Description Revamp of the entire team.
The picture has been edited by Aaron Greenslade/Fenrek/Fluffy.

Stuff I had in mind:

Tahu has buff legs:
Walking through lava
Surfing

Kopaka's skinny with a buff-ish torso:
Withstanding cold
Navigating through snow

Pohatu's small with big feet:
Kicking stuff around
Better grip
Faster running

Lewa's tall, has rubber bands:
Swinging on vines
Tool storage
Camouflage

Gali is tall, slim:
Better for swimming
Climbing

Onua is small, slim:
Navigate through tunnels
Faster advancing while digging (smaller tunnels)
Quick getaway in case of cave-ins

Impressive. I applaud the extensive thought you put into the practical concepts for the Toa Mata.

I don't know why, but I find it hilarious that Gali's blatantly the tallest of the team.

I have absolutely no idea which pieces I used aside from the ones that are visible in the picture above. I did, however, manage to dig up some pictures I took while I was working on it, here you go: imgur.com/a/rVJ2f

Could you at least tell me how you built tahu's legs? it looks a little confusing. (Could you also tell you built his back?)

TBH i think it woulod be better if you swapped lewa's body design with gali's one.

MikeInTheBox In reply to BIOFLARE [2014-03-19 16:20:44 +0000 UTC]

The upper chest would probably work better with Gali, I agree, but I wanted Lewa to look camouflaged, which is why I gave him a beasty kind of torso.
