She's back! (Additional views here: [link] )
...And ohmygosh, it's been so long since I've moc'd I didn't even know dA added a "Lego" category!

I'm going to assume everyone already knows how I feel about my moc-ing skills... I'm a dabbling noob doubtlessly worthy of a little moc'ery (Draco puns - am I bad? Ohh yes...) from on high (seriously, idols like ~MapleMaster , ~3rdeye88 , and ~retinence are gods of the brick - and now Draco's namedropping...) but I enjoy it, and I'd like to think I'm learning.

ANYway, Voliga is back... reborn. A little older, a little wiser - silent and brooding... once again she's ready to kick some Makuta butt. Or anyone's butt really.
Where the second posted version of Voliga ([link] ) was a primarily aesthetic edit of the original version ([link] ), this is a true "2.0" build, I think. I didn't even have the previous version on hand when I started working on this.
The body (like pretty much everything else) has been completely rebuilt. I basically started with the body base of one of the Rahkshi (heh, they're still among my favorite "bad guys"). I got pretty frustrated trying to make the armor work how I wanted - seriously, trying to "suggest femininity" with Bionicle is hard. I know you're laughing now. Anyway, I'm slightly frustrated with how thick the overall body came out... I guess that's my "goal" for any subsequent version.
Heh, I finally cannibalized (read: demolished) the Night Hunter ([link] ) piece hog. I tweaked and re-purposed the wings for Voliga 2.0. Amazingly, these things actually seem to hold their own weight pretty well.
Back by the demand of awesomeness (and obliquely, ~Lord-Makuta ), like the original build, Voliga 2.0 holds both her spear weapon and shield - they're not attached in any way.
TOES. Yeah, I'm gunna stop there. (Can you tell I'm in a slightly hyper mood?)
I finally got the pistons... hydraulic wannabe... pressure... friction... tube... things... to work with this "digigrade" leg design (which is pretty much married to Voliga as a character in my head). The feet aren't completely flat, but the legs are SO much stronger now. Voliga might fall over, but she isn't about to crumple from weak knees anymore.

Aaaaannnnnd.... That's about all I got at this point. Enjoy!
I'm going back to my cave now.
