Figma Kagami

You are all in for quite the post today. Not only do you get to see Kagami cosplaying, as Nagato Yuki, but you also get to laugh at me for breaking my figma.

Its actually quite a sad story. I was carrying my figma and then one of her twin tails snapped. Its quite inevitable that one of my figmas broke, and I am just glad it wasn't a really important part like an arm or leg that broke. However, since I am a very proactive person, I decided to think about solutions.



It just snapped.



Kagami is quite distressed at her current predicament. How can she just have one twin tail???



Kagami is sad. I am going to help her though because I am a very resourceful and crafty person.



Scotch tape what else?



As good as new, no?









And there you go. Your dose of cosplay and a how to article all in one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Actually, I truly am thinking about better, more permanent solutions. I am thinking some kind of good glue would be the best idea. If anyone has any ideas please share them.

First Figure- Asakura Ryoko 1/8

I apologize for not posting in a few months. I have been quite busy with school. This Christmas I got a Max Factory Asakura Ryoko figure, a Nagato Yuki figma and a Hiiragi Kagami figma. I was free this afternoon so I decided to try a photoshoot. This is my first ever figure photoshoot, so please bear with me as the pictures are not amazing quality. I just used the natural light from my window to light the picutres, so maybe they are kind of dark. Actually, today I focused on pictures of Asakura-san with a few of Nagato. I didn't take any of Kagamin today because her left twin tail is in need of repair:(



For this, I used a 1/12 scale chair from my mom's old dollhouse. It fit Nagato perfectly.


Nagato is borrowing Kagamin's manga.



I think the blue color of my walls goes well with Asakura's hair color and uniform.





The floral background in this is actually just my jacket.



By now, you are probably wondering why I don't have and pictures of Asakura-san and her knife. Well, to be honest I am too nervous to try and take off her hand. The bag is kind of fragile and I am scared that I will break it if I try to take it out..



Another 1/12 scale doll house chair.
