Re: Adventure Kartel - Little Shadow
Cherry and Sanakhte Zombot came today. Packaging was nice as usual. My Zombot had an extremely floppy waist joint which I was able to fix successfully thanks to tips from board member Beast X. He's identical to the regular zombs other than the colour of the jumpsuit (white) and his head.
As for Cherry, great figure, but I scratched the paint on her legs despite warning from Alice Adrenochrome. It's pretty terrible, I hope I can fix it later, the trouble will be to find the right skin tone. Learn from my tragedy: the layer of paint on her legs is ultra thin. Be very careful not to rub anything sharp or hard on them (like her jacket zipper, in my case!). Her underwears are ripping as well! My wife already said she isn't going to repair it for me...

Re: Adventure Kartel - Little Shadow
Just for fun, I googled the Zombot's name:
"Sanakhte was the first pharaoh of the Third Dynasty of Ancient Egypt (ruled 2686-2668BC).
Also known as Nebka, Sanakhte's name means 'strong protection'."

Re: Adventure Kartel - Little Shadow
I was able to repaint Cherry Shadow completely. I found a shade of flesh tone that was similar (not 100% exact, but close enough) and painted the entire figure neck to toe. I laid on about 3 coats. I also painted the skin tone on the wrists that show on her gloves.
For fun, I painted her kicks red too. Goodbye resale value, lolz.
My wife did resew her underpants for me in the end too.
My Sanakhte had a super loose chest joint and I repaired him too.
I love this pair.
I will post some pics later.

Re: Adventure Kartel - Little Shadow
Yeah, I know. It was a pain. But the scratches on Cherry's legs, I couldn't leave it as it was, it was horrible. Wish I took some 'before' shots to show how bad it was. It had to be fixed and I'm normally no customizer, but I was really pleased how well everything turned out in the end with Cherry.

Re: Adventure Kartel - Little Shadow
I'm happy for you Kaido! They are great, aren't they. I'm very impressed that you went through all that trouble to fix the flaws. Wonder about sanakhte's loose waist. You bought the set from ebay? Thx for the info on the name btw. It makes a lot of sense, with him being Cherry's bodyguard.
If you find the time, post some pictures please.

I did get mine...but but...things happened & I wasn't very happy with it.
While changing feet, I broke the left sneaker joint & the right high heel joint.
The joints are just too tight n I guess I was a little too excited.
I havent got around to fixing it as part of the joint is still stuck at socket and is kind of a pain to take them out.
That said, I do like the figure but the lack of poseability with the body that they use is a big let down for me.....n the ultra tight joints took out all the fun for me.
And man......I finally get to experience the 3A toys smell.
