Fun fact: this MOC was originally going to be a Rahkshi.

Kanohi: Matatu, Mask of Telekinesis
Weapons/Tools: Longsword, Shield
Theme Song: Wizards in Winter by Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Solstice is a mysterious Toa who appears only on the longest, darkest nights of the year. Little is known about him, except that wherever he is seen, snow usually follows.
Originally, Solstice was going to be a Rahkshi, but I started with the legs, and they looked so knightly that I just had to make a Toa instead. He was a very spur of the moment build, but I am very satisfied with him.
Niiice!I love the music.I just realized a while ago that Solstice has the same mask as my self-MOC,Toa Jaton,which you can see if you click the link on my name.Keep up the work.
Awesome! I love that hidden-torso. I use Metru torsos all the time, the key is to hide them. I love that main picture! The sword rocks, and the shoulders are incredible! Great job!
Quoting El Barto !
Love that first shot with the creepy snow scene!
Thanks! I took your advice with the darker background. Unfortunately, I used green, so I had to colorize the MOC like crazy to cover up the reflection off his armor. XD
Very cool! I'm freaking loving those Greebles man. Love your version of that sword and excellent work on the torso, even though it may look feminine it's very well designed! Nice work ...Oh wait I nearly forgot :D

Is Solstice female? Because I'm getting a female vibe from him/her, and I think if you ever did this torso design it'd look great on a Femoc. I like the HF armor on the thighs and shoulders, and that sword from Clockwork is awesome as always, but the torso is out of place and throws off most of the moc. Anyways, great build here!
The torso is actually just a well-hidden Metru torso. I can see how you might think that the torso is feminine; I was going for a sort of duelist look instead of my usual bulky man-toa look. If I ever revamp Solstice, the first thing I'll do is work on the body.

awesome moc like the body and the mask look great with the moc
Very Very cool! i love the shield I always like when people have a theme song and you can listen to it while you look at the moc. i need a shield for my self moc!
Wow, that's great! I love the colors. The Nuva armor on the back looks odd, though, is there a black, less round piece you can use? Beyond that, the entire build works wonderfully! It would be awsome as a Kopaka remake, were it less dark.
