Description Toa Kopaka Nuva, now even more refreshing cold. I know the toy has both the swords in one hand and the shield in the other, but i like this setup more. The problem is getting him to balance on the shield.

He'd always fall over whenever i tried to get him into this pose.

try adhesive tape and some flat upside down lego plates.

In my opinion Kopaka Nuva was the only Nuva who looked as good as the Mata form. Or maybe even better. He did have that awkardly installed shield, but it was easy to reconstruct it with some spare parts.

indeed, though I was rather fond of his mata shield though.

Same here, but it looked ridiculously small on the up-armoured Kopaka Nuva.

indeed, but I just wished they used a different piece... or at least made a custom for the nuva.

This one looks a little less clean and tight than tahu and gali nuva, but it's still great. I love how you did his mask, he looks absolutely fierce. He looks more like he's standing still, and I think adding motion lines and snow flying back would fix that. His right shoulder looks a little too forward, like it doesn't really attach to his arm. The feet are great and solid. The angle of his stance is great, like he's very confidence in his balance. Although the pose is cool, I think it would make more sense for his left hand to be down and more out, as it's extremely difficult to balance with his arm the way it is. I'm also not quite sure what's going on with his right sword? I honestly can't tell what it's doing. It looks like it's snapped out of place and it's lined up with the hilt. The red light looks a little odd, again. I think blue would be better, or even yellow would work here, I think. The armor is great, the details are great, the expression is amazing, and it's just amazing over all. I repeat what I said about the symbols.

by the time, i drew the weapons, I had already done everything else, so to explain the reason his right sword looks wonky, is simply a matter of "oh crap, I messed up, but I dont wanna redo the whole drawing so I'm gonna keep it"

Amazing. I think that's the first time I've seen someone do his mask well without making it cartoony.

Thanks. Admitingly, his mask was the hardest to draw as far as Nuva goes.

Forgive the pun, but Kopaka just looks cool here. Really he looks a lot more fierce, which in my opinion suits him well.

RyouKazehara In reply to Onatu [2011-09-20 03:04:23 +0000 UTC]

he was always the cool one. He was the kinda guy who would stand in the path of an avalanche and not run away, as he would know exactly what to do, namely, stick out his sword and freeze the entire thing still.

Onatu In reply to RyouKazehara [2011-09-20 03:27:15 +0000 UTC]

I remember that in the original promo vids. My younger brother got me into Bionicle when he got Tahu for his birthday, complete with the copper Vakama mask and a little CD with a couple of videos. I remember that thing sold me on getting Kopaka, just because he stopped the avalanche so calmly.

I liked those mini cd's. They told me how to actually pronounce these wierd names.

Onatu In reply to RyouKazehara [2011-09-20 04:54:48 +0000 UTC]

I still never learned some of those pronunciations, but they certainly did help with some of them. Lewa was such a pain to get right.

what was more confusing for me was "Onua" the Toa and "Onewa" the Turaga/former Toa.

From the looks of left blade (toa's right) it looks like Kopaka can hold the blades in a revurse hold too.

You gave him an intrestin espresion too, slightly narrow-eyed like he's not impressed with wh ever in unlucky enough to be in front of him
