Huh. Didn’t see that coming. In all seriousness, he has pretty good balance and articulation, although sadly one of his ankles is a little loose. Old parts…
Another goal I had was to make him able to hold his disk launcher on his back, and I managed to not only do that, but to also give him a way to store his sword too!
And we’ll finish off with the obligatory Nyran-Shot.
This was a fun little build and, once I finish some other projects, I might consider doing another Toa. In the meantime, comments & criticism is welcome, and have a nice day.
I tried using just grey and metru red at first, but it looked too bland to me. Then I tried to go with the movie’s interpretation where he has orange as an extra color, but it stood out way too much and just didn’t look good. Mata red was the only color I liked in the end.
@Saxton I agree with the Slizer foot, but unfortunately, due to the way it is constructed, that simply can not be done.
I disagree on the mata red, for reasons already stated, however, looking over my pictures, I’ve notice that my camera made it look a little pink-ish. I think if you saw the moc in person, you’d like it more.
And with the axles on his arms, I 100% agree, and have considered cutting them to get a better overall look.
Mmm, not feeling the Mata red, but…[quote=“Silver_Falcon, post:5, topic:24956, full:true”]

You speak truth. I think that Mata red was the best option. Orange and dark grey just look ugly together for some reason. That being said, the only thing I would change here would be the chest armor. That Mata hand looks a little off.
Otherwise, I really like this. It captures the look of Vakama Metru very well. I especially like the arms, they do a good job of looking like the arms the set had.
Really like it, however, like many before me have said, the inclusion of the mata red is not something than I’m too fond of. But, it’s still looks great!
I personally am fine with the Mata red, just not in such a heavy concentration as it is on the chest. Here and there to maybe highlight the joints is perfectly fine for me.
