Hmm, sexy slugs. XD

I'm glad that you like the repaints, though Carnac is perhaps my worst example. His was one of the first Kanohi that I painted. I think that Caliga and Turas are better examples. :P Still, I'm glad that you were reminded of 2004 when you saw him. That's exactly the era that he's supposed to represent. Same with Fluvia. :P

I'm a big fan of your custom masks as well. :P Ridor really stands out, as does that infected Miru and Brorag's mask. It's really something. :D

Yes, it really is quite disturbing knowing that this is a LEGO toy that people have chosen to vamp up and it doesn't do justice for a lot of MOCcists out there. But, then again, a lot of MOCcists are in their teens/young adulthood. :P That's not to say it's OK, however, and this problem exists in other fandoms as well: the need to sexualize female characters in order to make them appear relevant. It's really quite attention-seeking. :P

Racasix retreats backwards so far that her thin hips knock a vase over and makes a loud SMASH! noise.

I have noticed that, and it really is quite sickening to see such a limited expectation of the female body. :/

Ah, okey doke. :P I guess she'll be taller by comparison, and the Toa who aren't the Farside Toa also seem to be a little shorter, such as Berwak and Calesse. I really must start remembering their names. XD
