Arnval's new face :)

Just got arnval recently from amazon. :arnval: Prices for shinki have gone up way too high! I honestly don't think shinki's are worth over one hundred dollars... Anyways, Arnvals fave was so neutral and bland, thought she could at least use a smile...

I used decal stickers from the yui hirasawa figma. Also used clear nail polish to make sure it would stick on. Now she will forever be graced with a smiling, happy face instead of a bland, neutral one. :) Has anyone else ever tried with this with other, older shinki's?

The modules are not worth the pricetag for the most part. Even retail became- well.not reasonable. Once, they were 1000yen a pop.
i did, just say i am not reasonable, when i pick one up for 60plus is mere "want"with"can"and"whatever"

Your Arnval looks much better! i imagine most are afraid to mod more than anything : )

How much is 1000 yen exactly worth? I got merienda for $47, zilvern for $67 and recently arnval for 30 something. I like the light armours honestly. I would love to see more shinki mods. I like that arnval has an actual expression now, It feels like it has more personality.

...I'm not sure what's meant by "modules", but shinki have never been 1000y. The closest were EX Sets, which were 1700y and didn't include bodies.

edit:

On the topic of modding, I've got my Kit, as seen in my signature.

*nods*They were. 1000y something, once at AmiAmi. all of them. i recall it- did not know the store at the time , i hesitated .soon all were on backorder, this time 3000yen something something-

Then, each pair release escalated gradually to todays 5000.

1000JPY = 12USD today,yes?

By "module" i mean "set", or "unit".
what you payed seems to be today's ongoing rate for each mentioned type.

That was really just a one-time sale though. I don't think it actually counts, as awesome as it may be.
