Why do my Lego pieces keep breaking?!

Yeah, I'm sort of raging right there but I'm so hopping mad right now! Around 4 days ago, my father helped to superglue back the wobbly cross axle on the Gresh mask and when I reattached it to the yellowish-green glatorian head guess what? Once when I was moving the head THE AXLE BROKE AND IT WAS STUCK IN THE GLATORIAN HEAD!!! And it rendered 2 of my Lego pieces unusable again! Here's a picture of both pieces which are now unusable.

No choice, I had to throw it away. Now, here's a video of some of my Hero Factory MOCs plus a few of my soft toys' thoughts.

That's it for now!

Lego Hero Factory MOC: Bruizulk

Here's my Lego Hero Factory MOC, Bruizulk! Here's a picture of him.

Here's his background.

Background: Bruizulk is a rock monster part of Bruizer's species. He is perhaps one of the only few creatures that were not corrupted by the brain creatures when they first arrived. Actually, he was nearly corrupted, but he found out that when he hit the red spikes on the brain creatures, they will come out. The reason why he has the lava on his body even though he is not corrupted is because he lives in a part of the planet with rocks where the Bruizer species live has a lot of lava. His best friend is Orguz, who he mistook him as corrupted because of the brain creature on his head. He is currently in his home planet.

Custom woven paper wallet

Here's my custom orange and green woven wallet(AKA carrot woven wallet because the colours are like carrot colours :P)! Here are 3 pictures of it.

This is just basically my attempt to make a woven wallet with paper, make a card holder/pocket open from the side and make the card pockets/holders vertically(by vertically I really mean that the cards are put in vertically) standing by itself. I also tested out a new paper wallet size. Since I use A4 size paper for these wallets, instead of making the size 1/2 of an A4 size paper and 1/4 of an A4 size paper for the pockets, I made this wallet size 1/3 of an A4 size paper and 1/6 of an A4 size paper for the card holders/pockets, although the vertical pockets has a very different size. I think this is quite an appropriate size since you don't have to use too much paper. I used the book wrap to make it waterproof like I did with the pacman wallet. That's it for now!

Rubik's cube doing checkerboard pattern stop motion

Here's a stop motion of my Rubik's cube doing the checkerboard pattern! Here's the video.

Obviously, this video isn't fully stop motion since there's a video part at the end. Anyway, actually all of the photos are taken on March but now I finally got to assemble it into a stop motion. Anyway, I hope you like it!

Custom Pacman paper wallet

Here's my custom Pacman(Pacman is a computer/IOS game) paper wallet as promised on the update on my custom sky paper wallet! Here are 7 pictures of it.

Close of of the Rubik's cube drawing on the back of a card pocket

I made this last year and this was the first paper wallet I made to be waterproof. I really just used the book plastic wrap on this one. However, on the sky paper wallet, it's actually using packing tape to waterproof it. However, the reason why I don't really used this one now is because the first time I used it, the coins in the 'coin pouch' fell out! That was when I knew it was a failure. Because of my fail attempt at the coin pouch, it rendered another one of my paper wallets useless, which also means I wasted my paper, my tape and my time on it. When I made the sky paper wallet I finally had a solution to this problem. Still, I hope you like the pacman and the monsters I made!

Update on custom sky paper wallet

Here's an update on my custom sky paper wallet! I really just updated the back and a little bit in the interior.

Back of sky paper wallet('n' stands for 'and')

I had to put my fingers there to open up the card holder so that you can see those vertical card holders because they are literally hidden. :P

The reason why I put all those Rubik's cubes and the Lego brick design at the back is really to show my love for it. (And yes I like Rubik's cubes just that I never really showed that I do before on the blog.) In the updated interior, I added 2 smaller vertical card pockets inside a horizontal card pocket because really, the cards are actually way smaller than the horizontal card pocket. Then, on the right one(it's right at the angle I took the picture but in reality it's actually on the left) I wrote a horizontal 'Ninjago!' and then the spinjitzu tornado below it. By the way, I'm going to show my Pacman design paper wallet soon!

Lego Hero Factory villain MOC: Tosic(Pronounced as how you pronounce 'toxic')

Here's my Lego Hero Factory villain MOC, Tosic! Here are 2 pictures of him.

Riffle that he got from a hero

Here's his profile.

Name: Tosic

Weapon: Plasma gun(Formerly;when he was a hero), toxic gas blaster with blades on the sides(currently), riffle(currently)(he occasionally uses this)

Colours: Dark red/maroon, gunmetal grey/dark pearl grey, black, bright red

Personality: When he was a hero, he always tries his best to capture villains and also suggest to his team leader plans on how to capture them. Now, he's a cunning, cowardy(well, most of the time, since once he sees someone who sees him committing a crime, he just sprays his toxic gas at him and he will go unconscious. Then, he chooses to either get away, stay there and finish up his crime or kill him. If it's a hero, it will be those 3 choices plus if he wants to, he can just take out their hero core as a form of 'victory memory') and scheming villain.

Affiliation: None

Status: Alive, still out on the loose

Quote:

"How worse can Hero Factory get with their heroes? The team that I was put into kept pushing the blame to me when it isn't my fault!"

Background: Not much was known of Tosic being a hero, but it is known that he was placed in a team of heroes where the leader is super strict and the other members are really muddle-headed. Whenever the team gets scolded for not catching the villain, his team members always point to him and say that it was his fault when most of the time, it really isn't. When he found villainy interesting, he ended up betraying Hero Factory and became a rogue hero.

Of course, after being a rouge hero, the first thing to do is to get the hero core away from being displayed in the front. In the end, Tosic managed to do that and placed a chest piece on his body armour. Then, he got himself an extended neck. After that, he went to a gas factory where it has tons of poisonous gas and he took stole a lot of them for his own use. He turned his plasma gun into a toxic gas blaster and also got some additional blades put on the sides. He turned his hero hand into a claw hand and part of his right arm into a Bionicle lower arm piece. Due to having a toxic gas blaster, he had to get a oxygen tank, so he stole one from a shop. Then, because he wanted to support more of his villainy, he went to paint his body into all of those villain colours(his hero colours were not black, bright red, gunmetal grey or maroon.. His colours were something else). The first thing he did after he changed his whole body was to seek revenge on his former team, particularly because of how much harm they did to him by always putting the blame on him. He made his former team members unconscious, then took out their hero cores, and they were dead. He did more villainy and more crimes, and once he managed to salvage a very powerful and good looking riffle from one of the heroes he made unconscious/killed. Unlike Core Hunter, he doesn't really like to always collect hero cores from dead heroes, unless it is a huge victory that he wants to mark(like he killed his former team members), then he will take their hero cores. Otherwise, it is very unlikely of him to take out the heroes' hero cores. All heroes that were sent to capture him was either killed or put in an unconscious state by his toxic gas blaster. His toxic gas blaster, when changed to shooting shots mode, is able to made things shot by it explode. Although, he really doesn't like to use that mode because its exploding impact is very big, and if used on a hero, his armour pieces will come flying in Tosic's direction and he will also get slightly injured, which also means he will not be able to get away quickly.

Lego Hero Factory villain MOC: Vocanus

Here's my Lego Hero Factory MOC, Vocanus! Here are 2 pictures of him.

Victory pose

Here's his profile.

Name: Vocanus

Weapons: Flame thrower and flame sword

Colours: Dark pearl grey/gunmetal grey, red and orange

Personality: Vocanus hates people who say lies but he is a pyromaniac. He is the leader of the fire villains and he accepts no failure, meaning to say, he expects this much from himself too.

Affiliation: None, but he is the king of all fire villains

Status: Alive,in the prison

Quote: 

"I love destruction, but I hate lies. I have not ever told any lies in my whole live."-Vocanus to Ray Burner, Trails of fire

Background: Not much is known about Vocanus's past, but it is known that there was a leader before him and he was second in command, but because the first leader died in a battle against a lot of heroes, he took over the leader spot. Many heroes had tried to go up against him, but they were either imprisoned by him on the Fire planet after they went unconscious, or the heroes were killed. After Vocanus sent one of his minions to be a crashing fireball so as to give Makuhero city a warning, Hero Factory sent two teams, one being the Back up team, the other one being The Elemental Force. They eventually defeated him(but the real hero who defeated him was really Ray Burner, the rest only helped in the beginning) and put him into prison.

Lego Hero Factory villain/Bionicle MOC: Slimey Reepa

Here's my Lego Hero Factory villain/Bionicle MOC, Slimey Reepa! Here are 2 pictures of him.

Here's his profile.

Name: Slimey Reepa

Weapon: Staff with thronax launcher on the top

Colours: Gold, blue, orangey-yellow and lime green

Personality: When Slimey Reepa was in the Bionicle region, he was fiercely protective of his friends and the other slime tribe members. However, in his regards towards Hero Factory, he really hates it for being his 'replacer' and wants to destroy it.

Affiliation: None

Status: Alive, currently in Hero Factory prison

Quote:

"Hero Factory is my worst nightmare! It replaced me! I must destroy it!"

Background: Slimey Reepa was once a highly ranked Glatorian in the Slime Tribe. He fought with other glatorian and won many battles and helped his tribe get a lot of things. He even won the Grand Tournament once. After Makuta Teridax died, he resided in Spherus Magna like any other Glatorian. However, when he knew Hero Factory came into existence and known to be 'Bionicle's replacer', he was mad and since swore to destroy Hero Factory no matter the costs. He wreaked havoc in Makuhero City a lot and Hero Factory continuously sent heroes to capture him, but to no avail until after the breakout, Tim Blast arrived with Shockiburst who wanted to become a hero. So, he was outfitted with hero armour and set off to battle Slimey Reepa. Burst eventually won and took Slimey Reepa back to Hero Factory, caught and cuffed. Then, he was put into villain storage.

Lego hero factory villain MOC: Strongarm(Pronounced as Strong-garm)

Here's my Lego Hero Factory villain MOC, Strongarm! Here's a picture of him.

Here's his profile.

Name: Strongarm

Weapon: Riffle and Staff(Which I forgot to take a picture for the staff. :P)

Colours: Black, gunmetal grey/dark pearl grey and orange, the thing that really always gives him away and as much as he wants to, he wants to hide it.
Personality: Cunning, evil and always makes his money through making weapons and selling them on the black market. He also did some crimes which made him catch Hero Factory's attention
Affiliation: None
Status: Alive, still out on the loose
Quote:
"Why is it that everybody always thinks my mechanical, black hand is my real hand, while my organic, orange hand as the mechanical one?"

Background: Strongarm is one of the most famous Makuhero City Black Market dealer, since his weapons are always made of high quality metal that all villains like. Then, he started to commit some crimes himself. However, on one unlucky time, he lost his right hand while fighting a hero and had to get a mechanical one. As stated in the quote, everybody always mistaken his hands. His riffle is a very powerful high quality custom gun made by him, and once shot in any part of a hero or citizen's body, they'll go unconscious. For the stronger people, it takes 2 shots, but not too much. 2 shots is nothing much. Because of how strong his riffle is, every hero sent to capture him ends up having to go to the Hero Factory's hospital. Soon, perhaps they have to use one of their biggest projects ever- the very strongly armour, has the strongest weapons, to catch him and put him into prison. However, there is on problem, which is that if their big project gets destroyed by this villain, all of the money spent on it would go to waste. So, before they sent it to deal with this huge threat, Hero Factory will let the hero go on smaller missions first to see how it goes. If he is good enough, he will be sent to capture this villain. As of now, Strongarm is still on the loose.

Lego hero factory villain MOC: Macer

Here's my Lego hero factory villain MOC, Macer! Here's a picture of him.

Here's his profile.

Name: Macer

Weapon: A very heavy weight mace

Colours: Black and gunmetal grey/dark pearl grey, plus white representing him wearing gloves(so that after he does a crime then Hero Factory realises it, it will be harder for them to find him.)

Personality: Macer is one of the worse villains ever you can find. He is very cunning, yet he is so strong, that he is nearly impossible to defeat. He is also sometimes a coward, but he really doesn't consider himself that.

Affiliation: A villain working for Black Phantom, but since he has been put to jail, he has temporarily taken his leader position and giving orders to other villains because he is second in command.

Status: Alive, out on the loose
Quote:
"You'll never know my weakness, you weak hero!"-Macer to a hero that is hit unconscious on the floor

Background: Macer is one of the villains who was hired by Black Phantom so that he could destroy Hero Factory even after The Legion of Darkness, Black Phantom's former group made, was broken. Macer was hired by him because he was known for his very vicious crimes and that he was nearly impossible to get beaten up by heroes thanks to the dark pure grey armour that can withstand anything on him. However, his weak spots are at the black parts which are the feet, his stomach and his lower arms. Even his head has a helmet that can withstand anything, so his head is really out of danger. His mace is probably as heavy as the one Black Phantom uses, but no one really knows. He is known to always use this weapon to wreak buildings and scare citizens and that is what always gets Hero Factory's attention. He is still out on the loose because of how easily he can beat up heroes and that he is protected nearly everywhere.

Lego legends of chima ultrabuild MOC: Super Chi Wreaka

Here is my Lego legends of chima ultrabuild MOC, Super Chi Wreaka! Here's a picture of him.

Bio: As Wreaka finally realises that his tactics will not be able to last for long, he gets Wizo to train him in using the Ninjago element of fire. During the first lesson, he takes a vengious that was made by Rarak and starts his lesson with Wizo. When Wizo asked him to take a chi orb, he purposely took the golden chi as he wanted to know how it would be like if he plugged the golden chi in. He did that he ended up turning into what he is now. Now, he can shoot off huge blasts of fire and can smash up anything in his way and cannot control himself. He is constantly attacking the good tribes as he cannot control himself and Wizo really wishes to get the golden chi out of his chest.

Lego universe MOC: Rocket

Here is another Lego MOC, but this time from the unforgettable MMOG(Massive Multiplayer Online Game) made by Lego, Lego Universe! This time, I made a rocket that is seen at the beginning of the gameplay where you escape one of the places with it! Here's a picture of it.

I also made a minifigure inspired by some of the universe gear and I also used one of my custom torsos(Not fully custom, it had the police uniform printing in the front and made a custom back sticker). As for the rocket... it isn't exactly copied from the universe rocket, just inspired by it(and I don't have the pieces needed to make it like the actual rocket). That's it for now!

Lego hero factory brain attack review: Furno

Here's my Lego hero factory brain attack review on Furno!I bought him today. Here's a picture of him.

Figure: A more complex build so that he can have the extra armour in the front is great! He also looks great as an overall, but I don't like his mask without the visor(It looks ugly without the visor). (9 and a half/10)
Colour scheme: So far, I really don't see any parts of him showing random colours out of nowhere, so it's quite good. (10/10)
Pieces: They. Are. AWESOME! You get those shield pieces, the grey bones which are one pin hole plus a ball joint long, silver sword piece(Similar to the one used on Chi Worriz),transparent greenish yellow head and red exo force claws. (10/10)
Total: 29 and a half/30
That's it for now and I hoped you enjoyed this review!
