Oh yes I completely forgot about those too! I think I will add the shield to Gaaki because she is the only one that features flat silver parts (at least if you build the Rode entry). Then maybe another for Pouks or Kualus. You could also buy a flat dark gold one and spray paint it although that is definitely not ideal.
I do wonder: where are most of you from? The States?
I have met polish, russian and japanese fans, I am a finn. suprisingly lot outside usa. maybe there should be a poll asking the region people are from?
Nope. That rule is specifically for the art.
I’m not sure if it applies to Bomonga and Kualus since their masks are already given, but for Gaaki and Pouks, You have to draw (or provide a 3d model of) the mask as part of your entry.
I see. To bad there are no individual countries but I guess it would be quite some work adding all of them.
It is interesting to see all the distinct differences in parts that are available for EU and US buyers on Bricklink. Like some parts are almost exclusively sold by US sellers whereas others are almost exclusively sold by EU sellers (among which specific Toa Hagah parts).
Everyone talking about the shields, but no one mention the expensive Lesovikk blade as Gaaki spear. Since it can be changed, may I suggest to the artists using Mahritoran blade? It mantain the original aquatic vibe.
You mean order it online or something? Because I think that would be just as expensive all things considered. Although it may also depend on your location.
However, it is worth noting that in this case, the entry photo notably obscures the thigh armor entirely. So in this instance, we’re of the opinion that some artistic freedom in this department is allowable. That said, it would be weighed with other changes that may skirt the rule, if any exist. So discretion will be applied.
Unfortunately, no. I believe its only available in metal or mata blue.
The spearhead and mask would be the only parts you’d need to have painted/printed/cast in either gold or silver. For the gunmetal variant, you’d have to additionally recolour the shield, a rhotuka, and the shoulder and thigh armour pieces too (same total amount of parts requiring recolouring as the original metal blue version)
