This is a thread for all the Toku (and Toku related) toys I paint.

I love to paint miniatures and add details to Gashapon and vinyl toys.

Here's a set of "finger puppet" toys. Before and after:







These things are surprisingly detailed and a little paint really brings out the finer details. A couple things bother me: Agito's head crest is deployed (I'd rather have the regular look), Wizard is holding his gun, W's pose is rather generic, and Ghost's pose takes up too much space.

I used an ultra glossy clear nail polish on all the eyes to give them a nice shiny look. The rest of the paint was done using Bandai's own Gundam Markers. Decade was the most work, Gaim was the most challenging, and I still can't find a best match for Build's colors.

Here's the whole gang!



I'll be posting more stuff from RKF, SO-DO, and Minipla. Cheers!

Oh wow, you did a great job with these. I never expected these to be able to look this good.

[Kiwami]

Awesome work painting these, they look so good together!

[Kamen Rider Die]

Those look so great!

I'm okay with the Agito crest being deployed, since it looks like he's in his Finishing Move pose. And Double, it's not a great pose... but I think I'm more bummed that he's not two finger puppets split down the middle. What a waste!

[Sunred]

Outstanding.

I'm very proud of this one. Minipla ToQ-oh and Diesel-Oh.

I actually ended up cutting up the stickers to use a combination of paint and stickers. I really want to paint the white front of the Red Ressha but my paint was actually eating through the plastic a bit so white paint turned out pink. This actually worked to my advtange where the black areas are painted on each Ressha. The color ran so deep, it looks almost pre-molded in that color.

I love love love Minipla. I own the DX version of ToQ-oh but the minipla's articulation is just so much better. Minipla might be too good, as now I'm opting for the Minipla versions over the DX stuff.

RKF Kamen Rider Valkyrie, Build Hazard Kaizoku Ressha, Geiz Revive Shippu



The RKF line is decent, but painting them really takes them to the next level. For some figures, the lack of paint is truly astounding. But if you're willing to go the extra steps, the end result is satisfying. You might have noticed that these 3 figures are Premium Bandai equivalent in SH Figuarts costing upwards of $120 each.

I believe Valkyrie is the first female rider in the RKF line. She is really easy to spruce up, with just a Gundam panel liner marker to fill in all the black spots and lines. Some black paint on the shot riser makes a huge difference.

Build Hazard is almost entirely straight black. You get alternative head pieces to make up for it, but out of the box, he almost looks like a batman or ninja figure. Again, details to the belt make it look great. Up until recently, the SH Figuarts version of Build Hazard couldn't be made into Kaizoku Ressha (my favorite version!). So RKF came through again!

Geiz Revive is the most interesting. The SH Figuarts version doesn't actually transform. Instead it parts form- looking a little more show accurate, but how cool is it that the RKF can do the actual transformation with the armor? I repainted a lot of black parts into a gunmetal silver (knee caps and exterior of armor). To top it all off, I printed the Ziku Driver graphics onto transparent paper and glued them to the belt. Who needs Figuarts now?!

[Kurona]

Wait, RKF Hazard comes with multiple heads?!

Either way these looks great! I haven't been too fond of RKF myself but you make them look fantastic

[ShiShiLeo]

These are "Rider's Anthem" gashapon toys.



Grand Zi-O is surprisingly detailed. You can almost make out each of the riders on his armor!

These 3 suits are actually some of my all time favorite Kamen Rider designs so when they were released as a set, it felt like it was made for me.

These all look incredible, you've done an amazing job!
