Bionicle MOCs: Kromo Goblins

Description

I liked that head design so much that I decided to make it ten times! Notably the Vahki leg piece that acts as their skulls only comes in ten colours, so I couldn't make any more even if I wanted to.

The Kromo Goblins are a cave-dwelling community of goblins, and are as follows:
The Tinkerer (dark blue/blue): A solitary character who likes cogs and mechanisms. He has experimented with the pieces on his own body.
The Bladesmith (dark red): The Bladesmith is the resident weapon maker who obsessively carries those fin pieces everywhere.
The Pirate (gunmetal/silver): Having been injured in a fight, the Pirate now has an artificial arm and is plotting to overthrow the Chief.
The Punk (white): A rebellious troublemaker whose hairstyle (helmetstyle?) seems to change on a daily basis.
The Cook (red): Lazy and overweight, the Cook serves everybody's food in complete greasy, tasteless misery.
The Chief (black): Brave and strong as any leader should be, the Chief rules over the goblin community.
The Guard (green): The Guard is the local policeman, gallant and lawful. He spends most of his time dealing with the Punk.
The Wanderer (brown): Hunchbacked and mute, the Wanderer's background is a mystery to the rest of the group.
The Elder (light blue): The source of all goblin knowlege (which isn't much). The Elder is also the resident medic.
The Grunt (grey): Dull in both colour and intelligence, the Grunt tends to the menial tasks without much complaint.

I'm really happy with how these guys turned out! It was very fun inventing designs and characters for them all, particularly when the only thing connecting them was the head design and the mostly-uniform colour scheme. The Punk is one of my favourites - I feel like he's got so much character, and the point about his hair is that the Kopaka mask can rest in any orientation, really. So, which one do you like most, and why? :)

I feel like if you kept it to nine, you'd have a nice D&D-style alignment group here. XD Fun descriptions!
I admit some of the headpieces don't assimilate as well as others (distracting eyeholes on the tinkerer and pirate, some staying close to the eyes while others seem just plopped atop the head), but they're all good nonetheless. Fantastic idea of making the Akaku set off-kilter, we don't get to see that done very often, and it works really well. I think the variation in feet was a bit unnecessary and the spiky feet doesn't fit the Elder well... Even after reading the Wanderer's description I don't understand the mask he's holding... But these are my only critiques, everything is well thought out, very creative, and quite fitting from one goblin to another. Nicely done. ^^
