[MOC] Fran [Reincarnated as a Sword]

[Gray Gear]

This is the second Anime Figure I built: The Catgirl "Fran" from the Manga/Anime series "Reincarnated as a Sword", which is one of my favorite series. It is both cute, wholesome and exceptionally brutal at the same time. The second main character of the series is the the intelligent Sword "Teacher", who helps Fran escape slavery and accompanys her on her adventures.

This being my second figure I had more of an idea what I was doing. I still had to use some non-LEGO bricks to get the look I wanted.

Fran being 12 yo Girl meant I had to build a Figure with a body a lot smaller and more slender than most other figures out there. I really enjoyed building the clothes, which are a kind of mix between a dress and a light Armor. For the cloak I used the one from the Obi-Wan Kenobi buildable figure, which turned out to fit quite nicely.

The Base was also a lot of fun. In the series Fran is often thrown backwards when blocking heavy blows due to her low weight. The uses her Sword as a kind of plow, ramming it into the ground to slow down. I decided to use this as a kind of support, so the figure would be more stable. This worked very well and the whole MOC can easily be lifted by the sword blade. The upper part of the sword is very fragile though, so the upper hand is not actually contributing anything in terms of stability. I also made the floor to look broken and cracked.

I hope you like my MOC

I was thinking of making a cloak myself for this Figure

Has one of you made custom cloth cloaks before? I have seen some people using cloth for Sunshades to make minifig cloaks, but this Forum might have other methods for Bionicle and other larger Figures. I'd be glad to hear your experiences
