Man, she turned out great... and she comes with extra parts for Krillin!

That is beyond awesome. I already planned on buying her to go with my Figuarts Krillin, and now there's just more icing on the cake. These things truly are worth higher price tag.

The stripes on her shirt should not have been sculpted. It makes no sense. They're supposed to be printed (if it was a real shirt), and therefore painted on a toy.

Awesome. I was just looking at that Nappa proto they put out and was thinking they need a new release soon. June/July isn't soon, but at least we got something in the pipeline.

I'm used to that, because it seems like sculpting pinstripes is the go-to method for putting them on toys these days. DCC even did it for Black Mask's suit.

Plus I'm not sure I would want them painted on, because I can't imagine that they would be painted straight and clean without any smudges or bleeds. That's just how I look at it, anyway.

There's always the option of putting a black wash on the arms, too. It'd collect in the sculpted lines and look great once dry, I think.
