Makuta (WIP contest entry, need suggestions)

Here’s my entry for the Makuta Contest. I was hoping that I could get some feedback for this MOC before I submit it.

I think Makooti is a greta name /s

I think the moc is pretty cool.

MAKOOTI.
This is great, but the white doesn’t really look good on Makuta in my opinion.

I think the lower arms could use a bit more work. They’re too small and need to be covered a bit more, in my opinion. I also think the back should be covered up a little more as well.The Toa masks on the staff look kind of out of place. I know it was on the original, and it’s up to you. Other than that, it looks great! I actually like the mix of colors you have going on.

Yes finally!! A Kraakhan!! Keep it!!
(Maybe make legs taller, idk, I like it)

I love the color scheme and overall shape. No criticism except add some armor to the lower body in front.

I think you might need to extend the neck by 1 unit. Adding a small amount of white to the mata hand in the legs might help a little. The nuva shoulderpads should be angled away from the torso.

Otherwise, I think it’s pretty okay.

I like the color scheme! My advice would be to beef up his legs. They look a little skinny and under armored.

Progress update:

I updated the MOC one last time before I finally entered it on [Rebrick.] (http://www.lego.com/en-us/rebrick/view-entry?c_id={00A66255-0F67-490B-97E3-3FCD9CF12314}&a_id=470e34ba-11dd-4949-a9fc-f16efd9004bf&sortEntry=false) New pictures can be found there.

Tonight, on Hoarders…
