Mods To the 2016 Sets

I liked the tonfas better, they had more personality to them. Nice job though.

FTFY


Looks awesome, the upper arms are really cool.

NOTE: There are some personal preference changes that prevent Tahu from being 100% JtO accurate, but I’m not bothered by that.

My birthday was the sixth, and because of that I got enough money to order several sets off Amazon, including all six Toa. Tahu came yesterday, so (like Narmoto) I wanted him to be as accurate as possible.

So here he is

As for the personal preference changes I mentioned, I changed the attachment and color of the upper bohrock eyes, removed the gears from the swords and the crotch, and made all the pins on the sword function, blue.

Some nice poses

I tried to sort of recreate the mask swap scene.

JtO Tahu next to JtO Narmoto.

And Tahu next to my self moc Kasai, and Ekimu.

Now, for the moment you’ve all been waiting for, because who cares about Tahu?
The one, the only…

Izotoooooor!

Oh…what? He’s barely changed because he barely changed in JtO?

Well that was anticlimactic, that Tahu though.

All jokes aside, thank you for your time, and feedback.

That’s pretty cool how accurate you managed to make him.

I feel like this is more of a mod and should go here:

But that’s just my thoughts.
I do quite like this moc though.
The only thing I’d change is to make that stud on his crotch gold and give him solid red hands

I figured it worked here well enough, and my JtO Narmoto was posted in the general Lego creations.

I was thinking the same thing about the hands while making him, sadly I don’t have them though. And I only have one gold stud, it’s on Ekimu currently.

I feel I do have a good eye for accuracy, even down to the fact that the shells on his forearms extend beyond the 2015 addons in the show, which is why I gave him the 5 long shells on his arms.

The accuracy was done very nicely :clap:

Brilliant use of the Metrutoran torso in red, but I would put a slope piece at the back of the leg in red instead, covers more and give it a nicer shape (of course also using two more round 1x1 plates for it and two brick pins).

Plus you wont see blue pins sticking out.

Looks good, 9/10. Would help if the axe was centered.

Did you cut the torso panels…thats considered blasphemy by some. I like the whole thing when its the most gold.

(I imagine this would have been the functions for 2017 and done in this way, if we ever had that)

I don’t mind cutting parts if I know it will help make character better, beside it is hidden under armor. I do things like that only in G2 sets, since for me more important and sacred is G1.

And that after cutting G1 pieces, they arent as useful as G2 parts are due to them not having simplicity and versatility.
