Toa Kaita

I was thinking to myself, why not celebrate my 300th blog entry with an MOC!

 

But Xccj, you suck at MOCing...

 

Silence!

 

*Ahem* Anyway, here's an exclusive MOC to go along with a few sets I recently purchased.

Yeppers, it's a Toa combo of the Phantoka... well, Toa. Something I kinda enjoy doing is limiting myself to using only pieces found in sets... and in this case I didn't have much of a choice, because I only have a few canister sets with me.

 

This dude has got some pretty powerful shoulders. Unfortunately, he doesn't contain that almightiness of the original Toa Kaita Mata, as he's waaaaay hunched over. But, hey, he looks strong, and Wairuha Nuva looked horrid hunched over too. Anyway, the hunch allows for excellent positioning of the propellers, and there are some wings back there too. The Legs are certainly the worst part here... and I even used up most of the pins and axles I had putting them together. At least he's stabilized.

 

The color scheme isn't that bad... lime and orange contrast sharply, and the whites off, but they all stand out nicely from the gray. And, somehow in the positioning of the armor, he doesn't look like a horribly skinny dude with broad shoulders. If Lego released this, I'd probably beat somebody over the head. (Over exaggeration, but I wouldn't be impressed.) But as an MOCist...

 

Well, I'm still not impressed. Now that I've taken his picture, I'm going to disassemble him and turn him back into the original Toa.

 

Don't even think of asking for a Makuta Kaita. 1: The storyline doesn't support a merger of multiple Makuta. 2: I'm not buying any more of the winter Makuta... you'll just have to wait until I get Bitil and Krika, and even then I am not touching Gorast.

But... but... DALEKS ARE THE SUPREME BEINGS! And that means that if you try to do that YOU ARE AN ENEMY OF THE DALEKS! YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATED! Have I not made my point clear?

Fortunately for you, this will only happen if Lego messes up and releases this, and we all know that Lego never messes up sets.

 

Either that or start wearing a helmet... as a precaution.

To protect your cool armor.

 

And you don't even know the danger you're in because you HAVEN"T EVEN SEEN THE MOC! Muhahaha...

Gorast...

*vomits*

Anyway, not a horrid combo.

I wish his body was a bit thinner/longer though. The legs and arms match in terms of size, but the body...

You make me want to get more Phanuva. :(
But first, Photok.

Wow, I never realized that white, gray, lime-green, and orange look so good together. Really, I think they do.

 

Anyway, onto the actual MOC itself, I never thought I'd see the day when someone could make a good Kaita using the Inika torso(I may like the Inika torso, but I know it ain't that great for making Kaitas with). He looks pretty bulky and somehow reminds of the 2001 combiners somehow. Very creative. Good job.

 

It looks like you put alot of effort into it(That is, if you put any effort at all in it).

Not a bad combo of three sets, and you had a goal in mind.

 

You need to MOC more, they you'd get better. I don't know what sets you have, but you'll be home for the summer soon, so I'm sure you'll have more time to practice.

*Bangs CF on the head next* NO! My school is not on the same schedule as everybody else so I still have two more months to go. *bang*

 

I have slowly gotten more and more votes in the BBC contests I've entered over time, so I am getting better... just haven't gotten good enough. :P
