Kualus Entry coming through!
[Kualus Art]
Hi everyone! I just want to thank you all for checking out my entry for the Toa Hagah Canonization contest that I felt like I had to share. I’m not one to be known for my MOCs. (Heck, I think this is the first ever one I’ve actually posted a topic here for.) But I really wanted to take a crack at Kualus’s design and decided to enter my rendition of the Ice Toa Hagah.

Before we dive into the MOC itself, I felt like it was necessary to explain some things about artistic choices made for this character. I envisioned Kualus to have Gunmetal/Pearl Dark Gray armor to go along with the regular Toa of Ice color-scheme to spice things up and also in coordination with the mental image I had for the rest of the team.

Here are my entries. Hopefully people can recognize the pieces.
At long last I have finished my entries for the Toa Hagah contest. I made these all in a rush because these were only entries and I didn’t want to put a lot of effort until the actual art contest. That’s why I used a lot of the same lineart through the post.
The Clairvoyant Gaaki
[Clairvoyant Gaaki_20210519085358]
For her and Bomonga, I decided to pay tribute to preexisting toa by making them the basis for the Hagah’s mask shape. Gaaki is described as feisty so her tribute is to Toa Jovan who wore an inorganic kadin. This mask shape was chosen not only for being more masculine but also to blend with the texture of her armor. Gaaki uses Spike Flexible 3.5L with Pin and Hero Factory Shoulder Armor, Rounded for shoulder armor.

Here’s my entry - one Bomonga coming through!
Bomonga, the Imposing
The existing Toa Metru & Hagah were missing some of the diversity in shape/silhouette that the Toa Mata & Nuva had through inverted torsos, and I wanted to add some of that variety into the Hagah, while still obviously looking like a cohesive team.
[Toa Bomonga_Special Edition]
For the most part Bomonga is pretty standard for a Metru build, with construction that could easily have come from an official set. I wanted to avoid excessive detail or greebling as that could look out of place next to Norik & Iruini. A lot of his pieces are also present in the existing Hagah sets.
[Toa Bomonga_pose 2]
Using extra Metru torsos as shoulder pieces gives him differentiation from other Metru builds without dramatically increasing build complexity. He’s immediately recognizab…

The entry thread for my 3.
My entries for the Canon Contest #3! Let’s get into it!
(First note, I have used technic pins for the shoulders for most of the photos for better posing, however, the gearboxes are all reconstructed in the breakdowns. Hopefully this is not an issue.
Second note: I have confirmed that all three can use the Hagah Shield Piece, even though they are not pictured with it.)

Many earth Toa are short and stout, so I wanted to mix it up with this one, making him taller but still tough looking.

Here are mine for what it’s worth:
Anyone here still interested in looking at basic Metru builds? Well, here are some more:

Core features:
only parts used that existed as molds in 2005 (or in the case of black double sockets could have existed since functionally identical)
all have a working gear function
100% purist - no painted parts, no 3D prints

I give consent for my metallic color choice to be altered in the final group art if the artist chooses: No
I give consent for my spear tip to be altered in the final group art if the artist chooses: No, unless another Hagah uses the same one, and if changed, the speartip must be an official part existing in silver.
