It didn't look live Gavla was closer to "us", it didn't really look like he moved at all. Unless Death moved up to Gavla. Or vice versa. The viewing angle changed. First therr panels were a closeup. Gavla didn't move until later.
Hooray! Friday's lookin' to get better and better! Will the Gali Characters be updated with the female body? Probably change the way it handles female toa, so that all female characters are "updated" without actually modifying the files. That would be my guess.
