These are my entries for Toa Pouks, Toa Kualus, Toa Bomonga, and Toa Gaaki in the Toa Hagah contest. I tried my best to give them different looks while also being similar to be considered a team visionally along Iruni and Norik.
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: (Yes)
I give consent for my spear tip to be altered in the final group art if the artist chooses: (Yes)
Let’s start with the first, Toa Pouks. I chose to give him an upside down Metru torso as a nod to Pohatu. And make him standout to the rest of the Toa.
While I’m not a fan of the upside-down torso concept with the Metru torsos, I will give some advice. Using a blue pin/axel adaptor seems like it can make the head rather floppy. Instead- use a three long axel, connected to an axel accepting, two long beam, which is further connected to the hole below the head attachment by another pin or axel. This will make for a much more stable head without compromising its image too greatly.
Don’t sweat it, the names seem like they should be interchangeable, I know. LEGO/BIONICLE is for BIONICLE discussions, while any lego creations should be under Creative Content/Lego Creations. I changed it for you already, just keep it in mind in future.
You need to post a link to this topic in the Honor Guard Entry List topic. Eljay will then review your entry to make sure it conforms to the rules, and once it’s approved, it will be added.
Ah, potbelly pouks. I’m still not a big fan of the flipped Mettur torso, few entries pull it off decently. It doesn’t make a good running function either, since the legs swing at an angle.
I do like Gaaki’s spear tip, though, since it has that little wave pattern.
And I’m not big on the shoulder mod, would prefer it not be on official models.
