Well, originally I was searching for pictures of the Toa Mahri I once saw displayed in the Aquariums of Sea Life Speyer. Unfortunately I don’t have any.
But there’s also a good thing about it - on my search I found some pictures of old MOCs from little me that I had completely forgotten about … not that they’re worth remembering…
So I thought I would share the pictures of some of my oldest MOCs with you! Yay!
So, the first two I didn’t forget about - the photos are hanging on the wall in my room. I built them in late 2003/early 2004 aproximately. So I was 7 to 8 years old. (they’re photos of photos, so sorry for the quality)
A Rahi frog. I think I had a name for this, but I forgot.
Next a MOC from February 2006 by 9 year old me. I really have no idea what it was supposed to be. A monster I guess. A dragon perhaps. Notice the perfectly executed colour scheme!
Reminds me of when I built Godzilla out of the Toa Nuva. I thought the world of that back when I was 5 but if I were to look back on it, I’m sure I’d just laugh =P
Something from October 2002 which makes this probably the oldest MOC I have pictures of - and I have to say it actually doesn’t look too bad. I mean, I even managed to keep a colour scheme.
And probably the worst MOC ever (if you can even call it a MOC) from April 2004. I seriously have no idea why I took a picture of this. It looks like Spiriah’s attempt to improve a Nui-Jaga.
Honestly, I like most of these. Sure, they aren’t “good” by any standards, but I think they’re charming and there’s definitely some good ideas!
Did you find anything about this in the meantime? It sounds curious and I’d love to see how they did that. I remember seeing an exhibition with the (at the time) new city sea explorer sets in sea life, around 2015.
I did a brief Google search, but unfortunately that didn’t really turn up anything. From what I remember, it was really just the Toa Mahri (and I think I only spotted 3-4 of them) spread around the aquariums, though, nothing big. So I’m not sure if there was any big advertising surrounding it.
