Can I ask why all the Toa, barring Onua, have friction adders on their feet? Like, were they not tall enough already?

You said it yourself. Friction.

The toa have real world proportions is what i got out of this, because previous images didn’t highlight it for me.
BUT SRSLY THE TOA CAN PROPORTIONING
sorry for spam just needed to get that off my chest, if leaks topic was open I would have posted it there as to not clutter this topic, but oh well.
Anyway, I think the toa do look really good like this, especially onua, who looks 5 times better than the other leaks make him out to be.

Was that…was that a problem with the 2015 sets?

I don’t remember who it was that said it, but I remember seeing someone around here mention earlier that it was probably so they’d stay stable while using the waist function. Seems like the best answer so far, to me.

Gotta say, Gali’s mask is very reminescent
my first thought - Nokama '04
Also…
The only part to follow with the contrasting chest design in a very nice colour. but fitting with the scheme… the blue of the chest and the foot do not look the same. or it’s just me

i agree, gali’s mask did remind me of a gen1 mask, but i couldn’t figure out which one lol
and i gotta say LEGO has definitely improved their mask designing skills, holy cow senior vs freshman year amirite

Good sick or bad sick?
So check it out, combined piece count if you get any of these pairs (or them all)
Lewa + Uxar = 89+79=168
Pohatu + Ketar = 90+80=170
Gali + Akida = 120+87= 207
Onua + Terak = 143+74=217
Kopaka+Melum=171
Tahu+Ikir= 132+77=209
First of all, thank you LEGO. The piece count for all of them has SKYROCKETED. Second, wow, Gali and Akida must be a fun combo. Also, Kopaka and Melum together contain less pieces than most of the Toa…which I find to be super odd. Ah well.

I liked Makuta’s MoCo from the last leaks and now it looks even better in HQ!!! 
Gimmiiii Umarak pls… like two of him. And his unity forms look scary and he is already pretty scary. 
Don’t really like Onua’s upper arms not being trans purple on the right arm but I can fix that with Bricklink orders.
Really ALL OF THEM look amazing!!! 
And I was going to purchase them anyways!

So everyone was complaining about Tahu’s lack of a neck last year. I think they’ve more than made up for it this year…
“Hunh? You talkin’ smack 'bout my neck?”
Seriously, awkwardly-turning Tahu is best Tahu.
Also
You can tell they’re final because the end of Onua’s hammer is now correctly colored. Hooray!

I like how they used normal tooth gears this time because those work better.
they made this mistake again -_-
so It looks like the body has the same connection as the stud shooters. or just a normal pin hole
also yay for azure Bohrok eyes.
I like the clip in the new eyestalk.

I dont really like the… how do you say it in english… I dont know, el movimiento de cadera, hmmm waist movement
Anybody noticed the yellow axles on Lewa and Uxar?
I’m going to take a momentary break from my multitude of bad jokes in order to point out that yes, Onua’s and Terak’s crystal add-ons do appear to be grey-blended rather than purple, as some had suspected previously. You guys win this time…
Yeah, a few people discussed it a little further up. I think the general consensus is that the design team added them in solely to spite Eljay.

Yup, waist movement, that’s it
Serves @Eljay right tho (only teas’n you, Jay 
) . But the yellow axles only appear on Lewa so it’s no big deal. He has yellow on his torso print.
I really want to make a Makuta Mask Maker MOC tho. Since I like to think of him as older than Ekimu, the longer limbs that Terak has will be perfect to show that. But I’ll be buying those parts from Bricklink once they are available.
@Eljay Will there be a podcast for this Today? or no?
While we did record a podcast, it was before these were discovered, so it won’t be discussing these in particular. However, we’ve said most of what we’ve wanted to, so the effect will be the same.
