The melted base is pretty terrible and really an eye sore. I really don’t like white square bases. A square base for such a dynamic figure really doesn’t give it much justice.

I spent the whole afternoon figuring how to make another stand but could not figure out how to make a proper connector. Finally gave up and decided to pry out the connector.

The connector could not be pried out so I opted for a more direct solution.

Connector was out at last.

I originally intended to use this reflective cheese grater looking base for the replacement but there were quite a number of issues with connection the sawed off foot connector to it that I had to scrape the idea. Would really loved to have used this reflective base for Narika.

Decided to use a transparent 2 layered plastic holder as the new base. Cut up the beautiful box to give the stand some color.

With the help of comrade Superglue I manage to file the sawed connector flat and glued it to the base of the transparent holder. I know some people will have doubts of the strength of my superglue, but my Shellys superglue is very very very powerful. Glad that my first Ojou-sama came with a broken twintail which made me hop down to the Fix-it shop to purchase the superglue. Not every accident is bad!

This was the reason why I cut up the beautiful box. I always wanted to have little cards which stated the name of the figure when I put them in my cabinet. Guess Narika is the first! ^^

If you did not know how the original base looked like, will you be able to tell the difference?

Might want to install a mini light bulb underneath the base since it’s transparent. And now that I look through the pictures, The new Narika looks like a trophy!

Pretty happy how this problem was solved! Narika is so darn pretty ^^

At first glance you’d notice the delicious twins that endow Narika. I’m referring to the awesome pink twin-tails of course. Well sculpted, something you’d expect from Alter. The sleeveless attire with the long gloves is much win for me as well.

Her combat attire comes with all sorts of bling blings attached to it, giving her a very mecha feel. Of course Alter does a great job on the little details everywhere.

Also, notice the pretty red and white scarf around her neck. Reminds you of a certain bounty hunter doesn’t it?

When her huge weapon isn’t attached, you can see her gorgeous bare back with a sexy ribbon. No, pulling the ribbon does not do anything sadly.

Our babe looks like this without anything attached.

You have to attach the bad-ass blade and pretty ribbon to her to complete the intended look.

The blade and ribbons are incredibly detailed.

Note: Water droplets are not part of the figure.
They were gotten from posing Narika in front of a mini waterfall.

I am not a fan of figures with massive eyes. I prefer them proportionate or DFC. As you can see, Narika’s tight fit attire is sculpted very well that you can see the “tightness” and the pupils of her eyes. Very nice indeed :3

She comes with a square base which is pretty uninspired considering how awesome the figure looks. Although I don’t like the base the damage which occurred to it was purely accidental. What damage you ask? You’ll find out soon enough.

Awesome lighting won’t you agree?

Unfortunately placing Narika on the lighting caused the base to melt because the lighting was so hot ^^.

As darkness falls, more lights start to appear and it made pretty bokehs.

This has to be my favourite shot of the day.

Nice base!

Narika is an awesome figure. I can’t describe how delicious she looks with the red and pink combination and bad-ass weaponry. Alter really lives up to it’s name in making such great figure and I really had a great time photographing her. She looks great in every angle and is certainly a figure worth getting. I’m sure this babe is on par with the upcoming Saber Lily and Black Rock Shooter in terms of quality! Get yours today!

As for my damaged base, I’ll probably make a new base for Narika in another DIY project. Probably do some additional supports incase she decides to warp. Not too sure if her 1 legged pose can survive the Singapore heat!
