Toa Tahu and the People of Ta-Koro (6/6)

Hi everyone!

Here he is: my further revamped take on Toa Tahu! Last year, I posted the 1.0 version of this build, but after completing all five other Toa Mata, realized both he and Vakama needed some tweaking. So, for Tahu, I added some more structure to his legs and reworked a bit of his torso to allow for some more articulation. His sword has also been adjusted. I purposefully made his and Kopaka’s design very similar, adding to their unique dynamic.

Vakama had some of his dark red swapped out for classic red to make him better fit alongside not only the Ta-Matoran, but his fellow Turaga, too. Kapura was great fun to build, and you may notice the yellow on his thigh armor; this is intentional. In the MNOG animation in which Tahu meets the Ta-Koro people for the first time, there is an animation error in which Kapura has yellow feet. This is meant to reference that. Jala (Jaller) and Takua are essentially the same as before, though I changed Jala’s eyes to neon green instead of dark green.

This completes the first stage of my revamping the entire 2001 line, but is far from the end of this project. My goal is that by summer 2026, I will have revamped every 2001 set, along with several other 2001 characters/Rahi featured in the MNOG.

Hope you enjoy these, and hope to see you for the next entry: the Kane-Ra!

These all look really awesome. Say will we get a MOC of the Makuta later on? The form where he is a shadow matoran who once fought the toa from the MNOG.

@Au-Plau-Se Thanks a lot! I may do Tohunga Makuta, but I already did the void form a few months ago: The Makuta - Void form if you want to check it out!

So wait, you will do a remake of the Mctoran Makuta again? If so what will you add to make the moc look improved?

@Au-Plau-Se I might do a revamped take on Matoran Makuta in the style of my revamps here, but I will have to think if I would make it somehow melded with his Void form. I will not be revisiting my Void Makuta build as I am very happy with it as-is.

@SonicBionicleMaster Thanks a lot! Building the villagers is fun, the only problem is now that I want to have even more built!
