Hero Factory MOC: Avalanche

Description

Update 9/4/2012: Added armour to his calves, and made the poses more diverse.

My, was he a challenge... a strict colour distribution (that falters slightly on the outer arms and feet), limited pieces (five other MOCs that have stolen blue and white pieces) and, most importantly, a 50-50 build style between Bionicle and HF, which proved less compatible than I might've imagined.

As for this particular collage: I'd like to draw your attention to the top right corner, which displays the otherwise-hard-to-photograph white curves and rounded blue back, both of which I adore (in one photo, the left arm has been removed for better viewing). The photos in the other corners focus on his sword and shield, which can attach (without extra pieces) to other parts of his body if need be. As a side note, I did not invent the Gorast sword; I've seen it used by several different people, so I don't think anyone 'owns' it, as such.

Hope you like.

Ok, This my friend, is one of, if not, THE best 'ice moc' I have seen, and I shall write a critique on why.
Firstly, the 50/50 use of Bionicle/HF parts is amazing. All the parts, regardless of Bionicle or HF, blend together like it's the same system.
Secondly, the use of parts is amazing, e.g. Vultraz wings and Kopaka swords on shield, Kiina webs on head, Bohrok fangs as fingers and many more just come to show how thoroughly Aiden has thought through the usage of parts (and what parts to use,) not to mention the moc itself!
My only complaints would be 1) As RattrapsTail said, the sword is too small and basic, and 2) It's hard to visualise the eyes due to them being so far into the head, giving vision a 4.5/5. Although, that does help give the head that heavy-amouring effect.
And now, I conclude my first critique with a rather random comment.
Avalanche's boss shield does his justice lLIKE A BOSS. <img class="avatar" src="a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/i/l…" alt=":iconlikeabossplz:" title="likeabossplz"/>
