Every once in a while, a gathering or two just don’t make the cut… I checked out the pics in Heisei Democracy,, too dark to make out the facial features but let’s just say this saber isn’t in my cup of tea.

Probably…the original sculpture was made by Sculptor Toushirou of circle Cobra-Kai. I think the original japanese sculpt looks way better. You can find some pictures in Heisei Democracy…Wish there is a official release, on PVC or cold cast perhaps?…

Even though I buy a lot of Gathering figures from E2046, I find it difficult for me to embrace this particular version of Saber >.> For some reason, it just look strange to me, a bit more western sculpture influence perhaps?

1/4?Nice!
Im sorry to hear that she came with some flaws…My Gathering Kit smelled of fresh paint aswell but i didnt have any problems with paint transition like you did.
The Design might not really follow the original Saber Design but you knew that beforehand and in my opinion its nice to see other artists interpretations of popular character designs.

You sure have some guts top take those castoff pictures in public ^_^

Hmm, not bad. I’ve got mixed feelings about her face, but I can think of it as “alternative” instead of “wrong”. It looks a bit weird, but I do like the really “athletic” feel of her body. Almost certainly disproportionate, too skinny to hold a big sword like that, and exaggerated. At the same time, it’s taut, lean and powerful; a good nude as opposed to being porn-y.

oh just found it! yay cast off! it should still help because even if the paint is dry it’ll end up rubbing off on her skin if you play cast off a few times. You’ll learn that with cast off figures you need to do this often even with PVC figures as they paint all the parts and the paint tends to rub off on the skin…

I think you missed out the link to toggle visibility for adult content…it is up there…

I should tryout what you meant about the thinner, but right now, the paint is already dry so it dont affect the body anymore…

no cast off pictures? You complain about her having lines on her body but you didn’t show them at all. Also if there is too much paint rubbing off on her take some paint thinner to the part that touches her skin. parts that don’t really show, and remove the paint there, no paint means no paint transfer.

I swear, I don’t think I’ve seen more than like 2 sabers that have spot on face design. Kinda odd that it would be so hard with that number of figures =/
