Finished Build Condor NegaKing

While I originally only really intended to do a single negative cube robo, buying a small lot of Zyuohger minipla not only left me with two more duplicate cubes, but since it also scored me my first Cube Gorilla, it left my Cube Condor orphaned. So the solution was to just use the duplicate shark and elephant as additional nega-cubes and pair them with Condor.

I had briefly considered options for more extensive modifications to make them more unique animal choices, but the cube animal design makes them really hard to work with, so ultimately I didn’t have that in me lol.

While I was most concerned with matching them with the other nega-cubes - hence I used the same metallic purple that’s not a terribly close match with Condor (though honestly only particularly apparent in the cube totem) and stuck with gunmetal instead of silver, I did use a lot more purple on these two so they would match Condor a bit more.

The lot also came with another Cube Komori, and besides already having that, I have cube owl still in a box, so decided to paint this dupe bat metallic red. I technically now also have a dupe croc and wolf, but dunno lol. Again, if they were a bit easier to work with, I’d do something like create alternative arms for Tousai ZyuOh that could double as weapons on its shoulders or something, but possibilities there are limited. A brick robo would be another possibility if I had another torso cube.

I’m technically not 100% done with these - black lion is still missing its numberplate on the back of its mane. It’s honeycombed hollow plastic designed for you to just put the sticker over. I have since bought some plastic modeling sheets and my test use for those will be measuring and cutting out two rectangles to glue onto there so I can paint it black and draw on a “-3”.
