    Fixing Popy Ultra 7

    This is a little project I've been noodling with for a while. I noticed that in Japan, you can always find damaged Popy Ultraman and Ultra 7 dolls, they're everywhere and nobody really wants them. The suit decay is so bad it's hard to find nice mint examples.

    So thanks to Sam and Aaron for the design work, Austin for the printing and the remarkable T for the sewing, I have my first suit. A few tweaks here and there and I'll have an army of Ultra 7 soon.

    Aaron did a great job tweaking this suit last week, so the revised version should be more in line with the original.

    Hard to tell from the pic, maybe we should lighten up the gray?

          I can sew this as tight as you'd like
          I didn't have an exact body to fit it to

                Nice! Cool to see any iteration of Ultra Man in MEGO format!
                sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.
