I received my Very Cool Miss Spetsnaz body, so I took some “clearer” photos of the head sculpt. I don’t own any 1:6 female action figure clothes, so I didn’t take any full body shots of her (there’s probably plenty of them by now elsewhere). I did, however, widen her neck because this neck on the VC female body is incredibly narrow, which is one of my biggest pet-peeves with most dolls of any kind. I only own old female action figures (mostly the ancient, carded HT and Triad Toys ones plus kitbashed parts). So, I assumed most modern 1:6 female action figure necks were wider based on my older than dust ones. I am okay with the body overall, but not happy about the hugeness of the bust, despite VC calling this size “medium.”   

I still love this head sculpt to bits, so I might still try to put it on a male Xinyiwawa body, because that was my original intention after all. I might just live with the hair style on a male doll I own... DX Will see. 

The last photo is the before I widened the neck, and the after. I would still like it quite a bit wider, but I am scared of ripping the “rubbery” neck. I sincerely wish rubbery plastic parts weren’t a thing, it doesn’t really add that much to the posing ability, in fact gets in the way! And also makes these bodies fragile, in the long run -- these types of soft plastic don’t age well. There are already full silicone bodies out there, so it kind of limits the options, when all you have is partial-rubery bodies, or all silicone bodies. Not like I wish all companies went back to solid plastics, just wish there was at least one company, making full-hard-plastic-parts, bodies again. T__T;;

Generally, I eschew any and all current events, especially anything that could be political in any way.  However, if you’re reading this, you’re undoubtedly aware of the global pandemic.  Everyone can do your part!  This is not just a you thing, not a me thing, this is…

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK SUPER MOM @Regrann from @missdutchessrn - #5plates #beastmode #femaleactionfigure #quadsworkout #hamstrings #itsavibe #2amworkout #traumanurse - #regrann

Just three tiny toys I got recently. 

From left to right:  SEGA Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba "The Hashira Gathered!" Ohiruneko Mini Figure Vol. 1  Giyu Tomioka Mini FIgure; Megahouse NARUTO Shippuden Nyaruto Akatsuki Battle Sasuke Uchiha  Mini Figure; Very Cool Miss Spetsnaz Female Head Sculpt (VCF-2058A). 

I got what I believe was a set of all three Vol. 1 Ohiruneko Demon Slayer mini figures from B&N, back around July of this year. But no! They don’t specify on their website that you only get one random figure. I should have known, based on the fact that the boxes look exactly like the Kuji ones won randomly. I originally got mine on pre-order on GS, but they kept delaying the release date, then they cancelled the other for having oversold the items like usual. They list the ones on their website as a set of all three, in a window display play box. That’s why when I got mine from B&N, I assumed (like an idiot) that these were also a set of all three. I was able to secure my Giyu however, in pristine condition from an official GSC dealer, so he arrived literally in collector’s condition, blemish free and super quickly, despite current USA weather conditions. I was also able to get one of the five kitty Megahouse Sasuke figures that I was missing. Now I just need four more. I’m super happy with both, although these are kind of expensive for their size! When will it ever end? T___T

Finally, I got another Very Cool head sculpt I was eyeing for a while now. I originally was looking to get the OG release of this head, with the brown eyes and tanner skin. However, the head was kind of super popular and the legit was going for too much second market when I remembered looking for it parted out. This year or late last year, however, Very Cool re-release her in two different sets, with “paler” complexion and blue eyes! I was finally able to get her for a “semi-decent’ price, that I was willing to pay. Now I am kicking myself, because I didn’t get her body, and I kind of want to leave her on a female body after seeing her in person. I was thinking of putting her on a male body, but due to her braided hair, and overall realistic facial features, I don’t know how I feel about that anymore. 

I love the sculpt, it is gorgeous (that’s why I wanted it for so long!), however, I don't’ feel it would work so well on a Xinyiwawa male body, mostly due to the hair style and I don’t want to attempt removing the rooted plastic cap. They are normally glued on and not meant to be removed. I know some people do so but finding hair that would work would probably be an ordeal and matching the super pale Xinyiwawa body to the sculpt’s tone would be another ordeal. So, I’ll probably just keep her on a female body. Although, I don’t want to get her a body with a huge bust, her default kind of has a huge one. However, finding bodies that actually match and have smaller bust is probably another painful experience I don’t know I want to put myself through. She’s not as pale as she appears in most of my crappy photos -- my camera refused to take decent, clear photos of her at all!  *hugesigh* DX
