Hi I’m Mechronus, the guy who can’t seem to not mention Nidhiki. Today I’m showing you a weird MOC, as less than a day ago this was a Toa Naho MOC. Nevertheless, I present to you now, Toa Dume:
(Which is shaped to look like a Gavel) or his Igneous Staff:
(Stud.IO can’t model the marbling correctly so IRL shot)
He also has slight inspiration from Lord Vladek, as his torso and color scheme are mentioned for possible ideas.
I was a little worried about the hammer design since it’s pretty different compared to the hulking hammers or the same hammers so I’m glad to hear you liked it.
Thank you! The torso was designed to give off that heavily armored look on the front, while being bare on the back. My thought process was “Dume has been characterized as someone who never turns his back on his city, so why would he need armor on the back?” Along with this I wanted the body to be close to Metru, as it’s believed Lhikan got his design from Dume, while still making him distinct. Lastly, I made sure that the torso didn’t use the Shoulders mod by inverting the connection, that way no parts were strained.
