Tounian, I'm glad that there's a fellow sculptor out there that understands the work that goes into this. The pictures don't do it justice. It's really beautiful when you see it in person. It really captures Usagi in my opinion and he even looks cooler now with his hat on.

I understand fully, my friend. You're making me want to pick the shapers back up and start sculpting again. I meant it when I said your work is amazing. I've never been so excited about a prototype as I am with these.

How do you plan on casting them? My first job at SOTA was mold maker, so I know all the ins and outs of silicon mold making and resin casting, if you'd like to talk about that as a possibility. Send me a message on it, if you'd like.

And man, that Usagi with the armor is unebelievable. I HAVE to have that one... Not that I wouldn't have to have them all, but ya know, armored Usagi has a place in my heart...

As much as I love your Usagi, work, I am sure all of your other work must be just as good, too!

Zato-Ino looks awesome. Such detailing--there's even the stubbles on his face. Is the sword cane made of real wood? If it is, I'm even more impressed.
