custom busou shinki

one more shinki to my collection, this time I bought a blank body (strarf mk.2 swimwear version) which I had planned to use to give grapprap a new body and to restore benio but it turned out that the body was an upgraded version (konami changed some of the things on the body, there are 3 different versions) so some of the parts didn't fit, so after wasting some time I got an idea to use a figma head so I grabbed my spare kuroneko figma (I have 3 in total) and after some light modding and messing with it was finished, so here is the finished product, busou shinki kuroneko:

 

for armor/weapons I basically just grabbed whatever spare armor/weapons that would fit, the armor/weapon parts are:
grapprap: upper leg armor
benio: shoulder armor, sword
waffebunny: hand gun
maochao: wrist spacers

I'm still trying to think of what armor/weapons might look better so I'm still messing with it, but now that this has been made I have restored my other kuroneko figma back to normal (she no longer has gundam parts), for right now I'm happy with it.

the top pictures do not have a camera flash and the bottom pictures do have a camera flash (top: no flash, bottom: yes flash)

busou shinki

so recently I've gotten into mecha musume type stuff and through this I discovered busou shinki (I believe they are made by konami), they are kind of like figma but they are geared towards people who like to make customs. they sell what I call armor sets which are basically all the parts you need to make a certain character, all the parts except for a body but if you already have a figure all the parts are able to be swapped out but if you don't want to do that they also sell blank bodies for this. I personally bought 3 full figures and a armor set, I had originally gotten the armor set thinking that it was just an extension pack for a certain character but as I found out it was for making a whole nother character altogether so I took the double I had bought and used it to make my third character, the "custom" character as I call it is named waffebunny the body is from a character called mao chao (might also be spelled like this: MaoChao), I have yet to open the other two I got (another mao chao and a character named howling)

as you can see in the picture the color of the body doesn't really match the armor but I used what I had, anyways the left side has no camera flash and the right side has camera flash (left: no flash, right: yes flash)

all in all, I'm happy with it.
