I don’t know that I ever really got to do a proper set of photos of Hikaru, and after I had someone last night on Instagram expressing interest about Fuu, I thought I would post some.
She’s in varying states of armored because her arm kept falling off haha
today’s office visitor is Hikaru Shidou, with all her modifications and ready for a new body soon!
I’ll have to make a nice comparison post when I get home~
Got Hikaru’s hair contained.
Here’s just a side-by-side before and after, which may be easier to appreciate.
Tweaked Hikaru! I think she looks happier and more alert now.
If I’d known about the bills, these girls probably wouldn’t have happened, but I’ve wanted them for a good fifteen years or so, so I’m pretty happy they did. For those not in the know, these are the girls from the series Magic Knight Rayearth, which was a big influence on me growing up.
They still need some work - Fuu (green) is in need of some hair taming and a ribbon headband, Umi (blue) is badly stained both over and under her blue jacket, and everyone needs me to come up with a solution for their deteriorating boots - but I love them.
The plan is to eventually get them onto bodies that allow them to move more and to fill in a lot of missing paint details on their weapons and armor.
I adore their clothes. They have shirts underneath those jackets with collars and pleats and bows. They feel positively luxurious compared to the kind of doll clothing you end up with today.
