It's been a long time since I last posted any customs, and I've recently got myself a new camera phone, so here's a set of 2 quick customs. These started as HG Soryumaru and SH Figuart Tamashii Girl Aoi. One look at Aoi I knew I just had to make this custom. Chromia was an afterthought, but she works quite well. Heads from Titan Returns Windblade/ Siege Chromia. Turns out Chromia's face looks better with painted eyes. The Soryumaru kit initially was intended as a side kit, the rear wheel of the bike mode was from the SHF set(he came with the sword-rifle which i repainted and gave to WB instead), so I came up with a fan jetmode which turns out great. The only issue with this custom is that Aoi was made mostly of those rubbery soft plastic usually found on Revoltech/SHF, so the paint on the thighs/arms tend to rub off quite easily. Backpack removable, which also allows me to reused some old generations WB kibble for her classic look. Works great with Titan Returns wings. Anyone finds that the only thing Hastask needs to fix about their kibbly fembots is just to scale up the main body just a tad bit instead of making removable shells(ahemEarthriseArceecough)? Giving her the Sword-rifle turned out fantastic! I could totally see her as a sky sniper! "Jetmode" using the SHF backpack. Looks kinda like a racing drone? Retains the original HG x SHF gimmick which is a combined bike mode. There's also an alternate version where the SHF is supposed to poke her head out and be the rider. Looks kinda stupid haha The City Speaker and her bodyguard. In case you're wondering, yes, the bike's rear wheel is an oversized Shamisen-Cannon XD Thanks for looking!
Man I have no idea what the original toy even is, but it looked cool after seeing Bluefin advertise it so much, so I'm glad you could do something so cool with it!
This is just amazing A fricking triplechanging Chromia that also combines with Windblade in alt mode...? This duo could as well be customized into Dropkick and Shatter. How much partsforming is needed to transform them? Especially for Soryumaru.
You are a genius. That is genius. I am jealously angry. But in all seriousness, VERY insightful custom!
Thanks for the comments! For Soryumaru alone, partsforming is only the frontwheel-shield and the sword-rifle. Rear wheel comes from Aoi, so that too. Basically the all weapons (Shield, Sword-rifle, Shamisen-Cannon) are the only parts that detach/attach during transformation. Everything else is 100% transformer , though Soryumaru armor parts tends to fall when transforming due to it being a model kit and Aoi is just a shellformer due to it being a SHF, haha.
I like this a lot more than the original kit offering. Take it the individual figures partsform? Base body for Windblade is still that Aoi One too right? Just looks better with the bot head and paint.
Too much effort for me lol. But it's the same transformation as the original, so this official video should give you the idea of how it works
