Picspam: Flaming Assbird, Days 3 - 5
Last time, on picspam!
So Day 3 was the day I decided to play around with the attachments. First up was the feet, the Condor attachments for the Rider Kick. The side view shows the detailing on the talons, which are nice and articulated too. Front view, which I promise looks better under good light and less flash reflection.
Pull off the foot to attach. And while I was looking at the feet, I decided to check the soles, and like the Ryuki and Knight Figuarts, emblem!
Talon attached, and a nice comparison shot of the talon and foot.
Remember how I said that the emblem on the chest was removable? There's a transparent red version, in pieces, for a power-up, I suppose. This is how it looks while getting attached and all put together.
Next, the TaJa Spinner, and this is where I have to put in warnings. It is a pain in the ass. Kind of. See, it's a little tricky to remove, if you're terrified of breaking anything. Then when you put it back on, like after putting in the Medals (only 6 shown there, since I forgot whether it was a Ptery or a Rexy as 7--Ptery), you REALLY have to make sure it's on tight so it doesn't come off and you lose all the Medals. Like I did. I did eventually find them all, and as a note, there ARE the markings for which comes first, second, and third, and it's a lot easier telling which Medal is which that way.
Day 4 consisted entirely of two things: Putting the Medals back in, and wrestling with the hands. This was not the nice hand system of the Orphnochs that I loved. No. These were Figuarts hands, which I think you probably know my feelings on. It took me the entire time to put the damn thing on, hurting myself quite a few times by missing and jabbing myself with those fucking hands. So I only got one picture. Ankh doesn't appreciate what I go through.
Day 5, however, I was ready to put everything else together. After the hands, I anticipated problems with the wings, and that's basically what I got. They're bulky. It's hard to get them in place. You have to be careful.
I removed the port so the wing harness would fit in. The port was ALSO a pain in the ass to remove. All of my aggravation about Knight having a port that kept popping off his wrist to the point I had to super-glue it? Opposite problem here. I was very worried I'd break this port with how much I had to pull on it.
No pictures of the process of putting ON the wings and getting the harness hooked into the Tamashii stand (which is absolutely necessary because those wings are HEAVY and it was hell trying to get everything together because it was about the same weight as the figure), because let's face it, it was several minutes of me swearing and muttering, "Giant flaming assbird," as I've said. But it all worked out in the end, and I have him up and posed. Second view, in case the first is a little blurry.
Funny story, though? His wings are so goddamn big that I have to rearrange my display. He's blocking everything. Right behind him is my Faiz set, so Blaster Form unfortunately has his gun against Lost Blaze's back. Oops. Well, if he falls off my display, I know who's to blame.
