Ginga Custom pt. 9

I'm confused about the name, but anyway, here's TOPPS' Puppy in my Pocket: Precious Puppies: Shogun repainted as Gin (Hopeanuoli!)!

Somebody might remember I bought this little puppy in last years October as can be read in this post. As it turns out the figure IS actually an Akita and not a Husky, like I stated in my first post. The site that was my source information was apparently very wrong. Whoopsie!

If you're wondering how the figure's paint job has deteriorated so much since I bought it, the answer is quite simple. It's not the same figure! I traded the dog I bought for this one in worse shape, because since I'm repainting it, the condition of the original paint doesn't really matter.

Repainting  this thing was horrible. The dog is made of very soft material and the acrylic paint didn't respond well to it. No matter for how long I left it to dry up or sprayed some varnish on it, the paint would remain so sticky that every time I finished painting something on it, and was putting it aside some paint would stick to my fingers and tear a hole in the paint coat. That was frustrating as hell on a whole new level. Now when it's finally finished, it's still semi-sticky and I'll not touch this thing ever again! >_<
