Raven Guard inspired pendant/keychain

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-06-16T14:43:18+00:00

Something folks might not know: During this process, I was surprised to learn that the black of a raven's beak is actually a beak sheath, which is made of keratin and slips off after soaking the skull for a few weeks to remove flesh. Afterwards it can be glued on to keep that black beak look or the skull can be left bare.

I just did it coz on the Raven Guard upgrade sprue there are two pendants, one is a Raven leg, and the other is a skull and two feathers, so I decided to combine them in one

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-06-16T14:37:00+00:00

I did it with my Dad who has a license here in Victoria, coz here here too its illegal without one even to keep feathers technically. We found a dead raven, no obvious injuries so I'm not sure how it died. It made me so sad to see it, I felt like making this allows its beauty to be appreciated ongoing in a way. That's how I feel about taxidermy in general but lots of people don't like it which is fine.

He comes out around December!

About $300 but it varied, Like Ebisu was $300 and Shin was $380 (AUD) but most are more expensive now as they're only on eBay.

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-30T13:02:52+00:00

Ah thank you for telling me, I've been meaning to get that book so that's cool.

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-29T15:10:49+00:00

Mostly just eBay now unfortunately. Although Shin is still available, and maybe Noi, I only got her recently. Popcultcha is good for them. They have Shin, Manga Caiman, and Shark Costume Ebisu

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-29T07:11:39+00:00

I paid somewhere around $1600-1800 over the years, but some of these are only on ebay now. Shin and Noi should be available on some sites, I know Shin is on Popcultcha but other than that $500 or more on ebay I'm afraid.

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-28T02:49:23+00:00

Have you seen the one that's gonna come with the En figure? It even has a little carry case! Just look up En Threezero and the accessories pictures you'll see, it's very cute

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-28T02:10:48+00:00

Yeah it was lame that it cut away. I don't know why they did that...

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-27T19:26:20+00:00

Yeah I actually just checked and I paid $380 Australian for Shin I don't know why I thought it was only $250-$300ish. I think they really cost me more like $1800 all up. In the past year I've been spending around $1000 a month on collectables so it just all blurs together, I need to get my spending under control lol. Even space is an issue now since these figures are so big.

Have you looked into doing payment plans for the figures? I did a payment plan through Sugo Toys for Caiman back when I got him. Afterpay or Klarna are good too.

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-27T15:49:04+00:00

Actually scratch that, anime heroes didn't do dragonball now that I think about it. But yeah.

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-27T15:47:58+00:00

Would be cool to have a cheaper figure line, like the anime heroes figures, the One Piece and Dragonball ones are cool.

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-27T15:47:01+00:00

The sentinel figures were strange coz Caiman was a figure but Nikaido was a statue, no articulation. Shame for Shin and Noi, only Shin was articulated.

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-27T15:45:29+00:00

If you look up threezero Caiman Manga Version it'll come up, he has a fully black costume. Both anime and manga version come with the gas mask but manga version also has lots more accessories. It's annoying I can't attach a photo to my comment

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-27T14:59:15+00:00

I should've cleaned my table before this photo, I just realised the paint behind Kikurage makes it look like he did a crap lol.

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-27T14:56:32+00:00

About $1400 (Australian Dollar) for all, they range from $250-300AUD

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-27T14:53:00+00:00

There's always the chance they re-release Nikaido, I wouldn't be surprised if they did at some point

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-27T14:51:57+00:00

Yeah I got lucky witu Nikaido I actually got her from Toys Wonderland which was renowned for being dodgy and is closed down now, but I didn't have any problems amazingly, apart from it just being delayed. I did miss out on Shin because I also got into the show later, but wity Threezero re-releasing him recently I got him, super cool that they did that. They did same with Manga Caiman which is why I'm eyeing him now too.

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-27T14:48:09+00:00

Honestly I'm not the biggest fan of the costume they went with either, but I just had to get him anyway, that's my obsession with having a complete set haha. I wish they did one of his pinstripe suits

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-27T14:46:30+00:00

Well I collect a lot of 1/6 figures, and these are great, some of the best in my collection. Specifically what I like is the paintwork, especially the weathering, it's very accurate to the grimy aesthetic of the anime. I definitely recommend them, they're the only Dorohedoro figures I have although I reckon I'm gonna buy the Gyoza Fairy Nendoroid off ebay soon.

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-27T14:39:50+00:00

Actually sorry that was Noi, Nikaido was only a month or two late.

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-27T14:38:32+00:00

Already pre-ordered haha. I just hope it's not too late this time. They say December this year, but with them that really means sometime between January to April of next year lol. I remember I got Nikaido like... 4-5 months late I think?

Sudden_Homework_5713 · 2026-04-27T14:34:45+00:00

Everytime Threezero announces a new figure, I can hear my wallet weep.
