BANTHA

NOTES:

Well, in this one I went about as far as you can go trying to find uses for “useless” Bionicle pieces: his rump is a Bionicle can lid!

This guy was pretty tricky. The biggest challenge was coming up with some sort of Technic piece solution for the blanket/saddle draped over his back. It actually worked out well in the end, though, because instead of having making a separate blanket piece to place over his back, the blanket IS his back – there’s no brown pieces under there.

For articulation, he has moveable horns, a moveable tail, and knees that bend. He also has an opening in his back so that a Miniland scale figure can be placed into/onto him. Here, he is seen with the Tusken Raider.
