Who is Gendu?
Toa Gendu is a character I created (very similar to my other character Rill) for a high school project. The whole idea was to create a toy, and that's exactly what I'd done! I 3D Printed an entire Lego Bionicle figure (with custom parts) and while I'm not the proudest of that I still think he's neat.
Toa Gendu was created after Makuta had been vanquished by Mata Nui and peace lives on on the planet of Spherus Magna. Toa and Matoran lived together, but eventually a long, harsh winter befell the planet. Toa Gendu lives to help villagers across the planet, using his water and ice elements to bring them help.
While I added the ending to that story (as I'd originally left it open ended ala classic Lego), that story was always what I had in mind. I have remade the figures of Gendu twice, once by replacing a few of the 3D Printed pieces with official Lego equivelants, and a second time with a full remake of him, with my Lego MOCing expertise.
