Bionicle 2015 Toa Mods

[Takanuinuva]

I made some much needed improvements since the original post. So I figured it warranted a new topic for them.

So without further ado here they are

I think you're going to have to emphasize how you improved these, because to be blunt none of these models seem better than the originals, some of them even seem worse.

"These aren't good" isn't constructive, and it's not even really criticism. If there's something you don't like about a MOC, then be specific, but posts like this aren't helpful.

Fair enough I'll strive to be constructive in my critisizm.

 

The changed elbows to ball joints without axels weakens them all, making them more loose even if they re more flexible. This tends to lead to problems with mocs wielding heavy weapons down the line.

 

Gali look like her original version so not much to comment on.

 

The silver on Kopaka means his chestplate is the only gold part it has, making his colour scheme ill distributed. Alongside this the lack of colours beyond white and silver is dull.

 

Lewa looks like he originally did but the bulky leg armour looks wrong.

 

The new orientation of Onua's head and body into a more upright stance make's his huge chest and proportions feel awkward, the silver without gold is also a bit dull.

 

Pohatus feet and legs are too odd, there's also too much brown on his arms compared to the rest of the set. The spike pieces on his arms look off in a Bionicle set.

 

Like I said with the other sets, getting rid of the gold on Tahu feels like a poor choice. He lacks something comparable to the distinctive outline of the original. His shoulders seem off and the armour of his upper legs is not quite as good as it could be, especially since he now looks thicker around the lower thighs than his lo
