BlackboltJohnson Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Powered by the Spirit of the Woodlands (Thasos is Greek for "forest"), this Toa overwhelms his enemies on the battlefield by calling forth all manor of forest-dwelling plants and animals. All creatures are at his command, which means that no battle against Thasos is ever really one-on-one. With his telepathic abilities he is essentially an army unto himself. Back view. . .

Tarn Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) I really like Toa of Plantlife (I guess that's what he sorta is) and how the Great Mahiki looks so I may be a bit biased by saying I like this but WHO CARES. :V Both things mentioned above aside, he looks cool. The plant-y details and the colors are snazzy and the torso build looks pretty clever since it appears to be a CCBS skeleton with Inika armor and other pieces placed over it. The shell piece connecting to the balljoint at the bottom of it looks a bit off though.

The shell piece connecting to the balljoint at the bottom of it looks a bit off though. Thanks! Indeed it is a CCBS torso with a bunch of other random armor pieces layered on. My basic idea is to build according to color scheme. So for this guy since I was going for the forest theme, I attempted to use every color in my collection that seemed "woodsy". I think my favorite aspect of it is the viney appendages sticking out all over the place. It really accents the design, I think. For that lower shell piece under the groin, I was attempting a skirted look with those 3 bright green pieces. They don't fit as tightly together as I would've liked, unfortunately. In any case, appreciate your feedback and thanks for looking dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millennium Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 An exceptional combination of old and new, just the way I like it! The colors blend together really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onuki Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Really great work! Lots of great poses of this MOC and the colors make it very enjoyable to look at! I think maybe normally a MOC with so many colors might look distracting, but with the theme going on here, all the greens and browns are perfect; and the gold fits right in! Now THIS is a great use for the new Gen 2 Bionicle gold pieces! The tentacles/vines are also great details. Also, good job making a MOC using Matau Metru's mask that is a completely separate, believable character! Great work again and thanks for posting!

Evergrey: Toa of Music Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I love the color scheme! It's perfect! The weapons are pretty sick as well. The arms look kind of like roots as well which I find very cool! Very nice job!

Petewa Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I honestly misread this as "Thanos" He definitely looks like the king of the jungle forest. Quote Mataru Nui, an Interactive Adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackboltJohnson Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Thanks guys! Really great feedback on this one. And Onuki especially, you always have the most encouraging words. You should coach a sports team, I feel. I bet you'd have those kids really fired up for every game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiriamu Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Loving this design-great use of the vine pieces in a way that fits the aesthetic. If the Element Lord of Jungle had been given a set form, it couldn't have been much better than this.
