2-15 (35) - Black Rock Weapon Master

I've been waiting to do this. Since Season 1, I've always wanted to make figma Black Rock Shooter a sort of weapon master, especially since she has an awesome katana. So I did some experimentation, starting with the BRS figmas.

A) Dead Master's Dead Scythe - A success. BRS has two weapon-wielding hand sets: a standard straight-up style (where the weapon is pointed straight up from the hand when wielded) and the pointed-outwards style (where wrist is placed downward so the weapon is held outward from the direction of the arm). The latter set of hands cannot move the wrist, making it perfect for posing with the Dead Scythe. I've mentioned this back in Season 1, but I LOVE posing with pole-arm weapons.

B) Black Gold Saw's King Saw - A failure. I tried, but the hilt was way to big. It was specifically designed for Black Gold Saw's giant bony hands, but I've yet to try it on Dead Master's, who's hands are dainty but bigger than BRS'.

C) Strength's (left) Ogre Arm - A FUCKING SUCCESS. This was the coolest part of the experiment, and the fact that it successfully held up Black Rock Shooter's signature Rock Cannon without the use of a second stand made me VERY happy. So happy, it's not my wallpaper. =D

I did cheat and gave BRS her stand, though. Mostly because she wouldn't stay up. But I never use stands in the comic unless the figures are actually using them instead of me using them. So it worked out. Think of it like a modelling for the stage.

God, I wanna use BRS' chains now…
