    So, they made a Mio that had no Striker Units, and I wanted a version of her flying with the rest of the team.

    So, I popped Mio's body off burnt a hole in her back for the ball on Hattori's flight stand, had to shorten the neck peg some so the neck didn't look abnormally long since the peg touched the ball joint.

    Then I took the lower body from Hattori painted the tail black and the pants a darker blue, it was a pain because the hole in Mio's body was much bigger than the peg from Hattori's Striker Units so I had to glue it in.

    Then since I had a Hattori upper body and Mio legs and base left over I popped them together cut off Hattori's ears sanded and painted over the spots and made a normal version of her not using her powers.

    They fit together easily because Mio's post was much thicker than Hattori's hole in her body so once it was shoved in there it stayed easily.

    I still have to glue Hattori's ears onto Mio too then paint them black.

    I was wondering if anyone was ha.

    I got the Mio all done now, I had forgot to put the ears on Mio in flight mode with powers on, I had just cut them off Hattori the other night and put them in a baggy for some reason.

    I used plastic weld but it didn't really hold so I drilled 2 holes with my pic vise and shoved paper clips in there then drilled holes through the ears so that made them stay and the weld dry.

    Then I sanded down the extra paper clip sticking out and painted.

    Yeah apparently figma is making another yoshika and making their version of mio, but no one seems to want to make the 4 they haven't made yet.

    That's one reason I wanted these you can get all of them.

    Yeah her uniform buttons aren't similar to any others or any figure I know of.

    That's why I am glad these 2 wear pretty much the same pants and the tail and ears are similar.
