Bio Samurai

I remember the times when the LEGO Technic series was not limited to cars, motorbikes, trucks, etc. known from the real world. There were sets connected to more diverse universes such as the C3PO, R2D2 or CIS droids from first Episode of SW.

So I decided to try to assemble from my BIONICLE elements something unrelated to the Bionicle series - a samurai armor. I wanted the figure to look nice on the shelf and not be limited to one position. Due to the large number of orange-colored blocks I have, I decided that orange would be the dominant color, and I diversified the color scheme with gray and blue accents.

The result was something I had been missing from LEGO catalogs for years - a technical statue devoted to topics other than the down-to-earth atmosphere in which the Technic series was stuck.

Who knows? Perhaps something similar will appear soon as part of some 18+ series? After all, the orchids present in the LEGO catalogs are using shoulder armors known from CCBS SW figures :)
