I think if they ask how to build the head, they would like to see the internal structure of the head, instead of another picture of the completed build. I can mostly figure out the legs though. It’s mainly the head and the body that I have no clue as to how to build, and what I doubt anyone else will easily be able to replicate.
I show the internal structure of the head in the pic, I’m feeling like you didn’t even click on it.
Ah
Maybe you should mention that in the post…
It is assumed that when you want to see a photo in detail you click it xD
Nah, most of the time the entire picture is displayed.

arms are to long, otherwise good
bought umarak a year ago just so i could use that connection, though i haven’t found a good way i could integrate that into a moc without leaving the open ball joint, so i have deemed it slightly useless in my eyes.

There’s never a useless technique haha, besides there is a whole socket and multiple pin slots on that foot, im sure you’ll find a way to get around the empty socket

i don’t know why but empty sockets make me cringe more than open ball joints and red axles. I think i see ball joints and open axles as potential to make something better and empty sockets as a disappointment 'cause they could be easily filled.
Couldn’t agree more. The beauty of that piece though is that there are lots of ways you can get around the problem of the open socket

very true
Here is a how to of The Dark Toa. Took a lot of pictures, so I hope you’re happy. Again, the concept credit goes to lalam24 on deviantart.
First we have the back and neck region.
Then we have the head, which is actually my original design.
After that we have the front upper torso region.
Next, we have the lower torso.
Now we have the arms.
And finally, the legs.
And now you have the completed MOC. It looks like a Toa Mata, but it is much more articulate. It also looks better proportionally. You can make any custom version of this, this was my idea. Also, the red ball really breaks the color scheme, but it’s all I have at the moment, the blue pin-axles do as well, but black ones don’t provide enough friction, anf the 3-long axle with a stud in the lower torso is supposed to be modded to be shortened by 1 length. All the dark grey peices should be black, and all the clear slanted tiles should also be black.

I messing with giving one of my Mocs tentacles and stumbled upon an interesting weapon system.
I can imagine the weilder would complete the weapons by powering them with their element.
