User blog comment:Chicken Bond/BIONICLE's Return?/@comment-876769-20140708081705

Okay, I hope this is true. Desparately. However, I can't comment on the authenticity of the image in question, because I've been staring at it for twenty minutes now and some bits seem legit, and some are a bit suspect, so I can't make a proper judgement.

What I do like is that it seems to go back to the mysterious, rustic, Oceanic aesthetics of '01, which is exciting. That was one of the things that drew me into BIONICLE in the first place, was this tropical island and all these fantastically wild locations, this weird mask-magic and all the elements, and every character had a tremendous personality and sense of soul...but the fact they were machines added another level of intrigue. What we can see in the image is something that looks very Kini Nui-ish, with a new mask or a totem as the series' MacGuffin that reminds me of the original Doo-Heads concept (what BIONICLE was originally intended to be) and then the obvious hints of Visorak and Makuta on the right. It also helps that the figure on the left looks a lot like Tahu Nuva.

Those are some of my thoughts. I'm not holding my breath for a return, but I desparately want it to happen. If it's true, we'll find out sometime between now and September.
