Preciously on the
blargI gotten my Ryu action figure an Obitsu and things just exploded from there. Three years later, Ryu is 75% doll on account of his Volks body (Big Chun, YR, Erisa and Zannah considered 75% action figure on account of the action figure bodies)
The Dolls are having more fun than my only pure blooded action figure as they have the one thing that she don't - GRIP HANDS!!!!!!!! (yeah, Medi-Chun is still earning her keep. I'm gonna see if i can send one of the extra hands down to size for her)
And its strange that the dolls are given the action figure treatment with weapons such as tonfa and Kali stick battle, nunchuck fun and running amok with a pair of sais (thats just April). And there's tree swinging and inflitration project. I'm short of one gun battle. On the whole when it comes to Obitsu vs Action figures. My Obitsu are sturdy little creatures earning their keep (I think someone earn herself a pair of boots. And there after it was just as easy to switch them to doing fan dances and guitar jams.
And its also insanely fun that I'm making clothes for them, at the moment 5 of them are wearing stuff I made. I can buy them clothes but some of them well be stuck in hand made clothes for months on end for reason beyond me. (Obi-Chun, Zannah and Helen in particular)
There's a chinese phrase -文武双全 (Wen wu shuang quan). which means being well verse in both Martial arts and civil arts.
Oh and as for Ryu. He has no complaints about being call a doll (especially if the dolls he knows are running around kicking random ass).
If Obitsu makes Amazonian bodies, it will be many levels of awesome
This is just 12inch dolls. I'm not gonna comment on the smaller scale folks because right now its very difficult to overtake the the dolls. And its not like they are removing the Street Fighter part of my hobby but reveling in the inane fun of it and throwing Wuxia into the mix. Geekdom. Me thinks I'm gonna be running amok in the general direction of Street Fighter and Wuxia for a season or two, especially now I found a pair of nunchucks.
