Overview
Get your swim suit and strap on your scuba gear–this year’s collab has us diving deep and seeing what lurks under the waves of the Bionicle ocean.
Build a deep sea-inspired creation and bring it to a convention or send it on the BZP Convention Circuit to participate! MOCs will be put on display at multiple conventions, and perks will be given to those who participate in the collab, including free sets! (Note: in order to receive the perks, you will have to ensure you sign up for the circuit.)
Theme
Build something Gali or the Barraki would have seen while swimming around. What is lurking off the shores of Metru Nui? What might a Matoran fisherman have accidentally hooked? Humanoid divers and oceanic Rahi are the focus, but we want plenty of Matoran explorers and scenery as well.
Useful examples include:
- Scuba-diving Toa
- Fish, sharks, eels, and other underwater creatures
- Thermal vents
- Coral reefs
- Seaweed
- Ominous caves
Remember, this is the Deep Sea, and while we’re not keeping things strictly scientific, think about what you might find on the ocean floor and build some scenery too. The more we have, the more the ocean will be brought to life!
Sizing
- Divers should be no larger than a Toa Metru.
- Scenery should be attached to plates or easily attachable to plates for stability and ease of setup.
- Swimming fish should have some sort of stand to to help make them ‘float.’
Also, these MOCs will need to be shipped and displayed so, while not required, please take into consideration stability and durability when making your MOCs. It makes it easier on everyone involved!
