Teridax

Austin doesn't have a Makuta Teridax Bionicle. He would have really liked to have one, especially when we were visiting his cousin, Jonah's, place and discovered that he was willing to give his old Bionicles away. But Auntie Vicky runs a daycare, and the Bionicles are being enjoyed by the kids at daycare.

Austin was initially disappointed, but soon suggested that he build Teridax for the daycare kids. He would need access to a computer, so he could find the instructions and rebuild Teridax (199 pieces). Teridax was in pieces in a Lego bucket, so it took some considerable sifting to find each part. After about an hour, Austin had built Teridax, and he was well pleased with his accomplishment. He proceeded to tell Vicky about the value of the older Bionicles, and what Teridax might sell for, on eBay.

A couple days later, Austin showed me his version of Teridax. He had built him, using other Bionicle parts. Austin's Teridax is bigger than the original. Austin likes his version better, in some ways. He felt the original Teridax's legs were too short, and he was frustrated that there were no knee or ankle joints.

Here are some photos of Austin's version of Teridax, with some size comparisons to Antroz, Kongu, Gali and Hahli.
