Contemplative Misako from "And If That don't Work"

[J. St.C. Patrick]

In Sunshine's And if That Don't Work poor party girl Misato Katsuragi isn't allowed to drink that much in her new life as Misako Ayanami.

Lighting up a cigarette, Akagi nodded. She blew out a plume of smoke.

"Those things will kill you," Misako warned.

"I can always go into a fresh new body," Ritsuko smirked.

"So you can wreck your lungs but I can't spoil my liver?"

"I was joking," Ritsuko deadpanned. "Besides, I let you have that tequila. You're being very good." She explained as she handed a large packet of new pill bottles over to Misako.

"At least you didn't pat my head, call me 'good clone', and give me a treat." Misako gave a cold glare

Here she is contemplating her lone beer.

Awww

Its not fair. And where in the world did that design come from? Its not a posture I've really seen anywhere else in figurines.

[J. St.C. Patrick]

The figurine design seems to have come from this chapter header from book 2 of the Viz publication



The body of the figure came from this gashapon set ( though I did not get the figure from the gashapon dispenser in that mall - I got it from an anime merchandise store in the other mall the one that had the candy shop that had the other gashapon dispenser - the one with the Haruhi figures - that mysteriously closed up ( the candy store not the anime store))



Close up



This is what the figure looks like with its proper head.





Does that help explain things?

Oh, yes, the Rei head came from an eintirely different Rei (ie not from the gashapon set above) also bought in the anime shop.

I was actually wondering more like who made the mold because that form is not exactly easy to cast. Then again I don't know where it divides into other parts.

[J. St.C. Patrick]

Here you go - Misato gone to pieces.

Her legs and shots are one piece while her shirt and shoulders are two pieces ( I couldn't get them apart)
The beer can is also a seperate piece - glued to her hand.

[Spokavriel]

That explains it. But I do know someone who could and would make a mold that would let it be 1 piece. It was just difficult to visualize.
