Very nicely built. Onua’s lack of hunch is a bit off-putting, though.

Onua Nuva having a proper neck is horrible

your mocs all seem to be very good so far, and these are no exception. i can’t wait to see more from you!
frankly, if you could get a better picture setup and camera, you could get up there with the big boys real quick!

Thanks! Yeah I chose to not incorporate the hunch so that he would more resemble the movie depiction and have a heart light, as well as better fall in line with my vision for the team. If it’s any consolation, the Mata version still has the hunch incorporated lol

Man, I love seeing well-done upscales of the Nuva.
Great work, man! :+1:

Thank you so much! While I do like the Mata better as sets, I definitely have greater nostalgia for the Nuva since they were my first introduction into Bionicle. I also find them to be more compelling characters, and I like how the Nuva Kanohi make them more unique figures in the Matoran universe. The Mata are definitely more of a fan-favorite to revamp, so I really took it as a challenge to be one of the first to make upscaled, set-accurate Nuva.
