Six Heroes, One Destiny

[Leoxander]

These are the best Mata revamps I have ever seen.

Probably the best revamps of the Toa Mata that doesn’t use modded peices, but there is a series that does that this seems to resemble. Are these by any chance based on the Lalam24 Mata revamps?

Brian (Lalam24) and I have chatted about this before. We both came up with very similar ideas pretty much entirely independently of one another around 2012 - his initial executions were a lot better than my early tries (my older versions of this build have far worse proportions). I didn’t get this together until 2015. I remain very impressed with his work, but this project has been entirely my own.

[Samtastictogo]

Oh dude sweet

[1000Purse30]

At first I thought these were the original sets
These are surely one of the best toa Mata revamps I have ever seen

[DarkTakanuva]

Amazing work! The flexibility is incredible, while still retaining the appearance of the originals.

One suggestion for Lewa’s left arm: if you have any of these in this color, they might work better. Technic, Liftarm Thin 1 x 4 - Axle Holes : Part 32449 | BrickLink

I have a couple, and I did consider using them, but because I went with red on Tahu, white on Kopaka, black on Onua, and blue on Gali, I figured it would be best to go with green on Lewa to keep uniformity

[DannyBoyy]

I can’t say anything that hasn’t already be said, let it suffice to say these are absolutely amazing.

@Levva

Wha-wh-whe-wha

Mata Nui bless you O wise sage

In all seriousness, these are probably the BEST Toa Mata revamps I’ve ever seen. The gaps in the torso are pulled much better then other revamps I’ve seen throughout the years. They also look enough like their predecessors to have someone not too familiar with them be able to think that they are the real thing, but different enough to bring something new to the mix.

So that was a bit long

~Levva

I appreciate the positive feedback
Tightening those gaps was a major difficulty in the design process, and it does mean that the final product is a touch flimsy, but I’m very satisfied with the final result

@Tarkur

1 Onua and Gali’s arms look’s a bit weird compared to the rest.
I know it is the same design on the rest on them but it still looks weird on them.
2 No gear functions

Thanks for the feedback
I just couldn’t fit gear functions in and maintain poseability at this scale

saw this on facebook page and still asking for instruction

[Chronicler]

Simply incredible. The details and parts usage is simply glorious, and the body builds really help with the character.

Now here’s my question: can they Kiata?

I’m glad they’ve got such a positive reception.
Interesting you should ask about Kaita. I haven’t tried it, but theoretically they should be able to form something similar to the original Kaita, because all the limbs and bodies are designed to have the same connecting points as the original moulds. Now you’ve got me tempted to give it a go…

[Morgy]

Very impressive. My favorite has to be Lewa. But why only golden kanohi?

[Samtastictogo]

Do it! Do it! Do it!

I would love to see this

[_el]

Because they are flashy and look amazing.

[Morgy]

Fair enough.

[Jim]

@Morgy

Basically because the project kind of started as a stand for my golden Kanohi
But equally, because I’m presenting them at the pinnacle of their power before they became Nuva

[Morgy]

Ahh I see.

[QuantumEcho]

Lewa was my first, but Gali is definitely my favorite. Amazing revamps btw. The legs look very “bulky”, should I say, which is how you’d expect them to look.

[SonicBionicleMaster]

Super accurate, and pose able, but they look a bit awkward

[Jim]

Yeah, I wanted to bulk the legs up a bit compared to the very flat originals.

@SonicBionicleMaster

they look a bit awkward

Yeah, that’s something of an inevitability when building off the style of the original. I mean, a faithful revamp on the Inika would give them monkey arms
