The shield looks awesome, but I HATE it when people glue stuff together it basically makes the build less challenging. so I give it a 6/10

[FrozenFlash]

It looks a lot like the real thing which is pretty good. The sword looks cool but it would have looked more cooler and unique if the parts weren't glued together.

There are instructions on how to make the sword without gluing parts. You could use this and some two length technic beams, this, and a 3 length axle.Anyway, I don't like the glued part. I like the shield, and accurate body design.

The MoC itself is great, especially the body and shield (very movie-reminiscient), but the sword's just killing it for me.

Nice revamp, but don't like the mask. Stick with the more yellowish one, it looks better with the color scheme. Either that, or I would incorporate more gold.

[Obsessionist]

The sword is glued, which makes it lose points with me. I do like the more flexible body. If you're going for movie accuracy, the orange Ignika whould probably be best.

You've sorted out the proportions of the set, and the Scarabax shield is a job well done too. The glueing on the sword is a little patchy, but overall pretty good. The two Grey ball joint pieces look a little out of place, I'd try reworking the torso to get the grey out, keeping the posability if it's possible. I'd drop the Thornax launcher all together, you're obviously going for a movie style Mata Nui, and the Thornax just looks kind of stuck on, when it's really unnecessary.Finally, as has been said, I'd switch pack to the mask that comes with the set, it will improve the whole look just by doing that.
