matoro's picture

Hey Dorek, i don't belive that's an accurate picture of Matoro. I'm petty sure the upper leg and arm pieces were light blue, not trans-blue. I have Matoro and his arms are not that shade of blue. If you don't believe me, look at the instructions. --"♫We're driving old smokey! Porkchop's at the wheel!

It's probably a prototype, like the 01 images. There is the question of whether prototypes are valid for this use due to variations like this. There's also Set:8538 where it uses the wrong masks. ~ Wolk (talk) 13:52, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

yeah well that explains things. I would volunteer to make pictures, but the pieces in question on my Matoro broke many a moon ago. anyway, thanks for the info. --"♫We're driving old smokey!

They're essentially placeholders for a nebulous "maybe" image that will never come. My overall goal was for real-world shots of the product itself, which typically existed in one form or another, but where and how and whether or not they still exist is another question entirely.

For instance, you have this shot of Turahk which was originally from TRU back in the day their online store was just a branded page on Amazon. It's "legitimate" as far as things go, but obviously it was built by somebody who took some, ahem, liberties. So I went with an alternative

Or the image I uploaded of Takua and Pewku, which appears to be the actual original photograph, but then crops up in some obscure (but official!) products.

So, long story short, not every one of these will be perfect, but if I can at least source it, then I'm personally content, because it's the closest I can get. -- Dorek _Talk 02:17, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Okay. I didn't realize that. I never noticed in other sets because i never owned them Matoro was my first set, (purchased in 2009 XD) and dear to my heart, so i noticed something was off right away. okay, i won't bug you with this again. --"I wanted show that humans are not gods, nor are we monsters, i wantede people to think about what it means to be human" -Lex ^{~Prof. Srlojohn} 12:39, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
