These guys aren't much of a change but I thought I'd show them off anyway.

As you can see I basically redid their shoulder positions to make them have better and more fitting body types. I always thought Jaller would have somewhat of a more stronger look since he's the captain of the guard so I just turned those ball-clamp pieces around to hoist his shoulders up and connected them in further so his shoulders wouldn't come out too far. For Takua I just put them further in and repositioned his leg pieces to make him look a tad smaller cuz Takua always struck me as the little guy who's not quite as strong as his friend. He's got a red technic rod piece keeping his arms together which also has disabled his body rotating gimmick but I never cared much for that. It may be hard to see but they've got improved head poseability. I used some small Lego pipe/hoses and connected them with those blue pins and now their heads can turn and the necks can warp a little! Jaller's head doesn't turn so well but he still has the rotating gimmick so that kinda makes up for it. Also, I changed he heads, I never liked the grey, eyeless, movement-restricted, McDonald's heads for the Matoran.

That's pretty much all for Jaller and Takua. If I had a normal blue Kanohi Pakari I'd replace it with Takua's pale blue one, I never really liked that. But oh well, enjoy.
