Proto-Kongu Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi everyone, I have something fairly unusual for you all: an attempt at making the classic Toa Kaita from the new Uniter sets! Disclaimer time: The leg design for Wairuha was directly inspired by JakTheMad's Ultimate Wairuha on the BZPower Flickr Group. HOWEVER, this, along with the rest of Wairuha, has been reworked, redesigned, and customized to use only pieces from the Uniters and suit my personal style of building. While Akamai does use some similar techniques, he is even further removed from the original source (Not that you can tell ). None of this is meant to infringe on or take credit for JakTheMad's innovative design. If the similarities are here considered problematic, I have no issue with this topic being dragged to the pit by Botar. Link to Imgur Gallery (also features a frightened Umarak and a few possible Unity modes): https://imgur.com/a/wOvdQ I tried to incorporate as many features from the Uniters as possible; Both figures have a full waist swivel function and can unite with most of the creatures. The weapons can switch between two one-handed weapons and one two-handed weapon per figure. Akamai's weapon hilariously features Onua's six-shooter, Tahu's extending blade function, and Pohatu's wrecking ball in one goofy-looking gadget. Also, if anyone wants to build these guys, I'll be working on step-by-step instructions for them. Thanks for checking this out! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Jaxus Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 frightened Umarak Looks more like he's having a tantrum in that he has no friends to combined with or something. But the Kaita are impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Onuto Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Those look REALLY COOL! Edited January 27, 2016 by Toa Onuto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCGR Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'm a big fan of both Akamai and Wairuha, so seeing them done with all the new sets is very cool. You did a really good job at making imposing combiners without being too bulky or disproportionate. If I had to give a criticism I'd say the weapons seem a bit crazy as two handed weapons, but that's more of my personal preference.

The Invisible Handman Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Well it's good you've kept the functionalities of the unity sets in your Kaita so that's great. I'd give them bigger feet though, I worry that with their current proportions they'd topple over.
