Got my final batch of parts in, so now I’m pleased to present my custom Toa team, the Toa Tonga!
Broke out my old slap-dash light-box for some photos! So we’ve got:
Zejbek, grizzled Toa of Stone and leader of the team
Garehu, impulsive Toa of Fire
Kubu, jolly Toa of Plantlife
Neru, stalwart Toa of Earth
Tioka, bashful Toa of Ice
Both Garehu and Zejbek lost a limb in a previous battle, and both later acquired prosthetic limbs thanks to a group of Fe-Matoran. While Garehu opted for a standard leg, Zejbek decided to make his new arm a dedicated Toa Tool and was gifted the Wire Claw. It acts as a grappling hook, and Zejbek makes use of his Matatu to navigate it around obstacles and enemies. While intended as a climbing tool it can be used in combat as a long range punch or as a means to yank enemies closer.
Both Zejbek and Garehu carry a Kanohi Paraki as a secondary mask. Zejbek acts as a mentor to Garehu, reigning in his hot-blooded nature, but when the going gets rough these two are the front of the charge.
Tioka was a nomad wandering the snowy wastes before coming across the Toa Tonga, and is the newest member of the team. He seems distant, but really he’s just shy. Neru’s love of research and scholarly nature allowed the two to become quick friends, and Kubu’s out-going nature has helped Tioka come out of his shell around the team. For as long as the team has known Neru, he’s had specialty armor around his waist and legs that emits a low-light in darkness.
I took my lightbox down so I don’t have a photo of it but Tioka’s pavise also doubles as a snowboard, and Kubu tends to channel her plantlife powers as a vine blast from the tip of her staff.
This is the first time I’ve made a dedicated Toa team and I’m quite proud of the results! I’m particularly proud of Neru’s pickaxe, Zejbek’s Wire Claw, and Tioka’s pavise. Thanks for reading!

Putting aside all my nostalgia and personal feelings, this shit is raw as hell. This fucks massively. This is still the coolest shit ever. Nobody's done it like this since.

Oh hey, a custom Bionicle/Hero Factory head pack
(cannot seem to find any on the web, or I'm bad at finding things, so)
There is mainly two head types in the pack, Matoran Universe head and Agori/Glatorian head. Had to differentiate them cause apparently they have different eye heights and the latter type is a lot less forgiving in space
The Matoran Universe head is compatible with Mata, Metru, Okoto connections (except Hewkii Mahri's Garai, rip, also prolly Teridax's Kraahkan). The Agori/Glatorian head is compatible with Agori/Glatorian, HF Breakout, HF Brain Attack (screw HF 2.0 and 3.0 heads)
(Edit) Things to note about the models:
-Garai is incompatible due to space needed for the Okoto's mask connections, may be revised soon
-had to cut a bit of the bar from the HF Brain Attack to make the head fit into Agori/Glatorian helmets
-Agori/Glatorian heads are smushed to make sure Brain Attack visor+helmet fits
-the heads are a little bit taller (half an axle/pin taller) for light pipings
-will prolly edit the models soon so the light pipings will work better, especially for the nyan head
-idk why but stud.io seem to make the parts ricochet wildly when inserted
Also bonus torso piece and foot, its articulated (why haven't they thought of this)
Also apparently every rendering software I had broke when I tried exporting the stud.io model for render
File is here, idk what other free anonymous file hosting sites there is, remind me if you want it reuploaded since PixelDrain only hosts it for a few months

Back again by extremely popular demand, a slightly larger wave of Red Gold, Black, and now Gunmetal!
This will likely be my last wave released this month, as I will be busy until May processing orders.
You can view the store here.

idk if it's just my ears playing tricks on me, but post-Hordika, pre-Turaga, Toa Vakama's voice always sounds a little lower pitched than it was pre-Hordika
In some ways it makes narrative sense – in coming to terms with his Hordika side, Vakama's also come to terms with the anger he's been carrying ever since becoming Toa – and he's calmed. The frantic, not-sure-he's-doing-the-right-thing energy that hitched his voice has dissipated
But I also like the idea that it's a remnant from his Hordika days, a fragment that he can't quite shift
