To prove that the models themselves haven’t been altered here is the original render for the thumbnail.
Ok, I think we are all on the same page now. Hello my name is Tarkur, this is my entry for the Bionicle Canon Contest #3 Honor Guard.
Let’s first address the rooms’ very heavy elephants by some housekeeping. These models were all built in stud.io so they had a great leniency with using parts in unique colors without committing the crime of painting pieces but at the cost of not having access to every piece ever. Furthermore the 1-1-1-1-1-1 split is a personal preference of mine, however I do realize that people are more interested in good 2-2-2 or 3-3 splits with that said I do give consent to change the metallic color would one of my models make it…
Here is mine, everything should be rules compliant

Here is my entry for the four Toa Hagah
Hello to you all ! Vahki6 here but most of you may know me as Kuhon or IronFoam Armory. Here’s my entry for this long-awaited contest and I have four Toa to submit.
My point when building them has always been : art will be canon indeed, but it’s important to also please the ones who will want to build them at home and align them on their shelves next to the original sets. That’s why I decided to stick exactly to the classic Metru/Hagah build as it was in the sets, like if they could be actual sets straight from the canister! No fancy modification, hidden-function or details, you can open your toa hagah instruction and build them as they are.
Some people seeing my creations before made a lot of feedback about the colors choices, and I think I should explain my motivations about my armor c…

Here be my hat into this online ring:
Putting forth all four remaining Hagah in one topic:
[Toa Hagah] [Toa Hagah_2]
(Either one of these can be used for the entry thumbnail if they’re to be counted as a group.)
Here are some individual action-y shots:

Some of the rules I imposed for these builds - they are “purist metru builds” as it were. Mainly that means no shoulder ball articulation which is a popular modification to many metru builds. Also, I refrained from using custom parts, and every piece in all 4 sets, to the best of my knowledge, only uses colors Lego actually produced them in. While I would have loved to have two sets use gunmetal, Lego never produced the metru greave piece in that color, so I went with something that anyone could make a real, unmodified physical mode…

I’m ready. Cheers, gathered friends! I hope you Hagah nice day!
Bang. I open with the money shot, which is also my entry pic.

I’ll go ahead and say it right off the bat-- I intentionally made the designs a tad excessive in uniqueness from their brethren Norik and Iruini, to justify how they were six strangers recruited to be bodyguards, and to stray from the “cloned set curse”. I understand if you don’t like my design decisions; to each their own preference in the end, after all. Cheers!
If you’re familiar with my work on Instagram, Facebook, or Reddit, you’ll know that this isn’t my original iteration of the four ‘missing’ Toa Hagah. I had to edit their legs and spears to abide by the contest guidelines (e.g. from 7L joint connectors to 5L joint connectors for the thighs).
Allow me to formally introduce my designs choices. The …

Ok, here is my Kualus entry!
Here is my interpretation of Toa Hagah Kualus:

Breakdown of weapons, arms and torso add-ons (the rest of the construction should be obvious from general photos and classical Metru build):

Breakdown of the Mask:
[breakdown2]
Comparison with Toa Hagah Norik (since I do not have Iruini). They are the same size, the only difference is produced by the mask, otherwise the Metru head, eyes and ball joint locations are the same. If case that is not sufficient, here is also a comparison with Norik using Iruini-style legs. You can see that even with the mask, Iruini would still be slightly taller:
