I based the LoMN version, and other "Mutated Toas" as sample(And they are almost DH member).
Because He is the member of DH and one of MetruNui-saga character, so I revamped him to his appearance looks match with the members!
Only opening jaw? NO, it can holds a Kanoka disk on its sub jaw, so it never lost the set version’s Gimmick!
You can the both spec: Movie and Set model!
Acturally, his front legs are double-ball-joints.
His weightness has concentrate on the front, and if you can made enough strength of holding power of BJ, there are no problems.
So this MOC can keeps its posing even rear legs have single BJ.
In LoMN and Set, he flights by folding his 4 legs.
Off course it can do this!
This moc never lost the Original set’s Gimmick, only excludes the shooting of Kanoka!

Bukkey has struck again! I can barely take so much at once! The head design, the claws, the legs, It’s all great! Wonderful job, Bukkey. i look forward to further creations of yours.
This is easily one of the best Nidhiki moc’s I’ve seen, you really captured some of the smaller details of the Movie design excellently. While I can’t say I’m really seeing the influence from Spinner and Savage, I do appreciate the thought.
Insanity bukkey. Absolute insanity. I can’t keep my eyes away. It is simply AMAZING!
Amazing use of toa phantoka brainstalk. Never thought I would see it used like that.
One fear I have is that those rakshi backs pop open often but if they stay closed most of the time then this is a masterpiece. Actually it is a master piece anyway.
You see that ‘ver.Bu’ in the title, you stop what you’re doing and you read that topic.
I know this is based off the movie version, but this is 1,000 times better than the movie version. It doesn’t have any chance against this masterpiece of mocing architecture. Every gross detail about the movie iteration is made to work here and splendidly so.
Thank you @N01InParticular !
the head was most difficult part in this MOC! I’m glad to you like it!
Thank you @Enbeanie !
Nidhiki is one of my favorite characters, so I tried to my best!
Thank you @Rukah !!
I really love the movie design, because we can see the remnants as former Toa on his appearance!
Thank you @Brickbot99 !
I’m glad to you liked it!
And about inspiration by Spinner and Savage, I didn’t imitate the structure of Spinner and Savage, but when I made the movie version of Nidhiki, I aimed to match them even if they belonged to the same organization.
This is fantastic, and correct me if Im wrong, feels more compact than the original, which I like. Im also blown away by your attention to detail. Well done once again!
I rarely see revamps of Mocs that not only keep the original’s stature and functions while still being cohesive and complex, and this is one of those Mocs that just blow me away with how ingenious it is.
