Constructelf Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 If you take a close look at the Suletu, you may see that it has what appears to be teeth. Are those actually teeth? Or is that just a mouth grile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonesiii Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 It's a mask, so no, just part of the mold. Also, that's the organic version; we don't know what the standard shape looked like. It may have changed to look more "alive".

The 1st Shadow Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 There goes bonesii, always with the correct answer. It's possible, though, that it was a sort of grill on the mask, and that when it was made organic, the grill changed to look a little bit like teeth.Although I'm going to assume that it'll all come down to, "because the set designers made it that way." :PThere's my two cents.

Makuta Matata Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I think it's more like Gali's mask in MoL or something like that, where it takes the shape of a mouth, but the actual mouth is behind it. And that's only Kongu Inika's Suletu, mind you. Quote Three on Three - Memoirs of the Dead - Winner!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maganar Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Well it would be cool if those were his teeth...Well, you know, they always could be. It's possible that Kongu's organic Suletu had a recessed portion there and Lego was trying to give the impression that gritted teeth were visible in the opening. Regardless, seems more likely that it really is just supposed to be an idiosyncrasy of the organic Suletu's outward appearance. As far as I'm aware, most Toa don't have viciously pointed teeth. Then again, most Toa aren't created by Red Star energies lashing out...I still think they aren't teeth. I do kind of like 1st Shadow's take on it, though. There might be something the teeth-like shape being an organic alteration on a pre-existing grill on the normal version. The main gist of it is probably that the designers thought it looked more fearsome, so they made it that way without bothering to ask the story department to cook up an explanation.
