Giant Bionicle



This morning I was playing with my Lego when I put together a few pieces and I realised that I could make Mata Nui...by the way, Mata Nui is the biggest Bionicle ever, 40 million feet tall. OK, mine was probably only 2 ft tall. I built the body, then the legs, then the feet, then the arms, then the head. Then I took it downstairs to show my mum. I'm also showing in the photos a size comparison with a normal sized Toa (the Toa are the mighty heroes of the Bionicles). In real life Mata Nui's head would be about the size of Stradbroke Island - this gives you an idea of how big he would really be. I think I used every single grey piece that I own! The body was really tricky because it was the largest part of the entire thing, and I made a little mechanism so it would seem as if he was breathing. I'm trying to improve that mechanism. The legs were just tricky because I was running out of grey leg pieces, so I had to use "un-leg" pieces, and most of them were black. The arms were easy because they didn't use many pieces, even though they were very big, they just used big pieces, and the head was really easy because it only used three pieces - the eyes, the head, and the thing that keeps the eyes in!
