Coming back to you with a new Pearllight build.
The new and improved Pearllight is now equipped with a larger chest plate , enhanced high heeled shoes; new plating on the lower section, with added rear armor, and an upper back insert to give her more depth and human like curve.
I tried making her look more like the official poster drawing I did of her awhile back. Link is here if you can't remember http://bionicfuzion.blogspot.com/2012/04/official-proto-pearllight-posters.html I also kept her outfit on for the first pictures, since she's commonly wearing these clothes.
One of the main reasons I had to change her structure so much, and try making it more human compared to her original plastic build, is because I wanted to add her adjustable hair blade holsters. The original structure didn't agree with her hair blades, so I had to make some major tweaks to the body.
I hope she still looks feminine after all that tweaking. She came out quite large when I was finished, and almost seems to be more of a Helga rather than a Pearllight compared to the other Bionicle figurines.

Because of her extra bulk, I'm thinking maybe this is her super structure, when in need of heavier protection during an intense battle.
Back view in dress
Showing off more of the structure, here's Pearllight without her outfit, and standing from two different side angles.
side view
Two different views of her hair blades from the back. As I mentioned, they're adjustable.
The above blade position is the most common, since they don't get in the way as much when facing outward.
Below: this is what I'd call the wing position. great for flight, but not as practical when fighting. You can see what I mean by adjustable.
wing blade position
Hair blades out. This is what you'll commonly see when Pearllight is preparing to fight, not that she likes fighting.
Below: back view when her blades are out. The holsters themselves are made to look like hair buns, which the blades clip into.
Below are close up images of her shoes. Thought I'd share detail.
Right side view Side heel view
Two good friends. I just wanted to show you what I mean by a very large build.
Lewa is one of the tallest average Toa figurines, and Pearllight is standing at about the same level.
Note, Pearllight is only suppose to be six foot, not seven foot, which is why I would call this form a super version.
She's more at average height if I replace the high heel shoes with flat ones.
I may or may not keep this new armored Pearllight. I suppose if I keep her flat shoes on she'll be less monstrous.
Happy viewing. ^_^
