Hello everyone !
I’m coming back with a little idea, making a new toa anatomy for a TTRPG campaign, like they are whole new toas.
But I got an issue with the main body: I want to use a metru torso, nuva shoulder pads and hordika breast plate. There below is my last attempt
As you can see the sockets are below the hordika plate and can’t move well. So, there is a way to change the shoulder anatomy to not have this obstruction ?
Thanks in advance ! 
What does it look like from other angles?
Hmm. Maybe put the ball joint where the technic bush is now and use more connectors?
Maybe move the hordika chestplate forward a bit so that you can have more room for the connector parts?
Maybe use a toa metru leg instead of an inika leg?
It give the same result.
I think the shoulder is still the problem.
Yeah the metru shoulder is kind of an anoying place for ball-jointed shoulder articlulation…
You could use a through-ball and a 3L axle with stopper. It won’t change the shoulder build dimensionally, but could go a long way toward stabilizing it for you. Those closed balls come off a lot more easily
Like this ?
I don’t like the push over of the torso, but is not the definitive version of it, it just a temporary solution, will maybe upgrade it later…
Sorry it took me so long to reply, busy couple of days
I built an example of what I meant:
This at least can help to stabilize the build of your current model. Not sure how helpful that actually is for you though, considering you might not commit to this arrangement
I don’t know the brown piece, what is it ?
Also, I have already done something like this, but I will try again with the push of the plate.
EDIT: Still doesn’t fit with the hordika plate:
Moreover, I can’t snap the Ignika arm/leg anymore, and the bulk feels VERY weird…
One solution could be to increase the distance between the torso and shoulder by using a longer axle
Like this:
It appears to be “Technic, Axle 3L with Stop,”
A piece that Lego has never produced in any other color 
Okay thanks ! I will try those ideas ^^
Just for curiosity, why did you using gears inside the torso ? There is a mechanism in the back of the toa ?
EDIT: Work very vell ! Like the bulk figure it give on toas, thank you !
