Bionicle Gali Mistika Animation Test

Quick animation short of some Bionicle Mistika models I recently made. Below are some notes on how I went about redesigning them compared to the toys. I've wanted to redo Gali for years, which is hardly a novel idea on my part, since her Mistika form hasn't been too warmly received by fans. Not only cause it doesn't look one bit like either of her previous forms, it is ugly too. This is unsurprising, as the Mistika toys were not designed with specific characters in mind, and the toy that became Gali was originally meant for the red Toa, while the Tahu Mistika figure was originally blue. I resisted the urge to completely redesign her, but the unsightly backward Piraka torso had to go and she needed some chest armor. The cow-plow chin is no more, but the eye cover and airplane ears were too integral parts of the design to get rid of. Instead, I made the eye-scope thing optional so that she'd look less like a freak in her normal state. She's no longer a hunchbacked abomination ei
