Well that's an amusing coincidence. Strange story relating to your MOC here, but anyway:On my current version of firefox, when you open tabs you get lots of thumbnails for sites you've visited a lot. And the thumbnail for brickshelf showed a MOC I was interested in, but too small to make out any detail. When you click on the thumbnail, it goes to brickshelf, but the MOCs at the top are random, or at least it was no longer there.And yet here that MOC is. That is luck.Anyway, the torso is awesome, pretty unique build. I don't find the hordika torso piece useful generally, but it's put to good use here. Perhaps for a bulky upper torso, the lower half is a little skinny, but its not to bad.The torso is the highlight, the rest is relatively simple. Not sure what the point of the hand pieces inside the legs are, they seem pointless, and the blue pins used to attach them are a blot on the colour scheme. The sword is cool, an interesting way around the asymeticallity of Jaller Mahri's sword.

The sword is nicely designed and the torso is cool. However, with such a bulky looking build, I suggest that the arms and legs should be bigger. Nice job on this!

Really?

I spent about an hour messing with the lower torso, but just couldn't find a piece of red armor that would fit that didn't make the legs unable to move. The top half was a nightmare to put together, and is held together by luck and bubblegum. and two very loose Axle Spacers XP

I tried adding more peices to the arms, but it kept making them hard to move around, with less bricks around the joints it's easier to pose.

I don't notice many differences. However, it's great that you made the shoulder armor facing down because when they're facing up, they could get in the way of the head movement.

This is pretty good. I like the top part of the torso, but the bottom part is a bit skinny.EDIT: I just saw version 2, and I like it much better. I still suggest bulking up the hips though.

Thanks! I tried to add more armor to the hips, but there aren't any pegholes or studs to put stuff on, I tried everything I could think of to get pieces in there without making him look ridiculously fat.
