... Make lemonade?

So, yeah... I broke my S.H. Figuarts Fujiko from Lupin III, joy...

I've been working on giving Karai from TMNT a better body then the lame action figure Playmates gave us which had crappy articulation. My first idea was getting a SHF Body Chan in black, I bought the deluxe version for cheap since deluxe black body chan/kun are bootlegs, but they come with the DX accessories like a sword, gun, tablet, phones and a laptop and a cool base.

The bootleg was okay, but her hands where too small and wrist joints awkward, you get what you pay I 'spouse. Then I wanted to check how Karai's head would look on a taller fire since Body Chan is a bit on the short side.

Cue neck snap as i tried to remove Fujiko's head. Damn... I really liked that figure too, even-though she was being a stand-in for April O'Neil on my Turtle shelf XD

Well, I guess Karai has a new body, although I don't know what I think about TMNT2012 Karai having a mile long cleavage XD and her legs are a bit waifish, but it'll do I guess, can always go back to the Body Chan when I can get a replacement joint for Fujiko's neck.
