"I'm sorry, April's a little tied up at the moment..."




April



Head - TMNT April "Newshen" figure"

I've kept the original head on it's original body.  Now the second head proved to be the problem...what does one do with a head that comes with a non-removable face gag?

I decided to use it as a testbed to see if the original sculpt could be transported onto a slightly better body than the old ZC.  And it can.  It's a hell of a lot of work on the neck and body, but here it is on a recolored Triad otaku/alpha hybrid


And yes, I'm left with a doll thats tied up and gagged on display in my cabinet.  I decided to couple it with the Damtoys Gangster's Kingdom strappy chair to recreate a classic scene of perennial damsel April awaiting rescue by the Turtles.  I've no yellow jumpsuit, other than the one the figure comes with, so ...let's say she was at the beach that day.

Anyway, here she is...
