Anyone here still interested in looking at basic Metru builds? Well, here are some more:
Core features:
- only parts used that existed as molds in 2005 (or in the case of black double sockets could have existed since functionally identical)
- all have a working gear function
- 100% purist - no painted parts, no 3D prints
Entry photos:
Bomonga:
I give consent for my mask to be altered in the final group art if the artist chooses: Yes
I give consent for my metallic color choice to be altered in the final group art if the artist chooses: No
I give consent for my spear tip to be altered in the final group art if the artist chooses: No, unless another Hagah uses the same one, and if changed, the speartip must be an official part existing in silver.
Kualus:
I give consent for my mask to be altered in the final group art if the artist chooses: Yes
I give consent for my metallic color choice to be altered in the final group art if the artist chooses: No
I give consent for my spear tip to be altered in the final group art if the artist chooses: No, unless another Hagah uses the same one, and if changed, the speartip must be an official part existing in silver.
Gaaki:
I give consent for my mask to be altered in the final group art if the artist chooses: Yes
I give consent for my metallic color choice to be altered in the final group art if the artist chooses: No
I give consent for my spear tip to be altered in the final group art if the artist chooses: No, unless another Hagah uses the same one, and if changed, the speartip must be an official part existing in silver.
Pouks:
I give consent for my mask to be altered in the final group art if the artist chooses: Yes
I give consent for my metallic color choice to be altered in the final group art if the artist chooses: No, except to silver, and in this case the speartip must be changed according to the guideline below
I give consent for my spear tip to be altered in the final group art if the artist chooses: No, unless another Hagah uses the same one, and if changed, the speartip must be an official part existing in flat gold. OR if the armor colour is changed to silver, the speartip must be changed to an official part existing in silver
Size Comparison:
All are either Iruini’s or Norik’s height.
And a few words at the end:
Given that in order to work with Norik and Iruini the other Hagah need to be pretty simplistic Metru builds, I decided to also be very conservative with parts usage to create something that could have existed in 2005.
The masks are of course a problem, though. They do their job here, but ultimately they’re pretty meh, which is why I explicitly allow replacements, even if this means non-purism. As to the changes of armor colour and spear tips - here I want to maintain purism, which is why I went with a general “No” with defined exceptions. It’s possible to build Pouks in silver if you cahange mask and speartip, the other ones are colour locked based on their armor.
Otherwise there’s not much to say here, I guess, instead have a picture of all of them wearing Avohkiis:
EDIT: Wait, there is one more detail I could share:
We know Iruini originally was supposed to be Nidhiki. And we know one of the Toa Mangai of Ice wears a Kaukau and the Toa Mangai of Earth a Kakama - hence those mask choices for Kualus and Bomonga 
.
C&C as always appreciated, I suppose.
