Multi Karusugawa - To Heart (TSUKUDA HOBBY/WorldBox Hybrid)

[tasuke]

I've had this girl for a good while now, over ten years, IIRC.

Never was satisfied with her goofy, off-scale TSUKUDA HOBBY doll body,
and have only recently happened across a viable alternative
in the form of the 2023 WorldBox AT203 Aftermarket Doll Body.

Well... it seems that getting her a WorldBox opened a proverbial Can of Worms.

i've sanded, repainted, combed, brushed, primped and fussed over her head
until it reached a lever of sharpness i had previously thought unachievable.

Further, being that as a boy, long ago, i was a STAR WARS fan,
with a singular affinity for the "Scout Trooper" Imperial Stormtrooper Costume Variant,
i figured that the old HASBRO 2000/2003 12in. Action Figure costume
would surely look Charming on her.

Well... Boy, was i ever Right. She looks so... Overwhelmingly Adorable,
that i could, honestly... Practically Cry♥

Okay, dude, you've outdone yourself with this one! Your Kawaii Trooper is so adorably squee-inducing as to bring tears to the eye!

Brilliant work! The sum of your efforts far exceeds the quality of the individual figures and parts you used.

The Force was with you on this project!

(The way those tall bulky boots work with the slightly shorter body is just... adorbs!)

I Managed to greatly improve upon her cute little head.

i X-ACTOed her rough-looking original Ear-Antenna pod mounts away...
and replaced them with a much cleaner and more subtle-looking set,
made from, -of all things- a pair of Main Landing-Gear Wheels
from a 1/72 F-14 TOMCAT model kit (Hasegawa)
