Toa Gaaki - Canon Contest #3: Honor Guard

Here is my Toa Gaaki entry for the Toa Hagah canon contest. I wanted a simplified look for Gaaki, not weighed down by unnecessary additions that make a Toa Hagah not look like a Toa Hagah.

Comparison with Iruini:

I give consent for my mask to be altered in the final group art if the artist chooses: No.
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: Yes.

Looks a lot like Varian, actually. If your Gaaki doesn’t win, you could easily repurpose her for that contest too.

Also since the mask isn’t gold, I think you’d have to consent to a mask change. I could be wrong though.

A Kanohi as a spear tip? Why not! :smile:

Wha… what did she do to Iruini?!

Turned him into a Toa of Plantlife! :wink:

EDIT (2026): Okay, this post must have been very confusing at the time. If I had possessed the courage to interact further all those years ago, I could have explained that I had made a Toa of Plantlife MOC out of those parts of Nokama and Iruini that were left when they were smashed together into this mediocre Gaaki. But, alas, I never explained that or posted the MOC before I put back together Nokama and Iruini, and so this remained a stain on my past…

she killed him for his mask and gold armor /s
