– FIGURE IS NOT FOR SALE –<\/p>\n

\"Seohyun04\"<\/a>I’m a huge fan of Girls’ Generation no doubt. I’ve had the privilege to\u00a0attend two of their concerts and a number of live appearances at other K-pop events. It was always my hope that one day I could have a collection of 1\/6 scale figures based on the girls, but I figured I would have to get them commissioned which would mean a lot of money. One person isn’t so bad, but 9?<\/p>\n

My first reveal will be the youngest member – Seohyun. I think overall it came out great and it’s easy to tell that that it’s her. It’s taken me over 2 years to get these figures up to par and it required a lot of patience and perseverance. Just finding all of the heads and waiting for new ones were challenging enough, but to find the right body and outfits were equally challenging.<\/p>\n

\"Seohyun01\"<\/a>Head:<\/strong>
\nI’m using a Kumik\u00a0head but I must warn that this is the first generation version. The newer versions seem to have a slightly different and deeper paint job that don’t quite match the bodies I am using. Still, it’s pretty clear that the head sculpt is of Seohyun and is nicely done. The paint application is to my liking and is a case where less is more.<\/p>\n

Body:<\/strong>
\nI’m using a Play Toy Asian skin tone small bust body. It’s a very nice body, but the posterior is a little larger than I would like. It makes it very difficult to find fitting outfits. Play Toy is releasing a version 2 which is a bit better but I’m not sure if they’ll be releasing one in the lighter skin tone. Still, the figure has a decent range of articulation and contains those ankle ball sockets that are extremely valuable for custom figures.<\/p>\n

Outfit:<\/strong>
\nThis is the female baseball outfit from Super Duck, and sadly they cannot be found anymore. It seems only a small production run was made because no matter how hard I try, I cannot find more of these. This outfit is of course based on their ‘Oh!’ outfit in pink. It’s not my favorite Girls’ Generation look but it’s distinctive enough. Pink = Girls’ Generation.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
