Tahu Minifigure - Brickonicle Concept Art

Did you draw inspiration from the Miramax movies? The blue bits and the head remind me of them.

@Nexusnui Sure! It’d be great if you posted pictures, see if it looks good in real life. I do have to warn you though, the template I used for the minifig isn’t completely accurate, so you might have trouble on some of the proportions.
@BBricks If someone made a 3D print of this I’d feel obligated to buy it. Oh well.
@Leoxandar Yup! I also didn’t really notice until yesterday, but another subconcious inspiration was Lego Batman’s cowl. It’s basically the same concept, just applied to a Toa head and mask.

@Ragdoll here it is on a real minifigure:



I also had an idea for the head:
It could be a transparent one with print

This is absolutely amazing.

Wow, that actually looks pretty good.

As for the translucent head, I did think about it, but I couldn’t think of a way to implement it without getting rid of the alternate face on the back and having a hole on the back of his mask. Otherwise he’d have no light piping to give him glowy-eyes.
Maybe there is a way to do it that I havent though of though… idunnow.

Maybe a dual-molded mask ?

Beautiful. I kinda wish I had something like this as a kid.

I love the concept, and the building instructions was a nice touch, but my only gripe is that I think the hands should be red, as that’s what color they were in his nuva form, but that’s really a nitpick. Great drawing and I hope to see the other toa like this.

That’s awesome. It’s a good sign that reading and seeing all this really really makes me want to get back to my custom minifigure collection. :smiley:

this is pretty perfect for a toa minifig

With appropriate masks and actual modern Lego prints, those Toa would look absolutely wonderful.

Wow, these are REALLY GOOD.
You did a pretty great job at translating the Uniters into minifigures, even with the Breez helmet where you took the time to paint them and give them the crystals on the back.

I really recomend that you make a new topic for these, since that way they will probably get a lot more exposure than here.

This is an amazing concept for a Tahu minifigure! I definitely would like to 3D model the parts that need to be modeled when I get the time, when the projects that I am currently have been working on, which shouldn’t take too long. I say that I may be able to start working on it in a day or so, or when I get the time to as I currently have a 3 day weekend currently to utilize.

That is AWESOME! The attention to detail is amazing!

How’s this for the sword that you have designed?

That looks fantastic. I can only see one possible issue, which is that something about where the handle and the hilt connect seems off to me. Although this IS coming from someone who does 3D modeling very casually, so take it with a grain of the Overwatch community (salt). Otherwise, its amazing!
