Description In his hunger for power, Zero Star (chosen name for my personal MOC ) dove down into the deep dark sea in order to meet the makuta Chiriko . This is the reult of their meeting. Zero Star absorbed Chiriko and became Deep Star.

The creation:
As the text above says: I took Chiriko apart in order to create this one. I basically did that because I got some new glowing parts and I tought I could create something better than Chiriko, so I started from the scratch again.
And to sum that up:
I used four Takadox heads, two Gadunka heads, one Nocturn head, thirteen glowing Hydruka back plates and some other glowing details parts.

Creators Notes:
I'm damn proud of this! It took me quite some time to get everything the right way. I started with the head, which was done pretty fast. The upper torso with upper arms took some time, because I had to pay attention to the moveability of the arms. The lower arms took also some time, but now I'm quite satisfied. The lower torso gave me headaches, because it was too unstable at first, so I just made everything a bit thicker to make it more stable. I really like the legs, they only took me a day, but they came out quite well in my opinion.
Oh yeah, and he's glowing in the dark as seen in the first two pictures. I really love his eyes in the first picture, they look totally psycho xD

Oh, I love this MOC! You used the Gadunka heads beautifully without making him look overly bulky, and the texture is perfect. It'd be nice to see some more glowing pieces on the legs, but their shape totally makes up for that

I originally intended to put some glowing parts on the legs, but then they worked out so well without them that I didn't want to destroy those shapes by forcingg glowing parts on them.

Great one!
By the way: Who is taller? Zero Star or Deep Star?
Will Deep Star get a vehicle too, if you get more glowing parts?

Alex-Darkrai In reply to Nazgul4 [2012-01-02 12:33:28 +0000 UTC]

No! I won't make a second vehicle xD
That just takes to many parts
I think Deep Star is taller, but I'm not sure ... but he should be taller, shouldn't he?

Nazgul4 In reply to Alex-Darkrai [2012-01-02 13:05:41 +0000 UTC]

I don't know. When it comes to power and size, than I think (since he absorbed Chiriko), he should be taller.
Did this fusion change his personality?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Alex-Darkrai In reply to Nazgul4 [2012-01-02 17:56:01 +0000 UTC]

It is no real fusion in my opinion, he just absorbed his power.
It's like the body has changed but the mind is still the same.

Nazgul4 In reply to Alex-Darkrai [2012-01-02 17:58:19 +0000 UTC]

So he can absorb powers...?
Great! That means there are more different versions to come^^

Yeah, I wanted to make one for every barraki color.
I just hope it won't get to boring to see 'the same' every time.

I think this is spot on. By the looks of it you have successfully combined perfect asthetics and movement. I am wholly impressed with this. The extention of the shin is brilliant yet so simple, and the piston attatchment seems to fit, which i might say is hard to achieve. Beutiful work

Alex-Darkrai In reply to Bionic-Kitty [2012-01-02 17:54:02 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I had no stand for my camera so I needed fix it somehow, because any shaking would make the picture blurry.

getting a tripod DEFINITELY helps or even just stacking things up as a stand for ur camera helps too

Once again, you have your usual great build and building style, amazingly consistent and solid color scheme, and it shows that all that parts acquisition is really paying off for you. I actually not the biggest fan of the mahri glow in the dark parts. I've got Takadox and nocturn, but no gadunka. I want to use those parts simply because you and Aiden have, and I feel like I gotta present something with them as well. I really like the legs on this though. I once again have parts envy because of you. hehe.

Alex-Darkrai In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2012-01-02 12:38:49 +0000 UTC]

I got ALL of the glowing parts through the very few ebay offers I bought. I just looked for parts which I don't have. Sadly I was only able to get one Nocturn, but I don't need more anyways.

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Alex-Darkrai [2012-01-02 21:02:58 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. We always come back to the topic of the ebay offer. I never see those go for just a few dolars over here. By the end of the auction its like $20 or more+shipping.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Alex-Darkrai In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2012-01-02 21:34:32 +0000 UTC]

I can't help you with that
I think most americans sell their parts over bricklink, because all the good parts are always sold by american or canadian sellers when I search for them. That's why I rarely buy parts there and the reason why I have to look through ebay and the reason why I have to ask people for golden bohrok shields (on bricklink, they're only sold by americans and canadians)

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Alex-Darkrai [2012-01-02 23:38:40 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, we do seem to have the largest market. But we're also two really really big countries. Where as the various European countries are more the size of our states. When you set your market setting to regional, how far does it go? For me, I get the US and Canada. So I may be getting a whole lot more actual regions than you might be...just a though.

Our ebay sells go for more though. I do find a lot of offers on ebay for parts lots, but they star out higher than your offers do. Like I just found an offer that's only going for $1.50, but they're asking $20's shipping. Maybe americans know its worth something to someone. I don't know what it is.

Alex-Darkrai In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2012-01-03 12:55:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that could be the reason xD
Most people here just want to seller stuff they don't and at least get some money from it

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Alex-Darkrai [2012-01-04 02:55:27 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. I think that's it, different mentality of it. Do you think legos are more popular here than there? I've always wondered that. Cause Legos are Dutch so they're from Europe. Hmmm Wonder what the statistics for that are.

Alex-Darkrai In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2012-01-04 12:31:38 +0000 UTC]

I really have no idea ... I know that some set were sold in america but not here (Irnakk was one of those, I think)
So maybe some lego products are more popular in america than here in europe
