Bringo! I got this: http://imgur.com/a/Ef4J4?gallery

A rogue Toa of erosion, Zambor has the mask of foresight. He is the last surviving member of his team, the Toa Troma. Previously a dark hunter, he has become a full-time mercenary employed by Skakdi warlords. Armed with two resonance picks, he can send things into a state of hyper-speed decay and erosion, making paths, felling large stone spires, or rusting his opponents solid. He had his eyes burned out in a long forgotten battle on a lost island, yet his mask powers allow him to see beyond sight. He yearns for the Mask of Creation, to restore his sight with, and to resurrect his old team to fight not for what a Toa would, but for profit and power.

Well, here goes nothing with my entry (sorry, I only have CCBS to work with really). This is Vezalus the Gold Hunter and his loyal steed Bullion:

15404788709_b1c6b55b20_z.jpg

Vezalus the Gold Hunter and Bullion by TheOneVeyronian, on Flickr

Vezalus is a nomadic Dark Hunter with a lust for anything gold. Even his armour is plated in gold for the most part, and named his loyal Rahi Armoured Bulldrak steed Bullion to make clear just what he loves. Vezalus has spent all his life in search of the legendary Golden Masks, to no avail. Vezalus plans to use the golden masks for his own personal gain however, and if he finds all of them, the fate of Okoto will hang in the balance... Vezalus is armed with a golden sword and possesses poisonous claws, and is a sworn enemy of both the Toa and the Brotherhood of Makuta.

More pictures can be found in my dedicated Flickr album.

First entry: Oohmin, a mutant spider queen with a taste for Toa.

Queen Oohmin by Zenerius, on Flickr

Oohmin is an extremely powerful spider queen who lurks in the deep jungles of Bota Magna, commanding her spiderlings to do her bidding. Oohmin's incredibly poisonous fangs can incapacitate even the strongest of Toa within a matter of minutes; those who attempt to combat her never return from their quest. Always silent, and always stalking until the day comes to unleash her dreadful army upon the Toa.

I have a second entry: Cryoju the Ice Hunter:

15416136579_de18cbc045_z.jpg

Cryoju the Ice Hunter by TheOneVeyronian, on Flickr

From Flickr description: Cryoju is a nomadic Dark Hunter whom began life as a glacier and was given life and form by a Great Spirit. Almost his entire body is made of ice, thus he was rendered unable to leave sub-zero terrain, however the black armour he wears has special freezing properties enabling this villainous hunter to roam the lands freely and find the Golden Masks for two reasons: one, to stop the Toa from fulfilling their destiny and two, to see if the Masks can transform Cryoju from ice monster to invincible supervillain.

No additional photos as this is a render and things take a long time to pose in LDD, but here's the LXF if needed. All part colour combinations should be 100% legitimate.

Second entry: Inyx, a once powerful Toa warrior whos effigy was brought to life by a dark curse.

Inyx by Zenerius, on Flickr

A once gallant Toa warrior, Inyx was immortalized into a statue to honor his incredible deeds to the Matoran. However, a curse befell the statue and turned it into a tool of destruction, decimating any who stand in its path.

Third entry: Spidrion the Skull King:

15428799857_ef21428f19_z.jpg

Spidrion the Skull King by TheOneVeyronian, on Flickr

A little bio from the Flickr description: Spidrion is a rare Rahi hybrid of a spider and a scorpion, mostly a spider with a scorpion's tail. While not technically a Skull Spider, Spidrion, upon gaining sentience, discovered the Skull Spider's lair, immediately overthrew the Lord of Skull Spiders and declared himself "the Skull King". Now he sends the Skull Spiders and LOSS to do his bidding. Spidrion is thirsty for knowledge, and he believes finding all the golden Toa masks is the key to infinite wisdom, which he intends to use to ultimately destroy Okoto. But to do that, he must first defeat the Toa and the Protectors.

This is an LDD model, so I shall provide the LXF here. All part colour combinations should be legitimate (side note: the black T-Bars certainly do exist, they appear in the minifig scale Minecraft sets which are starting to appear)

Entry #1: Zistiam

Main image

Full gallery

A member of Axonn's species, Zistiam naturally possesses abilities including healing and immense strength.

However, after a confusingly meta experiment in which he fused the Spear of Fusion to himself, Zistiam gained fusion and fission powers. The red spikes on his back, which resemble the Spear of Fusion's blade, glow when these powers are activated.

Being combined with an inanimate object had drawbacks, however: it rendered Zistiam blind and mute, so he wears an Arthron, Mask of Sonar, in the shape of a single plate of armor.
