Toa Gannai, Miraka Nui series

[Imatron]

Toa Gannai is Miraka Nui's shortest toa resident. He is sensitive about his height, much to the dismay of the shins of anyone who mentions a lack of height in any form, wether or not it's directed at him. His native tounge seems to be a varied combonation of clicks, pops, and garbled noises that he uses along with gestures. Nobody really knows just how to describe him, they just know him by his odd behaviour, and his apparent lack of a sense of ownership.

The MoC itself is pretty much done, I dont know if Ill be changing anything but Im up to suggestions.

I really like it. The amount of custom and originality throughout is great. The only things I would change are the hands and the legs. The throwbot feet seem somewhat awkward, and the legs look just a little short.

It's...cute...

>_< I posted this already but for some reason it dissapeared.

Gannai is actually using a toa olda foot, I originally used two tech balls to connect it, and it was loosely fitting but gave him good articulation. I decided to get rid of the extra joint in each foot and simply use the tech ball as an ankle connectoe, and used a pin to hold it into place in the back where it would otherwise pop out too easily at the flat point in the ball. Theres almost no ariculation in the foot except for it to tilt sideways, giving me plenty of leeway for a wide stance, and due to his center of gravity and simple construction it works out to pose him with those feet.

I sorta like how the hand looks when he holds the sheild but I might just switch the hands out for glatorian prefabricated hands and give him another kind of shield compatible with them. Problem is strakk being 13 bucks and not a whole lot in him is tempting. For now the silver in his hands match the silver in the arms at least.

Could always get Metus (white Agori). He's got the same hands and is noticeably cheaper (Plus those shield pieces are pure win).

Sunuva.... I could have sworn I checked out Metus' hands and they were grey when I looked at him. And now they are white
