Hello Everyone! I'm happy that all of you (except for 3 people) have enjoyed the video and my little rant (except for those 3 people) so I just want to answer a couple FAQs for those of you you curious: 1.- Where did you get that Kyo shirt? A: Hot topic, last year, so I dunno if they will still have it. 2.- What's that "red toothbrush thing" you used for sanding? A: It's called mr. hobby polisher pro and you can get it here: amzn.to/2MODTLU And for those that complained about my little rant/PSA: Sorry if you found it "rude" or "bitter" on my part for calling out the people calling figures "dolls", it's called a skit for a reason, it's just to highlight negative shit in a comedic manner, I'm not ungrateful of people admiring the final result, but the title says FIGURE and I said FIGURE a good 20 times in the actual video FFS. There are some people that need to have things explained with apples and oranges, for lack of saying "spoon fed" so why not make it funny. If you do indeed think that complaining will get you anywhere, it will, to my blocked user's section in my community settings.
NGL I think a lot of the doll comments came from people who (like me) got the video recommended after watching a lot of doll customs. What is your stance on figures made from dolls? :^) Anyway, I loved seeing your process and your commentary is really charming. Let´s see how fast you reach the 50k! Much love
For me, it’s more like one of my knees is wonky and kinda offsets one leg to be longer. I have a sneaky suspicion that it affects the way I walk and the pressure on my joints more than I realize. 😓
The Sailor Moon video was the first one I had seen of a kit being assembled. I went back and checked the belated comment I left to be sure I hadn't referred to Sailor Moon as a doll. Whew. I don't want the wrath of The Queen to come down upon me!
I'm already stunned when I see people draw French nails on their own fingers and there's this tiny hand, next to your actual pinky nail with a perfect manicure 👀 you must really be a sucker for detail and/or punishment 😆 Also nice work on the foot surgery! The end result is awesome! I really enjoy your videos, there's something so satisfying to see a kit turn into a beautiful whole.
I arrive to watch another hour long video: Popcorn: popped Drink: in hand Me: what a pretty dol- *_I am forcibly removed from Leona’s Workshop_* (Really though i am in LOVE with the diorama you made!!! You put a lot of time into it and it shows!! The figures and the set are just so 😍😍😍😍.)
I'd let my croch goblins watch your content if they're into modeling. You're content is very amuzing and as long as my kids don't curse in public I won't care.
I feel the same, and I have a nine year old who is literally so scared to swear that he won't do it in front of any adults, even if you pay him. We literally offered him 100 dollars and he considered it before turning it down. He said it was tempting! When he was four or five he died in roblox and the word shit slipped out like he had stubbed his toe, and he fucking BAWLED. I hadn't even had time to react to what I had heard! By the time I said "Wait what did you say?" he was inconsolable!
Oh my goodness, when the music started playing for the reveal, I started tearing up. You really beautifully captured Tohru; I can totally imagine her telling Kyo and Yuki a story about her beloved mother to placate them in the midst of an argument. Your work is absolutely stunning, and I love how you share every step of the process in transforming a garage kit from a bunch of rough plastic into a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing your passion with us, Your Majesty!
I discovered you with your Princess Serenity figure, through a TH-cam recommendation. And although I'm not that much into figures (besides figma, nendoroid and some banpresto - because One Piece), your videos are just really entertaining and nice to look at. Also, the end results? O.M.G. I love what you do. And regarding parents and granny "what foul mouth", I have a simple saying of mine: You don't have to repeat anything and everything you hear. That's how I let my cousin watch some youtuber who's always cursing. Because I taught him that. Easy-peasy.
I can't believe I've been subbed to you for 6 or 7 years now! I love how your editing style changed over the years and that you now seem so comfortable in front of the camera💞 I purchased one of your figures years ago and just adore it. Nakoruru is one of my most treasured figures eventhough I never played the game haha Been wanting to start painting gks ever since I found out about it through you...but neither money nor space comply 😭 So hopefully one day! You did an amazing job on Tohru so far (not done with watching it as I type ww) Lots of love from Austria
@@lunapiecosplay6665 ball jointed dolls. They're made out of porcelain and some doll artists meticulously craft and paint them. Look up some pictures online, it's quite impressive
I'm always amazed by the amount of detail you put into the figures. I've never done these kits and can't fathom putting this much work into something like this. Anyways your work is amazing!!!
Was just going to watch the first few minutes or so and then finish watching when I had more time, but I just couldn't stop watching! Thank you for sharing your awesome work, as well as the details, mistakes, and triumphs of your process!
I'm a recent sub (first video I watched was the Princess Serenity kit 3 days ago) I absoultely love this format of video you are producing! I love getting cozy and just watching these!
As a person who painted resin anime models for 25 years I am very, like very, impressed. Your patience and the extra care you put is amazing. Respect and love from Italy. (Your video feels like home btw)
Me: "This is a really interesting video, and I love how thoroughly filmed the process is, but I'm not in the figure scene so I don't know if I should sub-" Leona: brings out a hamster Me: " *SUBSCRIBED* "
Not to undermine all your hard work but the moment my jaw dropped was when you pulled out a real ass Yuki 🥺🐭 Gorgeous work as always though! You make me wanna pick this up as a hobby, but I have no corners of my house left to store abandoned passion projects 😅
I love Fruits Basket...such a sweet and wholesome anime ♥ Gives me hope for world again, yah know? This figure and the diorama that you made to go with it...you can really tell how much this was a project of absolute love ♥ So beautiful
I do Warhammer modelism, most of the minis I paint are badass warriors ready to shoot at each other and kill each other. Pure testosterone in resin, plastic and pewter. ... Yet here I am enjoying watching this video of you getting this cute anime character and super amazed with your skills. Fenomenal!
I love the finished figure! Fruits basket is such a great show! The princess serenity video was the recommended video that brought me to your channel! I love your personality!💜💜
This is probably one of my favorites that I've seen you make. Fruits Basket holds a special place in my child hood, so it was very moving seeing all the work you put into this FIGURE. Thank you for you hard work.
(I'm just commenting as I'm watching so this might all seem kinda random) There are very few TH-cam videos that can keep my full attention these days. Yours just glues me to the screen! I love your work and injection of personality into your videos :) Also you're so great at working on small surfaces. I'm sure I would have cut and scraped myself several times if I were to try something like this. I read the Fruits Basket manga not too long ago and I think the anime is the perfect translation of the story. I love the music, the stillness, the characters. It's already one of my all time favourite anime. That cat print on Tohru's underwear was a stroke of genius! And wow embossing the zodiac animals. That turned out so cool! Really original. I admire how you made a whole diorama without much experience on the furniture/room building. It turned out wonderfully!
I loove fruits basket and i watched the old anime but never read the manga, i'm so happy the reboot is continueing the story and ur tohru figure is so cute!
Fruits basket is one of my favorite anime. I’ve only seen the original and I’ve read some of the manga and am trying to collect it. I’m waiting for season 3 to come out before I start the remake XD
It's probably the music over the final shots but I almost started crying. It just kinda brought back really intense memories of middle school and it hurt. This is beautiful.
BJD or Ball Jointed Dolls. Made from Resin and often hand crafted or sculpted in some way along with being very posable/customizable. Which... kinda self explains why they're also very expensive xD
The reason your work looks so good is not only that your an amazing artist but, you also take the time needed on the prep work before you ever touch paint. I've watched sereal videos and am amazed at the time an d dedication you show to your craft. You really are a "Doll" in your own right. LOL
Hi I like to thank you, I check out you're tutorials and the one about pinning and fixing small parts was very useful to me, I have resin dolls (yes a doll doll, not figurine, action figure or GK XD one of those crazy expensive dolls) that recently since the situation is so bad with some shipping arrive to my house in a very bad smashed box and one of the hands came broken... thanks to your tutorial i could fix it on my own n___n ............. and my croch goblin thinks you are super funny also XD
I'm so so glad to see this video up!! I love your videos, I draw and love playing your videos in the background for inspiration while I'm working on uni stuff. You're so good at painting the figures and it's just so cool to watch :)
Watching as you sand, putty, and paint the figurines. "Oh wow... that's so cool! That's definitely a lot of hard work and dedication..." Then you start the diorama. "OMG! Now THAT's dedication!!!" Blew my mind. It looks so good! Great job!
Thank you for sharing the Windex tip!! I've been too scared to try GKs because i always seem to mess up fine details because my hands shake. I had no idea you could correct those mistakes. Makes me wanna start doing GKs asap :)
I just LOVE your time for the details of these type if figures. And I love your comments and your behavior too!!! You made me laugh and, well, I just love your work. Thank you for take the time to show us this long process ❤️
Thank you for uploading another great video! I really enjoyed watching the Sailormoon one, I only stumbled upon that one randomly then subscribed immediately because I could see all the hard work and love you put into with your work. I really admire how detailed you are. I love how you decided to make Tohru's room and not just have her on the stand! I never watched the original Fruit Baskets but watching the remake and honestly the amount of feels that anime gives me, I love it! :) stay awesome and thank you for this amazing video :)
This is super impressive. I've watched those same diorama videos, and they're both relaxing and inspiring, so it's nice to see someone primarily in a separate hobby give it a try. Figure garage kits are a really interesting creative outlet, and I've wanted to try breaking from my dolls to attempt one for a little while now. Who knows? Enough of these videos might be the push I need.
I'm pretty sure I know why people called it a doll. I personally got that video as a recommendation while watching doll customs videos, and I'm sure many others were the same. Also, while I agree a figure is not the same as a doll, I think the customizing videos of the two can absolutely be classified in the same sphere. Anyway, beautiful work!
My dad calls anime cartoons just to joke around. My grandma calls it cartoons cause she says there is no difference. Mom rolls her eyes when I say anime is different then cartoons and my brother is starting to “appreciate” anime. At least he said that he’s changed his mind on anime a bit. XD
@@siaorihara Anime kinda means cartoon. Cartoon are ANIMATED. It's just used to define if you mean Eastern or Western Cartoon. In Japan our western stuff is refered as "Anime" aswell. So it's kinda bs and nitpicky to get mad at someone using another; yet equally correct term.
@@Kairos_Akuma ik that they both are animation. I’m mad cause they call it cartoons just because they know that it’s a hobby I love and they want to put it down as trash. It’s also like how people call manga comic books. They actually are graphic novels cause comic books are more focused on comedy. Graphic novels are more focused on story
The fly in the cleaning solution part was hilarious lmao, I think you did a great job and went above and beyond as far as quality goes. Thank you for sharing, I love the long videos!
I don't watch a ton of anime, pretty much only Naruto, but seeing people work on these figures is amazing. All the effort and blood, sweat, and tears is beautiful!
Hey! I have been meaning to ask you this for a while. Do you recommend any cheap/easy kits for beginners? I'm just getting into this but every kit I see is like over 60 bucks. That or they have more than 30 parts. The kits are fabulous but as a beginner it overwhelms me.
I have a recommendation that isn't strictly a garage kit, but it think it would be good practice for getting into it. There's some Love Live Sunshine figure rise busts and they're only about $20 on eBay or Amazon or wherever.
Eve Appleby's recommendation is pretty good actually. Bandai make kits that can be snapped together without the need for rare and expensive tools/materials, nor a high amount of skill. And they come apart into the separate colours so its simple to paint! as a beginner those would definitely be a good place to start!
I love how thorough your explanations are for each part of the process. I don't do resin figures or garage knits myself, but the techniques I learn here (especially the ones about masking/painting) are so useful for any of my other crafts. Thank you for all your hard work!
(Sees the underwear being painted) Me: I don’t know how to feel about this (Sees Cat painted in the back) Me: Wheezes! Welp, make sense, she is a fan of the cat zodiac.
Fruits Basket tiene un lugar muy especial en mi corazón desde que era pequeña y tal vez por eso este video ha sido especialmente maravilloso de ver. Tu atención al detalle y tu paciencia son increíbles, como siempre. Gracias por mostrar al mundo tu talento porque MADRE MIA, chica, es genial!!
I'm so happy seeing all the new Furuba fans with the new Fruits Basket release. Your figures are gorgeous! It may just be my soft spot for Kyo, but I want that cute Kyo cat figure so badly! I would put in on a pedestal above all other figures. Great job
WOW, this is the most cutest and precious and beautiful model set of Tohru, Yuki & Kyo from Fruit Basket I have ever seen!!!!! 😍😍😍💖💖💖🌸🌸🌸 Everyone looks really amazing in their new animation styles and I really love that you also made Tohru’s bedroom with her mom’s picture, her books, everything to suit the characters!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 That’s a lot of sweet dedication and I admire you for that, outstanding job on this, Leona!!!! 😍😍😍💖💖💖🌸🌸🌸 You’re incredible!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
OMG I totally remember finding this kit and debating whether to get it or not. In the end I didn't years ago but I absolutely adored watching you bring it together and the diorama was amazing!!! I too hold fruits basket in a very special place in my heart and am watching the new seasons and falling in love with it all over again. Amazing work!!! Can't wait to watch more of them! Thanks so much for sharing!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Omg Tohur looks so beautiful and her room. The fact that you added her room is so great. Like I'm absolutely jealous I wish I had the kit too but just seeing your finished product is just as amazing.
Omg! The figure and diorama came out super cute! I also had no idea that they made a remake of fruits basket until seeing this! The original Fruits basket was the first anime I had ever seen, so now I know what I’m going to be binge watching for the next few days lol.
Congratulations!! What a fantastic video, The end result was truly beautiful, polished and I want one. All your hard work paid off. You rant girlie you've earned it!! Knob off those who had problems, this isnt for children and you can see just how pressurised a situation she is in, Covid19, lack of supplies etc, yet still lets us watch her perform her magic. I'm learning from this including it's not just me who gets a little defensive or frustrated. Xxxxx
I just heard from you that there is a remake of the series. I was a big fan from the very beginning, now I'm 40 years old and the mangas still have a place of honor on my bookshelf. Thanks a million for this best news of the year!
This is the first time I've seen model building and painting like this! So much detail work makes my head spin, but seeing the attention you give to it is so impressive!
I love love love how she turned out! Fruits Basket is always the anime I turn back to when I need something happy and wholesome. It’s an escape for me. So to see the figure and AWESOME diorama really makes my day! Thank you for doing these videos and taking the time educate on techniques! Like others, I never thought I’d be up for watching hour long videos on figures (especially after the fiasco of my dad trying to get me into his model planes) but here I am! And holy crap it’s so interesting watching you bring these figures to life!! I only started watching six months ago, but now I’m hooked ❤️
Aww little Yuki with the cap 💜 it all came out so nice! I’m not so good at painting so I wish there were already painted figures this nice of Tohru, I’m so excited that they recently made Yuki and kyo ones 😊
Hahahaha "Doll". I just love Fruits Basket which is why i wanted to start with this new Hobby to Paint and also Model/Print Figures. Your Videos help me sooo much to learn a ton so thank youu!!
Absolutely amazing work! I totally forgot how much of a nightmare classic Tohru's entire head area was. Your amazing diorama and true work of art painting contrasted with the frightening fever dream that is classic Tohru's head.

Hello Everyone!
I'm happy that all of you (except for 3 people) have enjoyed the video and my little rant (except for those 3 people) so I just want to answer a couple FAQs for those of you you curious:
1.- Where did you get that Kyo shirt?
A: Hot topic, last year, so I dunno if they will still have it.
2.- What's that "red toothbrush thing" you used for sanding?
A: It's called mr. hobby polisher pro and you can get it here: amzn.to/2MODTLU
And for those that complained about my little rant/PSA: Sorry if you found it "rude" or "bitter" on my part for calling out the people calling figures "dolls", it's called a skit for a reason, it's just to highlight negative shit in a comedic manner, I'm not ungrateful of people admiring the final result, but the title says FIGURE and I said FIGURE a good 20 times in the actual video FFS. There are some people that need to have things explained with apples and oranges, for lack of saying "spoon fed" so why not make it funny.
If you do indeed think that complaining will get you anywhere, it will, to my blocked user's section in my community settings.
The doll turned out wonderful. JK! Kinda fallen in love with your channel and your energy and smile. Thanks for the inspiration!
When you have to put a rant in video because of idiots, and another in comments because of more idiots. Neither of whom get that they are idiots.
NGL I think a lot of the doll comments came from people who (like me) got the video recommended after watching a lot of doll customs.
What is your stance on figures made from dolls? :^)
Anyway, I loved seeing your process and your commentary is really charming. Let´s see how fast you reach the 50k! Much love
Hahaha that last sentence cracked me up
Can you please tell me what kind of doll 1:58 was?? She’s so beautiful
As someone with one leg that’s shorter than the other one, I can relate to this Tohru figure.
😂😂 I wasn’t ready for this comment
Same
Mfjvjcjd same
For me, it’s more like one of my knees is wonky and kinda offsets one leg to be longer. I have a sneaky suspicion that it affects the way I walk and the pressure on my joints more than I realize. 😓
Oop-

I'm actually jealous how detailed and beautiful your masterpiece is 🥰
"This is not a gundam, its a transformer!" OMG I almost fell out of my chair lmaoooo thanks Queenie!
My life's complete now. Knowing that someone put that much effort into her room and that it exists in the world.
Thank you!

What i usually say: Dolls are for playing, figures are for collecting. Huge difference. But i love your work so so much
But you can also collect dolls.
People usually don't play with bjds either
@@till5871 i have no idea what those dolls are. But they look ok ish. But usually i dont like Dolls

Don't say that to those hardcore Barbie collectors! Lol.
But I get what you are saying.
I collect Pullip dolls, they’re also not made for playing 😄
I'm always amazed by the amount of detail you put into the figures. I've never done these kits and can't fathom putting this much work into something like this. Anyways your work is amazing!!!
13:28 Tohru without bangs has the largest receding hairline so big that it scares me 😂

Not to undermine all your hard work but the moment my jaw dropped was when you pulled out a real ass Yuki 🥺🐭

When the background music went "huehuehuehue" I felt that
Love that you aren't taking anyone's shit and putting your foot down. Love your figures and process
I find your videos very soothing. You’re organizing chaos. 🖤
This is probably one of my favorites that I've seen you make. Fruits Basket holds a special place in my child hood, so it was very moving seeing all the work you put into this FIGURE. Thank you for you hard work.

There is something sooooo relaxing about watching this whole process
IT’S NOT A DOLL MOM IT’S A(N ACTION) FIGURE (can’t wait to watch the video btw :3 )
It's probably the music over the final shots but I almost started crying. It just kinda brought back really intense memories of middle school and it hurt. This is beautiful.
As an owner of several of the dolls with monstrous price tags, I feel so attacked 😂
Really admire your work though
I am curious...what is the name of these dolls and why are they so expensive? :)
BJD or Ball Jointed Dolls. Made from Resin and often hand crafted or sculpted in some way along with being very posable/customizable. Which... kinda self explains why they're also very expensive xD
Oh my... I am absolutely FLOORED by your talent!!!! I came for Fruits Basket but stayed for the Queen! 👑❤
I love Fruits Basket! It was the first anime and manga I ever watched! I've always loved that GK, and I hope I can get it one day.
The reason your work looks so good is not only that your an amazing artist but, you also take the time needed on the prep work before you ever touch paint. I've watched sereal videos and am amazed at the time an d dedication you show to your craft. You really are a "Doll" in your own right. LOL
I love you even more when you called them crotch goblins. And cussed like a sailor. 🖤🖤🖤💖💖💖
You are a whole experience . Your humor , your talent is so.... way out of the ordinary realm.

Naaah, I'm jocking, but still love ya channel girl! Keep going the good stuff B)
I'm pretty sure I know why people called it a doll. I personally got that video as a recommendation while watching doll customs videos, and I'm sure many others were the same. Also, while I agree a figure is not the same as a doll, I think the customizing videos of the two can absolutely be classified in the same sphere.
Anyway, beautiful work!
Me: **Watching anime**
Someone: Ooooh what cartoon is that
Me: **Picks them up and throws them off the building**
I can relate.
My dad calls anime cartoons just to joke around. My grandma calls it cartoons cause she says there is no difference. Mom rolls her eyes when I say anime is different then cartoons and my brother is starting to “appreciate” anime. At least he said that he’s changed his mind on anime a bit. XD
@@siaorihara Anime kinda means cartoon. Cartoon are ANIMATED. It's just used to define if you mean Eastern or Western Cartoon. In Japan our western stuff is refered as "Anime" aswell. So it's kinda bs and nitpicky to get mad at someone using another; yet equally correct term.
@@Kairos_Akuma ik that they both are animation. I’m mad cause they call it cartoons just because they know that it’s a hobby I love and they want to put it down as trash. It’s also like how people call manga comic books. They actually are graphic novels cause comic books are more focused on comedy. Graphic novels are more focused on story
The fly in the cleaning solution part was hilarious lmao, I think you did a great job and went above and beyond as far as quality goes. Thank you for sharing, I love the long videos!
Hats off to your HUGE patience, mitigation perfection
Me: *a collector of BJDs and other dolls*
Also me: Man... This is some skill, I enjoy watching this. :)
I don't watch a ton of anime, pretty much only Naruto, but seeing people work on these figures is amazing. All the effort and blood, sweat, and tears is beautiful!
Hey! I have been meaning to ask you this for a while. Do you recommend any cheap/easy kits for beginners? I'm just getting into this but every kit I see is like over 60 bucks. That or they have more than 30 parts. The kits are fabulous but as a beginner it overwhelms me.
I have a recommendation that isn't strictly a garage kit, but it think it would be good practice for getting into it. There's some Love Live Sunshine figure rise busts and they're only about $20 on eBay or Amazon or wherever.
Eve Appleby's recommendation is pretty good actually. Bandai make kits that can be snapped together without the need for rare and expensive tools/materials, nor a high amount of skill. And they come apart into the separate colours so its simple to paint! as a beginner those would definitely be a good place to start!
Leona has a video for picking your first GK. It’s in her ‘back to basics’ playlist. :)
I love how thorough your explanations are for each part of the process. I don't do resin figures or garage knits myself, but the techniques I learn here (especially the ones about masking/painting) are so useful for any of my other crafts. Thank you for all your hard work!
Omg girl i love u so much u make my day and u are defiantly my Queen Bi***.... i mean Resin Queen of corse ;-)
Lovely work and Tohru is the kindest heart in all manga/anime.
It makes me kinda nervous when you cut toward yourself while preparing these kits :'Occ
This turned out really well regardless!
Imaginate que cuide tu corazon de la manera que trabaja en la figura *-* You are amazing Queen !!!!
(Sees the underwear being painted)
Me: I don’t know how to feel about this
(Sees Cat painted in the back)
Me: Wheezes!
Welp, make sense, she is a fan of the cat zodiac.
Fruits Basket tiene un lugar muy especial en mi corazón desde que era pequeña y tal vez por eso este video ha sido especialmente maravilloso de ver. Tu atención al detalle y tu paciencia son increíbles, como siempre. Gracias por mostrar al mundo tu talento porque MADRE MIA, chica, es genial!!
Oh my...your videos are a delight. It's amazing how detailed your GK and diorama are. Love to watch you work.
I'm so happy seeing all the new Furuba fans with the new Fruits Basket release. Your figures are gorgeous! It may just be my soft spot for Kyo, but I want that cute Kyo cat figure so badly! I would put in on a pedestal above all other figures. Great job
Drawing the eyes is always my favorite part
WOW, this is the most cutest and precious and beautiful model set of Tohru, Yuki & Kyo from Fruit Basket I have ever seen!!!!! 😍😍😍💖💖💖🌸🌸🌸 Everyone looks really amazing in their new animation styles and I really love that you also made Tohru’s bedroom with her mom’s picture, her books, everything to suit the characters!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 That’s a lot of sweet dedication and I admire you for that, outstanding job on this, Leona!!!! 😍😍😍💖💖💖🌸🌸🌸 You’re incredible!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
OMG I totally remember finding this kit and debating whether to get it or not. In the end I didn't years ago but I absolutely adored watching you bring it together and the diorama was amazing!!! I too hold fruits basket in a very special place in my heart and am watching the new seasons and falling in love with it all over again.
Amazing work!!! Can't wait to watch more of them! Thanks so much for sharing!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I've heard of figure building hobbies, but never seen it done before. You did a great job! Thanks for sharing...
Omg Tohur looks so beautiful and her room. The fact that you added her room is so great. Like I'm absolutely jealous I wish I had the kit too but just seeing your finished product is just as amazing.
That base is crazy! You should be proud as hell for all that hard work.
There's just something so satisfying about watching you put these figures together.
i literally love fruits basket thank you for designing this beautiful figure
Omg! The figure and diorama came out super cute! I also had no idea that they made a remake of fruits basket until seeing this! The original Fruits basket was the first anime I had ever seen, so now I know what I’m going to be binge watching for the next few days lol.
Thank God for letting my obsession with fruits basket lead me to this. It's so relaxing and satisfying and beautiful!
This is so delicate and detailed. You really dedicate yourself fully to your craft.
I doll customize and watch doll customizers. But my cousin showed me your channel and your kits and I pretty much am a fangirl now. Love your kits! 💜
わぁ～また懐かしいガレージキットｗ

Congratulations!! What a fantastic video, The end result was truly beautiful, polished and I want one. All your hard work paid off.
You rant girlie you've earned it!! Knob off those who had problems, this isnt for children and you can see just how pressurised a situation she is in, Covid19, lack of supplies etc, yet still lets us watch her perform her magic.
I'm learning from this including it's not just me who gets a little defensive or frustrated.
Xxxxx
The diorama was such an amazing idea!! Really brings the figure to a whole new level
Seeing the complete look made me cry. It’s so precious and the amount of work you put into is amazing 😭
I just heard from you that there is a remake of the series. I was a big fan from the very beginning, now I'm 40 years old and the mangas still have a place of honor on my bookshelf. Thanks a million for this best news of the year!
I agree acrylics are easier to blend...well I love her you did an awesome job
This is the first time I've seen model building and painting like this! So much detail work makes my head spin, but seeing the attention you give to it is so impressive!
I love love love how she turned out! Fruits Basket is always the anime I turn back to when I need something happy and wholesome. It’s an escape for me. So to see the figure and AWESOME diorama really makes my day! Thank you for doing these videos and taking the time educate on techniques! Like others, I never thought I’d be up for watching hour long videos on figures (especially after the fiasco of my dad trying to get me into his model planes) but here I am! And holy crap it’s so interesting watching you bring these figures to life!! I only started watching six months ago, but now I’m hooked ❤️
Tohru's face in this sculpt is genuinely terrifying, but you did a wonderful job putting this piece together. The diorama is lovely.
Aww little Yuki with the cap 💜 it all came out so nice! I’m not so good at painting so I wish there were already painted figures this nice of Tohru, I’m so excited that they recently made Yuki and kyo ones 😊
You are truly amazing when you paint these resin fugurines ❤❤❤❤❤
Your editing and humor makes these videos so much fun to watch!
She turned out SO GOOD! and her whole little room display is adorable
Tohru Honda and all her earthly possessions.... all five of them..
Hahahaha "Doll". I just love Fruits Basket which is why i wanted to start with this new Hobby to Paint and also Model/Print Figures. Your Videos help me sooo much to learn a ton so thank youu!!
Absolutely amazing work! I totally forgot how much of a nightmare classic Tohru's entire head area was. Your amazing diorama and true work of art painting contrasted with the frightening fever dream that is classic Tohru's head.
I'm just gonna say that I love how feisty she is!!!
