Of Thulox And Va


ToM Dracone

395 views

I bought Thulox yesterday... I like him a lot more than I was expecting to.

 

He's actually sort of cute. I wish his body were both more substantial and more fixed in construction, but the Kalmah armor keeps his back double-socket from moving around, and the fact that his front socket can move means he can realistically put one leg in front of the other when walking. I would prefer his tail socket fixed in place, though. And because of the vertical alignment of his body sockets, his legs can't go into their box pose, but that's forgivable. His color scheme is much more coherent than Morak's, at any rate.

 

I actually only got him for pieces. I need the red Visorak feet to build a Combat Nektann (I don't have Vohtarak), and the extra black double-sockets means I can finish my Reidak revamp without tearing into Brutaka, Vezon, or Nocturn.

And now I like him so much that I made a sprite of him!

 

On the subject of MOCing, I had to tear apart Keetongu, Roodaka, the Toa of Shapeshifting, Oohnorak, and Mantax recently for my BBC 42 entry. Or entries, rather. A whole flock of them.

 

Because Bohrok Va are just so adorable that it's worth it. ^_^

You still have Brutaka, Vezon, and Nocturn built :blink: . You just took apart Keetongu, Roody, Oohnorak, and Mantax :blink: . Wow. I took them apart a long time ago. So you're making Bohrok Va for your entry? Revamped? Can't wait to see them and Reidak.

Gah. Nocturn, not Kalmah; I was thinking of the two at the same time and typed the wrong one...

Kopakalaka ~ Um, I do... I don't need their parts for anything; why wouldn't I have them built? Same for Oohnorak, Mantax, and (somewhat) Keetongu and the Queen...

 

DV ~ Yes, yes, I will. :P I'm actually pretty close to finishing him. I just need to make forearms and adorn his drill.

 

Shine ~ ... Is there something so weird about that?? :lookaround: *hides with people who also keep their sets built*

 

I should mention that Keetongu and Roodaka were not exactly intact. Both were missing an arm and a lot of Throwbot feet, Keetongu had some of his joints swapped out, Roodaka was missing her breast armor and the Metru foot on her chest...

I don't know. I just never keep my sets together. I usually take them apart after a month. I did rebuild Hakann for a pic, though, and he's still mostly intact.

 

I usually do that too. I hate to take sets/MOCs apart, but they have such good pieces :drooling: .

The only set I have intact is half a Garan. The rest are scattered across many beautiful colour-coded bags.

 

And finish that Reidak revamp soon, please. I want to publicly say how awesome it is.
