Re: Jinroh Kerberos Saga Protect Gear in CG
Master Monkey, no worries! I completely understand! I'll look into getting it myself over the next month or so. Thank you anyway!
Those customs look great!

Re: Jinroh Kerberos Saga Protect Gear in CG
Need some help with the Articulation here. Just got Toribe, but...
My Arms having problem bending due to the thick leather wrap, just wondering do you guys have the wrap up till the bending part or just below as that piece keeps the arm from holding in bending position.
The feet articulation seems limited as it's abit too close to the foot, do i need to make it further up?
Lastly I bought a metal MG-34 for him but the gun seems too heavy, is there no Kerberos that can handle a metal gun?
I wonder why Midori has better articulation... the blank head's not that tight fit compared to face head.
Also my Mauser holster cover seems not able to secure itself in close position, pretty loose.

The leather gauntlets I have just below the elbows.
Sorry, I'm not 100% sure what you meant about your feet issue, I'm sure it's not a big problem as I have no issues with my feet poseability.
I don't know how heavy your MG34 is, but sounds like it's too heavy? There are lots of nice MG34s out there that are made of plastic. I don't have an issue with arms being too loose on any of my Takara GenX Core figures.
Be careful with those Mauser holsters, the glue isn't very strong. I had to reglue mine as the cover on mine actually fell off from the hinge.

Re: Jinroh Kerberos Saga Protect Gear in CG
I don't know if this is the right thread but after seeing all your amazing shots I had to get myself a Midori Washio, So guess what? Now I am hooked and need another So in your opinion is the Dragon version any good?? I have the chance of one for a good price but would like your thoughts, has anyone got a picture of one?
Thanks in advance, here she is, my latest bad girl:

Re: Jinroh Kerberos Saga Protect Gear in CG
Here are some old pics of my Dragon version I took a long time ago, this is the light up eyes version. I did a body swap with a Hot Toys TrueType and later I also changed the tube to a spring. I also had to find boots and gloved hands to match the Hot Toy's body, but it was worth it in the end.
Trooper, do feel free to ask me any questions about the figure and I'll get bcak to you.

Re: Jinroh Kerberos Saga Protect Gear in CG
Thanks Kaido, I love the fact that I can ask a question before going to bed and in the morning 9 times out of ten you have answered it.
I had the same thought about the Dragon figure to replace it with a Truetype, I want one more to accompany her but the subject matter is out of my collecting spectrum and for the first time in a long time I feel a little lost. I hear the Takara version is the best, I have seen the medicom one but something about it just does not sit right?? I guess what I am asking is although the Dragon one needs 'tweaking' is it a good figure to have? or do you think I should hunt for the Takara version, Oh the pressure
Thanks for your help Kaido!

Re: Jinroh Kerberos Saga Protect Gear in CG
I have problem with HT Truetype body using it's hand pig not able to secure properly when put in certain direction, had to use blutac to fix it.
Dragon IMO is the best version, the armor and suit might not be as detailed & good as the Takara, which utilizes lots of leather fabric, but it looks the best when standing. Medicom Jin Roh version is also pretty screen accurate. The Medicom Kerberos may have accurate armor but somehow the face doesn't look as good as jin-roh, dragon & Takara.
You can get the Takara pretty cheap nowadays. Dragon version is pretty pricey if you happen to come across a good deal get it.

Re: Jinroh Kerberos Saga Protect Gear in CG
You're welcome, Trooper!
My thoughts are that the Takara one is the best one to get, especially if you're complementing with Midori Washio. There are three different ones and they're all the same except for head sculpt. Pros about the Takara one is that it looks awesome, the gear is great, and the figure body is fantastic in terms of poseability and sturdiness. You do have to look out as some parts are pretty delicate (the holster) and also look out that the cloth mask can dye your figure's face causing smudge that will be difficult to remove. Tip is to wrap sandwich wrap around the head before putting on the mask.
I don't really recommend the Medicom figures, I have the Jin Roh one.
