Diana Action

Well, since I just wrote about Spielban, I figured I don't have to go too far into how much I like it and Diana, who's one of my all-time favorite tokusatsu heroines. You can count on one hand the female characters who are allowed to do anything in a Metal Hero show, but Diana's the best of them. Tough, cool, funny, reliable, and she knows how to kick ass and do her own stunts. While Toei has a soft-spot for the Metal Heroes, Spielban's always lost in the mix. Even so, they most likely would never have done any kind of out of suit figure for Diana, like a Girls in Uniform. So, once again, I had to go custom...

Mermaid & Phoenix

A damned easy custom project. Like I've mentioned before, I was disappointed that the Girls in Uniform line petered out before hitting more characters. I once saw a Japanese fan do a simple head-swap to make his own Mai/Change Phoenix, since her Earth Defense Uniform is the same as Sayaka's. I thought it was a really cool idea, but they used Megumi/Blue Dolphin's head, which I didn't think it quite matched Mai. So, I used a different head that I think better resembles Mai for mine. I held off on posting this because I thought people would think it's lame to talk about a custom that's just a head-swap, but this is my blog and I want to do what I want to do. Anyway, it's nice to have both Lady Soldiers represented.
