Unless Toph suddenly grew a dick, it is not.
Wait,I dont remember that scene at all.
Is that really Toph?
The hell did they do to my girl?
I mean...comeon did they repurpose some scene they had lieing around,c&p´ed a wig in and called it a day?
That cant seriously be her design.

We don't see her much before she becomes Super Duper Old Toph, but that was during the first season. A flashback to Yakone's trial when Toph was still Chief of Police.

I genuinely dont remember...actually looking at it I wouldnt be surprised if I simply didnt recognize her and watched on in confused bewilderment.
That design violates her entire concept basis.
Whoever came up with that deserved to be fired on the spot.

Jeez I simply cant believe how horrible it is,I didnt think LoK could still shock me but that is...wow.

Hm would be all for a young Lin...doubt its gonna happen though.
Almost certain Katara and Toph are going to get regressed, and I think that at least opens up the potential for other characters. Toph's daughters need to continue the family tradition of getting with their mother. Really hope so, at least.

Wait how does it violate her character concept? She's just wearing the metalbending police uniform and still got the exact same hair style. I mean I agree that they could've put more effort in her facial design, but I don't see anything that bad.

Well yes,Katara and Toph are guaranteed but Lin and other auxillary characters not so much.
Not saying its impossible,just that there isnt really much narrative reason.

Her entire design was based on the gap moe idea of a sheltered princess hiding strength.
Im aware that by the nature of her development´s conclusion she would buff up but that goes too far.
Her adult one outright kills all of her feminine traits and turns her into a flamboyant dude.
The petite frame,feminine proportions or even face all non existent.
Hell,kill the hairstyle and its not even flamboyant anymore but outright male(a bishie male admittedly but fuck...).

That design rubs me wrong something fierce.
Though like I said,I dont remember the scene(and Im sure as hell going nowhere close to LoK again)so maybe its just that particular shot but man...just no.

Doesn't really seem like Mity's all too concerned about fitting scenes in the narrative if they'll be interesting enough.

And that was her design idea in the first series, when she was literally 12 and could only look like a 12-year-old girl. Then she spent a good chunk of the following decades building a police force for a city that was set to house people from nations who were bitter enemies in the past. Hell, just look at most female cops in real life.

This is also the girl with nary a concern for appearance but all the love in the world for attaining immense strength. Toph pretty much IS a flamboyant dude.

I agree that LoK had some problems with women's faces looking manly(Kuvira has some serious Mako jawline going on there) but expecting a lithe frame from most 40-year-old women is already pushing it, much less with Toph.
