Comments Custom base for Super Sonico

Rajke • 5 years ago • #25880164Great result. Sonico looks so much better with your custom mirror base. First thing i noticed when i see both pictures next to each other with the old and new base is that the shoes are looking better with the mirror. Also the idea for using a mirror with this Sonico figure is brilliant. I think not every figure can have the mirror underneath it but it suits her well. Good job.

Thank you! I thought her shy look was perfect for a mirror base.

Ose_93 • 5 years ago • #25872137I know sometimes companies change a few things from the prototype or the quality diminished during mass production (*cough* Bandai *cough*) but goodness this change is crazy for how much that figure was. I don't own anything from Pulchra and don't think I want to start. ^^'
The base looks so much better now. I honestly don't even know how they thought the original base was a good idea. It looks like the type of thing you would see on a prototype. And since it's so small it's no wonder you thought a bigger base would provide better support.
I'm tempted to add a mirror under ITEM #293234 now. I don't know that I would be able to make a base as you did because of the cross. But the base is clear so it may work out alright.

Because Pulchra is so hit and miss, I only preorder things from them that I really want.

I think you could make a mirror base for that figure. Either you have to replicate the shape of the peg for the cross in the mirror base, or cut the peg off it, then perhaps drilling into the base of the cross and putting a couple of metal rods in. I believe they would be sufficient for it.

I actually really love the cross design though. I almost bought that figure solely for the base. ^^'

MindySue • 5 years ago • #25844511Cute! Omg, she looks so good, it's like that base belongs with her.

Thank you! She came out looking better than I imagined. ^^

Zestorm • 5 years ago • #25837998Interesting custom! Just one question : is this figure cast off or is it just an assembly gap around her breast?

She's not cast-off, there is just a small gap between her top and the breasts.
