Phew, well I intended to make these like a year ago after I made my original Mistika revamps. I’m honestly glad I waited though since these are way better than they would have been back then.
So similar to the 2.0 Mistika, I wanted to bring these into a uniform style, with unique differences between them in terms of height build and details and I can honestly say that I am SO happy with how they turned out.
So without further ado.
Lewa
Lewa was a simple one. Make him look aerodynamic and fast. The toa of Air should look like he was made to fly.
The Skyblaster is a detailed up version of KrayDay’s Skyblaster model and I really do like it.
Same as the Mistika, I wanted a couple of different weapons, Lewa was an easy one, sword and Axe.
The shoulder blades on the original set caused a massive amount of obstruction with the arm and head movement, so he now has smaller ones.
Tanma looking great, changed up the blades though.
I wanted the Midak Ammo to look like they are a shell filled with light.
The height difference is just crazy.
Kopaka
I really disliked the Kopaka Phantoka set, it lost a lot of what made Kopaka cool imo. So the goal was simply to make him cool again lol
The fact that they replaced his sword with a Bayonet was odd but where did his shield go?
Brought back his twinblade as his alt weapon as well though.
The original set was lacking any form of propulsion, his wings made him into nothing but a glider, so now he can actually keep up.
Solek, every ones favorite Matroran.
Really love these parts a lot.
Pohatu
Pohatu was such a weird set, from the shape and build to the arms and the half mask. I wanted this version to still be short and stocky but at least look like he is part of the team.
Really like the new claws, full articulation, honestly the original claw propellers were hot lifting anything, so decided to split them.
The propellers are now an alternate weapon for his claws, 3 sharp swords large enough to lift him but also making a pretty scary shield and weapon combo.
This took an annoying amount of time to render, lots of clear parts makes studio sad.
Replace Photoks blades and I actually really like these ones.
Just to say that the claws can attach seamlessly to the arms without any extra pegs
Always found the switch from brown to orange a bit odd but I get it it stands out more.
Group Shot
This really does make Pohatu look so short lol
Matoran
Honestly can not thank Nattar enough for these Matoran parts. They really are an amazingly skilled designer.
The Toa Nuva
I can honestly say that I think that these might be my best Toa builds to date. Each is unique in terms of height build bulk details and gear but they all use coherent design elements that make them feel like they are part of the same group.
As always all comments and feedback are very welcome.
