Description
Now before everybody starts the comment, listen up, there is a simple reason for his mask to be a golden Hau and not the Ignika, as we all know Mata Nui's symbol is the Kanohi Hau there for when Mata Nui as rebuilding his body his memory kicked in about the Hau and technically merged the Mask of Life with a Hau, imagine the Hau ith the Ignika standing figure engraved into it or similar. Same goes for his torso, by default the mask wanted to recreate the giant robot form's figure but for lack of proper materials to work with Mata Nui's frame became more of a mixture of Glatorian, Toa and his robot form. I have no idea how long has this been lying around half built until the spark came a few days ago, plus I had to wait for the cape to arrive via mail which was today, with the cape I wanted to give him a more of an outcast/nomad sort of look, I would have made a custom cape/shroud but I lack the proper materials sadly. hen building I tried to save some of the older designs of the limbs as much as possible but also giving it an updated look. The shield is the same as before you can find that one's built on YouTube made by IBurion if I recall. The sword is my build, took me some time to figure out a fitting enough weapon for him.Detail close-ups:

To be honest, I liked him better with the Ignika. But this is still a good attempt at a revision of him. Wish I could get him a cloak for the desert though.

Try BrickLink, it might be a little pricey, but you can get it from there

I love the fact you used his classic symbol for his mask, the golden Hau.

Now think about it for a moment, there wasn't much I could use there plus if it would be another piece it would look either too flat there or just weird, not to mention that the people of Bara Magna were more organic than machine which could have translated somewhat to his form as well when rebuilding himself and it was intended to be lower abdomen armor not crotch specifically

Yeah, I guess you're right, there is literally nothing else that could have gone there
