I ever saw. That one sparked an obession with the franchise that outlasted it by a country mile and persists to this day. Awesome to see it get such an amazing revamp! Edit: if you ever plan on making a Piraka revamp, that would be dope. Definately my favourite generation of Bionicle.

[@ronaldlarocque4913]

Yes!! this build is soooo fracking sweet!! I've watched a few of Mitchbuilds videos and in my opinion his only skill crutch is using the original masks of the characters he reimages. again only my opinion as the iconic masks are what make bionicles easily recognizable, but this! this is pure creative gold!

[@renegadekev1308]

You finally got a sponsor I’m so happy to see this because I remember when I thought you would get a sponsor every video (which you deserved) because of those high quality builds and the videos are just so great keep it up and I will watch every video

[@daltonharper4911]

This video gave me so much nostalgia. My favorite bionicle was Krika from the 2008 mistika series. He was like a white insect creature with red accents. It would be awesome to see an updated version of him

[@maximilianwalker5961]

This is possibly my favourite build of yours so far! I've had the rahkshi head in my collection since I was a little kid :) I never could find the full model's parts sadly, but seeing you create such an amazing interpretation brings me so much joy! Beautiful as always!!

[@johnathanmonsen6567]

I would have thought the ankles would need more support, but it seems to have worked well. I guess that's what the friction extenders are for? I also love how the extra teeth assemblies mean the head can split open, like they did in the Mask of Light movie.

[@EpicShrimp9854]

[@Kolu799]

I love this. The Rakhshi was one of the first bionicle i got and this just brought me back so much. Goin with the villain theme would love to see a Barraki or Piraka build in the future. I always enjoyed the "villain" sets more than the Toa.
