Rockoh T3


I just realized that the Pohatu on Rockoh T3 has a flipped torso... A bit different from the classic one, but it's a nice bit of attention to detail. I now know how I'll modify Pohatu when I get this: He'll have the flipped torso and head-spikes, but the arms of the canister version and silver foot-additions with Photok's feet.

 

He's gonna be cool.

Wonder how he looks from the back, though.

One of the many reasons I hate Rockoh.

Why in the world you you flip that torso? It's obvious the back should be the front... it just looks nasty. Still, it's easy enough to fix.

*shakes head*

*doesn't understand the designer's logic*

Is it good for Pohatu to have a normal torso?

Is it right?

Better than having a backwards torso.

 

It's another thing to have it upside down though. Obviously it wouldn't work on these newfangled things, but on the old style it worked grandly.

 

Let me put it this way: Would Pohatu Nuva look good with a right-side-up torso and his nuva armor on his back? Methinks he wouldn't...

Eh, I don't really like any of the vehicle riders, they're too simple...

Even if the torsos are flipped :P

Well, your addition should hopefully make him better...

And that foot addition idea is genius! I should buy Photok just for that! :P ~♪

I noticed that way back when I first saw the leaked pics...

Random gloatyness aside,

But, pohatu is cool like this. Only he can get away with a messed-up torso.

I likes Photok foot idea...

Don't forget to swap out the back armor for the Matoro Inika style. As much as I love Pohatu Newva Newva, I can't fathom why LEGO chose to use a design that leaves gaping holes in the torso.

 

It's clear why most of the changes took place, even if I don't like them. The length of the limbs was changed to allow for more realistic proportions, and thus a more realistic appearance in the necessary pose for riding Rockoh. The limbs, too, needed to be simplified for said reason. This by no means indicates that I like these changes-- I hate the use of Rahkshi shins on Toa or really on much of anything where they are not bulked up as in Roodaka and Sidorak (though by no means is this the only acceptable way to do so, just the best featured in an actual set), and I find that the longer limbs are pretty hideous in this particular set. Still, the winged visor and flipped torso make everything worthwhile. :)

EXTREEEEEME!!!

I seriously thought that it was like that to protect him from back-attacks.
