Toa Mahrii Revamps


Recommended Posts

Now these aren't revamps in the sort that are increased in size or complexity so dont go clicking the links and expecting anything of the standards of some MOCers.

 

The story is that I got all the Toa Mahrii sets about a year ago, and well... to be honest I wasn't that happy with them. My main gripe was with Nuparu who just looked horrible in my opinion. He looked like a man of brute strength and at least I had never seen him that way. Thats why I decided to alter them.

 

These are not so much revamps as they are alterations of the current models. I did this for three reasons really

 

1. I wanted them to still be consistent with the rest of my collection

2. I dont have many spare pieces

3. Well... Im just not a very experienced MOCer, or a MOCer at all really

 

So here they are:

 

Kongu

Cant say I really changed much on Kongu, seeing as its really just added a piece on his torso. Just thought I'd add him in anyway.

 

Hahli

Okay, so even though I dint change Hahli that much, over all I feel she is one of the most aesthetically pleasing. Really all I did was raise her neck, and change her torso up a little. It may sound small, but an experienced MOCer like myself, found it quite challenging to all put together. Its also probably unnecessarily complex to because Im sure someone could do it in half the parts I used.

 

Hewkii

I actually changed this guy up a fair bit. Gave him new limbs which look a bit more fitting for him in my opinion. I also changed up his torso and gave him a Cordak bow as his weapon.

 

Nuparu

This was the one that actually changed the most. I really really didnt like the set and was actually the reason why I decided to change the others in the first place. I dont think are many pieces on him that came with the set at all.

 

I do have both Jaller and Matoro, but to be honest I thought they were quite nice sets so decided to leave them.

 

So, please. Say what you feel about them. Just remember the three points above.

 

Thank you!

Personally, I think Nuparu still looks sleek to me XD Can't really see the silver Metru-chest piece attached to his back, so that kind of negates the bulkiness you were giving him there. Well, that's a photo-lighting issue I guess; it should be more obvious in real-life.

 

The design's kind of growing on me though, nice work :D

I think you misunderstand. The original set looks bulky. I wanted this one to look slender

I believe that I have finally found someone other than myself who does canister-sized MOCs!! These are pretty good alterations here, and I like how you've incorporated some HF pieces in. However, a few minor things: 1. Hahli looks slightly like her head would be quite wobbly (Correct me if I'm wrong), and also I find the head a little bit too sticky-uppy. 2. The transition between legs and feet on Nuparu looks slightly weird, kind of like when you have a Mata foot attached to an Inika leg, so I would suggest bigger feet there. 3. A bow doesn't really feel like the type of weapon which a Toa of Stone should have. And 4. Hewkii's mask doesn't seem complete, mainly because you're missing the piece on the mouth. But other than that, these are pretty good alterations, and again, it is nice to see someone else who does canister MOCs!
