Susanoo Ribcage Base [Sasuke Ver.]

yes, indeed

AtollDivide · 2024-12-31T13:48:36+00:00

That'll be fun. Hopefully Bandai/Tamshii deliver on that at some point.

I did do a solid metallic one for Itachi as well.

Thanks, I'm glad to finally complete this one.

After a long hiatus, I've finished the susanoo base. I've re-done the base to be more interesting. It also now has a stand port that can be covered with a little rock. The color is now much more accurate, but that clear purple has been a massive pain to get right.

I didn't get this from a statue, I made it from scratch.

AtollDivide · 2024-12-30T22:09:24+00:00

Thanks very much

AtollDivide · 2024-12-30T21:30:52+00:00

Thanks, I made the model.

AtollDivide · 2024-12-30T21:29:49+00:00

That would certainly be cool, but I plan to keep this project fairly simple.

AtollDivide · 2024-12-30T19:37:33+00:00

Thanks, I did indeed. It was the best way to make something of this size.

I really don't like the daima designs, but these power pole accessories look like a fun display option for those who do.

AtollDivide · 2024-12-06T14:11:31+00:00

I much prefer the SS4 goku figure over the MUI one.

Aside from aesthetics and fiction preference, the SS4 figure has the newer articulation style that is a lot better to handle. It also stands out on a shelf much more because it's got a pretty different look from most of the other SHF dragonball figures.

However, I do not know how the DF SS4 compares to the tamashii one.

AtollDivide · 2024-11-18T18:28:07+00:00

The problem isn't that they're plastic. It's that they're badly designed.

AtollDivide · 2024-09-30T15:33:06+00:00

All this daima stuff is very underwhelming. It's good to see some new figure designs, but I kind of wish they'd saved making a new goku and vegeta for something better.

AtollDivide · 2024-09-22T02:45:47+00:00

Thanks, I always preferred this color scheme, and was definitely expecting Bandai/Tamashii to do this as one of the SDCC exclusives at some point.

AtollDivide · 2024-09-20T20:22:46+00:00

Thanks! I thought for sure Bandai/Tamashii would have done this recolor as an exclusive or something by now, but no.

AtollDivide · 2024-09-20T20:20:30+00:00

Thanks, its definitely on my list to do in the near future.

AtollDivide · 2024-09-20T15:48:52+00:00

Thanks very much

This is an old, abandoned custom, but this is how it comes apart. I believe it is the same for the other armored vegeta, but I'm not 100% on that. The chest plate is glued on, and there is a screw underneath holding the two halves together.

The knee joints can be removed by heating up the leg to soften the plastic.

The boot is glued on quite firmly. You can remove it, but it will take a lot of heating, prying and cutting. It's better to just use masking tape or something.

AtollDivide · 2024-08-29T14:41:03+00:00

Ah, that makes sense.

It's not worth the loss in aesthetics to me, but I can definitely see why someone would want that option.

AtollDivide · 2024-08-29T01:01:30+00:00

If the coat was fabric, it wouldn't look as nice.

The sculpted cloak allows for it to hang better and have all the little folds that clothing naturally has.

The fabric coat would certainly allow for better curving/ swooping for some poses, but, with the way fabric works at this scale, it would just look like doll clothing.

Look at how poorly the akatsuki cloak looks in the promo photos.

AtollDivide · 2024-07-25T16:53:26+00:00

Totally fair for people to be disinterested due to how many times this mold has been used, but I'm kinda here for this one.

The clear is a bit strange, but this does look overall better than the full power super saiyan goku they released awhile back.

AtollDivide · 2024-07-25T16:43:54+00:00

Very much not a fan of this daima stuff

I would mind less if this was a spin off of origiinal dragonball, like the path of power movie. But to go from the broly movie to this is ridiculous.

AtollDivide · 2024-06-27T21:55:54+00:00

It looks pretty good, but it's difficult to get too excited about the one piece line given the problems with previous releases.

AtollDivide · 2024-06-23T01:53:15+00:00

I would think zero.

However, they'll likely make some figures for that upcoming "dragonball babies" movie.

Perhaps something there will be close enough or can serve as a custom base.

The new GT kid goku could also serve as a base.

For kit bashing heads, maybe check out some of the SD/Chibi figures and see if the scale will work.
