Thanks! Haha, once I saw they sent me the clear blue female blank and she had that head, I knew Zarana was joining the ranks. LMFAO! I did go through a bunch of parts trying to figure out what I had in my bin to give her at least some clothing on her bottom half without having to cover too much of the clear plastic.
Much appreciated! Haha. I would love to say jumping around from line to line, character to character, etc is planned....but it seems like planning completely stalls my progress so I?ll go in, piece some stuff together and then won?t pick up those parts for months. It?s why Cobra La still isn?t done, haha, they were next up after my Royal Guard and then it feels like I?ve done forty figures since then. I do have more Shadows Ninjas built......but we?ll see if they are next or if some other stuff jumps in line. Haha.

Really makes me rethink my spending habits.
Zarana looks great. I'm not familiar with that version of her (not the shadow one) but both customs look sharp. I'm really liking the shadow concept so far and of course the dio shots are always awesome.
Lmao, okay, I don?t use ?drying up? paint. Some bottles are like five years old now, the black used on the Zarana being one of my oldest bottles......and it probably cost me $0.79.....but I gave it a good shake before squirting it on my little paint caddy! Hahaha.
Thanks! Appreciate it! Super fun shots to take, especially since I?ve been watching a lot of cartoons with close quarters fighting recently. The Zarana this one was spinned off from and what my first custom is based off of is how she looked in the Get Tough cartoon. Have a few others I?m planning to make but this one was the easiest to accomplish with the parts currently available because she was just one Boss Fight figure with the accessories she came with painted.

So creative with a high degree of innovation, your Shadow Ninjas are quite distinct. The neon on translucent blue on Zarana look so good and gotta say the colors on Scarlett are spot on and just mesh so well together. BFS orange blank is definitely the way to go to start building on; love the military green MTF sheen guards on that look by the way. Really creative on your part.
Awesome work bro, can't wait to see more!
Thanks! Really fun group to build on, I always enjoy adding a few female members to each subgroup when I can since female Joe?s and Cobras were difficult to come by growing up. Really just had Ninja Force Scarlett and original Baroness until 25th anniversary. Now I own o ring Zarana and Jinx, still need Cover Girl & V1 Scarlett (come on Retro series!) but I at least have a few scattered around with my o ring figures now.
Hoping to keep the momentum! Feels good to be driving down the fodder pile again!

Thanks! Some of the parts used on this pair were ones I used for the first time so always feels good to get some use out of things that have been sitting in the fodder bins unused for a while.
As always, thanks again everyone for the comments and motivation! Very much appreciated!
