Hello fellow compatriots to yet another build! Today we are taking a look at the conqueror himself, Makuta Teridax, first released in 2003. However this figure has a few new touches to his design. While still retaining the waist turning function with added friction he also has a transformable staff so that he can throw a kohlii ball just like in the movie mask of light
but he also has the shadow hand as seen in Legends of Metru Nui.
It is a compressed design of the Muaka function but with a slight variation to allow for reach and honestly a more cohesive looking hand. Anyways I hope you all enjoy!
Also feel free to check out this video for a more in depth review
Also yeah it would have been perfect if this came out in 04, not only just in reference of the film but as a symbolism in how they perfected incorporating functions into the figure. Just like the Toa Metru
I’ve seen many a moc make a detachable shadow hand, but never one hidden in the torso; it caught by complete surprise when I saw the function gif, it’s so well incorporated. 10/10, too much water.
The function is really cool, and really well integrated, but for me the overall aesthetic of the moc is much too similar to the original set.
I think I’ve said this before on another moc that was incredibly similar, but it really adds another level of “WOW” if you’ve got a fully original re-design, and especially if you added in the function here, it would take it to a whole other level.
But this is still really cool and I’m amazed at how you integrated it, well done!
