Miyori, (Pinky) Sakamoto is Kamiko's best friend and a squad leader in Kimono Troop. She and Kamiko became friends when Kamiko was attending high school in Japan at the insistence of her family. She is fiercely loyal to Kamiko and often acts as a bodyguard to her. She also severely dislikes Erika von Stroheim and frequently asks Kamiko for permission to kill her during parlays, though she does so in Japanese, which Erika does not understand. Originally built using an S24 body, I switched the YM Toys head sculpt over to an S30 suntan when I created Michiko, who being a teenager is smaller than stature.
Miyori speaks English with a heavy Japanese accent, and usually prefers to communicate in Japanese with Kamiko and Michiko. She is very closed to Michiko, whom she treats as a little sister. Michiko looks up to her enormously.

I am delighted to see Miyori back in action, fully outfitted for field operations... and finally assigned a body of her own that, I hope, she will no longer need to share!
Fantastic lighting and backgrounds. These really do look like outdoor photos in natural light. If I didn't know... I wouldn't know!

Miyori has had this body for a long time now, and has been back in action, though not seen a lot. I hope to rectify this in future stories.
the lighting is achieved using a single clip-on goose neck lamp from Ikea. It has a warm tone and I balanced the colour to give a sort of late afternnoon or very early morning look.

Captain Glynnis Penny Farthing, OBE. Glynnis is a Kimono Troop Deputy Commanding Officer and member of the Explorer's Leauge, an intelligence organization posing as a bunch of eccentric explorers. She is noted for her weapon of choice, an M1 Thompson SMG, and for wearing an Indian pattern sun helmet or "Sola Topi" instead of more contemporary headdress. She also appeared topless in the B Classic, "Volcano Virgins of Vunga-Vunga." She is a noted expert on facts and legends surrounding the Katanga Stash, and is even rumoured to have secretly located it with help from Commander Kamiko Takahara of K-Troop.

I haven't really had the time or inspiration to put together any new stories, but wanted to be productive and shoot photos over the past few days and so this seemed like a good idea.

Subject: Dr. Diablos Mon Jan 02, 2023 2:46 am
And now, just to keep Alex happy, Kimono Troop Command is pleased to present the Super Villain, Dr. Diablos, which as you all know, is a perpetuation of MiskatonicNick's creation.
Not much is known about Dr. Diablos, and information about him in the MI6, CIA, S.I.M.O.N. Files is conflicting and contradictory. Some say he is South American, probably of Argentine father and German mother. Other sources claim he is German and his name at birth was "Teufel," or "Teufels" and that he changed it after fleeing to Argentina after WWII. Sources do however agree that he is unnaturally old for a human--well over a hundred years old--and has survived multiple assassination attempts, the most recent by a rogue faction in British Intelligence, possibly ordered by Tiberius Tibias himself. He was also shot in the chest several times by Commander Takahara of K-Troop during a raid on his hideout on Diablos Island, but appears to have been wearing body armour beneath his leather coat.
It is also widely believed that he is a cyborg, having at least one, possible more cybernetic limbs, as well as visible cranial implants. He is believed to have devoted much of his life to the pursuit of reanimating the dead, and information gathered by Kimono Troop suggests he may have found a way. He is also believed to travel between continents using a highly modified type XXI U-Boat from the Second World War, which may have an alien power plant installed instead of the original diesel engines. Kimono Troop discovered a secret submarine pen at Diablos Island and it is believed that he made is getaway using the afore-mentioned submarine.
I haven't fully decided much about Hoshi or what her exact role will be in my collection, other than that she will be part of an all anime figure unit who, because they are anime figures, will all have Japanese names, despite not looking very Japanese. Influenced as I am by the anime series High School of the Dead, in which a group of high school students must find a way to survive as their school and city (and the world) is overrun by a zombie apocalypse, I might choose a similar theme. Then again, I might not. Stay tuned to find out more.

Love the window! Love the ominous shadow! Love your "Hoshi" character.
Is her name "Hoshi Minh?"
"Hoshi Kanyusee?"

Subject: Bambi von Braun Sat Jan 07, 2023 4:32 pm
Not much is known at this point about Bambi, at least by the good guys, though she is strongly suspected of being a genetically engineered super-soldier created by Dr. Lili von Neuville (Laura's evil sister Lilly) using DNA stolen or captured from the Genesis project. She appears to be a genetic duplicate of BAM HQ Agent Tabi, and was observed to execute a spy who had displeased Dr. von Neuville by cutting her throat with a bayonet. A soldier bearing a strong resemblance to her was shot and supposedly killed by Commander Takahara in during the Laura Rescue Mission, however the body seems to have disappeared before daylight, despite multiple gunshot wounds to the chest from Kamiko's M4 carbine. It is not known at present, how many more Bambi von Brauns might have been created. Commander Takahara and Commodore Bond-Fleming are of the opinion that Dr. Diablos and Dr. von Neuville use Bambi as a bodyguard and enforcer. Her preferred weapon appears to be the Mauser C96 pistol.

Bambi's uniform combined with a picturesque Mauser pistol makes for a dramatic appearance.
She even has a shoulder stock attachment for the Mauser! That's pretty cool!
I'm intrigued by the "round window" setting you've constructed. It is simple, but perhaps the minimalism enhances the intrigue factor. Is it a bunker? A submarine? A space station? A modernist upscale townhouse in Beverly Hills? A ventilation duct? All of the above and more, depending on the needs of the storyline?

More excellent shots Gary! Then again, it's always great to see new shots of the laies and various other characters from K-Troop! The shots of Bambi and Kamiko are superb! as is the windowed wall you've made. Top work indeed!

It's not a window, but a ventilation duct. Think of the film "Dr. No."

She's been dressing this way for some time now.

I guess the only real difference here is the crusher cap rather than an aviator cap. Also, her most recent appearances were in night scenes, so the colours and textures of the uniform and accessories were not as apparent as they are here.
