Onvermel Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Been a while since I continued with my posting my toa. Well anyways this is Toa Xalax a toa of The Green. He is technically the oldest moc of the group but not the oldest character as when I updated all the others he technically didn't change except his legs. Because of hos his body was and how the pipes/hoses worked on his torso I decided to give it to the rest. I'll will say this he has gone threw a LOT of changes from his very first form but has been stuck in this one for a while now. Well at least longer than the rest.Xalax Toa of The Green Xalax is a very fun loving and relaxed to(big surprise huh?) who often doesn't take the role seriously but you can always trust him to do the right thing. Unfortunetly he and Vakamu don't get alone at all and have caused a lot of trouble in the past for the group. He carries two clawed gauntlets (I think that's the right way to spell it) which he can store of his back. -Onvermel- 7 Quote "I believe in certainties.

Master Inika Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Nice model. Giving him claws was unexpected, but they work surprisingly well. As much as I love the teal, the color scheme does seem a little too busy. The Mata green seems to clash the most with the rest of the model. Overall, though, I like it a lot.

The Invisible Handman Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 It's an interesting blend of parts and colours, I'm not a fan of the random trans blue on the legs though, but the rest of him is neat.

Millennium Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 He is short, but nice. Gotta love those claws. Where are the green nuva shoulder pads from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onvermel Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 He is short, but nice. Gotta love those claws. Where are the green nuva shoulder pads from?Those are from the technic hockey sets from 2003. Many of the sets from what I remember had several different colour options such as orange, gree, blue, red, white and black. -Onvermel- Quote "I believe in certainties.

KanohiCelt Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Nicely done. I like the color theme and the wide variety of set blending. Quote Kanohi Collectors Guild Secret Handshake Society Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToaTImeLord Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) I think you could come up with a arm design that could better incorporate the claws and also give the figure elbows as well. Over all a nice MOC.I actually like the clashing greens.Gives the figure a almost shock quality in the good way.

Huichelaar Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I actually like the clashing greens.Gives the figure a almost shock quality in the good way. Absolutely agree with this. I count up to five different colours, disregarding the trans-blue in this toa, but the colours flow together so well! The silver manages to draw the eyes to the claws as well, thanks to their contrast. Beautiful colour scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've kinda been wanting to change the arms however nothing has really come up yet that would work better but maybe some day. -Onvermel- Quote "I believe in certainties.
