Description This project aims to honor the original 2001 Bionicle sets while incorporating modern-day poseablity. I was initially inspired by the work of Brian Fiedler (Lalam24 ). His re-revamp blew me away, and I wanted to make something just as good. Unfortunately, I didnt have the skills to modify pieces. Through much experimentation I was able to create my first Tahu revamp (www.moc-pages.com/folder.php/1… ). I am proud to say after several years and much more experimentaion, I have successfully re-re-re-revamped each of the 2001 toa without modifying a single element. Some of these were quite tricky to create as there are many pieces that don't exist in the appropriate colors. I almost gave up on Lewa and Pohatu, but I perservered. I am quite happy with the results! This is also my first real attempt at photography with figurines. Happy to hear any tips on getting better shots.

If you don't mind, how did you attach the head? I can't get it to look quite right.

Great question. This puzzled me for a long time! I had to pull the brainstalk out halfway in the head to give it a little extra length to clear the ball joint cup. It should still hold the headblock in place.

Love the sword and shield on the back.  I actually did some mods to my tahu about 2 years ago that have only the handle attach to the back, and the entire arm awaps out for a normal handed one.

Thanks! That sounds cool. Do you have a photo of that?

I'll be taking it with the blue background at some point in the future, too.
