FordianL at the BCC Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Album w/ photos of my cartoony incarnations of the Toa can be found here. These were a few challenges to making these fit the theme. For starters, I wanted them all to have a cartoony look to them sort of like in the online animations. This meant exaggerated features: limbs, weapons, you get the idea. At the same time, I wanted to keep the color schemes intact, if not improve upon them (in the case of Kopaka's silver). With all of them (except Gali) I included the gearbox and built the body around it using the smallest torso available. Each Toa with the gearbox still has a gear function, but I could not include it on Tahu due to how his back swords are placed. Gali was the easiest, as she does not have a gearbox.By far, the hardest one to get right was Lewa. The challenge with him was to keep the original aesthetic, including the shoulder spikes and glider, which forced me to make a compromise. The glider is formed by placing the "wings" on Lewa's back, and works out a lot better than having to make gigantic arms. Out of this grouping, Lewa came out the best. In fact, I think I did well on making all of them look the part. And yes, I know about Onua's torso piece. Blame T1S for using up my last blank chest piece in black.

The 1st Shadow Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 OMIGOSH they're so adorable! Seriously, though. Nice work. I like how Onua's now the taller of the group.

FordianL at the BCC Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 What's with the LoSS?I wanted to make a mini version of LOSS like a spider-centaur kind of thing. That picture is a month old, and I have since scrapped the model.The Toa, however, are still intact, and I am still wrestling with the idea of making mini Skull villains once they come out.
