Vohrok The Energy Bohrok

Fun fact: Toa of Gravity typically have purple and black armor colorations

Lore note: Voriki may have been a fan-made Toa of Electricity, but we have looong since confirmed that purple & black is the colour scheme of Gravity.

If you found a good yellow dye, you could make Prototype Keetongu

Has science gone too far?! No but seriously, these are amazing. You're a brave man with a lot of patience and pieces haha.

I actually like the purple-gray parts! They look like lego's old sand purple color!

I'm wondering if boiling the softer plastic parts in a pressure pot would help the dye penetrate the plastic. EDIT: Love, love, LOVE the metallic purple masks, absolutely fabulous!

I actually really love the pale violet colour that came out in the light grey limbs. I genuinely don’t think you could go wrong with purple

The Purple Bohrok came out so clean.

I have to be honest, I thought this video was going to end with Voriki... Because purple. I love your videos and it's cool to see new stuff being done with Bionicle, even all this time later!

The light gray limb pieces look kind of like Sand Purple. If you've got a piece in that color, they might be worth comparing to that. I actually prefer the dull purple limbs for Kopaka, and maybe you can use the black shields for the purple Bohrok! Very nice results for the pieces that worked.

I think you are supposed to dip into the dye and then take the piece out and dip into a bowl of water. Repeating the process until you get the color you want. As for the soft weapons, I remember seeing a method for making paint stick by lightly torching the plastic pieces. That way the surface can accept the paint without chipping off. Of course it's risky. PS: It would be interesting to see how Nokama Metru mask will turn out if you dye it like this. I think the darkening will really make it match the rest of her body.

The soft plastic would probably be best to be painted. It would probably work because it's not ball joints, it's just axles and you're not going to see those anyways because they'll be in hands

Its Vohrikin time.

Voriki is real!

The dark blu kaukau could be used for hahli Sense her feet are dark blue and to differentiate her from Gali

I actually like how the light gray parts came out. They remind me of "Sand Violet", a color very prominent in the Life On Mars theme. Also, Kopaka looks amazing as a Toa of Gravity.

Borok could simply be given the black shields of the same boroks

gravok for the bohrok feels like a good name

Wow that matched the official purple so well! I might have to try this.

The Rahkshi parts you tried dying were likely all Pearl White parts - which, as an aside, is a colour exclusive to Bionicle as whole. The only color in which they are all found as non-Pearl is Dark/Metru Green; the Rahkshi head from Rahaga Iruni, the Rahkshi feet from Toa Kongu Mahri, and the Rahkshi back from the Lego Vikings set 7018 “Viking Ship challenges the Midgard Serpent”. Incidently, this means the only other fully buildable Rahkshi is a Dark/Metru Green Rahkshi.

the light grey pieces ended up looking sand purple, really cool

Matching colors might take a couple tries, but this could be used to dye white parts lime green for anyone needing replacements! Very informative!

always wanted more purple in the original run of Bionicle, love to see that made into reality here

Sand purple is an actual lego color and it looks just like the dyed light grey limbs. Get some life on Mars or og attack of the clones sets and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I REALLY like the purple toa with the purple-grey limbs, and Lego actually does have a couple colors that are similar--just not in Bionicle parts.

Holy crap this is amazing, just ordered some dye to try this Edit: I did it, this guide is exellent! Great way to make use of Yellowed parts which does effect the end result but it beats Yellowed "white" parts any day :')

Those purple parts were really snazzy! Would love to see some more of your experiences with Dye

Posca has some matching paints as well. They don’t change the plastic color, but you might want to paint over failed experiments or different plastics like the the Bohrok weapons. I have also used spraypaint / graffiti and those look great as well. The chromes are less shiny then original chrome pieces sadly, but if you paint everything on one build the same it’ll still look good and cohesive

For the purple bohrok, maybe vohrok, or vorahk? Like vo-matoran and voriki.

It'd be interesting to see how the 2003 matoran parts come out in black and lime green for onepu and kongu. Could even try dying them in teal for tamaru

Thank god child me who liked to sharpie his clone troopers did not see this video

Cahdok in purple would be amazing! I was just thinking today a lot of the parts already come in purple, and the I saw your Bohrok torso halves, and it had to be!

Even before it appeared in the hand sockets and 7M wings as part of the "Electro/Energy" Slizer (8507), the aforementioned shade of purple known as "bright violet" first appeared in sets from the "Competition" subtheme of Technic in 1998, and many of the first parts which came in that color were exclusive to that theme itself. The Slizer limb in this color first appeared in the "Spark" Slizer (8522) in 2000, which was also its only appearance overall. In addition to appearing in Onepu (1389) and the Nui Jaga (8548), this color began appearing more regularly in system parts during 2001, in a set from the "Life on Mars" theme (7317), and in four early sets from the Harry Potter theme (4702, 4709, 4722 and 4723). Most of the time after this, this color appeared almost exclusively in "Belville" sets, though some parts in it continued to appear in education kits until the color was phased out completely in 2010. Largely being replaced by the color of "medium lilac"-a color which is celebrating 20 years in use this year. The shade of transparent purple used in the Bohrok eyes, first appeared in a Harry Potter set (4721), and the eyes themselves in that color made their only appearance in a set (3808) from the "Spybotics" theme in 2002.

The purpley light grey limbs look like legos old color Sand Purple, they look like almost a perfect match at least on video. Also I wonder what would happen if you put the transparent blue pieces in red dye, that might make them a bit more purple

Very nice, I love that Bohrok cover and Miru. I would love to see Nokamas mask in teal for Tamaru

I really have not expected to think about Voriki in 2023... After all this time he still lives in our hearts

It actually looks like you created sand purple, which is the rare color that was used in the life on Mars theme in early 2001.

Wow this is so cool i cant wait to see if you do more in the future

Those light gray arms came out like that sand purple color!

Your videos have helped me out with my own Voriki attempt which is almost complete, happy to see that purple used on other pieces, I'll be sure to upload my own video of the dye in effect sometime this week, in my experience I was able to get the torso a matching shade on the first go or at least good enough for my own eye-sight.

Those look great. I might try this too!

I’m definitely loving that Bohrok, I’m gonna have to try this

Wohrok the bohrok behind the slaughter

I'm usually not a big fan of altering official bionicle parts, but this is just way too good looking. Definitely gonna give this a try myself!

I love purple, most of theese turned out great!

Finally, we just need a custom mask and we can get freaky with Voriki

I imagine the purple bohrok being smarter than others. That's why he has hands instead of weapons

This has got me wanting to try dying Transformers, since you can't paint them with all their moving parts

Id use the purple Kopaka shield for the bohrok weapons. I can imagine them as little gravity displacers.

PURPLE + BOHROK, YES PLEASE

I would absolutely love a how to video once you have experimented some more on how to do this like recommended temperatures, times, recommended dyes that match the official colors etc !

Oh shoot! I want more purple bonkles! I should do this.

Whooooaaaaaaa. This is crazy cool!!

THIS IS AMAZING!

Even if some attempts weren't perfect it was worth a try and i like that, i always did wondered how would a purple toa look like, i admit i feel a similar wondering though for a yellow and/or cyan colored toa, especially the former as back then i would had loved to see a yellow toa.

Those pinkish purple feet could be good for a non-Toa moc

For the harder pieces to dye you could try hydro dipping sense that method is used to day many different types of materials like diferente types of plastic for example plus having 2 method of dying pieces is always a plus

Awesome content

Lime + purple is great color combo Like Joker or Evangelion

That’s awesome

Maybe you could die some of those feet introduced during Bionicle stars for bohrock shields? Or at least use the black ones, I feel like they match the feeling of the regular shields pretty well.

The Bionicle version of “What if it was purple?” From Eric Andre

You could probably use this method to create stronger lime green parts as replacements for the old ones

Voltok, the Bohrok of lightning.

I think if for that kopaka you used the official lego hands for the shoulders and hips instead of the dyed ones

Try alcoholic inks, whenever I used to make dolls with my mom, that's what she would use. That might work for the softer plastics

Think you could try light blue and dark blue? I wanna make a toa of lightning for my toa team concept and I would love to know what those colors would look like

Any suggestions for changing reddish brown pieces to white? I imagine dye wouldn’t do much, but acrylic paint leaves thinned out streaks and doesn’t stick well (maybe I’m not patience enough).

based and purplepilled. i would say just add a pair of nuhvok weps to the energized bohrok.

Wonder what color the golden kanohi would come out like.? The silver ones look amazing!!

Ay if you can dye many other things plz do shadow Rahi and shiny rahi😁😁

I wonder if this kind of dye would work on generation 2 masks and CCBS parts

Think you could try dyeing a fully golden toa?

What a shame for the soft plastic lack of compativility, but cool for the masks in general and the bohrok cannopys

Very late but the darker kaukau could be used for Hahli to match her legs

El-rok for the borok

Yes ,vohrok

If the silver of the bohrok kal krana cover could be dyed then you could dye a bohrak kal shield for the bohrak

but you're WRONG! Lego HAS had a purple-ly grey! It was called SAND PURPLE!

I never thought about using dye and seeing your vid it looks like it came out solid. Do you have any idea if it can be used on the Inika rubber masks? I had my Inika Hewkii´s gunmetal pieces and mask spray painted to match the brown of the flash animations and the moment I lay a finger on him or move him the paint comes off 😭😭

Is there a good grey dye that would color something into a similar color to the grey that is used all over the basic rahkshi built (and tons of other bionicle)?

I’d be interested to see how the ruru and kaukau look compared to dark blue parts!

5:57 Alright everyone I just replicated this and yes it is in fact sand purple. Now while grey parts can make sand purple it only takes a few minutes so it essay to over dye them.

Would you share how long you dyed the Toa feet by chance? Been working on a Voriki moc and would love to have some proper purple parts.

I like blue on purpule.

I want him to make a orange mask of speed

You gotta do Voriki with this

I wish i had a purple toa torso😅

I wouldn't mind seeing if it is possible to dye mctoran feet in tan or light grey.

Maybe Ahbrakk for the Bohrok?

I have some names for the purple Bohrok, one for Electricity and the other for Gravity Vohrok: the electric Bohrok, able to zap his enemies with his electrical powers! Gahrok: the gravity Bohrok, capable of using his gravity powers against their opponents! p.s. thought this would be fun to share!

My man made Sand Purple Bionicle limbs and he called the results disappointing? I know some people would kill to have more sand purple pieces, let alone Bionicle parts.

Looks very cool. Have you tried making a yellow Ruru?

what type of plastic are the all the different pieces of bionicle? if we can learn that we can probably find a die for each

That Ruru almost looks opaque Metru blue-which I suppose makes sense, as it was already fairly dark and the dye seems to darken transparent parts a tad. This also means a pride flag Toa is possible.

.. the nuva legs do exist in black. as a proto. i own a pair. i would like to know your specific mix because i absolutely love old purple

How come you did not use white limb pieces instead of gray ones? One of them even has originally purple colored varient (from the slizer line). Or were you aiming to get some more purplish-gray limb pieces?

How long did you leave the parts in for and how hot was the water. I want to give this a shot.

Onepu: omg its my family!
