I tried to go for the mentality of “What if they were a $30 set instead of a $25 set?”
Melum looks like he just got an important phone call in the middle of a photoshoot
Finally I painted my Umarak jaw in gold.

that gold paint looks so good
the upper legs a little bit skinny, but it looks awesome none the less
uh… xD
it looks nice though
how did you connect the horns? I need to know because im trying this myself.
The blue pins extend out to the length of the 7L axle that was originally there, so the connection is the same as the original set. The horns are assembled the same way UtD Vanilla were made.
I meant the whole connection. I tried using a 4l lightsaber rod, but i didnt know that you did for the rest.
You mean the parts that make the jaw posable? A technic connector (6536 on bricklink) connected to a 3L Axle with Stud and Half bushing replace the technic connectors on both sides. The blue pins attach to the lightsaber rod on their pin sides.
This fix, admittedly, assumes that there would be horns attached to the head, as such without modification this mod is optimized for UtD and Lava Beast.
Nice, i like it! Seems a bit more like a revamp than a mod though
the core construction, mostly, is the same, all I changed really was the legs, but yea your probably right.
I dont really like the legs, it makes it look like his butt is lower than it should be.
I see where your coming from, I’ll change the awkward legs.
That moment when you predicted the future with that Ketar Mod.
(Cause concept art stole your idea)
Nice revamp! However, I think this should be in the Mods to the 2016 Sets topic.
It screams samurai more than ninja imo, its nice though
I agree with BrokenAxels that it looks more Samurai than Ninja.
The overall build could use some improvements, such as how the axles connecting the shoulders to the body are completely bare from the back, I think if you covered that up with at least something it would do the back some good.
I also think that the “sheaths” on the waist are a little bit awkward and bare. Nothing immediate comes to mind, but I feel that there could be a better method to hang those swords on the waist.
Overall, the design is nice for what it is (if you can get past a bulkier build for a Lewa), it only needs a few tweaks to fix it up. As it stands, I think it is a little too cluttered when he’s loaded up with all of his weapons at once.
