Mini Toa 2015


Recommended Posts

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.  :P 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.

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.

Okay, thanks.
