Hi everyone! Yes, Tahu might be one of the most revamped characters in the entire canon, but he’s also one of the most iconic BIONICLE, so I thought I’d take another stab at him, especially after the positive reception my revamps of Jaller and Turaga Vakama received.
I don’t have a whole lot to comment on this version of Tahu other than I really tried to capture his essence while using many modern parts for increased posing capabilities. He has just enough torso articulation to help in posing, but no so much as to have him wobble about. This is how I picture him in his default Spherus Magna form as he leads that society.
Hope you like him, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on this build!

Phenomenal. The only part I’m not so sure about is the black shoulder armor–I do like how it seems singed, but it also breaks up the red in an unfortunate way to my eyes. Even so, this is a great build and I wish I could like it more than once.

Very cool. A nice Toa build for some pretty cool matoran. Also yeah the shoulders do disrupt the color scheme some but at the same I like how they reflect the black shoulders on the original set.

@MooCowsRock That’s very kind! As @ChubChub86 said, I purposefully did the black shoulder armor to call to mind the original set, and also to balance out his pelvis. Glad you like him!
@ChubChub86 Thank you very much! Totally valid mark on the shoulders; I suppose I could have compromised with black Nuva shoulders, but alas, I do not have any in usable condition.
