Some LEGO elements are easy to upsize, and some are a nightmare of odd angles and complex shapes that defy common techniques. This was a challenge ToM Dracone (@yannickbuildsthings) was up for, though, as this super-sized Bionicle Toa head is a spot-on likeness. I’m particularly fond of the eye ridge/side of the head angling. This statue also has a great base, with sandy colors and greenery that harken back to the Island of Mata Nui. The gold Hau mask helps provide a sense of scale, making this head feel like a massive totem on the shoreline.

I was at the 2018 LEGO Inside Tour and won 1st place in one of the competitions.
My prize was a bust that looks very similar.

@Ronny – That’s a cool alternate take on an upscale! Very different construction, too. (I see the designer is Milan Madge – pretty neat!)

@Ronny – Heh. I was just editing my comment when you replied. Thanks!
