Yes before you even type it YES! he has a saw under the shield, but the shield was small for the enlarged version so i decided to add some flare. Anyways, this figure has the original gear setup visually while still being able to move the right arm and store the blade on the back like the original promo commercial. Also this figure has full range of articulation (except in the toes sadly, i’m still making prototypes so it looks better than Tahu’s feet). I did the best i could to make everything in the right shapes and curves as in the molding of the original toy. so i hope you all enjoy this figure and to feed yourself some sweet nostalgia.
be sure to check out the review i made on the figure:
Very cool! It is better than your Tahu, I would say, since the color organization is more organized. I actually think the feet would work better as custom ones, since that way it would fit with the rest of the aesthetic. Also dat red ball joint on the right arm.
Overall I think it’s pretty good; the legs/feet could use some refining, but it’s pretty solid.
@BlackboltJohnson Thanks! I didn’t know what to do for the neck since it has the same gear set-up visually while still being able to work. But since the neck has a flexible tube it is pose-able
@ReeseEH Thank you, I barely have enough money to get more parts so I basically made this with the parts that are available to me. So I apologise for the red ball joint in the arm. But yeah he’s way better than Tahu so I’m probably going to revamp Tahu
Amazing stuff! The level of articulation, especially around the torso, is quite unlike other toa I’ve seen. I’m not sure I agree with calling your own work a “masterpeice” though. There’s always room to improve!
That custom foot does look very promising however I would like to go custom with the overall feet, kinda like Tahu’s feet (the one in the photos) where it is pose-able yet make it more refined. And I am glad you like the waist design it took me a long time to figure it out along making it have a gear box installed on top a few years ago.
As much as I love the idea of a Masterpiece series of toa mata, something akin to what transformers does, I do have a few issues. Some of the proportions are off, and some parts look a bit messy. Though I mus commend you on not only creating a nearly perfect upscaled custom mata torso, but also making it articulated, its absolutely amazing.
Thank you, seeing what takara has done with transformers has motivated me to do the same thing for bionicle. And I am glad you like the torso. however, I’m curious to hear what parts of this MOC you think may need improvement. Since I want to make it look extremely accurate
Maybe (definitely), but I imagine it being so honest because it does capture the look of kopaka at a precise level. Even the waist is fully articulated and you don’t see waist designs like that anywhere else.
Hey just a quick question since I always seem to put things on the wrong category, where do I post bionicle MOCs or other creations like these?
