Brief Backstory: Stoax used to be a carver on the island of Artakha, he was very overlooked because the Matoran on the island were more concerned about work than stopping to bask in the arts, though he still did care for his people nevertheless. However, following the League of Six Kingdoms attempt to overthrow Mata Nui, an illusive group known as The Sons of Necron came into the city and captured nearly every Matoran, including Stoax. Though after a strange notice in the vanishing of Matoran, The Hand of Arthaka send in special ops team SOLISGUARD to retrieve the Matoran. Upon rescue Stoax had two things going through his head, for one he was angered at the man who had captured him (whom he had gotten a brief look at) and yet he was also concerned about the people he respected. Using this opportunity he persuaded Toa Minera to let him join the group for the greater good of his people. He became a Toa shortly afterwards and was sent with Minera train Stoax by unraveling who The SON is and what they want.
Back view, his lower torso from the back does look kinda thin and he could use more tan in his legs. The reason he has that silver armor piece raised so high was because its supposed to give the appearance of heavy armor, as though he is wearing a juggernaut suit, which is fitting because 1. he is a Toa of Stone and 2. He’s a special forces operative
Random pose with his Giga Pick. One of my least favorite parts about him is that his knees cannot bend a full 90 degrees and his head is very fixed, meaning that he can only look up or down so far.
A look at Stoax’s weapon, the Giga Pick. The Giga Pick is a large pickaxe that used to be the tool he used to carve, It has incredible force and can channel Stoax’s elemental control over stone. If the user of this weapon is under tension, it can unleash waves of plasma at the target.
Lol yeah I could only find one armor piece in the tan/brownish color in my parts collection. I could use bricklink to get another but I don’t use paypal.
I really like the overall build of your moc! the only things that bothers me is the skrall armor and that it doesn’t look like the shoulders can move out that much. Both of those are just nitpicks, and I absolutely love the stringer shoulders
It looks very good! I can’t find any of the hated blue pins, but the blue pieces on his hands stick out like sore thumbs (pun intended). I didn’t even notice the armor mismatch until @ColdGoldLazarus pointed it out.
This is pretty nice. My only problems are the amount of greebling on the moc and the inconsistent colors (i.e. black/tan Skrall armor on the upper legs). Otherwise, not a bad moc.
Well you at least get props cuz he’s a Toa of Stone, hardly any people do that. My only gripes are that he looks too much like Pohatu, the mismatched thigh armor, and the black just doesn’t seem to flow very well, otherwise nicely done.
