Guurahk?

Time for my final #MetruMarch post for this year, though not my final Hagah post for the month. This time it's Gaaki, Toa Hagah of Water, and Pouks, Toa Hagah of Stone. Like with the Bomonga model I posted earlier, my Gaaki doesn't wear her properly colored armor because I don't want to paint the required pieces, and I prefer silver for her anyway. I also chose to use Galva's redesigned "Galvanized" variant of her mask, rather than the normal strictly accurate version based on SpecterL's art. Pouks on the other hand is built exactly the same as the original model, just with the different spear tip featured in the winning art. Original Gaaki design by @donionini & original Pouks model by @kodiak_captures with both masks modeled by @galva_nize_ #lego #legomoc #legomocs #bionicle #bioniclemoc #bioniclemocs #toa #hagah #toahagah #rahaga #gaaki #pouks #painting #3dprinting #makuta #teridax https://www.instagram.com/p/CbctrQaLv8W/?utm_medium=tumblr

This week's #MetruMarch post features Iruini, Toa Hagah of Air, and Kualus, Toa Hagah of Ice. As with Toa Norik previously, Toa Iruini here is more or less the same as his set version, but with a few QoL updates. Kualus on the other hand is a bit of a mix between his winning moc & the winning artwork, though I chose to leave off his shield because I don't want to have to paint one. Toa Kualus model originally designed by @subparbuilds and mask model made by KhingK. #lego #legomoc #legomocs #bionicle #bioniclemoc #bioniclemocs #toa #hagah #toahagah #rahaga #iruini #kualus #painting #3dprinting #makuta #teridax https://www.instagram.com/p/CbL11yGLA04/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's that time of year again, #MetruMarch is upon us once more! I don't have anything too special planned for this year, but the Toa Hagah canon contests did just wrap up a few months ago, so I figured I would dedicate the month to showing off my interpretations of their canon designs. I'll be posting the whole team, two at a time, every week of March before ending the month off with their correctly painted masks. For today's post we've got the team's leader, Toa Norik, the same as his set appearance with only a few QoL updates. And the team's deputy leader Toa Bomonga, with metru gold armor instead of the more accurate metal green, on account of not wanting to paint that much armor. Toa Bomonga moc originally built by @theunderscoreddouble and mask design by @galva_nize_ (I've also included an extra photo of Bomonga wearing my original preference for his mask shape, the Great Zatth, because I just can't get it out of my head) #lego #legomoc #legomocs #bionicle #bioniclemoc #bioniclemocs #toa #hagah #toahagah #rahaga #norik #bomonga #painting #3dprinting #makuta #teridax https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca3ZTIlr4zQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

I feel like they are both “good guys” in the narrative I have deep in my brain, but the blue and gold being so new I am not sure where they fit in.

A few shots of some of my custom speedster Toa. One an unnamed Toa Hagah of earth that stayed loyal to the Brotherhood of Makuta, another an unnamed freedom fighter wanderer Toa of Electricity.

Individual shots coming tomorrow.

For the final two #MetruMarch posts this year, here's Metru-build reimaginings of the Toa Nuva! Second are the Toa Mistika; Tahu, Gali, & Onua. These models are primarily inspired by the Toa Nuva's 2008 forms, but also draw some inspiration from other forms of the characters in question. From an in-universe perspective, these forms are meant to be what the Toa Nuva's adaptive armor defaults to after moving to Spherus Magna. For Tahu specifically, Greg Farshtey has said in the past that Tahu would have no reason to continue wearing the Golden Armor after 2010 when it's power had been used up, and would likely return to using his adaptive armor. #lego #bionicle #biogram #moc #metrumarch2021 #toa #nuva #mistika https://www.instagram.com/p/CM9wiSTJdLm/?igshid=1jqpse9ym33i6
