Here’s my entry–not literally last minute for once. Good luck, everyone!
The most elite, picked from the best the universe had to offer, the Toa Hagah stand tall having weathered the sands of time and the fires of betrayal.
I had a couple of main goals when going in to making these designs:
Colour balance. No repeated eyestalk colours, even sets of metallic armour colours, and consistency with the colour choices of the existing Hagah.
Consistent design. I wanted no new points of articulation (much to my own annoyance) and for all of them to have functional gear boxes.
A balance of unity and diversity. I’ve always really liked the Hagah because they were built on the Metru frame while having more variation in silhouette and build compared to the Metru themselves. To continue in that vein, I wanted unique designs when it came to armour, limbs, or other things …

Hello,
Here is my entry, Toa Gaaki, Toa Hagah of Water.
Hello,
Here is my entry for the third BIONICLE Canon Contest. I had planned to do all four Toa Hagah, but because of work, I didn’t have enough time. So I chose to put all my energy and time in my favourite out of the four: Gaaki.

Hey here is my entry featuring all four of the remaining Toa Hagah. Would love some overall feedback. Good luck to all who has entered and will enter in the future!

Introduction
Summary It’s better I enter this contest late than never at all. I’ve never entered a canon contest until now and I thought why not try?
I’ve had these MOC’s finished for a couple of weeks since the contest started and have honestly not looked at anyone’s submissions. This is mostly for me to work on my vision and not attempt to copy someone else’s work. With that said, let me move to my mindset for designing my Toa Hagah.
Mindset/Design Decisions
Summary When designing these other four Toa Hagah, I restricted myself to what was available at the time when Toa Iruini and Norik were released. They didn’t really incorporate any Hordika specific body parts, so I excluded those from my parts pool. I wanted to build the Toa Hagah as if they could’ve realistically r…

Do we have an updated list anywhere showing which entries have been accepted/if they weren’t disqualified? We’re getting close to ‘zero hour’ here and I want to make sure mine made it in (and others’ did too)!

I’m sure they’ll let you know before voting starts.

Unfortunately, no; hopefully Eljay/Meso will review the entries sometime in the next few days.
Well, I’m not a contest moderator, so I can’t say definitively, but I don’t see any DQ-worthy problems with your mocs. You’ll likely need a height comparison showing that they’re not taller than Iruini/shorter than Whenua, though.

I figured the height thing would just be logical; the moderators surely have a grasp of Metru Build height. Unless they’re using Inika legs or some illegally-modified Metru torso (connected by one peg), they can’t be taller than Iruini, and since all of mine in the pictures visibly show where lower torso meets upper torso, it should be concluded that they aren’t shorter than Whenua… plus I pictured all of mine together so the nearly-uniform height is noted. I hope the moderators are that sensible.

In response to a similar comment, Eljay said this:
It’s because when you don’t clearly outline boundaries, people will try to find ways to mess with things and disrupt things.
But sure, assume we’re idiots first. Appreciate it.

I just put Iruini because my Hagah are either his height or Norik’s

You have to create your own topic with the entries to participate.

Now that you mention it, it does worry me that the official list isn’t updated since unlisted entries that may have problems are given 3 days max to make necessary changes.
Idk how that might turn out when the entry submission period has 2 days left.

I think they might give everyone who still needs to be approved 3 days extra to complete their moc after the 11th so in other words all entries will be checked those not following the rules have until the 14th to fix those submissions. This however is only my speculation

Here is my Entry :]
If there are any problems I would be happy to change them as soon as possible
[IMG_8201]
When I first made my mind up and decided to enter this contest with Bomonga I wanted him to be different.
[IMG_8193]
His bio describes him as being different from the usual Toa of Earth, mostly silent and preferring to work alone, so I wanted him to also look different.
[IMG_8199]
So I made him look more sleek and elegant, more slender and upright than the usual Toa of Earth. I also originally wanted to use gold but when I looked more into his character, I realized that Bomonga didn’t need to show that he is very powerful or that he is second in command.

Anyways this is my Entry to the Contest. Hope you all like it !
I would greatly appreciate any opinions or criticism you have :]
