>>5402591Funny I just had the totally opposite reaction last night. Upon trying to not have my room cluttered I stored my 2015 Toa away in a container and after getting Pohatu, Kopaka, and Onua, and then taking a look at the 2015 versions again, I realized how worse the newer ones are IMO.
The colorschemes got so much more fucked up, aside from Onua's ; the torsos are flimsy in places like Kopaka's shoulders; the various degrees of textures in their armor clash so hard; the Uniter shell looks too long and tacked on in comparison to the two piece torsos; complexity for complexity's sake; worse mask designs; worse weapons; too much trans on everyone; wacky points of articulation like Pohatu's shoulders (bend them back and his arms cave in)
Idk. The sleek, bold and vibrant look the 2015 guys had totally slipped me when I first had them in hand. The only things I say we're improved upon were the ball joints no longer being exposed, better build experiences, Gali trading yellow for orange as an accent color, and Onua swapping solid for trans purple.
Other than that, the 2016 guys are just a huge letdown to me. I even modded my 2015 guys a bit and properly put them on display. Onua's in the process of being rebuilt with his 2016 versions' parts.
