Mate.397 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Mata-Nui-2014-Redux-476691598 Now before everybody starts the comment, listen up, there is a simple reason for his mask to be a golden Hau and not the Ignika, as we all know Mata Nui's symbol is the Kanohi Hau there for when Mata Nui as rebuilding his body his memory kicked in about the Hau and technically merged the Mask of Life with a Hau, imagine the Hau ith the Ignika standing figure engraved into it or similar. Same goes for his torso, by default the mask wanted to recreate the giant robot form's figure but for lack of proper materials to work with Mata Nui's frame became more of a mixture of Glatorian, Toa and his robot form. I have no idea how long has this been lying around half built until the spark came a few days ago, plus I had to wait for the cape to arrive via mail which was today, with the cape I wanted to give him a more of an outcast/nomad sort of look, I would have made a custom cape/shroud but I lack the proper materials sadly. hen building I tried to save some of the older designs of the limbs as much as possible but also giving it an updated look. The shield is the same as before you can find that one's built on YouTube made by IBurion if I recall. The sword is my build, took me some time to figure out a fitting enough weapon for him.Detail close-ups:Leghttp://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Mata-Nui-Legs-476693484 Torsohttp://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Mata-Nui-Torso-476693804 Armhttp://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Mata-Nui-Arm-476693997 Backhttp://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Mata-Nui-Back-476694357 Swordhttp://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Mata-Nui-Sword-476694185 Comparisonhttp://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Mata-Nui-Comparison-476694565 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuuli Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 He's a bit over the top, but the use of technic pieces is very appealing especially if you loved the first generation. The gold hau is just what I would expect him to wear but overall this is a cool mata-nui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
