There are so many options to customize this figure that I may end up getting more. With the exception of the saw that actually came with the figure set, the other parts are from Kotobukiya: MSG and Hexa Gear(spare parts).

Maketoys Battle Sentinel Gento Mod
Got tired of stripping down the top side of the feet to gain more degrees at the bend when posing the figure so I decided to mod their latest mold, Gento. I don't have the patience or will to stop and take a pic with each step I took so I'll give a brief explanation.
2X
Cut off the ankle ball joint and sanded down the surface where it was. There I glued a plastic strip. I cut a small alligator clip strip and drilled a hole in the ball and on the glued strip. I made sure the metal strip would fit tight and I superglued the strip to both ends (strip on bottom of leg and ball). Painted the plastic strip on bottom of leg matte black. Added 3 Kotobukiya Plaunit Duct Nozzles on the sides to add a little more length and add aesthetic to the bottom of the leg. Finally I cut a small strip of electrical tape and covered the skinny metal strip connecting the ball joint to the bottom of the leg.

Not a perfect job because I didn't have a slim blade to cut the ball joint perfectly. It left a flat surface on top of the ball joint so when bending all the way the ball joint doesn't have as sturdy of a grip as I'd like. Still, now I can pull off the sort poses I've always wanted too. :-D It also looks good in trailer mode. Not going to show that though. Too much work. :-P

Figma Strength mod in progress
Figma Strength from the Black Rock Shooter universe. This is a work in progress. It was meant for a battle photo shoot, but who knows if I'll get around to doing it. Anyway, she has 2 chainsaws (chain rotates), 2 fists, 2 gatlin guns (with rotating barrels), and 2 big ass robotic arms with bladed grips or fingers.. something like that. It's awesome. Not all the parts are assembled and painted yet.
