Toa Helryx | BIONICLE Canon Contest #1: The First Lego Creations

Hi, guys! I have the honor to idtroduce you to my interpretation of Toa Helryx. I’ve wanted to use Toa Metru build creating hers body but in the same time, make her look like a prototype Toa (cause she was the first). That’s why hers shoulders and feets are much more robotic than other’s Toa. Still, she looks femine and slender. About colors, I’ve choosen darker tons cause she isn’t the most innocent Toa we know To make her look more ancient, I’ve added elegant hooks (making a callback to the first Toa we had in a set form) crowning hers shoulders. On the back, you can see gear used to block gearbox mechanism in position you like. Hers head is poseable by moving black Slizer foot on hers back. Her arms are a bit wider cause as Toa of Water, she should be able to use them to s…

Toa Helryx - Canon Contest #1: The First Lego Creations

"She was not Makuta, but she was indescribably ancient and disturbingly frail in appearance. Her mask and armor were pitted and scarred from a thousand battles. She looked like a Toa, but her armor and mask design didn’t resemble anything Takanuva had ever seen before.” I’m not a fan of the skinny Helryx interpretation many people seem to be going for. I think the in-story description makes it clear that her war torn appearance has a lot to do with her supposed “frailty”, not her innate frame itself. At the very least, it leaves it ambiguous enough to not make her thinner than any other toa. So I didn’t. As for the armor that Takanuva couldn’t recognize, I took that to mean it should be something different from technic. I chose to go for more system pieces on the armor because he’s never…

[IMG_20200619_211554798] Toa Helryx: Bringing Order to a world of Chaos. [IMG_20200619_211757068] This Helryx design is based around a toa Mata torso, while adding slightly more height to bring it closer to the scale of a typical Inika or Glatorian style Toa. [IMG_20200619_212051749] I am also operating under the assumption that this represents Helryx “in her prime”. At the point she was found by Takanuva, she had lived through thousands upon thousands of years of battle, reducing her to her more frail, weaker state. This is backed up by descriptions by Greg Farshtey himself. The build itself is fairly simple. More images, including the breakdown pictures can be found in this imgur album [Album]…

Here’s my entry, hope I did it right lol

Excited to see how the contest pans out!

Toa Helryx (BIONICLE Canon Contest #1: The First) Lego Creations

Here is my entry for BIONICLE Canon Contest #1: The First, depicting my version of a Destiny War era Toa Helryx. Action Pose: [image] I really wanted to do a nonstandard secondary color for a Toa of Water ala Uniter Gali or Hahli Mahri. Initially I wanted to use burnt orange to represent rusted armor, but due to piece availability I couldn’t. I ended up choosing tan when I realized I’d never seen anyone use a sandy beach aesthetic for a Toa of Water moc. Front View: [image] I realize that the mask I used doesn’t matter, but I still decided to go with the Akaku Nuva because I thought a scope made perfect sense for the Mask of Psychometry. Plus it has what looks like a microphone on the mouth, and I figured that if anyone had a radio in the Matoran Universe it would be Helryx. Side …

BIONICLE Canon Contest #1: The First Lego Creations

My MOC of Toa Helryx. All the required images can be found here: [Album] BIONICLE Canon Contest #1: The First (Toa Helryx MOC) [BIONICLE Canon Contest #1: The First (Toa Helryx MOC)] and now for a (brief) explanation of some of my design choices: Torso: the agori/av-matoran body was the base since the same body type also was used to depict toa Mata Tahu in the Stars line, so I assume they look identical to the original Mata torsos in-universe. The torso construction also gives the head a slight hunch, since Helryx is supposed to appear “frail”. Limbs: The arms are asymmetric like some of the original Mata’s: a thin mace-arm w…

Here we go.

Helryx - (BIONICLE Canon Contest #1: The First) Lego Creations

Helryx - The first Toa, and leader of the Order of Mata Nui. [front ds] “She was not Makuta, but she was indescribably ancient and disturbingly frail in appearance. Her mask and armor were pitted and scarred from a thousand battles. She looked like a Toa, but her armor and mask design didn’t resemble anything Takanuva had ever seen before.” [back and side ds] [groupshot lighting] Helryx met with Takanuva and showed him the history of the Toa Mata using a creature of the Order’s design. She also introduced him to Krakua, a Toa of Sonics. [action and noarmor sidebyside ds] More images and breakdowns can be found here: Toa Helryx (Full photo album) - Album on Imgur Thanks to Galva for the Mask of Psychometry design, and to Bionicle4Life for printing and painting it along wit…

Yellowryx (Canon Contest #1: The First) UPDATED: Parts and Instructions Lego Creations

[Toa Helryx Mace Pose] Hey everyone! Posting my first topic on these boards to present my take on the first Toa herself, Helryx. [Helryx Front] [Helryx Left Side] [Helryx Back] In order to create a look that would appear unfamiliar and ancient to Takanuva, I integrated System and Slizer/Throwbot elements into the design rather than using more contemporary BIONICLE armour pieces. The faulds are meant to evoke the look of warriors from our own ancient past. I gave her a dark blue colour scheme as I always thought of her as a darker, more severe character, given her self-exemption from the Toa Code and the lengths she’s willing to go to accomplish her duty. Her eyes and heart light are trans-light blue, to help tie the exclusively dark blue scheme more closely to her being a Toa o…

Helryx (The First) Toa of Water Lego Creations

[IMG_20200626_193911220] An updated form of the MOC, with improved lower legs. This is not part of the contest. [Helryx] First of all: I used Krana because my only other option was a Kaukau Nuva, which looked far too large on her. With that out of the way: behold, Helryx, the first Toa and leader of the Order of Mata Nui. Since her armor looked unfamiliar to Takanuva, I used a Mahri-toran breastplate, and tried to build her almost entirely in a way that looked different from the Toa Nuva, with the exceptions of her hands and head. I also added the pins extending from the legs, among other elements, to reflect her status as the Toa Mata’s prototype. [IMG_20200621_135513292] I tried to communicate battle-damage by making the worm-gear armor on her limbs look worn down in some plac…

Toa Helryx (BIONICLE Canon Contest #1: The First) Lego Creations

Hi! I joined TTV specifically to be able to enter the first canon contest and I’m really excited about what’s to come. I haven’t done much MOCing since I was a child, but I couldn’t pass up the chance to leave a mark on my favorite series. Anyways, here is my entry: Toa Helryx, The First [Helryx_Action_Pose_01] Action Pose I decided to try an asymmetrical desgin as a callback to the Toa Mata, some of which had specialized builds depending on their equipment. My Helryx carries a large shield, so I felt it was appropriate having an oversized arm with funky proportions. A conscious effort was made to limit the usage of parts from 2003-2010 to make her seem ancient and prototype-y. The exposed pins and axles also serve as minor imperfections in her appearance. CCBS was used on the limbs …
