Arnval and Strarf Mk 2

[Aefils]

ok, id use quotes here but it'd be to much so here goes: the breast do sag more but as i learned with my mms3rd nakeds, simply at good paint job(im makeing customs) can make them look higher, and the smaller chest will look flat(or really small) if you dont arch her back so they stick out, but this is not true in all cases.

Arching the back often tends to show the inside middle joint.

oh, i meant like arch it but not to far, just enough to give a little definition, like a shadow under them, based on how much you want there to look like there is, or buy an mms3rd naked and use the larger chest from that if it realy annoys you,

If I wasn't so tight on money, I would have gotten the mk.IIs already. ;-;

An observation on Strarf Mk2...
Is it just me or, If you get rid of the headband and twintails, does she look just like Major Kusanagi?

with some paint she is pretty close, both are cyborgs, kinda, so i wouldnt argue against the similarities

Y'know, nothing big. It'll probably just sit in my closet, unopened, collecting dust...

Of course I am! I'm a huge Strarf fanboy, and I've been driving myself insane with anticipation for these two.

They shall live on my desk, as close to me as possible, until such time as I can work them into my comic :p

So, now that I've had them here for a while, I'd like to share some observations...

-Reused parts: You may have noticed that Arnval's arms and legs get replaced with entirely mechanical parts for her armored mode. Well, Strarf has those arm and leg parts! The arm parts are pretty easy to find; they hold on to the curved blades on Strarf's back or arms (depending on configuration). The leg parts are actually her armor's arms. Strarf includes an extra set of feet and ankle connectors so that the sisters can have near-identical "light armor" configurations.

-Alt modes: Arnval can take on her "light armor" configuration when her armor is busy being that little jet thing. Strarf cannot. The "leg parts" for the light armor get factored in to Strarf's jet. She can still use her arms, however

-OMG HAIR!: Arnval be stylin', yo. She comes with three hair backs: One for short hair, one with a hole for long options, and one with Angel bits for her armored form. Also, it's fitting that the instructions suggest the single ponytail for short-range mode, because it could easily slice someone's head off!

-Killing things: Arnval and Strarf have both always been walking/flying armories, and that carries on here. But now, there's a clear winner... Strarf always struck me as the close-ranged type. Classic Strarf comes with lots of pointy things and a couple of guns. Strarf Mk. 2 also comes with lots of pointy things and a couple of (chain-)guns. Classic Arnval comes with lots of guns and a pair of beam sabers. Here's where the balance gets thrown completely out the window: Arnval Mk. 2 comes with an array of guns... and just as many beam sabers. Beam sabers of varying lengths and shapes... Not to mention the remote bits. Arnval Mk. 2 clearly has Strarf Mk. 2 both out-gunned and out-sworded. That said, Strarf Mk. 2's armor feels more solid both on Strarf and in alt mode...
