Hi everyone! After completing a Jaller revamp a couple of weeks ago, I decided to do the rest of the future Toa Inika and later Toa Mahri. Jaller, Hahli, Kongu, Nuparu, Hewkii, and Matoro, all were heroes in their own right before becoming Toa, even if not all of them realized it.
You’ll notice some MNOG and MNOGII references scattered throughout their builds, Kongu, with the vines he swung on in the Rama swarm, Nuparu, his tools from building his Boxor, Hewkii, an exaggerated hammer from his saving Maku, Matoro, his pickax and flag, and Hahli her satchel. Yes, I sadly had to resort to some third party parts unavailable in needed colors, but I tried to keep that to a minimum. Hope you like them!

I love Hewkii’s hammer! Great use of the Bohrok holders.

@DuneToa Thanks a lot! His hammer and Jaller’s Kohli stick were my favorite tools to design, but especially Hewkii’s hammer. I kept all of my Bohrok rubber band holders, and I have been waiting all this time to finally find a way to use them, haha!

Some of the used bricks were painted, right? I never seen some of joints used here in chosen colors

@Toa_of_Yesterday_Day Only three joints are custom made parts: the white Hordika neck, the white HF bone, and the dark green Hordika neck. I got them from a custom molder years ago, and have been waiting to use them for the right occasion!

I really like these designs, something about them just looks it would be a fun toy.

@ChubChub86 Thank you! They are really fun to play with in person, really dynamic with posing, and they just ‘feel’ like perfect Matoran builds. Nuparu and Jaller are the most fun to pose. Thanks for commenting!

This is exacly how G2 Protectors should have been made like
They look like Matoran made by Little Brotherhood Studios but created without ruining bricks that are no longer in production <3

@Lucasso_de_Luxor I can’t help but agree! I don’t mind painted masks as much as I used to, but I really dislike part modifications like that 99% of the time. Glad you like them! I really did try to make them modern enough to be poseable, yet retro enough to be recognizable.
