It’s not that his legs are generally long, his thighs are just long. And kind-of-poorly armored.

Yeah, when I get the set, I will no doubt fix that. re-do the legs.
Yup.

They clash with the Unity piece in the back and the piston addons on his arms (which are obscured in the picture). I like em but I feel like either the piston addon or the shells on the thighs should have been changed to a rougher texture to accent the firey vibe.

I like how he has different textures. makes him look more like an elemental warrior king that lives in the wilderness. His different textures add a bit more realism to him. Not all your armor is gonna look like a prefect set.

Thinking about replacing Tahu 2016’s thighs with his 2015 thighs. I like those better. Plus I get free parts.
Combo pic added:
Looks much nicer now.

That is an idea, but I never got the 2015 tahu. So I will prolly wip something else up.
EDIT SWEET GLORY TAHU LOOKS BOSS.
(And now I see what @Triple means, he needs to do some squats.

@Triple I really wish I could see it man, but I think the top of the pauldrons works well with the chest armor, which transitionally works well with the unity piece, and the sides of the pauldrons work will with the crystal parts, firey parts, and the smooth parts. Adds up in a cohesive way to me, but I can respect others seeing it differently.
Edit: Okay yeah those thigh Technic armor pieces seem a bit problematic when he’s united, might be the angle difference though given that the legs look like they’re right next to each other with the way the set is posed.

Wow Onua looks BOSS. Tahu looks great too. Can’t wait for more pics; they should decide for me which of these guys to get when they come out…and soon!
Tahu looks bloody awesome…I really like this figure. I mean…compare his mask this year to last year’s…for me it’s not even close. This year’s Tahu is much better. Still unsure about getting him, because my favourites currently are Kopaka, Onua, Lewa, Pohatu…but I’ll definitely consider him now that I’ve seen him 
What a difference though…the cgi pictures of Tahu were really quite unappealing. In reality, he looks quite stunning. Lemme glance at the Onua pic one more time…

Can I haz dumb argument?
fankz.
I think I may make Tahu taller, and make his legs and arms longer.

Again, I don’t see it as the the Skull Villain addons fault (although it does have a large gap from the side) but rather the piston addon’s or the Technic shell.
You know what piece does help it though? Ikir’s wings and tail feathers. The set may be meh in my eyes but the combo is glorious.

Ikir makes the skull villain add-on work much, much better. *it already did so swagtastic.
@Triple It’s a shame because I REALLY like the pistons and the new piston piece. Really wish something could have been done to transition the sleek into the technicy look better, because I prefer the latter so much.

It’s sueing time
So basically the creature torso seems to be the one ruining texture cohesion now.

I guess. I like it and how it adds more texture. and I dont see what people are complaining about…

When can we expect more reviews??? I’m really interested in seeing all of them…I had no idea the crystal pieces for the earth characters are transparent…that’s pretty cool actually.
Sorta.
See, the cyrstal addon is a transitional piece from mechanical to organic. The technic shell or cyrstal addon would NOT look out of place if they just combined the two pieces rather than putting them next to each other,
