Review - Fraulein Revoltech Rin Tohsaka

Rin Tohsaka.


Fate/Stay Night.
Fraulein Revoltech.
Kaiyodo.
No.002.
Sculpted by ENOKI Tomohide.
Distributed by Organic.
Certified by TYPE-MOON.


Note: I bought Rin with the purpose of using her parts for a custom figure. Therefore the following review is rather brief.

Sculpt:


Rin’s Fraulein Revoltech portrayal is both good and bad. There are some aspects of the figure which are great, the design of her clothes, legs arms and torso are all very good and shapely, which is why I chose her for a custom figure, however there are aspects which had not attracted to own a Rink figure for Rin’s sake, one being her face is rather small compared to the size of her body and the facial expression is just not attractive, secondly she has few accessories and thirdly for some reason her feet are rather large in proportion to the rest of her.


However she is not without merit, her hair is fantastically sculpted and I feel like it’s a bit of a shame for it to go to waste, but it will not go with my figure design, mainly because Rin does not have the ability to swap faces.


Overall a 6/10

Paint:


Rin’s paint job is very good, her colour scheme is good and she is very character true. She has some nice shading on her hair, and her face is painted well. All small details painted very neatly as well, no complaints here.


Rin’s accessories are painted good, some nice detail here and there.


8/10

Pose:


Rin uses the E.L.F joint system, which is used by all Fraulein Revoltechs.


Her hands are on Revoltech joints, which move forwards and back and rotate, her elbow is a hinge joint, bending and straightening, a very natural movement, she has two joints at her shoulder, a swivel joint at the top of her arm allowing her arm to rotate, and at her shoulder a Revoltech joint so she can move her shoulder forwards back, up and down, and rotate.


Her neck has a Revoltech joint, so she can look up and down and side to side.


Under her chest she has a Revoltech joint, to lean forwards and back and twist.


At her bottom/top of her thigh she has a Revoltech joint that moves forwards, but not backwards or side to side. Half way down her thigh she has a swivel joint to allow her leg to turn in and out. At her knee is a hinge joint, giving her a natural movement of knee going backwards. Lastly at her feet she has a Revoltech joint allowing her to point and flex, and can turn in and out.
Rin also has two pony-tails which each have a Revoltech joint for added movement.


8/10

Base:


Rin comes with the standard Fraulein Revoltech stand, which is black and has her make (Fraulein Revoltech), her name and the series she comes from written on the base. The stand itself consists of a base a pole which pegs into it, and then a two jointed Revoltech Joint, which goes in the top of the pole and then into a U shaped holder. The thing to note about the Fraulein Revoltech stands is that they are too tall for the characters, and so when in the stand their legs dangle in the air, which is rather annoying at times.


7/10

Packaging:


Rin comes with the standard Fraulein box, with a window at the front, a picture of her posing on the side, on the other side details and pictures of the E.L.F joint system which the Fraulein Revoltechs use, and on the back pictures of her accessories and some of the poses she can do, and other info, on the bottom of the box all the authorized info, with her authorization stamp, and warning statements (all writing in Japanese)


Inside the box she is held between two molded pieces of plastic, with a space for her accessories, and her stand was in plastic bag attached to the back of her casing. This is standard packaging for the Fraulein Revoltech line. She also came with promo poster of current and upcoming Revoltech action figures. Also take note of the authorized sticker, each figure should have one.


6/10

Enjoyment:


I will break down my review of enjoyment into two categories, accessories, and play value.

Accessories:


Rin has few accessories being one of the first in the Revoltech Fraulein line, she comes with a dagger/short sword and 3 pairs of extra hands, two for holding items, and two with her jewels. And that’s it, no extra faces as the early Frauleins did not have this option. So not many accessories to play around with.

Play Value:


As I mentioned before I got Rin purely to use for a custom figure, and so I didn’t really have a play around with her. But as she comes with so few accessories and has only one facial expression the play value is greatly reduced.


Enjoyment is a 5/10


Over all Rin is a nice figure but not an outstanding one, she has few accessories and has some body proportion issues but none-the-less on the whole she is pleasant looking figure. I don’t really recommend her unless you wish to collect all the Fraulein Revoltech line or Rin Tohsaka figures, as she also has a Figma counterpart which is much better looking with more accessories. But Rin has served my purpose perfectly her parts are great and just doing a rough fit together last night I could see my custom figure was going to look great, so thanks Fraulein Revoltech Rin for donating your parts!

Custom Gundam Project - Wing Gundam Zero Endless Waltz - WIP

For the first time in ages there was a sunny not-so-windy day in which I had no plans and therefore I could get underway with my spray painting! And so I prepared my Gundam runners which are to be painted Pearl White.

As you can see the majority of the Gundam will be Pearl White.

And here is my Gundam done, well that side of the runner, and the edges, but not the underneath.

I used two cans, and need a third to finish up the coloured plastic parts, will have to pick that up on Friday. At the moment they kind of look like frosties!

Here is a picture where you can see the shine of the pearl better. When I am done I will take some photo's with correct lighting so you can see just how Pearly my Gundam is! Oh and thats the box I used to contain the paint, and overalls. I did the spray painting outside so I didn't make a mess or fumigate myself.

As for the rest of the Gundam, the Inner frame is assembled and I have done the last coat of red detailing on it, will touch up the run-overs later and I have also got some matching grey paint to hide the nip marks. As you can see the other box has the pieces which are metallic red, and also the other frame pieces, all are labeled so I don't get confused at final assembly. Similarly the runners which are cut up all have tags so that I know which runner they are from, not that the pieces are similar to each other, but it will just make assembly much quicker.

This evening, when I get back from my evening out, I will assemble all the white pieces which do not need to have their reverse spray painted, that way I don't waste paint, and I will be able to see which nip marks need covering with Pearl. Its not the best spray paint job in the world but as it's my first time using spray paint I think I have done rather well. Sorry that the photo's aren't very clear, as I said will have better photo's when its all finished.

Fix Yuki Project - Solution

As some may know a while back I was trying to fix my Yuki Nagato Fraulein as she had two left arms and a few paint scratches, but due to being unable to fix her I got a replacement instead, using the parts from my other Yuki for my Mascot project. Any way here is my new Yuki with correct arms, no paint scratch on her guitar or hair! fantastic.

Review - Nendoroid Pastel Ink

Pastel Ink.
Moetan.
Nendoroid.
Good Smile Company.
No.37.
Sculpted by Nendoron.
Distributed by Good Smile Company.
Certified by Pastel Ink Cheering Party.

Sculpt:


Pastel Ink ridiculously cute, from her big yellow bow to her lollie-pop. She is classic Nendoroid style with a big head and a little chibi body. Some nice details to note is her clear green ball on her top, which is very nice, her litter frills on the sides of her leotard and bottom of her hair, which are all sculpted well and look great. Apart from that not much to say, except that she comes with two yellow bows which plug into her back, one for normal standing pose and one with shorter bits for sitting down, which is a very nice touch, and makes posing easier.


One complaint is that on her sleeves she has yellow ribbons on her straight arms and not on her bent, which makes a mix of straight and bent arms look a bit odd.


7/10

Paint:


Pastel Ink’s paint job is very good. She has a lot of shading which makes her hair and leotard look very nice. Her face is very nicely done, and her colour scheme just adds to her cuteness. One thing I love is that she has a little bit of blush on her cheeks. Over all a very good job of painting.


Pastel Inks accessories are painted nicely, although the red bow on her lollie-pop is a bit messy. Her other faces and limbs are well painted though, and so is her chair.


8/10

Pose:


Pastel Ink uses the standard Nendoroid joints and articulation.


At her hips she has a Nendoroid joint, which allow her legs to move forwards and back and turn in an out and move side to side, Pastel Ink also comes with a pair of legs which are in a sitting position and peg into her hip.


Her hands are on pegs and can swivel around, and her shoulders have a peg so her arms can move forward and back, and that is the extent of arm movement.


Her neck is on a Nenodoroid joint and can move up and down, and side to side.


Pastel Ink also has two joints at each of her pony-tails.


Nenodoroids do not have a great range of movement and articulation, but what they lack in posability they make up for with cuteness.


Plus all the Nendoroid joints have smiley faces molded into the ball part of the joint, which is very cute.


Unfortunately for me my Pastel Ink was carrying a terrible joint flaw. As I was doing the sculpt shots, where in her neck was barely touched or moved her neck joint snapped! Poor Pastel Ink brand new and already broken, well I thought no big-deal I can use a joint from another of her faces, but alas it wasn’t to be, when I picked up her other face and moved the joint back and forward to check its stability it snapped also! At this point I was rather annoyed, as I was in no way being rough with them, in fact to joints felt very loose and moved, and snapped far to easily. But I had one left and so I very carefully extracted it from it head, and could clearly see that this peg had a crack, and If I was to move the joint back and forward it would snap like the others.

And so now my brand new Nendoroid is broken, with absolutely no neck joints that work. How very upsetting, I sat there for a moment staring at my broken Pastel Ink, and then Raspberyl came along to see what all the fuss was about and to my surprise Raspberyl had a solution!

Sacrificing one of her own neck joints Raspberyl went to work and helped fix Pastel Ink.

She pushed and shoved, until Pastel Ink was all fixed.

And Pastel Ink was very happy and thankful, looks like they will be best friends.

So there you go my Pastel Ink was saved by a volunteered joint donation, however this now means that I will have to use that one joint for all her faces and Raspberyls other face, so hopefully it will hold out, but the joint is much better made then Pastel Ink’s looked. I am just lucky I had another Nendoroid, if not it would have been a worse predicament. I have since noticed though that she has a small crack on one of her hair joints, I am going to try and use super glue or something as a filler on it so that it doesn’t break! So I don’t know whether I just got some bad luck with this Nendoroid or if it is serious malpractice, as I only own this Nendoroid and Raspberyl, so I am not sure whether I bother to lay a complaint or not, what do you all think?


Over all a very low score for this one as I lucked out with the joints 4/10

Base:


Pastel Ink comes with the special Nendoroid stand. Made of clear plastic it has a little pole but instead of a little saddle, she has a piece which goes in between her bow and her back, securing her to the stand. This piece can slide up and down the pole at different heights.

She also comes with a piece which plugs into the stand of a 1/8 scale figure of herself which Good Smile Company also made.


6/10

Packaging:


Paste Ink comes with the standard Nenodoroid box, with a window at the front, little windows and a picture of her posing on the each side, and on the back pictures of her posing with her accessories, and other info, with her authorization and warning statements (all writing in Japanese)


Inside the box she is held between two molded pieces of plastic, with a space for her all her accessories. This is standard Nendoroid packaging. Also take note of the authorization, each figure should have one.


7/10

Enjoyment:


I will break down my review of enjoyment into two categories, accessories, and play value.

Accessories:

Pastel Ink comes with a number of accessories. First of all she comes with a little chair, and related to this are her sitting legs, and her extra yellow bow which has shorter pieces so she can sit down properly, a very nice touch by Good Smile Company. She also comes with two bent arms, and closed fist hands, a pointing hand and a hand for holding her lollie-pop. She has two extra faces, one depressed or tired looking face, and one stubborn yet crying face, very cute indeed. And of course her little girl lollie-pop.

Play Value:


Pastel Ink is just so damn cute. With her good number of accessories and very expressive faces I can see a lot of play value to be had, and she has already had some with Raspberyl, however I do not think she would see her broken neck getting fixed as playing. With two Nendoroids I can now envision a few very fun scenes to act out.


Enjoyment is a 9/10


Overall, and despite the broken neck joints I thoroughly enjoy Pastel Ink and recommend her (hopefully you won’t have the problem I had). She is a uber cute figure to add to my collection, and I can see her and Raspberyl getting up to a lot of mischief

Review - Figma Aegis

Aegis.
Persona 3.
Figma.
Max Factory.
No.049.
Sculpted by Masaki Apsy.
Distributed by Good SMILE Company.
Certified by ATLUS Co. LTD.

Sculpt:


Aegis has a very elegant sculpt. She is very tall and slender, and her design is very aesthetically pleasing. Starting from the top, her hair sculpt is very good, and she as nice detail on her head band. Her clothes are nice, with a big red bow on her collar and detailed areas on her shoulders and thighs, with her joints being well disguised in these areas. She has no feet, instead they end in a rather robot fashion, but as an android this is expected. She also has machine guns on both of her arms, which have a space for her cartridges to plug into. A nice touch is her arm-band which read SEES and is free from her sculpt, made out of semi-soft PVC.


One down side is that because she is very thin and tall she has very poor balance and it’s difficult to get her standing. One other thing is that she has unusually pointy knee caps, which is kind of weird, but perhaps that’s just me.


8/10

Paint:


Aegis has a great colour scheme and is painted well. Her silver detailing is painted well, and has few areas where the paint runs over the lines, these places being mainly on her head band, where the red paint is a bit messy. However on a whole her paint job is good. He hands are all tipped well, with the end of the fingers all being silver and her faces are very well done, her eyes are done wonderfully and give her a kind of depth. A downside is that at her chest joint the movement rubs some of the silver off onto the white, but brushing over it with you finger removes this, but I can see this leading to a possible wearing away of the silver paint there.


Aegis’ accessories are nicely painted, all shiny and sparkly. I particularly like her rocket punch which has gold, red and blue.


7/10

Pose:


Aegis uses the standard Figma joints and articulation, with some extra features.


As Aegis has no feet per-say her articulation begins at her knees, where she has a Figma joint, moving backwards and slightly side to side, and added feature which Aegis has which is comparable to the first run of Fraulein Revoltechs is a swivel joint at the top of her thighs, so that her leg can turn in and out, however my Aegis’ joint here is very right and is difficult to move. At her hip she has the regular joint which twists her to turn in and out, and move forward and back, and side to side.


Under her chest is a ball joint, so she can lean forward and back and twist side to side, giving her a realistic range of motion.


Her neck is on a Figma joint and can move up and down, and side to side, but once again the movement is very restricted by the hair design, Figma have not yet addressed this issue as it recurring throughout most of their figures.


At her shoulders she has a ball joint, and she can move her shoulder in any direction, at her elbow is a Figma joint, allowing her to bend and rotate her arm in and out. Her hands have two joints; they plug into her and can swivel around and have a hinge joint at the hand to move back and forth. With Aegis they have removed the ball at the end of her hand pegs making it easier to change her hands, however the right one is loose and her hands fall off every now and then when posing.


8/10

Base:


Aegis comes with the standard Figma stand. Made of clear plastic it has three points of articulation which moves forwards and back, one at the where it plugs into the base, one in the middle of the pole and one where it plugs into the Figma. A nice stand, great for creating dynamic poses and due to being clear does not interfere too much with taking pictures.


Aegis also comes with two peg brackets which slot into her feet, and allow her to stand up free from the main stand.


7/10

Packaging:


Aegis comes with the standard Figma box, with a window at the front, a picture of her posing on the side, on the other side the Figma logo, and on the back pictures of her posing with her accessories, and other info, , with her authorization and warning statements (all writing in Japanese)


Inside the box she is held between two molded pieces of plastic, with a space for her main accessories and the rest of her accessories in plastic bags in a space in her plastic casing. This is standard Figma packaging. She also comes with a pull out back drop of silver which is acting as the coloured inside of the box. Also take note of the authorized sticker, each figure should have one.


6/10

Enjoyment:


I will break down my review of enjoyment into two categories, accessories, and play value.

Accessories:


Aegis doesn’t come with a lot of accessories. She has two extra faces, one angry and one sheepishly smiling, which is very cute. She comes with the usual amount of extra hands, however two of which are almost identical positions. A nice touch is they supply hands for holding objects even though she doesn’t come with anything to hold, but this means she could wield a sword or leak if she so wished. She also comes with her two machine guns which slot into her arms, and a rocket punch, which is very cool indeed. It slots onto her left arm and the end fist part can even come off so you can create a sequence of action shots and poses if you wish, with the fist flying off into someone else’s face!

Play Value:


Aegis I see as having a lot of play value, she will happily join my warrior figures, and pitted against them will provide a challenge as they are sword-women and she is an android! As for ability to pose, although it is hard to get her to stand without a stand, due to her poor balance, with the stand and with my Di: Stage this is not a problem. She has great range of motion allowing you to get her into a number of poses, and even though her accessories are few her overall look, and the rocket punch make up for that. For myself I can see a number of comic ideas arising from this androids journey of discovering her human side.


Enjoyment is a 7/10


Over all Aegis is worth the get, even if you haven’t played the games, I personally have been interested in the Persona games but as currently I am between gaming platforms (sold my ps2 am waiting for ps3 to become more affordable) I have not been able to play the game yet, however a great Figma none-the-less. I can see myself getting a lot of value out of her, and I already got scratches on her from taking photo’s outside, (I am so bad, Signum and Saber have to many scratches now!). So I recommend for any Figma fan and spesh for fans of cyborg android esc figures.

Wing Gundam Zero Endless Waltz - WIP

I received my Wing Gundam Zero Endless Waltz the other day, and was so excited I got to work on it at once!

Now in the spirit of my recent custom frenzy, I bought this Gundam with a custom paintjob already in mind. And so here is a lovely picture (came with Gundam) of how the Gundam should look, however mine will be different.

I have gotten to work doing little details on the frame parts of the Gundam. A nice metallic red.

I have also done some detail on the pieces which will have colour, and they are painted metallic red, and clear red on the clear plastic parts, with clear yellow for the eyes, I refuse to use the stickers provided! And have also started painting the little men that came with the Gundam, they are tiny and annoying to paint, but it will look better if they are painted.

Okay and here are the rest of the parts, which will not be hand painted, as they are the majority of the Gundam and the outer armor I am going to spray paint them (when I get a nice sunny day) and they will all be pearl white, possibly with some detail of red metallic afterwards, and poss some decal, but I haven’t decided yet. Oh and I will review the Gundam when it is built!

Figure Orders - Exclusive Figma

In a moment of weakness I gave into temptation and I ordered an Exclusive FIGMA!!!!

She is the nicest and cutest exclusive figure in my opinion, Figma Cute from Queens Blade Spiral Chaos, and comes in the PSP Gekitou pack, now I am just getting the pack for the figma, I don't own a PSP plus I don't think it would run on PSP's in NZ, so if anyone wants to buy just the game, let me know!

Anyway the story goes I was having  a bad day, had an exam coming up, had just got a B for an assignment when I wanted an A, so I was feeling down, and I was flicking through Tsuki-Board and I was like what the heck I'll get her.

As you can see Cute is an awesome figma, I mean the detail and design of her is just awesome, she is uber cute and I love the bright colours, she kind of is wearing wacky Japanese street fashion, I love it. I was originally going to try and get her when I visit Japan, but hey why wait! Anyway I ordered her with Amiami and she is my first order with them, since they now have an English site, and will ship internationally.

I am really excited about her, she just looks so freaken cool. She comes out I believe this December, and I will be getting her EMS shipped for a change, however as it will be December she will likely be delayed in reaching me, post services for international things in NZ get shocking around Christmas time. Oh and as I said before if anyone wants to buy just the PSP game from me, just name a price. :)

Figure Mod Project Custom Re-paint Stage Five/ Custom Figure Project

Just an update on my progress for my customs. Well where do I start, the enamel pink paint which was on my idolmasters just would not dry properly and stick to the figure, so I stripped it all off sanded and now have applied a base coat of acrylic silver, hopefully this will provide a good surface for the enamel to stay on! I still have not top coated my figures, will prob wait until I have all ready for top coat. As for Hotrodimus, seen above, after finishing him up I decided I didn't like it, and so I repainted and using a normal metallic pen I have done lining in blue, which I think looks very cool. So his colour scheme is now going to be metallic blue and metallic black.

So a few set backs to the completion of my figures, however I have made head way in my custom figure mascot project, with the Yuki figure parts almost finished. And I will now give you a sneak peak!

Here is her hair, I wanted a metallic orange, kind of like the lovely orange you get on emperor penguins cheeks, and so I used a base coat of silver and now I am just layering up with a clear orange, is looking really good.

Some of her clothing, she has a nice modified sailor uniform thing, which is semi gloss black, A nice white bow for her hair, and her hands will have fingerless gloves, as fingerless gloves are awesome and cool.

She will also have some cool accessories, semi gloss black coat and hat, I have modified the cloak slightly, but you can't see in this picture, also the hat will soon have some modifications. Also she will have a metallic red guitar, so just a silver base coat on at the moment.

So far Optimistic Penguin is looking good, I am very excited about her, just waiting upon figure Rin for the other parts which will make up my mascot. As you can see she will be penguin themed of course with a nice black and white outfit.

Review - Nendoroid Raspberyl

Rasberyl.
Makai Senki Disgaea 3.
Nendoroid.
Phat Company.
No.78.
Sculpted by M.I.C.
Distributed by Good SMILE Company.
Certified by Nippon Ichi Software Inc.

Sculpt:


Raspberyl’s sculpt is very nice and cute. She has the trademark Nendoroid small chibi body and huge cute head. Starting with her head, her hair is lovely, very nicely done, and her horns just look fantastic and are designed very well. Her little bone clip poking out of her fringe is a very cute little touch. Her faces are great, and the expressions are just so fun. They really bring out the characters personality.


Her clothing design is good, very cute with nice detailing. Her wings are made of soft PVC and can move slightly, however doing so too often would crack the paint. Her tail is really big, but cute none-the-less, however it would have been nice if she had some articulation in her tail.


As for her legs, they are short, chubby and cute, and she has little skulls on her boots. So overall I am happy with the sculpt she is way cute, from her little boots to her horns, just a lovely character.


8/10

Paint:


Raspberyl is an overall good job, but with some minor complaints. Firstly her hair is shaded really well, and I just love the colour. The eyes of the skull on her top are also shaded really well, and Raspberyl’s faces have very nicely painted eyes as well. Her tail and wings are a lovely pink and pale pink underneath. On the whole her colour scheme is very simple but very nice, just black, white, with some pinks and purples.


However there are some minor paint issues with my Raspberyl, firstly her wings have some paint cracking at the very base, due to the fact that they are soft plastic and can move slightly, however as you only see this on close inspection it is not a big deal. Her boots also have a bit of messy paint work.


Raspberyl’s accessories are well painted, with lovely gold tips to the corner of her book.


Over all I am very happy with her paint job so it’s a 7/10

Pose:


Raspberyl uses the standard Nendoroid joints and articulation.


At her hips she has a Nendoroid joint, which allow her legs to move forwards and back and turn in an out and move side to side.


Her hands are on pegs and can swivel around, and her shoulders have a peg so her arms can move forward and back, and that is the extent of arm movement.


Her neck is on a Nenodoroid joint and can move up and down, and side to side.


Nenodoroids do not have a great range of movement and articulation, but what they lack in posability they make up for with cuteness.


Plus all the Nendoroid joints have smiley faces molded into the ball part of the joint, which is very cute.

6/10

Base:


Rasberyl comes with the standard Nendoroid stand. Made of clear plastic it has a little pole and a saddle type thing which attaches to it, which the Nendoroid then placed on, so she can stand up securely.


6/10

Packaging:


Rasberyl comes with the standard Nenodoroid box, with a window at the front, little windows and a picture of her posing on the each side, and on the back pictures of her posing with her accessories, and other info, , with her authorization and warning statements (all writing in Japanese)


Inside the box she is held between two molded pieces of plastic, with a space for her all her accessories. This is standard Nendoroid packaging. Also take note of the authorization, each figure should have one.


7/10

Enjoyment:


I will break down my review of enjoyment into two categories, accessories, and play value.

Accessories:


Raspberyl comes with two extra faces, a happy face and an angry face, as well as the default surprised face. The happy face is very cute as it has her little fangs showing. She also comes with glasses, for reading I presume, a piece of meat on the bone, and a book, which can actually open, and has things written inside, a lovely added touch. She also has two extra arms, which are bent, and two different extra hands, one for holding her meat and one pointing.

Play Value:


Despite lack of articulation Raspberyl is extremely fun to play with. She is just so cute. Her accessories are great and her expressions are wonderful, I can see myself having a lot of fun with this one.


Enjoyment is a 8/10


Raspberyl is my first Nendoroid, and I am very happy with her, although she has nowhere near the articulation of a Figma or Revoltech, her shear cuteness makes up for this. Usually I do not like distorted looking characters, but for some reason Raspberyl appealed to me where other Nendoroids have not. Perhaps it’s her cute devilishness, perhaps I am just a sucker for things with wings and horns, whatever it is I knew as soon as I saw her that I had to get her, and I have not regretted it. She is cute, mischievous and spunky, as a figure she has a lot of personality, and I am sure she will get along famously with my growing family of figures.

Custom Figure Project - Optimistic Penguin?

What happens when you combine Fraulein Revoltech Yuki Nagato and Fraulein Revoltech Rin Tosaka?

You get Optimistic Penguin!!!!

lol that’s right I am going to do my very own custom figure, a mascot for my website, my very own character and she will be code named Optimistic Penguin.


Okay now the story behind this idea is the fact that in my attempt to fix my current Yuki Nagato, well I just couldn't fix the arm properly, and so I am getting a replacement Yuki figure. Anyway I thought to myself well what do I with all the extra parts? Heck why not custom, creating my very own character and what better character to make than a mascot for my website. So I thought about how I want my character to look and looked through the other Fraulein Revoltechs around and decided that Rin had the style of clothing I want, plus she has ponytails and I would like a nice ponytail for my mascot. And so very naughtily I have ordered them, and upon arrival I will start my project. This project will be epic it will require painting, cutting, sanding, and possibly some model sculpting, and out of it will be born the lovely and cute Optimistic Penguin. I am very excited I will start preparing the parts I have already!


Oh and to make it fun and mysterious I will only post once the figure is all complete!
