A Mock Of Mine...
Yeah, you read right Not MOC but rather Mock...
A while back I found that one can almost make a whole Toa Inika (Or Mahri or a Piraka... or even, it appears, Phantoka [both Toa and Makuta]) using almost all Pearl Dark Grey (AKA: Gunmetal). I quickly snapped a Toa together, and here he is.
I guess the thing that is decent about these kinds of Toa is their articulation. They can move at their hands, feet, knees, elbows, thighs, shoulders, and their necks (13 points of articulation for those keeping score at home). Thus one can pose them, like So:
My main complaint however is the proportions in these characters. Especially the length of their arms. In normal humanoid builds hands come down to the mid thigh--not to or past the knee...
Another thing I have against these designs is the shoulders. Again in normal humanoids shoulders have about the same broadness as their hips, yet with the new Piraka Torso (And even more in Kongu Mahri's torso) the shoulders are way too broad...
So, there you have it. These guys are Action figures--they're becoming almost as bad as the old Galador sets, and while one can still MOC with their parts it's becoming harder and harder...
Yes I know this has been covered by many before, but these are my thoughts on the matter. I am open to any points that one may have--either for or against. Yup
Oh, and if you're curious here's the Gallery.
