Shou v2 is my 2nd male Takara doll total repaint (my first being a Raph that I'll never have pictures of). I love his articulated body (I'm an articulate body freak) but I didn't like his original eyepaint. Bleeeck! Talk about worse than Magic Knight Ray Earth!

I'm rather pleased with him. I planned him out like anything else I do and he followed through pretty closely. I wanted him to have a bishonen look but I definately wanted smaller eyes. I liked the fact that he was glancing to his right so I kept that idea.

I was a bit upset after I found out his bandanna stained... but it's nothing a bit of rubbing alcohol can't remove.

I also chopped his hair to give him little dog ears.

Now if I can just get him some custom clothes!
