My Top 10 Favourite Hero Factory Sets

[@uzunami810]

The best part about Core Hunter is that he's actually an ex-hero

[@thatlegoguy4677]

Tsynami is he? Really? That is SO cool

[@nickobrien8043]

So him an Von nebula, dang.

Core hunter versus, von nebula.

I read this and didn’t believe it, I then proceeded to research his character for 30 minutes

[@shamanaseem7165]

Kinda like witch doctor but deeper, right? That's cool

[@legodavid9260]

I think one of my favorite Hero Factory sets is Fire Lord. He is a really cool villain, with a really cool weapon and a really cool jet pack!

[@zotethemighty1215]

I love fire lord as well!

[@sinanaldulaymi4103]

The only set I got from the ordeal of fire wave. I wish they kept the claw hand though

[@TheSonBC0]

I remember seeing a 3.0 stringer in my primary school underneath a counter and now I feel like committing a herofactory break in.

[@BenCossyOfficial]

The true Hero Factory Breakout Indeed!

[@susiehatchet9438]

BEN! Thank you for keeping bionicle and herofactory in my life. I love watching these videos not only when building, but when drawing, it’s just great inspiration fuel

[@user-xb1wh5mt4l]

Stringer stands out as the only hero to actually use a gun in the Savage Planet. Even Furno's bow-thing is canonically a sword.

[@cretinouscretin9677]

A good memory I have about Witch Doctor was that some like 4-5 years back, I had Witch Doctor, but he had gotten taken apart, and I had wanted to build him again, but I didn't have the instructions, and I didn't know what to do, so I decided to just look at a picture of him, and I was actually able to build him (almost) entirely. He didn't have the Pistons in his legs, but close enough.

[@OK_21]

Sad to see the the Hero Factory Drop Ship didn't make the list. Still one of my favorite sets to this date, and I have a completed one sitting on my shelf right now.

[@meep1998]

3:36 you turned into Kermit the Frog there for a moment

[@OtisCluck]

meep 199 I’m not the only one who thought that

[@Timformer2000]

True that

[@igotbronze2742]

3.0 was when I really started getting into hero factory. I remember loving the bulk and nex sets because of their long claws. (I think I actually ended up getting 3 of nex) Overall though, my favorite set would probably have to be Furno XL he was just so cool with that massive sword and a cape that has seen use on my mocs since the day I took Furno XL apart.

[@nunocampea2395]

Fact: Core Hunter was once a hero himself

[@user-lynKx]

that makes his sooo much cooler

[@thelightninglynxlynx7318]

this may be a bit odd but my favrioute hero factory set is either queen beast or splitter beast from the invasion from below series. witch doctor is VERY close second.

[@dustbeans]

Loved core hunter too, made a pretty neat moc of him I like a lot.

[@RattrapsTail]

So glad to see Rotor on this list! I got him while on vacation in the USA together w Corroder and they wound up keeping me company for the rest of my stay there. Later its pieces would become crucial and yeah, overall just great memories.

[@halokid1002]

Tbh i kinda like the new voice for surge. Since his old voice didn't really fit his later stage since he's basically a veteran by the time of brain attack. His new voice is less whiny and sounds more adult like. But that's just my opinion

[@thebowtie5605]

For my entire life, since the videos for Breakout came out, every time i’m imagining a hero and a villain fighting, i hear that song from Stormer XL and Black Phantom fighting on the star wars-style bridge

[@macs.9644]

I thought invasion from below was really cool, and a nice way to end the theme with the new design with "Min-Fig" heroes, but Brain Attack was very good too.

[@CentralPALocos]

Good video! I’ll comment on your takes because I feel like it. I think Nex 2.0 is the best for the same reasons you think Evo 2.0 is. I really like both of the new characters but I still wish we had a Stringer and Bulk 2.0 sets. I still want Stringer 3.0, and another to make a 2.0 variant. All 3 of the secondary colors Stringer has had are awesome I will say. My brother has Speeda Demon and I remember from the night he brought it home I really liked him. My one regret is that he did not have a launcher of any sort, and that no bike was ever made for Stormer. My brother also has Xplode, which is a great figure. My personal favorite is Meltdown, he’s almost a Barraki. But I respect your Xplode choice and I’d personally put him in the second place for 1.0 villains. For Core Hunter, I completely agree. I remember back when Breakout 2nd wave had just hit, and I had a gift card and I had just enough to get one large HF set, and all that were available were Bulk, Voltix, Core Hunter, and Breez who I already had. I ended up choosing Bulk and I stand by my choice (he’s a great set), but I still really want CH (sometime soon, perhaps). Furno Bike is a really good set which I also want. Also, does the standard Furno fit on it? I never did get any IFB sets, and IFB still doesn’t sit well with me. The cliffhanger ending of Breakout and Brain Attack really left me hanging with IFB. Speaking of which, my brother also has Black Phantom, which I’m jealous of. Not much to say you didn’t already there, same with Rotor. As for Witch Doctor, I put him at #1 in my list as well. My brother was going to get him, too, but unfortunately neither of us did. In conclusion, to me Hero Factory was more than a toy, but are memories. My all time favorite memory was near Christmas 2011 when my brother and I were at Toys R Us and we saw the new Breakout sets for the first time. I was so thrilled, I got Surge and Stormer 3.0 (I didn’t have any other stormers at the time). My brother got Black Phantom. I loved the new backgrounds on the packaging, and I loved that for the heroes they brought back the original masks and gave each one a Zamor sphere launcher, two things I desperately wanted Heroes to have again. Waiting the next few weeks was torture, ahaha.

[@BenCossyOfficial]

By standard Furno do you mean the solo 1.0 set? He does yes. The Furno that comes with the bike and Furno 1.0 are basically the same thing.

[@JackTheBreadGuyOfficial]

“Rocko” Rocka

[@PlasticToa]

evo was my first ever ccbs set and my favorite hero

[@dangamertop9253]

Which Evo, because u know there are 3. Considering ur avatar it's 2.0.

[@PlasticToa]

[@dangamertop9253]

@@PlasticToa I do agree that it would be cool to have a purple version of newer Evo's, cause the 2.0 and 3.0 r prototypes. But toxic or water don't really align with purple.

[@InactiveAcoountSpeltright]

I absolutely love 2.0 breez!

[@shamanaseem7165]

With speeda demon he just forgot he was doing hf and went like oh yeah this bionicle looks pretty cool with this bike

[@jordanhenrichs620]

This brought back very good memories! Loved this episode! My favorite Hero Factory is Furno 2.0. It was just an awesome design and had an awesome blaster! The goggles could turn around and have the regular mask look.

[@Tburbee1532]

Witch doctor and black phantom were my all time favourite sets, I consider buying those 2 and building them again for nostalgia all the time.

[@lil_ceilingfan5851]

Black Phantom was my favorite, he was built really well compared to other Large herofactory figures making him great to play with when I was a kid. I also think his look was brilliant and fun.

[@Tburbee1532]

@@lil_ceilingfan5851 exactly, breakout introduced so many new parts, and he came wit the majority of them, the mace pieces, the blade, the spider head, plus the trans green and black colour combo was unseen

[@apotatoguylikesdogs6761]

Even though I’ve never personally owned any HF sets there are some if maybe consider buying online or something if I really wanted them and were a reasonable price Mainly being Speeded demon Furno XL Witch Doctor And a few other somewhat large sets that I can’t currently remember Maybe Stormer XL

[@sinanaldulaymi4103]

To this day , I love the Hero factory set and I made MOCs of the characters in as purely their colour as possible with XL versions too, and I have Core Hunter as an anti hero

[@Rob-uh2mr]

Defo one of my favs was voltix loved the purple and the yellow tentacle thing plus breakout stringer was incredible

[@jowanderuiter8936]

my top 10: 10: Nex (3.0) he's my favourite of the 3.0 heroes (mostly because he's themed after a Tiger and I like his scene with Stringer against Scorpio in the actual episode, his personality on the show I found very enjoyable). 9: Jawblade he's a sassy evil shark (need I say more) 8: Toxic Reapa cool green villain, he has a cool Mask, cool posture that works well for the character, and I love the Lime green tanks on his shoulder, combine that with the thin legs and bulky arms, beautifully well designed set. 7: Rocka (Breakout) he has a cool shield, I like the mask definitly the best version of Rocka in my opinion 6: Dragonbolt big electrical dragon 5: Preston Stormer (1.0) the original stormer set remains my favourite version of the character, he isn't as complex of a build as the later versions of him (especially Breakout) but he doesn't need to be. 4: Jetbug Jetbug was my first CCBS set and I have fond memories of him flying around fighting my 1.0 Furno, Surge and Breez, also he had a really cool prescence in the show. 3: Rotor Rotor was my second Titan set (After Gadunka) and to this day I like him more then Von Nebula (there was a time after I got him where I only had eyes for Rotor). 2: Meltdown Meltdown is by far the coolest villain on this list, I've used his mask (which is my Favourite Mask in all of Hero Factory) for so many mocs, also his appearance on the show is an absolute delight 1: Scorpio this is just personal Bias here, but you could switch Meltdown and Scorpio around and it wouldn't make a difference, but out of the 3.0 wave Scorpio is in my opinion the best set (or at least the one I wanted most) he's my third Titan set after Rotor (I skipped Firelord the previous year, because he's kind of forgettable, Jetbug steals the show there), but yeah a big green scorpion with a gun on his stinger. (did I mention I like green?)

[@BenCossyOfficial]

Solid list! Totally agree that Stormer 1.0 is the best Stormer

[@notthis9586]

10 Brain Attack Surge 9 Breakout Breeze 8 Black Phantom 7 Core Hunter 6 Speeda Demon 5 Witch Doctor 4 Jetbug 3 Breakout Bulk 2 Fire Lord 1 Stormer XL Series definitely peaked at Breakout for me, even most of sets outside it that made my list are aesthetically similar to some extent: not naked, ccbs, and largely mechanical themed as apposed to biological...

[@qirade6564]

Breakout Bulk is so underrated why so many people haet him?😅

9:34 That was me with the Microfighters when the Planet Sets died in Star Wars. Now, I own every Microfighter (excluding the convention exclusives of course) and even though I don't have any more room, I'm going to keep getting them so long as they are still being made. They're so much fun, and it's nice to have a smaller version of a thing versus something that would cost $100 and take up half a shelf. 12:51 :Hears about Core Hunter's backstory: Me: 66.media.tumblr.com/26a610a9aa9ffc50c56afd92fdb164d8/tumblr_ot3lrgl13X1rszoo3o4_r1_540.gifv 15:38 Kaxium V3 is in a corner somewhere crying. 22:06 This is not the way of the Dark Side. And here I thought we would rule the Galaxy together... You are a RIVAL! 22:33 Okay, scratch all of that, Padawan Lost and Wookiee Hunt, the Season 3 Finale, was the turning point for me with Ahsoka, too! As I've rewatched the series, you can definitely tell that there is character growth all throughout the early seasons and she does actually get better, you just never realized it, but when I saw Season 3's Finale, man, I was totally on board. She works best when she's alone and not with Anakin in my opinion. What's weird is that even though there is that big noticeable difference with the design change starting at Heroes on Both Sides, she's still kind of like she was before, she was possessed in the Mortis Arc, and in the Citadel Arc, she's not even supposed to be there, but when that finale hits, she finally grew up, wasn't playing second fiddle to Anakin, and actually was given the time to show she had actually improved, and from then on, I'm like, you're great. I was still always on the bandwagon of killing her off though. I'm not against her living now since I've seen Rebels, but then now that she's also still alive after the events of Return of the Jedi, I'm like, okay Dave, you need to learn to let go and kill her off or you should have left her on Malichor to disappear into the ether. 30:50 I have to say, I love Medium Azure. It's a very welcoming color and I'm actually shocked that Medium Blue is still in existence because boy did that color not age well. It doesn't turn yellow to my knowledge (although I bet it does if you do it right), but seeing how vibrant Medium Azure is, it really makes Medium Blue look kind of gray and ugly, which is weird because Sand Blue is objectively gray and subjectively ugly, but it's a fantastic color. 31:40 *Braaams Intensify* That's crazy, I mean, he even has a similar sounding accent. I'm no dialect coach, but I imagine that the accent varies from where you are in Australia because I've noticed you sound different being in the West than the stuff I've heard on TV (Which is mostly from Crocodile Hunter lol) being in the East. I subscribe to Qui-Gon's philosophy here, "Nothing happens by accident." Although to be fair, they made the guy with a whole sound system built into his aesthetic sound like he's a country hick; Jimmy Stringer sounds like such a dope compared to how he looked. Ignoring that you are from Australia, -Cossy- Surge doesn't have a look to him that would denote any specific kind of accent so I can handle an Aussie voice coming out of his mouth. 33:44 As if it could be anyone else. Never owned it but I remember hearing Bio-Tube and MOCpages blowing up about that guy. Alright, that's enough out of me, *yeesh* I write a lot.
