I received my gift, and it is just super mega awesome fantastic! I love it!

Rode, Iden, and Kaukau Nuva standard form. 

Sent mine earlier. This was a lot of fun, and I can't wait to see what someone else made for me!

I was inspired by this image (created by our very own Crunchyn) to write this, and I also decided to add a holiday twist. Enjoy!

Ingredients from the jungles of Le-Wahi…

Water from Ga-Koro’s purist spring…

Heated in the fires of Ta-Wahi's largest volcano, and preserved using the coals of Onu-Koro…

Or cooled in the coldest caverns of Ko-Koro to keep you going on the hottest day in Po-Wahi…

Chronicler’s Coffee is here for you!

We’ve traveled all over Mata Nui to find the best ways to make the coffee you love, and serve in every nook and cranny of the island. Even the Makuta cannot stop us from sharing our coffee. In fact, he can’t resist it at all. How many other coffee shops can lay claim to pleasing the Makuta? That’s right: no one can!

This Naming Day Eve, we’re giving out one free cup of Johmak to everyone who comes in our doors, because we don’t want anyone to feel like they don’t belong. (pause) Toa get a free Box of Johmak, too!

So what are you waiting for? Make the holidays better with help from Chronicler’s Coffee!

Ahsoka Tano gets my vote!

My favorite character gets my vote here, and it's none other than R2-D2!

My goodness, Hathos' forearms are brilliant.  I would never have thought of that, but it looks fantastic.  I'm not sure the big tan shields were really necessary, though. Those bulky forearms look like they don't need protection.  Maybe switch the gold fingers to silver if you have the parts?  Silver shin armor might help the color scheme as well. Great character concept.

 

Notu and Zatto look simple but well done.

I fixed that for you.

I did end up putting some of the new silver armor shell add-ons on the shins, and it makes Hatho look loads bulkier, which I love! Now to get not-gold fingers...

I must agree with Obsessionist. Hatho's forearms are very clever, indeed, if simple. It's the simplicity of them that makes it so ingenius! Never seen it done before, and it works well here! That's a thing I've noticed about your MOCs--they're generally fairly simple in execution, but your choices of color and parts gives each model such a nice style and appearance that it more than makes up for it. Excellent work!

Big and cluttered =/= best, my good sir!

My style is that small and simple are great when it looks great.

I have a few MOCs that I never got around to posting this year, even though I had previously intended to do so, so I decided to include a few here. I may add more, but for now, I bring to you:

Hatho, Toa of Stone

Notu, the clumsy Ko-Matoran

Zatto, Toa of Earth

A gallery featuring all three of these MOCs can be found here.

This is pretty cool. The helmet looks spot on, the inclusion of the two different lightsabers gives it a nice touch, and overall looks faithful to the in-game model. I would like to see more individual pictures, though.

You can find the album by clicking here!

Not much has changed for my Self-MOC since September, aside from a revamped color scheme of added dark azure. I also tried my hardest to add a bit more to the chest. All said and done, I'm happy with it.

To everyone saying they'd like to live in the jungle, you do realize that pretty much everything in the jungle can kill you?

Solution: just... kill them first?

I should be able to watch this tonight! It'll be a good reliever from nonstop studying for finals.

I really like the look of this set! It nails the shape and looks as spot-on as you can get to the movie material. I'd love to get it, but the price is just horrendous. I'd like to wait and see if it hopefully gets a clearance at a store or a reduced price anywhere before getting it, because at the current price point I'd much rather get the new X-Wing!

So! How is everyone faring so far? I plan on sending out reminder PMs around the 16th or 17th. And, just as a reminder for how to go about things, please try to PM your recipient with the gift first, even if you plan on posting it after.

I already have the base setup for my gift, I just need to execute the full plan. I could release it as is, but I'd like to make it something special for the receiver and the rest of the viewing audience. I should hopefully be able to complete the full project after finals are done this coming week.

Get ready for math, battles, and more... where was I going with this...?

...in Temporary Insanity!

I'd love to be either overlooking a forest or in a snowy area, both in a log cabin. I'd like my home to seem cozy and warm, and these environments would make that possible. I guess the Northern Frost on Spherus Magna or the Region of Ice would fit, as well as the Region of Jungle or the area just outside of the Valley of the Maze.

Hi!

Um...

...Hello?

Am I the only one who thinks the new torso piece looks like a Mynock?

Behold! The incredible Month of Earth rant!

This looks like fun! I'm glad that the Kanohi Force is venturing to new places.

Insta-sub from me!

If we end up with an uneven number of participants, perhaps we can get Black Six to join in.

This. Must. Happen.

I would love to do this! I've been feeling in the mood to MOC recent with finals coming up; it's a great stress reliever...

Count me in!

I was just thinking of building a character from Star Wars, and this just gave me motivation to do so!

Me several years ago:
"I'd like to give this guy a different mask..."

Later...

"I only have one mask in that color, and it's the one I have here..."

After reminiscing...

"I wish I had gotten [insert set here] when I had the chance..."

Back to today:

[copy and paste the above]

"This turtle keeps itself in the air by sheer force of anger alone."

So its own rage keeps it airborne?

Remind me not to throw the turtles in the water anymore, or throw fruit at them. That would be bad...
