Flashback to Hero Factory episode 11 concept. Shrineroom

A quick flashback to 3 years ago when we worked hard on creating the world behind Hero Factory episode 11 "Invasion from below".

The basalt Shrineroom underneath Antropolis created in ancient times. Warning the future not to enter the underground

Much has been said about Hero Factory and episode 11. But given all the compromises and budget issues, voice talent that wasn't available... - bottom line I think this episode produced entirely by Ghost and Advance, actually turned out very adventurous and actionpacked.
It was definitely ment to be continued because Heroes do not leave a half done mission. But HF was abandoned and the rest is history.
A fun fact behind episode 11 is that it is seen more than 5 million times on different Youtube profiles.

Early HF EXO conceptsketch

In 2015 everything is new and Bionicle is back. Hero Factory has closed the doors to the building in Makuhero City. I have been working on the HF concept since the very beginning and here is an early concept sketch from 2013 when the hero Exo suits were put on the table.

HF MOC "cleaning" the basement of Hero Factory

Here is a big HF Special-Ops Moc on location in the wrecked basement of the Hero Factory. He is carrying the prototype "Hero Booster". A weapon that de-materializes and compresses the target into a small container inside the weapon. The contained target can later be decompressed in a secure location. The weight of the weapon has required a major rebuild of the basic hero frame.

With the new mini-robot it is easy to give any of your mini-figs a cool upgrade. Here both Wild Style and Mia have gotten their true hero status ready to fight any micro manager or superglue mogul. Hero Factory 2014 rules!!!

The new Hero Factory episode

Our 22 minutes Hero Factory episode is finally ready for viewing. We are happy and proud of this fast paced piece of action presenting the entire HF product line of 2014 in one coherent story. Would have loved it to be longer but that spot was taken by another LEGO movie:)

Hero Factory MOCs on location

While we wait for the new 2014 story to air take a look at these 2 "homemade" sceneries from previous years with hero MOCs placed in the different environments of the commercials. 

The first picture shows a group of heroes waiting to be picked up on the jungle planet. 

The other picture shows 3 secret Special Ops heroes moving into the abandoned prison after the big escape.Here is a detail shot of the MOC with the funny face. There is perfect room for a minfig in the "cockpit" so for fun Han Solo is trying out a HF power up:)
