It's weird with the new designs. I'm always used to their new looks because it takes quite some time to get them uploaded. When I finally show them nobody is as attached to their new looks as I am :D

I worked hours on Merall's arms and those Metru feet were the only solution I could come up with. Other designs I tried always limited the poseability to a such high degree which would've made it impossible to use in my comic. So there you go, pointy shoulders :P And while this pose may look elegant... just imagine if you're her enemy, lying on the ground and she's walking up to you in this way. That would match her again, right?

Range kept Chaeus' blade... maybe as a reminder of what they lost. I kinda like the idea of giving a new story to an old weapon. That's why he still carries it around!

Vorred is a bit clunky, has his errors and a pretty bad job at color layering, but like you said... he just looks this way and I can't really change that anymore :D

You can tell me which creation you like better, you don't have to regret anything! Vastara surely is a fine MoC, but she is also sleek and feminine... something I couldn't show on Merall. Both of them just have a different style :P

I might actually keep her current Kanohi. Even though I like the shape of my shiny misprint Ruru more, I've gotten used to the Pakari. While she was a simple contest entry once she became a character... but that character has a different "face".

Grentar was actually inspired by Glon back in time before I joined the CBW! I really liked the short and compact design you made and wanted to create something similar!

It's the details. But what about Merall in her Matoran form... she had a silver Kanohi as well! How could she be in their Toa team? I'll stop it. Her mask has nothing to do with those two :D

Yep, "Sorrow" is indeed the fusion of those two Toa. But where did I tell you they died? They just disappear, right? :P

Brorag and Viretha were, like many others, created before I planned my story. And that plan didn't include the two surviving, sadly. But yes, parts of their builds will be re-used! Like you see, this mysterious Toa has Brorag's front torso armor, and the revamped Khyae will use Viretha's upper leg design. Since I liked both build I see no reason to completely discard the builds! :)

Thanks for the long review!
