Pridak’s lower arms – a metru shin or a vahki shin would have looked just fine there, instead of those cursed nuva limbs
The Toa Metru’s shoulders – there is a much easier way they could have done to allow for greater mobility by placing a ball joint next to the bushing and connecting a Y joint to the lower axle hole on the smaller connector piece (1 pinhole) with a size 2 axle. This method would have still kept the gear function. A similar method could have been used to give Skull Scorpio articulate legs
True, but 2/3 of those titans used the head in new ways, Roodaka and Krekka had the base head, and modified it off of that, Nidhiki was the only one with a plain oh Vahki head.
Also, give a few more organic-looking body elements, armor plates, and a non-translucent head mold to the Glatorians + Agoris! (They could’ve re-used the barraki shells in some new color variants on them and maybe added a few new ones to broaden the range of those parts, IMO.)
I think it would have been cool if Tuma’s helmet were designed in the same way as the Skrall swords; instead of having stickers on the helmet, have a molded Lime insert with open space around it.
Granted, this would have been a fairly complex mold, so I’m hesitant to call it a bad set decision, but I still think it’s a missed opportunity nonetheless.
I think it was a bad design choice to replace the Glatorian head on Hero Factory with the 2.0/3.0 head. They stopped the two-pin connection after one year, and went back to an axle connection, so it would have made sense to just use the axle. Plus the animations all gave characters Glatorian heads, so they could have stuck with that for accuracy.
For what it’s worth, I like that the new CCBS head design was really designed for the CCBS system. I’m particularly referring to the fact that the helmets connected the same way as the armour add-ons, allowing for the helmets to be connected to shells in some cases.
Minor thing, but it always bugged me how some of the Toa Mata/Nuva (namely Tahu and Lewa and to an extent Pohatu), and by extension the Turaga, had eye colors that matched their main colors and as a result didn’t contrast very much.
The Bohrok and later Toa Metru eye colors were a vast improvement, and I honestly wish they’d stuck with some variation on those instead of just making everyone green or orange like they did from then onward.
I really don’t understand why Mistika Tahu got black sockets (hands, ankles, neck). Making them red looks much better and gives him more of his elemental color.
This, so much of this!
