Kimono Troop Command Random Photos.

It came that way.

I could have lived with it spanking clean or weathered. Both fit into my genre. This being said, weathered and dirty makes it fit in better to the Kimono Troop Universe.

I’m really loving the colour lighting in this picture.

What are you doing up so late?

Your Space Vixen is looking so cool! I look at her and think "1950s," then another glance and she looks late-1970s/early 1980s "Galactica" or "Buck Rogers," then the Buck Rogers idea has me noticing 1930s influences. It's a fantastically fun figure who embodies everything I loved about science fiction and outer space, back when The Future was going to be really, really cool!

Many things I'm seeing recently seem to be randomly sending me on a massive nostalgia trip. Or, more accurately, into a massive depressive spiral. I want to hit the reset button on my life, and do things differently the next time around.

Haven't figured out how to do that yet, so I'm reliving the past vicariously via AMMO, and your figs are a big part of that. Thanks for sharing the fun stuff you come up with!

The black boots are a major improvement over the initial set of footwear. In theory those first boots should have worked, but... I think you've found a better solution in the simple black boots.

Nice shot Gary! She really has come out nice!

Sorry Bud. There’s no “reset” or “do over” button. I’ve checked already.

"Alzheimers" is the answer. Every day is new!

Then you aren't trying hard enough.

Okay, to my eye the proportions are....odd. Very elongated.
Is this the anime figure you mentioned?
Does she stand a full 12"?
Can you use her with your more conventionally proportioned figures or will you build her own world?

Yes, it is the anime figure I mentioned


You can can judge her comparative height from the above photo.




While it is my intention to get other anime style figures and have them play in there own little universe, for the moment, I am using her with other figures in an humorous way.

She looks great Gary!

She looks like she could kick ass in them red high heels . Liking this kitbash.

Samurai Bikini Gas Pump Girls - I wonder if that concept has legs? (Obviously the figure has legs for days.)

Or would the concept require updating - with electric vehicle charging stations?

I like the cheery, colorful, evenly illuminated “comic strip” visual style in your photos.

Thanks for that info Gary! (Obviously I am unfamilar with all the types. I had thought anime characters all had those huge eyes!)
She seems to visually fit in quite well with the others, and is obviously shorter, thus giving more variation to the group, as in real life.

I am envious of your Jungle scene , it looks superb .

Nice boots!

Seriously... Kamiko's boots are epic!

...and getting them on and off probably even more so! 

It’s a job, but a lesser one than getting them on in the first place.

I've been wondering how your Tonka project worked out (if you posted it I somehow
missed it). Looks great.
