Kotobukiya’s Xecty PVC from Shining Wind went on sale recently, and there has been some curiosity regarding her castoff potential. I’m sad to report that like Clalaclan before her Xecty is more a tease job than anything – her shirt is removable, but there’s nothing of interest to be found underneath. This is expressed most eloquently by the following image, mined from 2chan’s mokeiura board:

The silver lining here is that she’s ripe for modification by capable hands, but you need the time, tools and skill to really do justice to a job like that… As I said in a reply to this post I wish figure makers would stop teasing us and decide for good whether a given figure was to be cast off or not, though I suppose this halfway approach does have its merits as well.
Ah that sucks, I had mine on the way. How I wish they had the cast off made default. Anyway, the figurine itself is still kawaii ^^
LOL 4koma..
Sad that P-A has pushed her to Jan08 ;__; My Clalaclan will be lonely for a while
Don’t care either way personally, as long as the figure looks good. ^^
LMAO!!
Yeah…gotta agree that if they are going to be “potential castoffable” then make them castoffable dammit!!
Jeez…….
Hahaha funny 4koma :D
We need a nipple addon tutorial for this kind of forced cast off possibilities.
>> AOJ
Actually, a pair of nipples is easy to make. Grab some epoxy putty, roll 2 approximately equal sized balls (the size which you desire), grab any tool with a round hole (a ruler with a round hole at the end works very well; again, the size of the hole determines the size of the nipples), and press the round hole gently against the ball. A round shaped nipple will start to form. NOTE: rub some vasaline on the side of the ruler/tool which you intend to press against the putty ball to prevent sticking.
(p.s. I know all these sounds a bit naughty and erotic. But it’s the best I can do with only words…)
