Here we have my entry for BBC63, I reckon my best ever attempt at entering a BBC contest. Enjoy.

Nice! I like how the sword is attached to the arm not to the hand because that actually looks pretty cool. The torso is nicely designed and I like how you covered up every gap without leaving some empty spaces. Also, good luck on the contest, Taipu1!

Cool but maybe you should try to make the feet smaller and is it a he or she?

Agree with you, feet aren't that nice, IMO. And I think it's a "he", female characters are usually Water characters.

Feet would look more fitting on a beast or on a bad guy rather than on a Toa. Whatever. Interesting torso build, I'd say, as well as overall body scheme. I think it's excellent. I don't like the fact that he's got a bike, it seems to HF-ish in my opinion, but if you want to have him to have a bike, well, do that. It's your choice. Just, maybe do it bigger?
I like how he uses the blade. One of the best ways ever, IMO.
Overall a great job, with just few, little cons. 9.5/10

Nice! I like the torso, and the reds work surprisingly well together. I don't like the blue pins, but that can't be helped. Good job, and good luck in the contest!

@FF Ice Man - It's actually meant to be more of a flamethrower than a sword, but it could go eitherway.

@Tomaku - I'm going by MU rules, all Toa of the fire element are male. I had to bulk the feet up a bit, and he still isn't all that steady on his feet.

@Emile A239 - The bike actually is for Tahu, it's deliberately small. It's more in here for size comparisons, because I didn't think it worth making a topic for the bike itself, because it's not particularly interesting. The bike's not included in the entry pic, and it won't be sent off to Brickfair.

@Toa of Geek - Did my absolute best with the blue pins on the arm, spent ages trying to find a different way to attach the sword that didn't involve them. No such luck, and unfortunately I only have one of the really old black axel/pin pieces.

I really like the torso. The color scheme is also good, and I like how you filled every gap with armour.

Lovein' that torso, Taipu. Those legs are nice, but as all others said those feet don't really work for me. Except you had to make it bulkier because it was male, nothing you can do about that. Those arms are pretty basic to me, but I love the way you connected it to the torso. Nice choice of that Adaptive Armor Hau Nuva. It looks good in this Moc. The back is also armored good, which some people don't do. Like the Moc Taipu and good luck in the contest!
