Ekimu is probably my favorite out of the two, he looks as epic as he does in Journey to One, but doesn’t have the awkward design choices of his mask maker set.
These still have a majority of the problems that the previous versions had. Too much gold, and slightly gappy. Fix those two problems and they will be great.
The neck and shoulder areas are gappy. The torso piece and the head have a gap in between them automatically because of the uniter torso, but a hordika neck can fix that. To fix the shoulders, I don’t know. Just try stuff and see if something works. Hopefully this helps with the gaps. (and pointing them out)
They both need more of there trans colors, and Makuta’s shoulders are a little to bulky in my opinion (almost like he’s wearing a winter coat), I think the golden version of the skull villain add on would work better. Other than that, they look great, especially what you did for Ekimu’s hips, very creative.
Made me laugh, I added the unity piece higher up to at least give the illusion that it’s not as bad, I tried adding a lego tire around the neck, but it limited articulation too much.
I’ve got the gold skull villain shoulders, once I get two more trans-purple shells I’ll switch it over.
Ekimu and Makuta are nearly identical. I worked in as much difference as I could between the two with the amount and style of armoring, but since they are originally so similar, I wanted them to retain that similarity.
It is a very useful design, and will probably be my primary one from now on. Let me know if you do, I’d be interested in seeing them and any changes you might make.
