I was never satisfied with the 08 nuva, only ever got Lewa and Pohatu. All of the toa just felt too detached from their prior forms. I’ve also been slowly acquiring the silver nuva masks, and decided that they deserved to be used rather than just put on a shelf.
When I can find them, I think I’ll give Pohatu his steel-toes for a little more connection to his 02 build, initially he had his climbing claws but the phantoka heli-blades/spear fit more with this scale imo
Still waiting to find a good deal on the silver akaku, and not sure that I’m fully satisfied with Kopaka. Perhaps his shield would help him feel a little more complete
Hope you all like them and would love to hear what anyone thinks could be improved!
I think the shield on Kopaka is definitely the play, and overall these are great! They feel and look super set like and come across petty cohesive. Though I do wonder what some of them would look like with those lower Metru limb pieces swapped out for some different ones to add some verity. Maybe Hordika lower legs for Kopaka, Piraka lower legs for Gali, and Jaller Mhari lower legs for Tahu? The one downside would be mounting that shin armor might me kind of tough on some of them.
@ElephantKnight
Thank you! I could have sworn I’d seen other mocs with the same idea, but came up empty when I looked.
@Rhyla416
They were actually the first 2 I built! I got a good deal on the kaukau then picked up the miru due to it being the cheapest of the 6. I refuse to pay what most people ask for these things haha
@Senit
Thanks! Admittedly they took up a large portion of my lego budget over the last year or so
@TheMOCingbird
Im debating using his white shield or trying to do something in grey.
The cohesion was mostly why I chose the limbs I did, 3 with the metru legs, 3 with vahki/metru. I personally really dislike the hordika legs, I did initially experiment with a few different combinations on gali and lewa, the piraka legs would probably work best of those
