He looks great. I’d suggest replacing the 3L pins in his left arm and shins with these though:

It’d be a bit less secure on one side but the axles should hold it together well enough. Apart from that I really like the leg design.

This looks really good, actually. The lower legs look like they shouldn’t work aesthetically, but they do and they’re awesome.

A Metru build that looks like a mata build? That’s amazing!

Wow, I had never thought of the possibility of someone doing this but now it seems like such a good idea. All the technic is nice and greebly, the shoulders are very nice as well-they somehow give a “knight” look? Kinda like pauldrons? Very nice Moc.

This is an awesome revamp. I especially love the shaping of the limbs.

Do you have any plans to make the other Toa Mata by recolouring these models?

This is really clever and awesome. Nobody has mentioned how epic that sword looks, yet, so I’ll do that. :stuck_out_tongue:

Exceedingly cool.

I decided to try and take a crack at making one of those legs IRL.

I only have one of those tri-liftarm parts sadly, but was able to get enough of it together to experiment a little. The design above is under a lot of tension as the angle those old style toothed washers have doesn’t quite match the one you need for this.

I tried adding a couple more modern parts to the mix and managed to get him less pressure in those side parts while also giving a bit more knee articulation, but it does mean the leg isn’t 2 studs wide anymore

This is as far as I can really go with the design due to parts restrictions, but seriously, well done on this guy.

I actually fixed this already.

Love this moc. Kopaka is my favourite character after all. And man never thought to use a metru torso for a mata build. But it works.

Also I might steal this sword design just because it is awesome
