I still think Mata Nui would be better off gold - if for no other reason than having a proper alternative to selling your kidney for a pearl gold ignika.

Adore that you went all in on the humble aspect, he looks stellar

Again, I cant thank you enough for this entire Glatorian mod series. It inspired me to go back at making mocs and revamping my old builds. Each of your part choices are cleverly picked, from the movable skirt and shoulder armor so that the limbs can move freely, the friction add-ons giving stability as well as additional space so that the legs can bend in a sitting or split position, the Metru chest pieces sandwiched underneath the chest pieces so that they fill in what would otherwise be empty or skinny space, the Inika armor shells placed as leg back covering, the Piraka leg pieces used so that they dont hit the larger ccbs shells of the arms when bending the limb, how the texture of the Chima elegant armor add-on matches with the lower textures of the pearl gold Inika chest, etc. After trying out your build techniques myself I can tell that you put a lot of care with these. What is also great is because they are relatively small builds that dont use too many pieces, its all the more doable for people with a set budget to recreate. Simply brilliant work Nick!

Man is using Metroid music in the background fits way to well

i love youre style of using the sun light to shine youre creation

[Autisticguywithacamera]

Those mocs are awesome! An Earth Tribe Glatorian and Sister of The Skrall are two we never got any images of, and in the case of the Earth Tribe they were just tacked on after the series ended but still sound like a neat idea.

I loved this series so much and I love this Mata Nui, he was one of my FAVORITE sets that I bought when I was younger

Nothing like re watching all the glatorian mods for inspiration for building my own bionicle oc

Mata Nui was my first bionicle set, I remember asking my parents to get him for my back during Christmas of 2009 when I finally got into bionicle and then Bionicle end of the next year

I always quite liked the OG Mata Nui, so this is a pretty nice mod

[FatrockaYouTube]

This is my favorite glatorian mod next to Kiina, I wish they made him golden too

[Nailfut]

Never understood people's criticism towards this set: one should wonder how much "experience" Mata Nui himself had on body proportions and how much the Ignika itself influenced the birth of this body. To me, it's like a newborn trying to find a proper shape, mixing ancient knowledge (the shoulder armor) with most recent experience (Matoro Mahri's shoulder armor, retained by Toa Ignika too and even the keetorange-black colorscheme from Toa Ignika).

This is THE Mata Nui but the body is just a temporary means made possible by a mask that has its own history and independence. Both entities ended up forming this weird yet unique, and even storied shape. And yet, it's also charming in its pristine innocence, exactly like a newborn.

Anyway, I lost track. All this to say that I really appreciate this revamp, since it's very faithful to the appeal of the original set.

If i modded mata nui, i think i would make him look like the great spirit robot, with just bit of armor on top

[Fooshy]

I got my first bionicle sets today! OG lewa and maku!
