God I would absolutely LOVE a Bionicle cooperative miniature game similar to Gloomhaven.

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Oh man, why did you have to put such an awesome concept in my head?!

[@sky0kast0]

Passion is healthy and very easy to share

[@aegrisomnia]

Thank you for the trip down memory lane. ❤

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Haha happy to oblige!

[@kingmarshmellow12]

This was a joy to watch, and super relaxing. Not only triggering all that nostalgia fondness, but a clear example of a master artist at work. Thanks for the video!

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Super kind words! Thank you so much! Glad you liked the video!

[@LordFindogask734]

They look spectacular!

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Thank you!

[@pacificnorthwet]

The way you painted the masks reminds me of the comics. They look fantastic! The minis look spectacular as well! I hope you do more Bionicle stuff in the future

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Thank you so much! And yes I loved the art in those comics, that was definitely an influence! I am hoping to do more in the future.

[@Autisticguywithacamera]

So much detail, I grew up on Bionicle and this is so nostalgic for me.

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Awesome! Glad you loved the video, it was fun to get that nostalgia going again too!

[@crosswiredcrafts]

Incredible!

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Thank you!

[@deathlance123]

I stumble upon this stl files saturday night, now youtube recommends me the video, i al scared

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Haha perfect timing I guess!

[@frogjog8822]

These look absoluty fantastic!

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Thank you so much! I’m really happy with the way they turned out

[@theGreenChangeling]

One thing I would love to do, if I get my hands on a Kopaka again, is to paint over the details on him. Paint the pistons in leadbelcher, give his sword an icy glow, that kinda stuff.

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Yeah that would be awesome! These were spare masks I had in the collection but I may pick up another Kopaka and do a full body custom!

[@dualwieldsoftware]

I really like our approach to lava. It seems really approachable, and the end result was nice. I gotta try that!

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Thank you! And yes you should! Just keep layering on brighter colors and in smaller areas, it will look weird at first but stick to it!

[@CorundumSW]

Loved seeing this! It would be really fun to do custom paint jobs, variations of the originals

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Oh I love this idea!

[@Cayot356]

These look amazing

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Thank you so much! They were a really fun project

[@VaporeAnne]

I have the OG six and several other sets. My son and I have been rebuilding them as he’s caught the Lego but. Seeing our here have nostalgia is awesome. Very lovely work replicating them to perfection.

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Awesome! Yeah they are really fun to play with still! Hoping for a franchise reboot some day!

[@DoomReginDoom9090]

Awesome work dude! Was really amazing and awesome seeing you paint them, hopefully there are more to come like the rahkshi

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Oh man that would be awesome! Maybe in a future video!

[@DoomReginDoom9090]

@MiniPaintMitch I'm looking forward to see how you would base them as their elements are so different

[@ioanninaioannina-fo3ll]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Thank you!

[@itsmrmanman]

I’ve been looking forward to this one!

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Haha yep! Glad you liked it!

[@sethzac2424]

Nice work dude, really took me back, Also if you got a bunch of Bohrak you could do an age of fantasy quest batrep with them

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Yeah I actually love that idea!

[@davidlarsen4904]

Mitch! Dave Larsen here. You're very talented and clever. I'm really enjoying your videos. We should reconnect sometime.

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Yeah dude! Recognized you! Let’s do it!

[@madmerlinsart]

Oh man! I wish I had a 3D printer. I'd love to paint these guys. I still have my original Toa Mata in their tubs and would love to have a miniature version to display.

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Try reaching out to the original creator (I left a link in the description) he might be willing to do a print run because he does sell other 3D printed things too

[@madmerlinsart]

@MiniPaintMitch OK, I might do, but I have asked my D&D group who have printers.

[@Andres-dn3wf]

Painting the toa nuva when

[@MiniPaintMitch]

😆 Great idea! Maybe even a Bohrok?

[@Andres-dn3wf]

@@MiniPaintMitch it would be amazing actually xD

[@zeusthefox1585]

I don't mean to be one of those guys. But I should point out something. Bionicle characters aren't truly robots. They are more akin to Cyborgs, but their mechanical parts aren't metal and are more akin to an Exoskeleton made of material similar to the Shell of a Crab. And yes they do have Organs and Muscles (if you ever see the old Bionicle Movies you'll notice purple texture on the characters...that's Muscle) Meaning it heals and mends. That aside these look incredible.

[@MiniPaintMitch]

Thank you so much! And yeah I’m diving back into Bionicle lore and loving it all over again!

[@zeusthefox1585]

@MiniPaintMitch Same grew up with it and here I am at 30 and still coming back to it to flex my imagination.

[@DarthP00P00]

Not to mention the entire story took place inside a continent-sized sapient being, giving the story a real Osmosis Jones kinda vibe
