Minionicle: The Legend Begins

thingiverse

Gathered friends, listen again to our legend of the Minionicle! This is Minionicle, a Bionicle minifigure project, introducing custom, Lego compatible heads, masks, and armors for resin 3D printing to make Bionicle minifigures. The head is based on the Toa Mata heads, where the mouth is a hollow stud connection, making it possible to connect masks with both bar connection and stud connection. The Toa Mata and Turaga masks connect with a bar. I also included older versions, which I have called "helmet" that connects to standard minifigure heads like a hat or a helmet. The minifigures I made is based on the Hero Factory minifigures and the mini robots from Nexo Knights. But I'm also looking forward to what figures people will make with these. Want to download everything in folders? Since Thingiverse won't let me upload a zip file, and there is a lot of files here, I just uploaded them to Google Drive instead, so you could download the whole folder structure here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1saJaUo2Fh9zBTwCylq8KoCWP_LJu1bhg?usp=sharing The first collection is based on the first year of Bionicle, having all the masks for the Toa Mata and the Turaga. Let us recreate scenes from our great childhood stories from Mata Nui and other places from the Matoran universe! This is the way of the Minionicle. To build the toa, I used a skeleton torso, 2 Hero Factory minifigure legs, 2 Exo-Force robot arms, and two robot claws. The Matoran are built like the Nexo Knight bots, just change the helmet and head with the Minionicle head and mask. The turaga is a little more complex. You'll need a 1x1 brick with stud on eah side, a 1x1 plate, a 1x2 plate, a 1x2 tile, a t-pipe, 2 round 1x2 plate, 2 1x1 plate round with bar, 2 Exo-Force arms, 2 Claws and 2 nexo bot legs. I'll include images off assembly. For those that are interested in Stud.io I've also included the Stud.io custom parts. Want to share your creation of brickbuilt Bionicle?
