MAGIC CUBE U.S. ARMY P.T. UNIFORM SET



I recently purchased the Magic Cube U.S. Army P.T. Uniform set. I have it modeled on a Hot Toys True Type body with the New Goblin / James Franco head (also recently acquired.) The set overall is nice. It comes with the T shirt, Shorts, a reflective belt and a couple sweatbands and a knee brace made from black lycra. The downsides to the set are the lack of footwear, socks / socklets, and the actual logos on the shirt.

The T Shirt I wasn't that pleased with. The lettering is wrong. I wasn't expecting them to make it reflective like the real thing, but the letters should be dark grey and not black and they are also not properly spaced and are too thin. The quality of the actual T shirt is fantastic. The "A" logo on the back of the shirt should again be a dark grey but its size and look is good though.

The shorts are the best part of the set. These are just such great quality in craftsmanship and material.

As I mentioned, shoes are not included in the set. The pair modeled here are from Toys City. They go nicely with the set, however would not be authorized for wear as they are hiking boots as opposed to sneakers. The set also does not include white socks / socklets.

I got my set for $19 shipped off ebay. I think it was a fair price for what I got but wouldn't pay more than that.

WIP: SGT. KANYA SARANGEREL

Hey Everybody,

Time for another long overdue update. This time I have my WIP lady commando Sgt. Kanya Sarangerel:

Kanya is the Hot Toys Suckerpunch Amber headsculpt on a clone Takara Cy Girls CG 2.0 body. This was the best match I found of any alternate body. Her hands are also from the Amber figure.

Her rifle is a customized 21st Century Toys French FAMAS that I shortened the barrel on and modified a Toys City PMAG to work in.

Her uniform is a lycra leotard from Old Joe Infirmary / OJI Toys and woodland camo bdu pants from Dragon. The vest is a Hot Toys plate carrier that I custom modified the straps on to fit tighter and be worn more like a vest than a plate carrier as it only has soft armor inside. Her boots are also from Old Joe Infirmary / OJI Toys. 

The few things I have left to do to finish her are doing her up a flocked beret... either blue or purple, and then some custom printed fabric patches. I am leaning towards giving her insignia for the NATO Reaction Force as I created her to be more of a peacekeeper type role rather than direct action.
