Wow! A Very nice looking, cohesive looking Toa team! Well done
The only problem is really the mask usage. Using these masks means they now can NOT be the mask in which they actually are, thus creating new unknown mask shapes.
They also look EXTREMELY cohesive… maybe even unnecessarily so. The Hagah are supposed to come from different backgrounds and locations so being so uncanny to each other seems a little… off to me.
Regardless, these are very beautiful and extremely aesthetically appealing.

When I upload this topic, I scared about criticism.
But now I’m so glad because so many people love my arts like you 
@B3njix
Bomonga has most painted pieces so much carefully made.
So I feel affinity to Bomonga too. thank you!
@theBolderBoulder
I think the strategy that put emphasis on unity is well successed. thank you.
@Takutanuva
About masks, because of my immature english so I don’t understand what you try to say exactly.
I’m sorry about nonresponse to your precious criticism.
And about cohesiveness, I intended that in design.
Although I know that Toa Hagah are from different teams, I want to make them similarly for my aesthetic.
Even if my Toa Hagah is put emphasis on unity, I look for some other designs which put more emphasis on individual uniqueness in contest.
Thank you for your quality comment.

They look very nice as a team. The only thing I would say is that they’re possibly a bit too repetitive. As in all the silver-armored Toa have Nuva shoulders and Rahkshi legs, and all the gold-armoured Toa and Vahki legs, as well as mirrored chest armour.
@Takutanuva are you saying that new shapes wont necessarily be tied to the mask power? I’ve seen that concern but think it’s basically moot; I don’t think the fanbase would make things more complicated by presuming them to be anything else.

Its not that WE are making things more complicated. We already have direct clarification from Greg that only Iruini has the correct mask shape. The other five have masks shaped differently in accordance to the power. So if you use these masks, you are essentially saying they can NOT be in the according power.
ooh! very nice.

Did you get 3 Norik and Irunis, or did you bricklink the peices?
It applys to former, not latter.

these are CLEAN! My only gripe is that Gaaki and Pouks should be switched around, Gaaki being silver and Pouks being gold.
These are excellent Hagah I hope the ones who made the 3d models for the spears and masks release them so you and many others who used these pieces are able to enter their mocs into the upcoming contest.
These are the kind of builds I hope to see canonized. Cohesive armor where no individual is oversized and bulky or too slim. Properly sized Kanohi. No complex and greeble armor. Actual spears instead of just swords on sticks. We’ll see if these pieces can eventually be used because, if so, this is something I would vote for.
@Takutanuva, regarding your comment on Greg officially stating that only Iruini has an originally shaped mask, where was this stated? I apologize if this sounds distrustful or annoying, but it would appear that, by your strong word usage, you know this as a fact- a fact that I do not know of for myself which I would like to have confirmation of.
Iruini uses a Kualsi. The clarification on the others can be found here.
And clarified again, here.

Alright, thanks for the info.
Yeah… its a shame because the above masks are beautiful, but if we vote on those then we disqualify them canonically from actually BEING those masks as the maker desired them to be

Actually, those are only two of many replies. There are several that say otherwise + we know Iruini has a Kualsi in the correct shape, but Greg never said it is only him.
You are disregarding the rest of the replies.
You’ll need evidence to support that, where as I had provided it. As far as I am aware what I stated is to be true.
Somebody else made a compilation of replies on this in one of the forums related to the contest.
I may post some of it if find time to search.
Yeah you should, because I know some of Greg’s replies can be confusing and it would be good to clarify you aren’t remembering it incorrectly. Because if I am thinking about what you are, you may be referencing him making the clarifications on Nidhiki’s mask and the Mangai all being standard shapes and not reforged, such as the Hagah’s.
