Turaga Files - Unboxing the Legend - Exhibit 008-009-010
Ok, get ready for an oldie. This is pre Bionicle back in 1998 when the first ball-joint mounted creatures were about to conquer the world. Slizer/Throwbots were planned to be sold from vending machines and a couple of them actually were constructed for consumer testing. This is the design proposal that I mocked up in an early 3D program (Strata I think:).

Why oh why wasn't this real...if only... Imagine Bionicle 2001 being sold like that... My heart would melt. This is totally awesome.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea. If only the Tohunga had been sold that way. XD
ReplyDeleteI loved Slizers so incredibly much, although I could never keep the names straight because I kept getting both the European and American versions!
ReplyDeleteA vending machine would have been amazing.
This is interesting, as I recall reading in "Brick by Brick" that during development, the original BIONICLE canisters were designed so that they could possibly be sold in vending machines. It's neat to see that that idea was kicking around prior to that.
ReplyDeleteI still have my old Slizers somewhere from when I was a kid. (Or at least young enough not to question why the Fire Slizer had a head-crotch!)
Could you please post anything Roboriders related if you have anything? I'm absolutely obsessed with the line, and I would really appreciate it.

ReplyDeleteOn your blog I can see you have discussed vending machines but in these vending machines we will get toys, yeah that's good and I'm sure my child will become so happy to see your blog. But do you know right now Mefit Vending has become so famous worldwide. Because of this people are getting good and fresh quality foods as well as snacks. Again this vending machine really providing us amazing services.
