Thanks!

I wasn’t aware that this connection worked. I figured you would need to use pinhole liftarms, instead of axles. But if it works, then it works.

Overall I do really like these, Gaaki being my personal favorite. Nice work.

Will do, they’ll be up within the hour.

Very nice, I think I like gaaki the most because of her shoulders, I never would have imagined that rahkshi spear tip working well! Although having the gap at the waist is very annoying to me and for some reason it makes kualas look ‘off’ to me, he just seems to have less armour on him, but apart from that these are very good!

I’ve already given my opinions of these in another topic, but I’ll say this again: these are some of my favorite Toa Hagah designs that have been posted so far.

I love Pouks most of all out of these but they’re all great!
The only aspect I’m not crazy about is Gaaki’s armor color.

Gaaki’s shoulders and chest are very creatively done.

I love Gaaki’s design but I’m so upset she’s gold and blue, in fact overwhelmingly gold! Looks more like a toa of lightning now in my opinion. But hopefully you’d fine if people recoloured that if it gets to the next phase?
The rest are good and I like the variety in heights, good luck dude!

Thanks, the choice to make Gaaki gold came from my prototype of her which was dark blue and orange. Those colors were mainly chosen because they are contrasting colors and makes the moc pop a bit more. Now I see the psionics armor debacle, I personally don’t mind it, after all Iruini is green and gold and Norik is red and silver, both slightly orthodox colorschemes. The latter maybe less so but I digress.

Edit: and yes I’m giving consent to change armor color

Bomonga:

Yeesh, you got enough chrome gold there? :stuck_out_tongue: Nice touch with the dark grey spinner, though I’m not a fan of the silver spinner being the only silver on him – would’ve preferred it being gold or black. (the main spinner, I’m fine with being a different color, but both is a scretch)
Also, minor nitpick, but since you’re recoloring pieces anyway, couldn’t you have made that blue pin on his stomach black? It already comes in that color anyway

Gaaki
Not the gold I would’ve preferred, but I can accept it. That’s a very ornate chest design, I like it, though I’m a bit concerned about neck poseability. The shoulders look a little odd, in my onion. Also not a fan of both spinners being silver, but that’s a rather minor complaint.

Kualus:
Nice colors! While I’d prefer all the Hagah to be gold/silver/gunmetal, if Kualus is metallic blue, I won’t mind too much. The snowflake chestplate is great too. Really, the only thing that bugs me on this one is the silver spinner.

Pouks:
Why? Why do you keep making the lower spinner silver? It looks espegially out-of-place on Pouks, with an otherwise dark color scheme. I really like the spear/axe. The light grey on the shoulder armor is also a little annoying, couldn’t it be black?

Overall:
These are pretty nice. There’s a lot of color choices that bug me, but otherwise, I wouldn’t mind any of these as the final Hagah. My biggest concern might be that the masks can’t be changed, as there’s a chance another entry might use those masks.

Yeah, I thought the same thing until recently. Seems to be a common misconception
