UnderscoreChronix Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 My sets arrived yesterday, so I built some Kaita with them. http://imgur.com/a/rmPmS 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chro Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Awesome work!Out of curiosity, did these use up all of the pieces from their respective component sets, or just a majority of the parts?Contrasting them to the Chir brothers' 2015 Kaita MOCs/mockups, which are the only others I recall seeing so far that I've really liked, I'd say that their MOCs capture the feel of the old Kaita better, while yours look better overall.

Also, didn't they just make Wairuha? Edited January 6, 2015 by Toa Chronix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chro Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 They posted an LDD mockup of Akamai, although Wairuha is the only one they've completed. Quote save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I like Akamai, though I feel it could have been a little better. Quote I HATE SCORPIOS ~Pohatu Master of Stone, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st Shadow Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) I like Akamai, though I feel it could have been a little better.In what ways? The torso is too wide for the height (or lack, thereof). It should be taller in order to better match the limbs and shoulders.

Prowl Nightwolf Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 These are nice Though a comparison shot to see how they stack up to their originals would be cool to see. I remember making a version of these with my Toa, though because I owned Onua, Gali and Lewa, it was not exactly the canonical version. Something about the aspect of them becoming a much larger robot I think may have been what got me into Bionicle in the first place and why I wanted to collect multiple sets.

Ford Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Very nice combo MOCs. I love the way you made Akamai's shoulders look so broad. Quote http://i.imgur.com/kbP5Svg.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/O8CcqC5.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/kbP5Svg.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBBN Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I have to agree with the wide shoulders criticism. It's cool that you chose to actually use Onua's claws in the same manner as the original, though being such large pieces they sort of leave you with wide shoulders to compensate (hence why I opted for the feet instead) Wairuha looks better proportionally, and I do like the updated versions of his older weapons.

Mysterious Minifig Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I like Wairuha the best. The build looks nice and the shaping is well done. The color scheme isn't too bad either. Akamai is okay but I think it has some issues. The shoulders seem like they're just boxes attached to the torso. It would probably be okay if they weren't as wide, but the current width with increases the effect making it worse. Other than that it looks fine. I'm not sure if I like the purple in it, but I don't if there would be a better place to include it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowl Nightwolf Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 So is there a 6 Master Toa deal in the works? Is that a thing; all 6 Toa together?

Perhaps I should try... Really nice Toa Kaita MOCs! Akamai's upper legs are a bit too small in my opinion, but other than that these look pretty great! And yes, you should try! I'm surprised no one has built one yet.

Toa of Gallifrey Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Awesome! I echo that Akamai could be a little taller. If you have any leftover friction joints that can help, but be warned you'll need some extra grip from gloves or something to take them apart. Other than that, they look fantastic. Great work!

I made a Toa Nuva Nui once (as the 2002 Toa Nuva are my only full team), which captured the aesthetic of the original Kaita and could surprisingly stand well (even if it doesn't look it at all) but looks bizarre. xD If anyone wants a picture, feel free to PM me.
