zachary seiders Well, he does have some nice parts (That's the only reason why I got him.). Although, after messing around with him, I'm surprised at how much fun it is to play around with the tail function.
that is another factor of skull scorpio, his tail is the main redeeming quality of him. That and his pincers look rather nice in comparison to older scorpion like sets/ set combos that look like a scorpion. Still a good sign if the "worst" unit in this reboot atm is just.... plain. (no I am not being sarcastic)
Lego: Ok we messed up Skull Scorpio and its not selling well, suggestions on how to increase sales? Employee: Combine it with the most popular set to make a great build so people buy Skull Scorpio to make the combo build! Lego: BRILLIANT!
Most popular? SG vs E is a shelf warmer.. no one wants to drop 30$ on him . I bought him for 23$ on clearance yesterday ^~^ heck I bought everything on clearance. Kopaka for 13$ Onua for 12 , all the skulls for 10 , And every one else for 9$ with the exeption of tahu who i bought for 18$
Hasn't anyone ever thought that Kulta just could have used the Mask of Creation to use parts of Skull Scorpio to add on to himself like how Teridax used Krekka, Nidhiki, and Nivawk to make himself larger? Just a thought thaf came to me after watching this.
Such a satisfying model, reminds me of the good old days. I just wish they will introduce the Titans to this line soon. Great review as always, keep it up
This is what a combiner should be in my eyes, it truly is greater than the sum of its parts. its evil presence and stature is quite awe-inspiring, certainly much more so than the already solid Kulta. This is definitely how I imagined a proper Titan would be built and look like for this line. I'm a bit miffed that I had to sacrifice Ekimu for this beast, but I just need to take one look towards my shelf, and it all feels worth it.
Now that's a fusion worth my time to make. I do like the way it looks and I might keep it that way for reasons. I hope Lego makes fusions like this more often.
It's interesting to see that the first images of this combiner had the gold plating around the chest turned inwards rather than outwards. I think the way they eventually decided to go about it looks much better and makes for an extremely solid chest build.
Hey man, i just want to let you know that this was a very good review. I dont normally watch reviews and stuff like that, but you had a very relaxed atmosphere, and your voice is calm and soothing, which differs from many of other reviewers. Anyways keep up the good work :)
In Keanu Reeves fashion- All I could say os "Whoa". This is a really impressive combo. Awesome work, Jang! This looks really cool and should've been the actual Skull Grinder set!
As per usual, excellent review. I am curious to know if you've ever received backlash for the minor differences (if any) that may have appeared in these combination models after the instructions have launched?
TTV Eljay Thanks man. Backlash? Well yeah, because Internet :D One small piece offset by one hole? "Video is pointless" or "Should have waited [a month] for the official instructions before doing this video," etc. Unsubscribed. :p
JANGBRiCKS Hahah, that's true! Anything less than perfection and it doesn't matter if you're reviewing a 14k Gold Mask or the oldest Duplo set around. Heck, even if your finger nails aren't trimmed - it's all downhill from there. Thanks for the reply, and thanks for the reviews! Your quality is really great.
JANGBRiCKS From what I can remember, I've managed to avoid them for the most part. Although, I believe in late December, another reviewer did a review of Gali: Master of Water and was one of the earliest reviews of her online. He had unfortunately let his finger nails grow fairly long, and.... I felt so bad for him. ;-; I don't think many even commented on his observations of the set. Been cautious ever since!
KCFilms back in the day, LEGO sets always came with at least a couple of alternate builds. They never, except for technic, came with instructions so if you wanted to build them you had to be good. Jang is older than me, so i guess he is used to it a lot more than my generation or yours.
I think the horns on both skull grinder (Kulta) and the combiner are really fun/interesting, because you can knock the mask of with a frontel assault now by uppercutting his face! :D
This is really cool, the legs are so solid! I feel like the gold and blue kinda clash with the color scheme, but everything else is very nice! The only reason I would get the scorpion is so I could make the combination! :D
Same here, Xenneth. I would love to make this model, he looks like some kind of minion of Makuta and if we get a Makuta set, I would love to build two of these!
Just want to give admiration in you're reconstruction ability, I've see posts on r/bioniclelego that had some detail shots, and it still took me hours to figure out how to do it, and you only had the front image
This looks amazing! A thing that I wanna try doing is making the Toa Kaita combination models like how they had with the Toa Mata so they're evenly matched with each other.
I love this combo model, except for the trans blue on the arms. However, I know there isn't too much to be done, as it's meant to be a combo from just those sets
Jang, using parts from Skull Grinder, Skull Scorpio, Skull Basher, Lord of Skull Spiders and The Mask of Creation, you should make a large creature based off of the beloved Makuta Teridax!
I would love to see you do Mega combination out of all the Skull models or maybe one of all the toa. I would be really cool to see what you would come up with.
I'm really hoping the combo models are a hint at the possibility of titans in the new Bionicle series. At the very least they prove that the CCBS system can be used to make titan-style figures and these are some really neat combos too.
His legs remind me of Makuta from the movies, which is pretty neat. It would be really cool if there was a way to make this set without sacrificing Ekimu. :D
I wonder how (or even if) this will make it into the story. Grinder + Scorpio is easy to explain but poor Ekimu if he's going to get parts of him caught up in this
wow, this combiner is really cool! keep up the good work, jang because I know you work really hard to get these vids out. P.S. do you think we'll ever get any Titans? I.E. brutaka, tuma, etc
Now that's a cool combination model! I love it! :D While I did think the whole powered-up Toa thing with the Protector's weapons was kind of neat, they were not even close to being combination models. This on the other hand is one of the best official combination models done in CCBS to date in my opinion. It definitely has some classic Bionicle elements to it, while bringing some new things to the table. Once I get these sets, I'll definitely build this! I hope we get more titan-sized sets or combination models like this in the future. By the way Jang, do you plan on building and reviewing the official combination model between Skull Basher, Warrior, and Slicer?
Thx a lot for sharing, Jang, great work. Overall this combiner looks inpressive. But there is one flaw (which is not your fault) and i will hold on to that: the arms are too small.
Speaking of combiners, I would to see you Jang attempt the toa kaita. I know there is no official models for them but I'd just like to see your interpretation of them.
I had to say that IVE SEEN SOME SCARY STUFF RIGHT NOW CAUSE A NEW POLYESTER BIONICLE BAG THING CAME OUT AND IT HAS A SKULL HEINDER REGULAR MASK BUT ITS GOLDEN AND I SAW A PICTURE IN 3D OF THE 6 HEROS BUT THEY ALL LOOKED LIKE REAL ROBOTS
When i first see this combininer its like the skull grinder puts the mask of creation then turn himself the powerful unstopable character With the help of skull scorpio and he becomes lord of skull darkness
So is this or the original skull grinder better for display and play? Cause this looks cooler, but not sure if it is actually better, and not sure how the giant weapon holds up.
Now THIS is a Bionicle combination model! It certainly is better than the "power up modes" the Toa had. Thanks for the great reviews, by the way!
Finally! A combo model worth building and admiring at!
Lyea i agree with ya
+Shade2800 the only reason you get skull scorpio in the first place.
zachary seiders Well, he does have some nice parts (That's the only reason why I got him.). Although, after messing around with him, I'm surprised at how much fun it is to play around with the tail function.
that is another factor of skull scorpio, his tail is the main redeeming quality of him.

(no I am not being sarcastic)
I'll be completely honest, this is combiner is my favourite thing in the second wave. It looks really good. More of this please!

Ha ha. Turn Down For What.
Lego: Ok we messed up Skull Scorpio and its not selling well, suggestions on how to increase sales?
Employee: Combine it with the most popular set to make a great build so people buy Skull Scorpio to make the combo build!
Lego: BRILLIANT!
+Zain Xplain :) Except this combo model was designed before either Skull Grinder Scorpio were even revealed to the public, much less went on sale :)
+JANGBRiCKS Emergency measure?
Without skull scorpio's failure, we may never have had a good set.
Most popular? SG vs E is a shelf warmer.. no one wants to drop 30$ on him . I bought him for 23$ on clearance yesterday ^~^ heck I bought everything on clearance. Kopaka for 13$ Onua for 12 , all the skulls for 10 , And every one else for 9$ with the exeption of tahu who i bought for 18$
i bought him right away but i do feel silly for not waiting
4:50
"I don't know what you'd turn those down for"
........
TURN DOWN FOR WHAT!?!?!?
MLG Flash He's done that in a bunch of his videos.
I'm new to the channel. :P
oh man, Kulta XL is looking pretty good...
* *awaits for mean anti-HF comments while giggling intensely* *
NU BONKLE IZSH BETR ERYUN KNOES DAT!.....CCBS WIL NEVR BEE ES EDVN-EDVAN--EDVANKED AS OLD BONKLE!
Hasn't anyone ever thought that Kulta just could have used the Mask of Creation to use parts of Skull Scorpio to add on to himself like how Teridax used Krekka, Nidhiki, and Nivawk to make himself larger? Just a thought thaf came to me after watching this.

This combiner is pretty much my only reason to buy Scorpio.
This is brobably the best ccbs combo so far and it makes sense from a story perspective. They actually provided a good reason to get scorpio.
Hey man, i just want to let you know that this was a very good review. I dont normally watch reviews and stuff like that, but you had a very relaxed atmosphere, and your voice is calm and soothing, which differs from many of other reviewers. Anyways keep up the good work :)
I like the old Bionicle more.
In Keanu Reeves fashion- All I could say os "Whoa". This is a really impressive combo. Awesome work, Jang! This looks really cool and should've been the actual Skull Grinder set!
this thing has a feeling that it demands respect and that you should kneel or it will kill you
I love this model!I envision it as the Skull Grinder's form if he got his hands on the mask of creation.Now I need to buy two of each set to make it!
Seeing this build gives out more ideas of Titan building,
just need the instructions to know the basics.
EVERY THING IS AWESOME YOU AND YOUR LEGO IDEAS:)
It should be called Lord Kulta.
Now that is cool looking! well done
As per usual, excellent review. I am curious to know if you've ever received backlash for the minor differences (if any) that may have appeared in these combination models after the instructions have launched?
TTV Eljay Thanks man. Backlash? Well yeah, because Internet :D One small piece offset by one hole? "Video is pointless" or "Should have waited [a month] for the official instructions before doing this video," etc. Unsubscribed. :p

TTV Eljay You've gotten the fingernail comments too eh? LOL!
TTV Eljay Did you see my video?
JANGBRiCKS From what I can remember, I've managed to avoid them for the most part. Although, I believe in late December, another reviewer did a review of Gali: Master of Water and was one of the earliest reviews of her online. He had unfortunately let his finger nails grow fairly long, and.... I felt so bad for him. ;-; I don't think many even commented on his observations of the set. Been cautious ever since!
The best bionicle/construction combiner since 2008
This is pretty cool. Reminds me of Makuta from 03.
Wow Jang you must be pretty good to make a set based of the pictures. :)
KCFilms back in the day, LEGO sets always came with at least a couple of alternate builds. They never, except for technic, came with instructions so if you wanted to build them you had to be good. Jang is older than me, so i guess he is used to it a lot more than my generation or yours.
Yup, take a look at some of the instructions from older sets. I have plenty that have alternative builds on the back of the instructions.
NOW THIS IS SOMETHING I WOULD BUY.
I think the horns on both skull grinder (Kulta) and the combiner are really fun/interesting, because you can knock the mask of with a frontel assault now by uppercutting his face! :D
LEGO should call this thing king kulta. That would be epic!
This is really cool, the legs are so solid! I feel like the gold and blue kinda clash with the color scheme, but everything else is very nice! The only reason I would get the scorpion is so I could make the combination! :D
Xenneth Productions And pohatu's mask.
Same here, Xenneth. I would love to make this model, he looks like some kind of minion of Makuta and if we get a Makuta set, I would love to build two of these!
Yeah! :D
You NEEEEEEED to assemble all of them
Kind of looks like something I could use the instructions for to make something even more epic. But I don't know what yet.
KING KULTA!!!!!! that is a great name for the combo model
also take the friction extenders from the legs not the feet and put them on the elbow joint
I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to be Makuta himself,
he sure looks like one powerful bad guy, that's for sure.
Nice Video Jang I have watched all you videos
This is probably the only reason I would get the skull Scorpio set...
;)
Just want to give admiration in you're reconstruction ability, I've see posts on r/bioniclelego that had some detail shots, and it still took me hours to figure out how to do it, and you only had the front image
Wow those legs are done like the Toa Nuva Kaita! (Maybe the mata as well but I didn't have them)
This looks amazing! A thing that I wanna try doing is making the Toa Kaita combination models like how they had with the Toa Mata so they're evenly matched with each other.
It's beautiful
1:40 science with jang!
You did it correct!!
It's actually really good now that I think about It
Lol he said "these can turn down, but I don't know for what"
so awesome I really like your channel
Your almost at 400,000 subscribers!
I love this combo model, except for the trans blue on the arms. However, I know there isn't too much to be done, as it's meant to be a combo from just those sets
Munchell360 ya
Munchell360 Well, considering he's wearing the Mask of Creation...
+Crimson Flame I wonder what mask makuta comes with, (or whatever his name will be) that ultimate power one or normal, or could be both like ekimu
Jang, using parts from Skull Grinder, Skull Scorpio, Skull Basher, Lord of Skull Spiders and The Mask of Creation, you should make a large creature based off of the beloved Makuta Teridax!
I'd probably take out the blue and green bits and replace them by red/orange. I think that would look amazing!
it looks cool
Cool set
I would love to see you do Mega combination out of all the Skull models or maybe one of all the toa. I would be really cool to see what you would come up with.
I wasn't going to buy Skull Scorpio because I hate its design, but I love this combination so much, I might have to!
how sick
I managed to build it yesterday without the instructions as well.
I almost built it the same way you did :D
0_0 wow that is awsome jang
I'm really hoping the combo models are a hint at the possibility of titans in the new Bionicle series. At the very least they prove that the CCBS system can be used to make titan-style figures and these are some really neat combos too.
His legs remind me of Makuta from the movies, which is pretty neat. It would be really cool if there was a way to make this set without sacrificing Ekimu. :D
I really hope, that LEGO will release Titan sets in the future, like they did for Gen 1. That might be cool. Expensive too, yes, but cool.
We want the Toa Kaita!! Really hope the Toa receive the combination treatment they deserve.
Cool vid ☺ 😊
I wonder how (or even if) this will make it into the story. Grinder + Scorpio is easy to explain but poor Ekimu if he's going to get parts of him caught up in this
I feel like this set would look even cooler with the red variant of Umarak's mask.
What the ? Woah he is so coooooool and big
Best titan.
Awesome
wow, this combiner is really cool! keep up the good work, jang because I know you work really hard to get these vids out. P.S. do you think we'll ever get any Titans? I.E. brutaka, tuma, etc
Now that's a cool combination model! I love it! :D
While I did think the whole powered-up Toa thing with the Protector's weapons was kind of neat, they were not even close to being combination models. This on the other hand is one of the best official combination models done in CCBS to date in my opinion.

I hope we get more titan-sized sets or combination models like this in the future.
By the way Jang, do you plan on building and reviewing the official combination model between Skull Basher, Warrior, and Slicer?
I could imagine that this is Makuta's new form.
I'd say he'd be called: Kulta the lord of the skulls
he looks like he would be able to defeat all of the uniter caricters with the creatures fused to them all at once
I think the spines are supposed to be bony wings and maybe move in different directions maybe it will clarify when the official instructions come out
So big
That weapon is insaine
Great review as always jang but if u could add a look at the parts left over it would be cool
I would call it the Skull Creator to keep it in line with the others
Skull king
Ohwow
Thx a lot for sharing, Jang, great work. Overall this combiner looks inpressive. But there is one flaw (which is not your fault) and i will hold on to that: the arms are too small.
Turn down... for what?
lol
*starts dancing*
Hey Jang, when's the Mammoth's Frozen Stronghold review coming up? The speedbuild came out 4 days ago.
"You can *turn these down, for what* I don't know"
*TURN DOWN FOR WHAT*
did you do that on purpose?
Speaking of combiners, I would to see you Jang attempt the toa kaita. I know there is no official models for them but I'd just like to see your interpretation of them.
You are amaizing
I swear if they call this Makuta...
Now THATS a titan set
Quick question, we're there any spare pieces left?
this combination almost reminds me of takanuva and makuta's combination
Could we see the parts that were left over from Takutanuva- I mean this combimer?
I had to say that IVE SEEN SOME SCARY STUFF RIGHT NOW CAUSE A NEW POLYESTER BIONICLE BAG THING CAME OUT AND IT HAS A SKULL HEINDER REGULAR MASK BUT ITS GOLDEN AND I SAW A PICTURE IN 3D OF THE 6 HEROS BUT THEY ALL LOOKED LIKE REAL ROBOTS
When i first see this combininer its like the skull grinder puts the mask of creation then turn himself the powerful unstopable character
With the help of skull scorpio and he becomes lord of skull darkness
So is this or the original skull grinder better for display and play? Cause this looks cooler, but not sure if it is actually better, and not sure how the giant weapon holds up.
Where do you get the new bionicle sets? I cant find them anywhere
Internet? I guess
In *_the store_*.
CommanderJSgamer They're out in Europe and can be ordered from Amazon.
BossRunner456 Cool
Will you be making the chibi versions of the skull villains like you did the heroes?
So now that the official release of the instructoins are out, how did yours come out?
Cool I like all of your. build and can u show how u built it
I think that good name for this guy is Skull(or Mask) Demon(or Devil)
Take a video of the whole collection of Lego Bionicle 2015!! And first half and second!
Please!!
Have You Heard Of The Bionicle 2016 Sets
Was the "Turn down for what" pun intended?
Ye
