Hi. Its Yui again.
Thanks all for supporting my last post for Nendoroid Mio & Yui Don't Say Lazy version m(_)m.
Let me share with you all my figma mods that I have done for a while, hope you will like them XD.

みなさんこんにちは。Yuiです。
私のねんどろいど 澪と唯 Don't Say Lazy ver. をご覧頂きましたが。
これからはわたしが改造したfigmaを紹介します。
もうご覧になった方がいるかもしれないですが、figma blogにも載っていただいたものもあります。
気に入ってもらえたら幸いです m(_)m

Mouseover = load notes.
My figma mods

This is my very first figma mod - Lacus Clyne - which is built from Figma Hatsune Miku, with the cloth and head of Gundam Seed Heroine's Lacus.

Mouseover = load notes.
My figma mods

The most difficult part of building this mod was.....by that time there were no figma with short sleeves released.....orz...I have to craft the arms of miku to this shape...

Mouseover = load notes.
My figma mods

I also "recycled" the remaining part of Miku's sleeve to build the boot...

Mouseover = load notes.
My figma mods

and also coloured all hands part and take this photo - pretend to be a real figma product XD XD

Mouseover = load notes.
My figma mods

My second figma mod was a little modification of figma Shana.

Mouseover = load notes.
My figma mods

At first I am not quite used to the hair of figma shana.....so I decided to add an ahoge (アホ毛) on her head to made her looks like more close to those illustration that I have seen....The ahoge came from Konami's figurmate Shana.

Mouseover = load notes.
My figma mods

and also added a thin copper strap for Alastor (天壌の劫火) XD

Mouseover = load notes.
My figma mods

After Black hair version of figma Shana released, I did a same treatment on her.

Mouseover = load notes.
My figma mods

I also changed her uniform to summer version by using Seto San's (瀬戸 燦 from 瀬戸の花嫁) arm.

Mouseover = load notes.
My figma mods

both red and black version are inter-changable :P

Mouseover = load notes.
My figma mods

This is my latest pieces of mod - Saber and Rin Yukata Version. It is too difficult to use soft plastic sheets to make cloths, so I grap some japanese style cloth to make their Yukata.

Mouseover = load notes.
My figma mods

And this is a photo for gsc Wonderful Hobby Life for you 10. Thanks for reading and hope I could make more figma mods to share with you all.

    Dude, very nice. You are the inspiration that got me started in figma modding over a year ago. I've copied your process of making a figma Lacus and it's the best way to make that figma. Many thanks for inspiring a figma fan like me to have more fun with these figures.:)

    I -ESPECIALLY- like your Lacus mod. I didn't realize those Seed Heroine gashapons could be modded that way.

    Those were just awesome. The detail and the thought that went into the planning of what to do, how to do it and to use it. Thinking of what can be improved and the physical skill into crafting the pieces is superb.

    Artistry, is real difficult thing to master, but in hard thought and skill, a person can take something of another to make it their own. That is why I think your work is of a high caliber.

    I thought it was really well done! I've seen the Lacus figma before and I thought "WHOA that was great!

    I was wondering where you got the smiling Rin face for the one with the kimonos. I have a Rin figma myself but I know she doesn't have a smiling face.

    Lovely photos too btw!
