Arrow here! This is my first post of any kind here, I think. I wanted to get involved in the contests, and this is something I felt I could participate in.
Below is my take on Toa Hagah Pouks. I wanted to go for pieces in colors that already exist. I attempted to give Pouks a pose that fit his description of a loud and boisterous individual. It’s kind of tricky to pose the Metru torso in its original form, and I am still learning posing in Studio.

Here is my entry for all four Toa Hagah. Thanks!
First off, a picture of the team!

Next, I want to state what my mindset was with these entries: include as much variety as possible while still remaining as faithful to the original Hagah designs as possible. For me, that means not changing anything that’s the same between Iruini and Norik and then fully utilizing all the variations within the things that were different between those two sets. For me personally, I think that’s what the official sets would have been like, so that’s what I was aiming for. Another thing, I personally find it boring to have three gold and three silver and I think that having 2 gunmetal grey is the best solution.
Here’s a size comparison photo:

Everyone is obviously taller than Whenua and shorter than Iruini, with t…

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.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
