So, its been awhile. Once again it is a female moc (or in this case 4 females). The last time I tried to make a female moc, it didn’t go over too well. So here is attempt #2. I had to dismantle my previous 2 mocs to make these 4 as I am very strapped for parts. I am not too happy with the arms which are just basic Metru arms (perhaps I could have used Inika arms, but I’m too lazy to find the elongated forearm piece I would need). At any rate, I’ve learned I suck at building arms (Any specific help on custom arms that still look good would be a major help)…
I think this is a lot better than my last attempt, which I was told looked gappy and awkward. So I went with a complete overhaul and made 4 of them just cuz I could. They figure still do have an exposed ball joint (as you can see) on their knees, but with my limited parts that was all I could do. Perhaps I could place some type of armor pieces to cover the ball joint, but I am afraid that will make the knees way to thick.
Story Time: This is a team of four female Toa, and that’s really it. They protect the Matoran, combat the shadows, and whatnot. I’ve eliminated two Toa from the traditional six as I felt having both ice/water and earth/stone was far too repetitive. In my Bionicle Universe, there are only 4 Toa in a team: Fire, Water, Earth, Air. Get used to it.
NOTE: They do not need the bases to stand (unless they are in a one legged pose), but they are a little unstable because they have no real feet.
Picture in order Left to Right:
Rika (Toa of Fire), Lekuva (Toa of Air), Nikki (Toa of Water), Rekuna (Toa of Earth)
Personalities:
Rika: She can’t take anything seriously. She is always joking around, for better or worse. She sees Lekuva as her little sister, and the two are best friends. They often annoy the two other members of the team, and they get delight from doing so.
Lekuva: Fun and playful, not too serious. By far the quickest of the group (Unless underwater,that goes to Nikki). Very childish and overly trusting of strangers. Has a lot to learn, but still carries quite a few surprises. Often underestimated by opponents, giving her an upper hand.
Nikki: Surprisingly, the hot headed one of the group. She is a masterful tactician, and while she is probably the weakest of the group, she can still put up a fight, often using her opponents weaknesses to her advantage.
Rekuna: Brave and fearless leader of the Team. Extremely strong, yet level headed. She knows how to play her cards, and isn’t afraid of a tactical retreat if the need be, but she isn’t a coward either. She cares for all of her teammates safety above her own, and is respected by all.
I’ve gone ahead and posted pictures of all of them, keep in mind they all have nearly identical builds as is typical Toa fashion.
I gave Nikki a few more picture Because she’s my favorite of the lot.
Anyways, tell me what you think.
