I have once come across a figma Lacus Clyne from Gundamaniac, which is also mentioned in the figma blog. However, this is not official.
What's this all about? o_o
It turns out that it is modified by yui_style from Toysdaily forum, using figma Miku, and a (apparently) rare shokugan trading figure of Lacus from SEED Heroine series.
Two more 'victims' to the modification:
figma Mikuru's leg joints and another trading figure of Lacus.
The finished product!
This picture can easily fool me to think that it's a real production figure.
According to yui_style, the arms are trimmed down thoroughly as there are no figmas with summer uniforms available (i.e. no short sleeves). The trimmed sleeves later become part of the boots.
Two songstresses side by side!
Lacus' neck is longer than here as this is an earlier picture. This was rectified in the later pictures.
Although I am not a fan of Lacus, I have to admit that it's a wonderful work!
Would you ever think of modifying your figma? I don't think I can afford to do such things to mine ^^;;
All images are from Toysdaily forum
On a side note, the limited black hair Shana is now available for preorder on Play-Asia (credits to zenical from zotaku)
And the gorgeous figma Fate T Harlaown is known to have a re-release in late October (info from figma blog). Those who have missed it last time will now have a second chance!
Thats mod is pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteI wouldnt try it tough.I dont think my try would turn out any good^^
whoever made this deserve a cookie.
ReplyDeleteYeah I saw that Figma Lacus before. Neat job though. I can't bear to hurt my beauties.. even if you pay me =/ Well credits to me again XD. Not looking forward to Figma Fate.. not now.. -_- I am so poor.
ReplyDeleteShe looks a lot better than the usual Lacus image...not so innocent and "I'm an adult but still seem like a 8 year old girl"ish.
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes, that's a great figma mod. I still haven't gotten around to turning Yuki into Kyonko yet...but I will do it, I promise that.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is indeed a well modified figure! I wouldn't mind modifying 2 of my figma's in future, though I haven't really modded anything before ^^;
ReplyDeleteShana being available is brilliant news ;_;
@ Blowfish:
ReplyDeleteI won't dare to modify a figma at all; it's too much for me to take >_<.
@ gordon:
It is a job well done~ Definitely a cookie for him!
@ zenical:
A lot of people on the forum are surprised that yui_style uses Miku to mod it, because she is expensive to acquire in Hong Kong. While I may consider modding a gunpla if I have the time and skill, I can't afford to mod a figma
@ Apt-1B:
Hahaha innocent 8 year old girl. This Lacus does look more natural like so.
@ Clear Tranquil:
Oh you're planning to mod Yuki into Kyonko! Sounds very interesting; looking forward to it when you have the time!
@ suki:
It may sound tough trying to mod for the first time, but the modder claims that it's his first time as well. How crazy is that!
Gonna preorder Shana now?
I was thinking of building a fate gundam myself.. XD
ReplyDeleteThis mod will be a sure hit. I can see preorders closed in the next 5mins if it was up. lol
ReplyDeleteAh, the limited edition figma black hair shana. I got mine preordered secured. ^^
@ Q. Oh~ That gives us hope now, considereing that it's his first mod ^-^
ReplyDeleteYup, I'm making plans to pre order her just hope that I make it in time. You deserve a cookie for letting me know that she's available :3
**hands a cookie to Q**
@ Optic:
ReplyDeleteGiven how popular Lacus is, I can definitely see it being a killer figure in the market!
Btw good to hear that you got black hair Shana preordered!
@ suki:
Ah if it it weren't for zenical's info, I wouldn't have known it by now. But thanks for the cookie!
@ Q. You're very welcome ^-^
ReplyDelete@ zenical:
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed your comment orz. o_o A Gundam Musume sounds ambitious~
@ suki:
Looking forward to your first mod when the time comes~
Considering how difficult it is to get a Figma Miku, I feel like cursing this guy as much as I'm impressed with his skills.
ReplyDelete@ Hangman:
ReplyDeleteI agree with you; it is indeed not easy to get a figma Miku prior to her re-release in November (and the price is high in Hong Kong due to very low stock), so a lot of people find this move to be very daring. I am sure people won't forgive him if he did mess it up though ^^;;
