Gray Gear Posted October 21, 2021 Nice MOC! But what does self-moc even mean? I like how flexible the figure is, and white-blue is a very nice colorsceme. Also interesting use of those spring-shooter rockets as sword handles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love how the legs are on the bulkier side but the torso is more slender if that makes sense. I do love the swords aswell.

No. A self-MOC means that the creator intended for this MOC to represent himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made them as slim as I could and it still ended up kinda big On 10/22/2021 at 5:53 PM, Megamech said: No. A self-MOC means that the creator intended for this MOC to represent himself.
