Hey there,
Continuing with my Bionicle 2017 project, I started on the summer wave. (I know, it’s a bit early but I couldn’t help myself). For this wave me and @poharu decided to bring back the Toa Metru. I already started making my renditions and will gladly show them to you here.
Up first we have Whenua:
I tried to make the weapons as similar as the original weapons, just a little better.
The other Metru will follow, including a 7th one. Honest feedback is appriciated, I only just started mocing with ccbs so I got a lot to learn still ;p Oh and if you want some more pictures just ask.

I think the new Nuju is such a vast improvement over the original. There is literally no way to make Nuju any better in my oppinion, great work!
I honestly think that Whenua should be shorter and bulkier, even though the original is the same proportions, but that’s just me being extremely nitpicky.
Overall, I think these look really great and can’t wait for the rest.
I don’t really like the concept; having two waves of Toa in the same year is a bit overboard.
That aside, these look good. I like the colors on Whenua, though more of the trans green would be nice. The weapons are well-adapted, they look quite a bit like the originals. He’s a bit gappy around some of the joints, though.
I have a lot of the same to say about Nuju: good color scheme, though this time I feel like the blue doesn’t need any more. Once again the weapons are well-made and scale up the originals. Nuju doesn’t suffer from the gappiness, either. I like the slight variations in the shoulders and posture, too. Makes them feel the same but not clone-y.
