Gringat's Chibi Self-MOC Project #1

Nice hat.
Well, it certainly would make sense so as to the somewhat random order.

Dizrahk, self-MOC of Disturbulator over on DA, suggested by @Creep !
Definite proof that these guys are getting more complicated: this guy took a bricklink order to complete!

After figuring out a new head design based off his drawings I realised the only source of green mata heads was Turaga Matau, who I never got as a child. So not only did I order the set but it arrived with a broken mask and weapon after being damaged in transit. :gregf:

Including a breakdown of the head design here.


If you want to enter a self-MOC from the community into the hat you are still welcome to! Just make sure to follow the rules up at the top and include a link or picture!

Toa Vladin, self-MOC of @Toa_Vladin, suggested by Guymontang* and @UnJaguk !
Sometimes the simplest ones are the trickiest to condense down, and that was definitely the case for this fella. Missing a second one of these so the arms are too long, but still happy with him!

*Looks like Guy’s disappeared from the boards since he nominated Vladin. :confounded:

That makes six, and because of the way the colours ended up turning out, I’m gonna be cheeky and throw Gringat himself into the mix for the combo model. His matoran form, that is. :slight_smile:

Nah, lol. Gringat has been nominated but he hasn’t come up from the hat yet. This is his matoran form, which I built in 2010

Looks really cool, aren’t the 2001 Tahu “hands” very loose?

Slizer arm attachments/Mata ‘hands’ are hardly ever loose, from my experience, they’re stiff and sturdy.

They’re not terrible but they still have some issues in certain directions. The balljoints on the av-matoran limbs aren’t perfectly round and can be loose on one axis but stiff on another.


Due to the main post reaching maximum length (and nearly 250 replies!!), I’ll be posting the next series of chibis on a fresh new page. Feel free to nominate new ones here until then though!

One question: how many of these you actually keep intact? I mean, you either have them all built or dissasamble some of them formparts.
I think is the latter one.

Once I have 6 chibis, they are disassembled and put together into a combination model.

So you don’t keep any of them?

I do not.
