You said that you named them after maori words right? What about a character named after Karaehe pani (Stained glass)?

You are most certainly welcome. Also will the design be based on the stained glass from the video game Bloodstained?

Mega update! Got some new mocs and some revamps, so lets get to it!
First, my new mocs. The brown and tan toa Toki and the red and white toa Aukume. There are some new mechanisums that I excitedly implemented into these mocs.
P.s, Toki means rock in maori and Aukume means magnet.
Starting with Toki, you can place a Lego rock on his back and then pull his lever to knock it forward with his arms. The rock goes surprisingly far.
Second is Aukume, which I am happy to say, has a similar gear set up to a Toa Mata. You can turn the lever on his back to swing his sword. This is achived by using the slim type of gears. I am very happy that this works.
Next is my revamps. All three of these toa have been rebult from the ground up, I wasnt very satisfied with thier first iterations. Also it gave me an exuse to implement some of the play mechanisms from the new mocs.
First up is Rama, toa of fire. He can now swing both arms when you turn the lever on his back.
Next is Moana, toa of water (I shortened her name from Waka Moana to be more readable). She will now paddle with her flippers when you turn the lever on her back.
Last is Pupuhi, toa of starlight. You can now pull on his jet pack to swing is arms forward. You can also poit his jetpack down.
Next are some minor changes I’ve made to the other toa. Just some mask and minor peice changes.
Last but not least, the new Toa team line-ups.
First what I consider as the good guys. They are flawed and struggle to work together, but ultimetly fight to protect the population of thier island home.
And next is the “evil team”. They work in the shadows and use Rahi to oppress the island population, only to reveal themselves when the Rahi are defeated. I like to image this team as a “wave 2” that fight the toa.
And thats all for now. I am pretty happy with these mocs for now. See ya next time!

I really like this guy. He’s goofy enough to stand apart from the rest while being cohesive enough to be a nice MOC. That function is very interesting, I gotta try building it some time.
