A thing a week 2025, week 15

Four more right up the gut this week which should be the plan for the next several weeks. It feels nice to make consistent progress in the chosen goal even though I'm not putting up big numbers this year.

First up we have Shael Han Celestial Tricksters from Wrath of Kings flanking our pal Kogo, Male Kitsune from Reaper Bones. I have dupes of all of these guys so you should expect to see them again and in fact, we've already seen Kogo way back in week 27 of 2020 which seems like an age ago. I have no idea what's going on with the dude on the left's back though I do like his desaturated color scheme which really shows off his orangey fur. I think this Kogo also looks sharp in the black, green and red though I wish I'd picked out his armor texture a little better. Also of note, his eyes aren't quite as crazy in person. Both of the tricksters had some really lousy mold issues that I mostly covered up but the guy on the right really suffered from them over details. Like Damaris from last week, he's also got a thing for buckles which I find very sus.

And rounding out this week is a great sculpt let down by a lousy mold that I nonetheless put a bunch of time into. If she looks familiar, it's because we saw her recently in week 52 of last year. Kassandra of the Blade is a good sculpt let down by soft bones white plastic. I don't recall if I have a metal version of her but if I don't, I should. I spent a lot of time on this version because, well, I wanted to, despite mold line issues. I had a plan this time (primary color scheme) and did a lot of extra work cleaning up details that I might have otherwise ignored. I think this one came out well and I'm happy to put her with the other high quality figs I've done so far this year as #8. Between the two, I think this one's cloak isn't as nice but her face is much better. I also like that her scarf is so much better delineated though I really have to do the magenta/aqua/orange combo again. 

2025 finished mini counter: 60, high quality 8/12, 2025 specific figs remaining: 80
