 Corrupted Metal Brain Well, I figured my set of good guy Brains would need someone to fight, so I finished their first enemy: The Corrupted Metal Brain.
Thanks go to Plover for giving me some helpful advice with metal leafing.

Actually, it wasn't too bad... the leafing is pretty durable stuff. It was a chore though... this thing took the better part of the weekend to get it looking right. The hard part is deciding when it's "finished"...

Very cool.
One would never guess that it had the light weight of a vinyl piece.

A cape would make it look like some kind of Lord of the Rings shit.

Do it up then. I guess you could always remove it if it doesn't look right.

There's be an element of illusion or surprise when one picked it up.
Assuming you let others touch or handle your figures.

Actually, this one was a black/white/red hard brain - the one that came with the plushie brain. I didn't think the foil would work well on a squishie brain, and I need the clear brains for my yellow and pink sentai brains.
ps. I still need more clear brains.

I was wondering when your supply might run out! You'll have to put in a "Hands Off!" request for anything that comes up on YJA.
