Very solid-looking. Really like how the head is done.

This looks incredible. I love how you've done the head, and how smoothly the pelvis area transitions into the legs.

It's remarkable how good a set can look when it's not posed as if all the bones in its body are broken :P Anyway, storm beast's function looks very cool, and almost looks like he's being controlled by strings, that's appropriately creepy. Not sure that quake's is very well executed, and I'm not even sure what Lava's is. Do you just push the gears, and the weapons move with them? 'Cos if so, that's not a function. You could get exactly the same result by just pushing the weapon itself. Box art looks cool,as eve, nice touch with the background art.

Is I just me, or do they still kinda sound like they're all voiced by the one guy. I don't think they actually are, but the three we've heard so far sound very similar (except they sound like obnoxious teenagers instead of an old English guy, which I do not consider an upgrade). The whole thing sort of feels like someone's youtube video. Similar voices with an overdone modulation on the voices. Dialogue like "the darkness is coming! you cannot stop it!" The art style is still fantastic, and Gali will probably actually be a woman this time, so that's good. I just hope they keep part-Australian part-Londoner Pohatu, since Tahu and lLewa sound nothing like their 2015 selves.

Actually, that reminds me, you know what I was really reminded of by Umarak the destroyer's box pic? Rocka XL. God, that takes me back.

Hmm, it kinda looks like the MoCtrl de-evolved Umarak into some kind of monster. interesting... The beasts look like they introduce a nice new crystal piece, but I'm not a fan of the lower leg construction (though lava beast has mata red glatorian necks) And Ekimu.... well, I guess now we know where Tahu stole all his extra gold from. Colour blocking is definitely an issue, may be improved by printing. I also like that he's toa-sized now.

Oho, I really like Umarak's description. Not only did it give a translation of his name, but it really makes him feel like a force of nature. Plus, the fact that he, the creatures, and the mask of time are all ancient, hints at a deeper history for Okoto before the great cataclysm, which is very welcome, as I thought the initial Makuta vs Ekimu legend seemed a bit lacklustre.

Haha, my first thought when I saw the moc was Saber. really nicely done. The armour fits together really neatly, and it looks like it could be an actual, non leaking life form.

Umm... does this not look incredibly fake to anyone else? It still uses the MoCr banner instead of the MoCo, the atual MoCr on the front looks like a photo of the physical piece, and the bag uses a weird cgi render of Tahu with the cloth cut and pasted over the top....

These new pics don't really show much that the least ones didn't, besides a little of the inner workings of the torsos, but I still love how these look. Much better than 2015's IMO. I actually really like all the technic, (with the exception of Tahu's swords), but then I always suspected I would. The 2015 line was great, but could never hake the feeling that they looked like HF characters with masks slapped on them. Slightly disappointed that Kopaka's shoulders appear to be silver rather than white, but it still looks OK on him. Just wish he didn't have that gold on his legs :/

I.... didn't even realise that was mata nui... All I thought was "wow, they've really improved Okoto" xD Tahu's combined form looks sweet. His mask looks a fair bit different from the prelims, but I think it looks better like this. And yeah, the new torso piece is beautiful.

Tahu mata's iconic lava surfing has to be up there (impossible limb bending not withstanding), and I always liked the glatorian ones too. not sure why, probably the nice elemental backgrounds.

If you want to avoid the nuvaboob, i'm always a fan of using a piece of Inika shoulder armour for female torso armour. it give a kinda feminine shape, but isn't too over the top. if you have one of those in black, what could work. (it's a shame you don't have one in gold really, but I can understand why you skipped Tarix). alternatively, the gold Bionicle stars armour might work, if you built around it sufficiently. I like your idea of psionics toa being physically underdeveloped, as it's an idea I've seen repeated across various Bionicle fan works. I love it when each element has its own physique, so IMO you should try to hold on to the short, slim nature of the moc. The mask of fire would not be my personal choice for any female moc. It looks too big and square jawed IMO, but then I'm not much of a fan of it's design in general. Something like Pohatu's looks a bit more gender neutral. That's my 2 widgets (Bionicle pun, haha) for now, hope the moc goes well!

Nah, I like it too. btw, does anyone have any idea what Melum is supposed to be? Terak's clearly a mole, but melum? an.... Ice mole? I assumed he'd be a wolf or a penguin or something, but he's just white terak.
