Mata Nui Revamp

Back in the day I thought the set was very plasticky and wasn’t the biggest fan. Looking back with hindsight, he seems to have aged well (if you keep the connectors intact).

 

The lack of a sword was always a big problem for me as it must have been cut pretty early in the design of the set but still somehow made its way into the movie and promotional material.

 

Arms were heavily retooled to add some much needed bulk and distance those shoulder spikes. At least now he can be posed with a lesser risk of slicing his head off. Tweaks were also made to the torso and the sword was built especially for him (Boggarak pincer had to be cut).
