390. SUKEBAN DEKA YUI (based on Sukeban Deka III: Ninja Girl Romance TV Series main character "Yui Kazama")
The Cabinet
Origin: Japan
'NAM 19XX
AKA: Asamiya Saki

Sukeban (Japanese delinquent girls) culture was popular in Japanese media during the 70s-80s, & has had revivals in mainstream & V-Cinema in more recent years. The most well known & popular has been the Sukeban Deka series based on the classic manga. There has been several Sukeban Deka series over the years in Japan, the first 3 TV series, 3 Live-Action Films, anime OVA series, & even softcore parodies! My favorite Sukeban Deka is the 3rd TV series, as I really like idol Yui Asaka as Yui Kazama, a spunky delinquent who's part sukeban schoolgirl & part ninja. She's a real cutie. I really wanted to homage her within my MTF Universe. It took some time to put this one together due to some parts allocation, as I needed a long skirt (thanks AVAC'S!) & a particular short hairstyle on a custom kawaii head, (thanks ebay!), the rest of her is Boss Fight, except for her trademark yo-yo, that opens to show her police badge, here I cleverly used a DNL badge to show what the yo-yo would look like when it is opened & the badge revealed when she arrests her targets. This one proved to be one of my most challenging builds to date, due to the neck modifying involved to get it all to work out. ;-)

BIO: YUI KAZAMA, a country girl from Kyushu Japan who was recruited by the Dark Director for "The Cabinet" organization & given the role of the third Delinquent Detective, code named: "Asamiya Saki." YUI has been sent to a private school in Vietnam as an exchange student to investigate the rumors of the Crimson Moon organization trying to recruit high schoolers for routine educational data from lab testing/experiments in promise for pay. When in fact, Crimson Moon are actually testing new mind control options on the students to try & convince their applicants to join the Crimson Moon organization & spread propaganda to civilians. Armed with her yo-yo badge, YUI is on the case!

WAVE 78
386. SCARLETT (based on G.I. Joe ARAH '82 Scarlett)
G.I. JOE
Origin: USA
'NAM 19XX

As mentioned many times within this thread, one of my most favorite Joes is Scarlett. I've done quite a few homages to her more obscure looks over the years. When MGR offered a "Geared-Up" version some time back, I knew that the essential body parts were there for a "niced priced OG," & that I could add my own flare & changes from their offering to make my own re-imagining of the classic 1982 Scarlett. After re-outfitting her add-ons & gear, I also took advantage of Spartan 118 Classified head shrinks, & got this beautifully painted custom head for her, really making her feel premium upon my shelf. Like my recent Leatherneck, Lift-Ticket, & Roadblock, I consider this one another of my MTF Universe "Ultimates," by recreating & updating an essential (& personal favorite) character in their most iconic look.

BIO: Scarlett's father and three brothers were martial arts instructors. She began her training at age 9 and was awarded her first black belt at age 15. She eventually enlisted in the Army, served in war efforts across the globe, & underwent all sorts of special training (Ranger School, Covert-Ops at Langley, Marine Sniping at Quantico, SASR exchange, ROK Marine Tae Kwan Do symposium & more), finally settling on intelligence work. She stands as the only member of the G.I. Joe Team who has duties that are kept completely confidential from the rest of the team. Despite all her deadly skills & serious work, she still manages to have a sense of humor. Now she has been put in charge as one of the head of covert & intelligence operations in the rescue concerning the captured off-the-books 4-Man-Team going by the code name "Marauder Task Force." GUNG-HO, WILD BILL, ROADBLOCK, & LEATHERNECK have all been captured by Crimson Moon in Vietnam, trying to complete their own reckless rescue of former military team members once thought MIA, now rumored to be POWS, & SCARLETT needs G.I. Joe to get them all out alive!

That is a wonderful looking Scarlett. The personality within the headsculpt is a great addition but the configuration of gear and color is something special. She looks combat-effective and like a legendary Joe.
