  thank you for your reply.
The content of the work is my original work.
This is not a derivative work.
The same goes for the characters that appear.

One thing to be concerned about is that since parts from the Bionicle and Hero
Factory series are used, the designs of those parts themselves may have intellectual
property rights.

I have attached an image as an example.
The armor on the shoulders, chest, and arms are from the Hero Factory series.
Does the armor design itself have copyright or intellectual property rights?

I think it is fine. It is allowed to build a MOC out of LEGO pieces and to sell
the MOC (or instructions to build it) even if the LEGO pieces themselves are
the intellectual property of the LEGO Group.

It is like an artist making a painting. Even if the paint used by the artist
is the intellectual property of the paint company, it is okay to sell the painting.

I like build my own canvases out of LEGO bricks. It's my signature style.
