So if I want to use ethe various 1/12 clothes and what not out there I should get a nude body and use it for that plus whatever shinki head/face I have on hand?
>>5736272
I mean you could put clothes over their normal bodies but it'd look like wearing clothes over clothes. See pic above your post. Using the matching nude body for whoever you want to dress up will look much better.
>>5736350
Depending on the Shinki it may look like they're wearing tights under their clothing, it's hot too.

Is Baby Razz worth the prices she usually goes for? I absolutely love her design (2kawaii4me noise marine? Sign me the fuck up) but she is kinda expensive on the aftermarket, and I have heard she's a bit fiddly even by Shinki standards.
>>5736430
Graffias's scorpion tail has an attachment for turning her into a Lamia. Shit's cash.
>>5736782
You can get her for about 11000-12000 yen if you're patient, and yes, she's worth that price.
>>5736795
It can also be used to make her into a scarrow
>>5736795
Fuck, now I need a Graffias.
>>5736796

Tsugaru reindeer snaipah, Waffebunny and Dolphin, Eukrante (bird), Ianeira (fish), Schmetterling (butterfly), Fubuki/Mizuki (Fox and possibly bunny), Maryceles and Proxima, the Oorbellen/Zielbellen sisters with their Swan/balarina motif, Literal Kyknos and Alastore for swan and crow, Artille/Lynx, and Raptias/Eagle.
That's all of them. I-I think?

I've never even heard of these before. Holy fuck they're cool.
>>5737213
I think Fubuki and Mizuki were supposed to be Tengu like. at least Fubuki was. Maryceles and Proxima were based off mythological creatures and the Fencer sisters have gems as the main motif.
>pomf
>wa-what are we gonna do on the bed, master?
>>5737321
It depends what you mean by based on animals
>I think Fubuki and Mizuki were supposed to be Tengu like. at least Fubuki was.
They were definitely Tengu, but tengu were based on animals - crows, foxes, that sort of thing. So you could make an argument for them being animals in a roundabout sort of way.
>Maryceles and Proxima were based off mythological creatures
It depends if you count those as animals or not, especially since you could just as easily say octopus and horse as opposed to kraken and centaur. Of course, if you did, you should Gabrine and Renge
>the Fencer sisters have gems as the main motif.
They also have a ballerina vibe, based specifically on swan lake costumes, so they are based on swans in a VERY roundabout way.

Why. Why would you do this? They sell for so much goddamn money now.

I'm in the same boat anon.
I just look at them robot girl pictures and wish I knew the line back in 09 when I had more money and free time.
>>5737490
not all of them are absurdly expensive.
Partio and the sky-girl line hasn't reached the double digits yet. Most I see partio go for is roughly $70
>>5737490
There are still some cheaper ones. Almost all of them are more expensive than say, a figma, if that's what you're used to, but still some good girls under $100 USD. Just set a FigInStock reminder for your grail Shink.
>>5737490

>>5738064
Maochao.
>>5738077
Specifically, the alternate paintjob one.
>>5737146
>Asuka
Nigga that's a plane miko, granted she's got bunny ears but it's not the predominant theme.
>>5738108
Thus, subtheme.
Murmeltier has a woodchuck/beaver subtheme and Asuka's a bunny.
>>5738239
Marmot, also they are not a defining factor. They are as much as a bunny/marmot as you are a gorilla when you wear a gorilla mask, also dont forget that Fumikane sticks animal ears and tail buttplugs to his girls for the hell of it. There's a reason they are fighter/tank types.

You'll be """"okay"""" if you are only making one or two simple recasts, but if you're planning on making it a business you will need better materials which will call for better equipment so you better have a plan to break even.

Gabrine arrived today from buysmartjapan. Plus side: nothing missing, no broken pieces. Down side: midsection joint a little loose and whoever had her before me fixed the weak ankle joint problem by gluing both joints into a fixed position.
>>5744859
Try isolating the stuck parts and putting them in the freezer for a bit. If it's superglue he used then it should make it possible to free the joints.
>>5744885
Thanks anon. I'll give it try later.
>>5744899
Just be careful, OK? I haven't tried it myself, and I don't want to be indirectly responsible for Gabrine breaking. Try and get some second opinions first, maybe do a little research. Just don't use any kind of "glue remover" on her- they WILL melt the plastic.
>>5744859
Gabrine doesn't actually have weak ankles. She has super-tight ones that get stuck easily. There's no glue in there. Or if there is, they broke once already. Just be gentle with her and you'll work them free.
>>5744859
>whoever had her before me fixed the weak ankle joint problem by gluing both joints into a fixed position.
Dip her feet in warm water and they'll loosen up, this is a common problem among shinkis with ball jointed ankles
...Shinkis can have Stands..?
>>5744923
>tfw my Gabrine came with normal tightness joints.
Shittiest camera in the world, sorry (I'll get a better one if I try to sell anything so you can actually see what you're getting) but here's my first attempt at recasting. The painted ones are the originals and the unpainted ones are my recasts. Just started small with an Architect and Werkstra face, but they turned out very well. There were more than a few small bubbles which are hopefully due to my ineptitude. I'll practice a bit more and if the imperfections clear up at all (or even if they don't) I'll try the full body recast.
Long story short, as of right now, my first run was great for personal use, but not quite high enough quality that I'm considering selling anything yet.
>>5745063
Whoops, forgot the pic.
>>5745064
Looks promising to me.
>>5745170
Just make sure to move them gently, after they've loosened up you wont have to worry about it anymore.
Does anyone here have a custom? Just curious, I pop in and out of the general every few months so I don't really get too familiar with any faces.
>>5745409
The extent of my customization had been metal spacers and flathead screws. I wish I had enough skill to make custom hair pieces.
>>5744140
>M-mastah!
>>5745409
I put azone Custom Lily small pigtails on Lirbiete.
>>5745409
I never take pics, but I have a fairly customized Werkstra. (That's her sleepy face there >>5745064 ) Also in the process of customizing the Waffe sisters to have headset-less heads. I don't know what it is about them, but they're two of my favorites and it's a sin that they only have one face each.
Fort Bragg got a re-release recolor with extra faces. Why couldn't they?
>>5745463
Those pigtails would've been better off on someone whos aware of it's own existance, like Altines Rosa.
>>5745463
Ugh I want that combat dress so badly.
>>5745409
My Renge has a hairpiece and I got got a bunch of laser cut parts from Richigo when he was making them.
>>5745579
The wings and tail are from etsy correct?
>>5745548
Do you just cast pieces to customize or do you sculpt stuff from scratch? Been considering getting into the game but I dunno if I have the skills. I'm an alright painter but I can't sculpt for shit.
>>5745592
I've been using broken/old parts for the most part. For example, my Waffebunny lost a pigtail so I ordered a new one and now use the old one for experimentation. And then kit bashing works a lot. Grab a custom lily, widen the neck hole a bit, slap some cat ears on it, and shove a shinki face into it, or something like that. That gets real expensive though.
Aside from that, it has been sculpting bits from scratch (hair is surprisingly easy) but now casting is giving me a TON more options. One thing I'm planning on doing is recasting Werkstra's front hair piece and giving her straight cut bangs instead of the parted ones, for example. Werkstra would be too expensive and rare for me to irreparably fuck around with before this.
>>5745619

A bit of one...you probably won't ever find a new one, but used ones show up on Jap auction sites fairly regularly (at least a year ago).

>>5746352
Don't you recognize the cast of Dollhouse Anon's comics? He DOES have a dormitory for them, LOL.
And odds are, he either hasn't thought of what to do with the last three yet or prefers them base.
>>5746362
Oh, I've read his comics. It just always looked like a normal house to me. I typically picture a dorm as having multiple bunk beds and the like especially given how many girls he has. For economic purposes of course
Maybe he can get them scarves and hats? That would personalize them a ton.
>>5746352
>>5746362
Currently un-personalized are Edy, my Yda, Lucy my Jusivy, and Leah my Ianeira. I want to give Leah a meme-window sweater, so that one's just logistics, but nothing appropriate has come to me for Edy or Lucy. Lucy's going to be used in a haunted house storyline far in the future, so she needs something cute but creepy. Edy's new, and I just haven't thought of anything for her. She's going to be their Quartermaster, handling inventory and logistics for supplies and the like. (And I already have more hats and scarves than I can shake a stick at, so I want to avoid those going forward.)

I'm super jealous of how good your Maochao's face looks. A lot of the older shinkis' faces get oily, slimy and indistinct looking as the plasticizes leech out. Mine doesn't photograph nearly as well as yours does.

If you don't care about boxes there was an anon selling Renge for $90 on BST couple threads ago. You can try to see if its still up for sale.

Hmmm, should be fine then.
>>5748361
Being sealed doesn't make her immune to leaking plasticizer.
>>5748371
That's adorable.
I have a lot of toys, but only 1 shinki
do shinkis get lonely?
>>5748422
Yes. You must have at least two.
>>5748435
It leaks out under the right conditions. It requires a nebulous combination of temperature, humidity, and time for it to secrete out. One important factor is the composition of the figure. What sort of plastics are injected and how much of each? The quality and variance of these plastic components also play a part. You can easily wash plasticizer away with soapy water. But the more that leaks out the more rigid your plastic will become. These toys aren't designed to last very long. Cherish them while they last.

Plasticizer is a chemical added to make plastic soft and pliable. As the plastic degrades over time, the plasticizer "sweats" out of the figure and it gets more brittle. You'll know it when you touch it because it'll be sticky. You can wash it off but it's likely to come back once it starts. Some figures never have it,, some get it quickly. Exacerbated by things like high temps and humidity, but not necessarily caused by them. It is a mystery. For certain protection, sacrifice a Benio to the toy gods.

Renge and most other mms 3rds don't suffer from the leaky plasticizer issue, at least under 'normal' conditions. Ignore the scare stories.

Leave her alone. She may not be the prettiest but she is pure of heart and strong of will.
What are these even for? Other then brightfeather with the glasses but those brown things. What are they?
>>5748631
Those aren't shinki parts, they look like PLUM's ears and glasses set. I have them, those are the dog ears. (Also, those glasses are sadly far too big to be shinki glasses. I was very sad.)
>>5748422
Depends on the Shinki. My Mizuki Type 2 was WAY happier as a solo than when she had roomies.
Can someone post pics of parts used to give Strarf Mk2 her clawhands? I've got the FAP, isn't there supposed to be a part specifically for that? But there's a million pieces in here, I have no clue which one I'm supposed to be using.
>>5748458
You're getting trolled with logical fallacies, it's not plasticizer; it's release agent. All you need to do is wash it away with dish soap and warm water and making sure to not leave any moisture on the screws and rivets.
>>5748926
I don't have the FAP myself but I think they're squarish at one end (where they connect to the arms) with big chunky round wrists at the other. They go with the replacement arm pieces that can be used to carry the smaller swords in the heavily armoured mode. If you can't find them, you can use the round male-male connector with the pegs on the sides, and if you want it is possible to slot the arm guards onto them to make them look more presentable.
>>5748926
Here's one assembly I found.
>>5748937
>>5748940
It's for Lavina, but since she's a Strarf Mk2, it should work.
>>5748937
Which tray is that middle round piece from? Or is it from the little runner? Was trying to avoid having to cut those out.
>>5748935
>If you can't find them, you can use the round male-male connector
But I need a female connector to attach to her upper arm? Unless I'm doing this whole thing wrong
>>5748929
I've washed my Zyrdarya repeatedly, and every summer she sweats and her petals gets sticky again. Plasticizer leeching is a real thing man.
>>5749002
Washing it away is pretty real too.

Washing it away is a temporary fix. Like soaking yellowed piece in peroxide.
>>5749111
It is unfortunate there is no permanent fix.
>>5748539
I've seen Benio and the knight type shinki going for relatively cheap on a few sites. Are they just not popular or are a lot floating around?
