Some collaborations assemble a spaceship. Others assemble the squad that saves the island. Eero Okkonen’s A Toa of Ice belongs to the latter school: a character build created for a six-Toa BIONICLE collaboration. Cue the canister-opening nostalgia.
I’m a sucker for this premise. Giving individual builders an elemental brief leaves room for personal interpretation while keeping everyone connected by a shared world. Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Ice appear among the linked entries in Okkonen’s description, making this one worth exploring as part of the team rather than a solo side quest. Yes, I would absolutely click through the whole lineup before getting back to work.
Okkonen, an AFOL from Tampere, Finland, also shares build information on his Cyclopic Bricks blog. That’s another rabbit hole for the reading list. For now, consider this your invitation to revisit BIONICLE’s elemental playground—with a collaborative twist and a suitably frosty assignment.
