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.
