You mean the Kestora’s idea of a Toa

I think you’re getting this confused with the “female proportion” debate. That’s the one LJ said to stop.

Well actually I think-
mods don’t kill me this is a joke

That’s not how it works. Lhikan is not origin to Metru Nui
Oh, yeah, I forgot, lol
By the way, who is most likely among all Toa with no known appearance to be Metru, is Dume. He’s one as far as I know who made Lhikan Toa, and he was somehow crucial in one’s life, so most likely he wanted to look just like him after becoming Toa

Nice! I really liked your Hagah. I’d put a vote behind this.

I’ve a dumb idea to make her a 2005 combiner. TSO, Vaporak and Sentrakh were combiners as well, and since she debuted in Time Trap with them, it sort of makes sense to me.
Obviously, that means she won’t be teal or as refined as the other mocs, but I thought it would be an interesting challenge.

Thats actually a pretty common idea and one that I am completely for at that. I would absolutely vote for a MOC made from combined sets.
Additionally, you can always just use only available from the selected sets and then palate change them in Stud.io. (I’m not a Stud.io user myself, so I’d likely still vote for it anyways if it was well implemented)
We could simply say the color scheme is like Krakua’s mask-it is acknowledged place-holder scheme that differs from canon. (I doubt this would get traction on community approval though)
for the nidhiki contest we should just swapped all the gold on iruni to silver, swap the mask, and call it a day

I foresee most entries doing that. Whether one of them will win, or whether a more unique entry will is up to debate.

Despite how popular this idea seems to be, I don’t think it’ll be allowed. These quotes seem to say that Nidhiki doesn’t have silver:
I would think other colours will be allowed, the same way that Artakha’s “gray-green” turned into “gray-green and gunmetal”, but both of those quotes seem to specifically refute the idea of Nidhiki having silver.

Genius idea(prepare yourself for the level of intelligence you are about to witness[it is very scary]):
Make Nidhiki but make every body part, joint, armor piece, and accessory 1 unit wide.
Then clarify with Greg that silver actually meant sliver, because he’s so thin…

I’m happy for Nidhiki and Tuyet to be custom builds (since silver Iruini is apparently not an option RIP). Unlike the Hagha who were always presented as a uniform team despite their differing origins, the Mangai always felt more eclectic. I think the only time we even saw them all in the same place was in BL4, when they were formed.
Actually, do we think Varian would be metru build? According to NOGLB Norik’s old team was actually two mushed together and the story never clarified if they were from the same team originally.
On a more tealish note…
I’ve been working on her since the contest began.

I like the Slizer-head-feet. I feel that will be a popular choice this round.

Well he IS the most likely because it is canon that he actually is.
So he is just Vakama and with a different Tool and (pretty similar) Mask. (And no he isn’t black, the black on his mask is ONLY because he is a Turaga.)
So don’t complain about the Hagah looking all the same, Dume is just Vakama.

Wasn’t Dume’s mask and torso Mata red? If anything, he’d look like this:
(although there is an argument to be made that the grey parts should be black, since his actual model does use black in other areas than his mask)
EDIT: something like this

Yeah it is mata red. But vakama was orange (ok not really a good point) and That is a lot of paint.
Yeah ok could be. But I don’t think it should be like this:
With him being black as a main color.
And your model is what all the entries have to look like. some could replace the grey with red, use a different weapon (compared to others) or change the red. The mask would be decided in the art section. And most would use a hammer. We wouldn’t even choose the eyes. (most likely atleast)
So people please stop complaining about the Hagah contest being “just a mask and speartip contest” It also is an armor, body shape (limbs, torso length, hunch/no hunch, etc.) and metallic armor color contest.

In terms of what is canon, that second MOC is wearing a Noble mask. lol
