| Head: I think the Shelek is overused already, and it doesn't quite suit him.
Torso: Nice and well-armoured on the front. But the back has a massive hunchback with blue pins sticking out in several places, and I do not like that.
Arms: Nicely done, if a little short. The weapon is also good for him. But the spikes, especially the "fingernails", are unnecessary.
Legs: A little too long, and a little too thin. I don't like the Rahkshi-head armour, but the lower legs are fine.
Feet: Too big. The Bohrok eyes/teeth aren't needed, and neither is the size. Frogs' feet aren't that big.

| Trakvan: I wanted him to have a hunch, and the blue pin is there for two reasons: (I) I could not find a black one. (II) It is somwhere to store his sword. (I forgot to take a picture of it on >_<) And the arms are too long -- They go past the knees.
And the spikes get the evilnessess across. I also said reptile specialist. And yes, they do clash. The finger spikes should be white for bone -or whatever- and the armour spikes should be silver.

| Hm... well, I still don't think the hunch suits him very well. And if you're going to keep the spikes, you could have used a white pin instead of blue - it would be the same color as them.

I think the white pin would work if you kept the horrible spikes, but not if you don't.

| @Kroenen: They're the 2x1 pin/axles.
@Sykura: It's true, you know. "Disgusting" is just my opinion, but "unnatural" is true. And the Bahrag came with more than eight, I'm pretty sure. At least ten.

| The body works very well with those legs. Nice work. The arms... would not be my choice, but they too do work here. I simply dislike the head. it seems small maybe... not the right design possibly... Maybe it is just my personal preference again. =/ Still darn nice work, this is great. |

| You raise a fair point. I hate it when I see someone review a MoC, and they say they do not like something about it, and that (For some profound reason) detracts the quality.

| Silver in small amounts is fine. It's when it becomes the primary focus of almost every set for seven years I dislike.

Well I have to agree to a point about this. I for one certainly would not use it as a Secondary color like the sets.
And in that light, the canisters don't really need silver... unless they were a silver toa... Or a Knight.
Silver is a bright and shiny color asking to be made primary, I guess that is the real problem. |

Yes, it is asking to be made primary. It is not, however, asking to be made primary on every set.
