LEGO Bionicle Tahu and Takua GWP Review

[@maxresdefault_]

I know nothing about Bionicle, but I love how enthusiastic these videos have been so far

[@Versere]

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

[@JackalformerlyKnownasDjjjav]

Gathered friends, we must tell this young man our tale of the bionicle

[@Takeawayjustin]

Check duckbricks video how to get into bionicle

[@TadIGuess]

I just got this a couple days ago! I was honestly surprised, it far exceeded my expectations. They're so goofy but absolutely perfect. Sits nicely with the rest on the Bionicle shelves.

[@MelanismSeis]

Hi! Honestly the Gali and Pohatu builds take the cake for me. They look the most "unique" and best designed among the rest. I think having already distinct designs in OG form helped. Congrats on the work arounds! If you hadn't told me these were fan made, they could have fooled me!

[@MCS_Mr.Malice]

Fellas, he’s back.

[@george-georgebonx3822]

7:19 Those parts to me look really remind me of Tahu from the 2003 game, in the pc/console versions, but the overall build also remind me of how he looked like in the gba version, so l think these can be considered references to those games.

i just got this set for 20 cad and i've completely turned my opinion around on it. It's amazing. it's so cute in person and it has so much articulation, giving it far more personality than even the original

[@LucasHinojos]

Not Good Guy in GWP!!😂 Fantastic video! The pacing, simplicity, and writing are top notch!

[@foxietheplushie]

The gwp is such an amazing set! I personally had a blast putting Tahu and Takua together as well as the other Toa! That set got me into the theme and i will forever be grateful for it. Great video!

I'm barely too young to have any real nostalgia for Bionicle. I remember the commercials, but g1 ended when I was like 9 and to a weirdly judgmental toddler, Bionicle was just the "weird" part of Lego that never interested me. I guess I was just too young to "get" it. Fast forward a bit and I'm doing a lot of Lego-centric artwork for a living and I finally took a deep dive on Bionicle lore. Anyways I bought this set the other day from my local used Lego shop and the love poured into it is great and it really resonates with me as someone who a) still generally prefers brick building and b) finally understands why the original Constraction stuff was so cool. It also just felt really good to make because this was my first real Lego set in about 15 years, good way to start a hobby I always wanted to do! 10/10 would travel back in time and give it to little kid me.

[@techdat5939]

Hey man I'm very glad you came back. There's also a rumor that bionicle is returning in 2025.

[@techdat5939]

Im sorry if that is in the video i haven't watched it yet and im gonna save it to watch later because i am busy

[@harrisonking1195]

LOVE the MOCed toa. i wasn't a huge fan of the GWP until this video. thank you for helping me see the light!

[@MungDaalCo]

This set pulled me out of my lego dark age (sadly a little too late after having already sold almost all my pieces), it's as iconic to me as my first sets I got as a child. I've been using it as a base for other characters (original and existing) and I regularly find myself fiddling with it to a degree none of my other sets can really match. It's pure, unbridled fun and inspiration in my eyes, and I'm so glad I was able to get my hands on one (kinda wished I had gotten another when it was being sold alongside the Blacktron ship cuz I love that theme too but alas that was a tight month for my wallet)

[@dansmith8872]

I just found your videos this morning and I have to say I love it .25 minutes talking about this figure was great .I got some great info on how to upgrade my builds .thanks . Wasnt bionicle technic when it first came out ?You can build so many mini Tahu and so many GWPs .You can also build the exo toa . Bionicle and hero factory will never die .I think the fans have taken it to a whole new level .the mocs that are out there show that .I think we fans have done what lego could not do .Lego made bionicle but we took it over and made it even better .take care

[@Anton-de5vu]

My dream is for legos 100th anniversary they do a “lego legacy” line. Where a bunch of different themes are represented. One of them being Bionicle. They release the six toa Mata in the GWP style as individual sets. And the six OG mctoran as polybags. Maybe one final set of takua and takanuva, maybe even makuta

[@RaiJolt2]

This is a certified epic video. Also don’t worry, I think we collectively forgive the use of bootlego

[@creepywombat3254]

I can understand why if bionicle came back they would want the original pieces but I think this is honestly a great step. Hell imagine what you can do with the mech piece

[@davidbeer5015]

I could see either this style or somewhere in one of the current mech range (either the $15 style or this past year’s Ninjago mechs), depending on the cost range and purpose, whether display or play (GWP style for more display, mech style for play). I know people have toyed with the former. I recently started looking at the latter and, while the mech torso needs swapping out, the sccbs limb is pretty neat to play with despite the lack of knees and elbows.

[@HYPERPUNKPEACHES]

Dude this video was fucking awesome, very informative, entertaining, and creative

[@NooceneSounds]

I absolutely love your Pohatu and Gali!

[@DKrumpp]

Is that a sneaky Voriki at the back, 14:27? 😄

[@possiblyzslot838]

Great touch tbh

[@HYPERPUNKPEACHES]

This video was so good it caused me to order 4/6 OG Toa

[@Clanso]

NEW VERSERE CONTENT LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FINALLY

[@eyeof3ndr364]

i managed to order this off of bricklink, i'm excited to build it. Honestly, this was a creative way of recapturing the "buildable action figure" using System, and it seems generally easy to replicate.

[@BenBoyee]

I literally bought the Viking Ship set just to get this thing and I have no regrets

[@julienthijs1271]

Waiting for mine in the post ^^ i got it new easely for 20€ on a mass market site so the wierd market practices are gone (i am belgian). I can't wait ! Also Youre video is really pleasing and well narrated. 😊 Good job

[@EuphratesTalksTFs]

Man I know absolutely zip about Bionicle, but hell yeah this was a fun video

[@deykuzor]

If they brought back a technic style or even ccbs style continuation of the original storyline of Bionicle, I wonder how many people would come back?

[@plumdowner1941]

GWP Good Guy is a masterpiece

[@trogglemorphtrystopmotion1887]

I am tempted to recreated me in the GWP style

[@sp1ky58]

8:43 nice family guy pose lmao

[@Andrew-ri3qh]

Can you make a makuta in that style?

[@indecay8756]

whats the name of the last toa? I didnt understand the name and I cant find it online

[@jessehcreative]

Voriki

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

What will you review next?

[@carlosrivaswerner8620]

That was a wonderfull Video Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@Matter_Of_Fact]

Im proud of Pohatu too 😁

[@techdat5939]

Make all the Mctoran/Turaga

[@Luigi90900]

Where did you get the purple bootlego from?

[@MenacingThreat]

After over a year of simmering on the idea of Bionicle G3 being a system line… yeah I’d be down, as long as the masks are unique pieces and not prints.

[@arcticpossi_schw1siantuntija42]

The ball on Lewa's chest has always been black At least my Lewa mata has a black ball on his chest

[@NathanielGarr0_96]

got it for under 25€ on amazon, good i waited

[@TTHBLOX_]

I have 2 of the gwp. I ordered 2 €100 ninjago orders haha

[@TTHBLOX_]

And yes i love it. And the designers poured their heart into it

[@BasementDweller_]

He has all 7.

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

No one views him as the canon of anything after Greg was layed off last month lol.

[@КириллПовольнов-ш7д]

I like system bionicles so much

[@pikapikachu2010lol]

i hate lego...

[@Ktronrex-ud1vs]

4:16 I really don't understand what Lego made this stupid ass piece
