Now hear me out on this one. True the original set does look nice the way it does, though it felt a little generic if you will, just another very tall humanoid baddie. Instead I used up the pieces I got from the partially complete set I bought to tweak on him a little. Though to be honest the main drive for that came from back in 2015 when I pretty much finished the MOC, this counting as the last MOC of 2015 for me still (just needed 1 more friction piece for the leg), you see my job at that car part store (the name’s Unix if it says anything to anyone) decided to fire me a day before Christmas, plus I still had a week left from my try-out too. So you can imagine I was a bit pissed off, but I managed to channel my emotions into building and after a while I got this guy. I may switch out a few lift arm pieces to white though, then again the white armor pieces on him now are like those fur clothing pieces on Shamans and Witch Doctors, same for his back, giving him a sort of cloak if you will. But what I probably like the most are the Toa Mata heads used on him as shrunken heads. He also has a gear function at the waist, a little something I thought I add just for fun.
The design doesn’t really resemble the original set, but this is an interesting take. I really like the chained Mata heads and spiked details.
Really the biggest problem I have with this MOC is that the torso looks very blocky, especially in the shoulder area. It really brings an otherwise terrific creation down a few pegs.
This is a really nice revamp! I really like how Witch Doctor came out, especially the custom torso, and I like his little assistant. Reminds me of Maxilos and Spinnax.
