Turaga Takanuva

As we know Toa Takanuva had traveled my alternate realities and met various versions of himself or others. In an alternate universe which was called Kingdom, Toa Takanuva visited. his alternate version used his powers to create a new toa team, and transformed into a Turaga. 

​This is my imagining of the Toa of Light turning into a Turaga.

And I'd be grateful if the pointless argument about my mask choice would be dropped, everybody knows the masks morph when a Toa transforms into a Turaga, there for my choice makes just as much sense as any other.

How does he compare in size to the Voyatoran? I see a little of their design in this MoC, which is why I'm asking. Otherwise, he looks a little too hunched over. Remember, the turaga have the stance of old people, not hunchbacks. In short, (no pun intended) perhaps a 7/10.

Why does he have a Kualsi? I like it, but would like to know why you chose it over other gold masks.

They're more or less the same size, I might have accidentally made him a little too hunched back-ish

Eh not really. When a Toa becomes a Turaga their mask becomes it's noble version. For example, a Great Huna would become a Noble Huna. A Great Avohkii would become a Noble Avohkii. The masks don't change into totally different masks, like say, a Hau becoming a Sanok.

a Great Huna would become a Noble Huna. A Great Avohkii would become a Noble Avohkii.

 

Iiiii'm pretty sure there isn't a noble avohkii mask in set form, so i'm assuming they used a close-enough mask design-wise.

 

just a guess.

Have you compared Toa Vakama's mask with Turaga Vakama's? They aren't even similar, let alone the rest, maybe Nokama has the most similar looking. I mentioned this as well, enough with the stupid nitpicking about the mask.

This is a pretty nice MOC, definitely looks like Turaga Takanuva would, very nice design for a small MOC!

[Turaga Majice]

Pretty nice. It reminds me of the Voyatoran design, with a bit more to it. Probably a bit taller. Suits it, that. Your colour scheme is pretty good, though I wonder if you couldn't find a better colour for the upper arm than metru gray. Has there not been a white option for the shorter double-joiner (or whatever you'd call it)?

 

As has been said, your choice of mask is as good as any other -- I personally imagine that the noble avohkii looks like the avohkii of the film, before Takua wore it; the mask that lacked frills on either side and less swoopy on top. As in my avatar.

While I like the body design, I don't fully understand the choice of giving him a Kualsi for the Noble Avohkii. I understand your arguement, but I think the Kualsi would fit better if story-wise you wanted him to have a new Kanohi altogether - personally, I think the Great Avohkii would fit best for a noble one.

 

So, great Turaga MOC, but it doesn't shout Takanuva to me, and that is almost entirely because of the mask choice. Sorry for being so blunt.

I will say this MOC looks like it would be a turaga, but I disagree with the mask choice. I'd probably actually stick with the regular avohkii piece.

In the first post you just said that a Toa's mask morphs when they transform. This is correct, but I just want to know why you chose that mask over something of similar color such as Lhikan's Hau or just an Ahvokii. I'm basically asking what Jam Pot is asking: why this mask instead of another? I'm not saying it was a bad choice- I just want to know why you chose the Kualsi. People ask why creators used certain pieces all the time, and that's what I'm doing here.
