It’s been a while since a craft post, and while these two aren’t particular novel I thought they were unusual enough to warrant a mini showcase!
I saw these Figure-rise Bust kits in Japan last year but they were all of (Gundam) characters I didn’t know. Recently however this Miku kit came out and I had to have it. And yes, it’s an actual kit and not a figure:
Pay attention to the face which is molded in many colours thus eliminating the need for stamps:
Assembly was easy, and even though the kit did include some stickers they were easy to apply and are mostly hidden:
Completed, it looks amazing!
The only customization I did was using my Gundam paint pen to give her black fingernails. She’ll sit now forever on a shelf looking pretty 🙂
Next we have this LEGO kit I bought in Scotland:
This was one of those kits designed by ‘normal’ people that – since it received over 10000 votes online – became a real product. It’s based on Tron Legacy, which is a much, much better film than you think…
Assembly was trivial for a LEGO prodigy like myself and I liked the unusual colours and ‘Tronny’ aesthetic. You can either have Sam fighting Rinzler in a high-stakes disc battle, or battling via lightcycles on the grid:
It’s a nifty kit, well worth the cost for someone who appreciates Tron Legacy as the masterpiece many incorrectly think it isn’t. It’ll now sit forever on my shelf looking digital.
“Tron: Legacy” was mostly garbage. The girl and the bar were the saving graces…as girls and bars so often are.
I’d say Tron Legacy was disappointing. Although it looks fantastic, it was never going to be as awesome as the first one.
I’ll get that Tron Lego though.
