Here is my entry
[Main]
My entry for the Helryx contest.
Her “frail” appearance and “fought a thousand battles” didn’t really work together in my opinion so I gave her some armor that might look different to some Toa. Some chainmail like we used in older times, perhaps the first Toa also used different types of armor than current ones. While underneath all that she still looks thinner than other Toa. Her armor is also easy detachable in the model as well in case you’re wondering.

I don’t fully understand the mask/art portion but I used the trans-blue transparent mask of water from the LEGO Inside tour. It leaves the option open to even make it the canon appearance of her Mask of Psychometry without conflicting with other G1 masks. I’m fully aware it’s up to the next portion of the contest …
Best of luck to all participants

Here’s mine!
First time using the messgage board… hopefully I get it right.
This is my take on Helryx for the contest:
[83487914_398632657703916_4975070823715759785_n]
My hope was to make her build frail and spindly without looking like she could be blown over by a gust of wind.

Though her build is unique, I added a couple of visual parallels to the Toa Mata build, giving her a recognisably Toa-like appearance. I felt that Mata blue was a must over the darker blue of the later years so that her appearance felt more (nostalgically speaking) early Bionicle. Additionally I wanted to convey her power through the build somehow, so I gave her large, bulky weapons in contrast to the more modest toolsets o…
Pls let me know if I’ve done anything wrong so I can fix it. Thanks in advance

Im quite proud of how she turned out. The torso is mostly the result of wanting to build something around a slizer head and ended up shaping similar to a mata torso (in the waist and shoulders) by coinsidence.
The colour scheme isn’t exactly what i had planned either. Alas Im still (after nearly 2 months) waiting on those bricklink orders. Overall Id say she has benefited from the tweaks made as a result of the delay.

The mace design was borrowed from a Turaga I built a couple years …

I made this a few weeks ago, but depression hits hard man.
This is my build of Toa Helryx.
[Action1]
I decided to make her look as set like as possible, while still being unique.
[Action2]
For the “frail” look, I used plenty of light blue joints, because they crack easily.
[Front1]
I also elected to use much gray for the “ancient” look, because logically her color would wear down over time.
[Side1]
Her armor uses pieces that Takanuva would not have seen. (Other than the wrist armor, but when he saw them, it was on Makuta, and as Pohatu’s toa tools.)
[Back1]
The lower arms are the same as Makuta, because Takanuva was reminded of him upon seeing Helryx.

Now this is my entry!
Best of luck to all!
PD: I can only upload 3 images and put 2 links because I have a new account, Is there anyway to change that? I had to put a link to another gallery for appreciation.
EDIT: Manage to get my Level 1 trust upgrade, now you can see full photos directly on the post!
Greetings, everyone,
As my first post on the TTV boards, I woould like to share with you my entry to the Toa Helryx CC#1 ‘The First’. When I read about Toa Helryx in the B lore, I’ve always pictured her as someone short of height, blue and medium blue color schemed (I tried to avoid the silver one, because there are already many silver pieces used in a lot of official MOC’s and sets, and the Glatorian wave showed us that return to the old solid colors make everything better), always serious or angry and all of her armour and Kanohi covered in spikes, you know, this kind of character who is strong in personality despite it’s fisical “weak” appearance. Helryx must represent “the Sea” more rather than water, and from all water bodies, seas are the oldest ones. Although I did not managed to d…

Ok finally finished up my MOC too, so here you go:
Hi it’s me again!
I initially didn’t plan to enter in the contest, because I am normally more of a system MOCist, but after seeing all the cool entries, I wanted to give it a shot and try something very different.
So here is my Helryx MOC:
[Canon Contest Helryx Final Render 2]
My main idea behind the build of this MOC is to really focus on Helryx being the first Toa.
My version of Helryx is very much designed to look like a prototype for other Toa. That’s why I purposefully tried to build her very incomplete and technical looking. Which I thought this would be fitting for her description in the story:
“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, …
I hope I got everything right^^

Good luck, everyone! Here’s mine!
This is my MOC of Helryx, Toa of Water:
[DSC_0961]
Inspiration:
I based her design very closely on the Toa Mata and on Toa Krakua. I wanted to strike a balance between Helryx being one of only seven (correct me if I’m wrong) Toa to have been made, not born. However, I also wanted to maintain her lineage with the other canon contest.
Design:
Helryx stands taller than the Toa Mata, yet shorter than the average Inika build. She stands between them, and her height is most reminiscent of the Metru build. Her color scheme is Mata & Metru blue (eclipsing both colors of water in the Matoran Universe), Light Gray, Dark Gray, and Black (implying her struggle with the nature of reality and her rejection of the Toa Code. Her weapons are both mainly silver, but both are laced with hues of blue. H…
