Toa of Gallifrey Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I don't actually hate it, just the waffle iron eye and its appearance w/o wings (but I also dislike most Mahri masks w/o modifications). I just wrote that cause of Chro's post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahkshi Lalonde Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 it's too sharp and angular, looks more befitting an HF helmet. (i don't mind the eye thing so much as the jawline thing though.) it also just doesn't feel like a kaukau, which is basically its main purpose, so... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa of Gallifrey Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I don't mind that it doesn't feel like the original, I like big differences in form changes. I just dislike the aforementioned eye. You've got a point on the jawline and being fitting for HF, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chro Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I like the Mistikaukau, just not as a Kaukau, like RL said I don't like the noble Mahiki, it feels like two converging mask designs for some reason Also the Inika masks, because although they'd likely have been super awesome normally, the rubberyness made them not so 2 save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 1st Shadow Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I actually like the Adaptive Kaukau... I don't like using any of the '08 masks as their listed forms. I liked the theory that the Adaptive masks took on forms similar to other pre-existing masks that we haven't seen yet. For example, Mistika Tahu was actually wearing a Mask of Charisma. Gali's Kaukau could easily be representative of any other unknown mask shape. Now, onto the Kanohi design I don't like...In terms of appearance, the Mohtrek.In terms of functionality and use, the Garai. It's just too big and awkward. 1 ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventurer Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 ...Adaptive Kaukau Nuva isn't that bad, I think it looks kinda cool. Not a traditional design but not bad. Personally I actually didn't like a lot of the original Nuva Kanohi, particularly the Hau and Pakari, which sucks cause I really liked the original designs for those masks. The Kakama and Miru Nuva were quite cool I thought though luckily. I also wasn't a fan of the Inika masks in general I think - not how they worked (I liked the rubber head thing at the time) but the design of the faces felt a little too ugly for me on some of them. 2 Credit to Pohuaki for the awesome banner!

Kask Daxxe Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I don't think the kaukau mistika flavour is quite as bad as the phantoka akaku. Or kakama. OrActuallty all the adaptive masks look pretty bad to me. How Do you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFlash Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Besides the adaptive Kaukau and the Inika masks, it's probably the Garai. It doesn't exactly look like a mask and looks more like an axe blade. Edited September 1, 2014 by Flux: The Explorer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akavakaku Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I really dislike the Hau Nuva and Pakari Nuva.

OculusNuva Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Aside from the already mentioned Adapted Kaukau Nuva, I really didn't like the Kanohi Elda, with it's tube-mustache and ugly angry look. It looks in no way feminine either.I actually liked the other Inika masks, such as the Iden and the Kadin. "Toa of Magnetism and Sarcasm" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishers64 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The Hau Nuva I never really liked, nor really any of the Nuva masks. They never were as cool as the originals IMO. And for some reason, every single Huna design struck me as wrong. The Metru Set version looked creepy, the Metru movie version looked plain, the Turaga movie version looked too angular and like Vakama had a beard, and the Mata Set/comic version looked octagonal, like he was missing ears. They just couldn't get my mask right. And then there are the 2008 Makuta masks, which looked disgusting. I suppose that was the point.

Axilus Prime Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Odd, I liked both the Nuva and Adapted masks, though it seems they're unpopular. Adapted Kaukau is definitely the worst of the bunch, but I don't hate it. As for a mask design I really don't like...Vezon's Ignika. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reya Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) I was never too found of the Kaukau Nuva or its adapted form. Though Hahli and Jaller Inika's Mask were definitely my least favourite. Edited September 2, 2014 by Reya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toatapio Nuva Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Mistika Kaukau (just plain ugly) and Elda (for a girl, seriously?) are pretty much equal on this. After those two, I dislike the Garai and Faxon the most. 1 My BZPRPG profiles - Viima, Lai Lai Kirgan, Jarkale, Hile, Tuli + Kavala, Khervos, Thira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Smoke Monster Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I have to go with the 08 Kaukau Nuva too. It just looks horrible. Then again, the 02 Kaukau Nuva wasn't the best Kanohi either. I always prefer the original Kaukau over the other two, simply because it looked the best on Gali.

dviddy Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I think the Olmak represents everything that went wrong with Kanohi designs over the years. Huge, over-designed, complicated, and lacking any distinct visual aesthetic. It's my least favourite mask out of everything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 The Nuva masks in general were too organic for their time. The Pakari Nuva and the Kaukau Nuva (cow nose?! On the only female?!) were the worst. As far as the other masks people have been mentioning, I like the design, but it's the application that ruins them. The Inika masks were all really well designed (the Calix and Iden are some of my favorite Kanohi), but they were rubber, had odd faces, and practically unusable on normal heads. No one could really complain about the Elda or Adaptable Kaukau if they didn't happen to be on the only females of the wave. The Adaptable masks in General were fairly well designed, but they lacked any features resembling the old Mata masks, which I kind of expected. The Hau didn't even have the round mouth! I honestly can't defend the Garai either, but it can be used well (i.e.: Ballom's Elephantine). Other masks that are just really odd are the Zatth (though it still is pretty cool), Volitak, and Noble Matatu. ~ Corpus Rahkshi: Fang | Hoto | Tube | Tear | Canvas | Garrotte | Reda BZPRPG: Azusai | Mitsuri The Scarabax Library | Flickr | Deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBK Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Pakari Nuva. All these years, and I still recall memories of trying to use the mask on MOC's in a way that would work past its awkwardly lumpy largeness. I never succeeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
