NEW PRODUCT: Flagset: 1/6 Red Alert Soviet female officer Katyusha （#FS73029）

Nice. I'm going to post pics once I do a body swap. I'll probably lose the boots though and hoping everything else will still look good.

Just contacted the seller on the broken pieces (rifle and revolver). I didn't even notice there was a piece of the rifle that was broken until I tried to attach the strap. Hopefully seller will have contact with Flagset about it.

oh, nice, I'd love to see the pics when you do! I'm also thinking of maybe replacing the boots. Yea the plastic hooks are delicate on the rifle. I think I may have bent one a bit clipping on the strap. It didn't break off though so I think I'm good heh. If you get a new one, open the clips fully first on the strap and you should avoid my mistake.

Well, here's the "before" with my broken pieces... Interesting note, the back plastic hook seems to be way more flexible and forgiving than the front. The front was very thin, tiny brittle plastic that snapped very easily in my fingers when I was inspecting the hook breakage. The back hook I flexed back and forth a few times and still held well.

Now here's my "after" using paper clips, wire stripper/cutter, side cutters, pin vise, bead pliers and hobby knife. I actually snapped off the release bar on the revolver during my insertion of the pin. So drilled a hole where it's supposed to go, sharpened the broken end into a point and shoved it into the hole. It's crooked in the shot but adjustable. It's actually holding better than if I glued it. :p

Because the hooks are now metal, I don't really have to worry about attaching the straps as much. LOL

Nice mods, well done! I think the back hook had some type of hinge but the front one didn't. I think the metal hook looks better now. Did you have to apply glue for those or did you just pin them in?

That bottom part of the revolver on mine is a bit crooked too, I think it's the mold.

Thanks. I just pinned them in. They are pretty solid in there, so no real need for glue. The hooks and latch work great now. But have to press more on the latch to attach or remove as the metal hook is thicker. Though I could also just remove the hook as well since they are not glued in.

Ok. Finally did a body swap to a S25B. You can find it here:

Thanks Guys! I had fun editing the slideshow at the end of the review. Yea, she definitely looks better with the hat. It covers up the high forehead and seamline there. I do think I'm a kinda sucker for a set that comes with a lot of accessories too I feel.

Cool looking photos and video review, great looking figure csyeung!
