Popular Post dviddy Posted June 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2016 I started this MOC in... December? It's been so many different things before I finally hit on the overall theme it was leading me to. I wanted to use the Phoenix shield that the fire-themed Chima Laval set came with, but I can't find where I put it to save my life. So boring gold shield it is! Sort of another take on the space in culture where Western and Eastern military and battle costumes have influenced each other back and forth. This one as a more fleshed-out Kopaka concept. I had a good time with this once I knew what I wanted it to be! And who says our Toa of Ice can't use red as a secondary colour?? 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallior Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Wow, another great DeeVee MOC has come to bless us all! I remember seeing this wonderful MOC at BricksCascade earlier this year, and while it was cool, it wasn't quite recognizable as Kopaka. Now, however, it is instantly Kopaka. The gold kind of distracts from the rest of the colors, but the rest of it is great. Your signature wheel legs and feet really complete the effect. Bravo!

The Invisible Handman Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Yeah this is kinda cool, I'm none too sure I like the elbows, or the lack of icy blue or light grey on a Kopaka build. On it's own however this is a neat design. Quote {Brickshelf Page - BZPRPG Profile - HFRPG Profile - Project Protodermis Profile} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuuli Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 This is unprecedented skill of building, I salute thee. I can easily enjoy the oriental features and the colors work well together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Kind of a bold move, moving Kopaka over to red and gold secondary colours - and I think it really, really pays off. I think it would be fairly interesting to see all six original Toa redesigned with unusual/unexpected choices for secondary colours (or, in the case of several of them, any secondary colours at all), and... Well, to be honest, if the official sets looked like this, I'd start buying them again. The whole design is very sleek and functional, with the construction of the torso in particular being very impressive.

Toa Imrukii Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Interesting Color choice TBH. Personally a name signifying Ice I would think would be more so in-line with that theme, having tones of white, grey, blue, what have you. I never really thought of Kopaka ever having such colors until the reboot. If this is mant to go in-line with his current appearance, only more so decked out, you sir have aced that. Though, I am very unsure of the Red on him, perhaps it could signify a sort of Leaderal dominance within the team, or a more so independents and seperate member representing his own. in any case it's quite fantastic, as is much of your work I've seen.

FrozenPancake_ Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Samurai Kopaka, anyone? I honestly don't know how I feel about giving Kopaka red and gold, but it's unique. The usage of the minifig backpack as a belt pouch is great.The torso build is superb. My one critique is the custom hand design; it's a little odd to me, having only two fingers and a thumb. I suppose it resembles the large two-fingered Mata hands in a way, so if that's what you were going for, it works. Also, congrats on getting featured!
