This is a great Bomonga! Although I’m pretty sure you need a few other pictures, as well as links to the 3D custom parts your using

Gaaki’s pictures need to finish uploading…

The ones I can see are good. But well… some are missing. They haven’t finished uploading. Not only on Gaaki like @The_Blue_Panda said but also some breakdowns and kualus

Okay, I usually don’t like when people deviate from Norik and Iruini’s builds, but these are awesome. I love how you made each of their shields unique, and the extra armor you placed on the hip and back really make them stand out against a lot of the other entries. Best of luck to you.

On the whole, I really like these, and will be very tempted to vote for them.
The build mods like on the shoulders and the waist are ok so long as the art portion is allowed to remove them so they’re more in line with Norik and Iruini. I would assume these are simply creative liberties you’ve taken and not things deliberately intended to deviate from the official sets.

I’d personally recommend letting artists change the metallic colours to any other colour, as I’ve seen some people raise / agree with the argument that a half-way-house will make them less likely to vote for it (presumably because it’s over-complicated).
For me personally, I’d be more likely to vote for it if all colour changes were allowed - though I do agree on your alternate colour choices for Pouks and Gaaki (and your actual colour choice for Bomonga). It essentially comes down to making certain that artists have the ability to even out the colour distribution.

Gaaki looks amazing!

Just FYI, this connection, while buildable IRL, is not a legal one. The Metru chestplate cannot fit properly on the pelvis piece in this configuration, resulting in parts bending. I know it’s a digital model, but I would still prefer if people didn’t use that type of connection (this isn’t the first batch of Hagah that share the same issue).

Other than that though, these models are pretty splendid, especially Gaki (despite me not being a fan of gold-and-blue Toa of Water…)

I encounter this at least once per MOC, and I hate it.

Well, official sets used that connection.

None of the official sets use it

I’m pretty sure klakk does

Klakk has the Metru chestplate attached one stud higher, which is fine

Kongu Mahri does-- (looks up set images)

Huh.

Apparently I’ve had kongu Mahri built wrong this whole time.
