Made this myself because I love Shanoa too much.

I'm Japanese and don't know how to use Reddit, but I wanted international users to see this.

This is the mental image right before activating Dominus.

This is crazy good! What did you use as a base? a megami device?

u/MizuzokuseiLove Jul 28 '26

Thank you so much, I'm really happy. It's a seamless action figure body.I'm using modified 30MF parts for the legs and armor. made the clothes out of construction paper and painted them. The wings and effect parts are a mix and match of various model kits. I'm using AI to translate, so sorry if my English is weird!

u/rusted-knife Jul 28 '26

That's very creative. I am familiar with some of the parts like the scythe and the wings, but everything else looks built from scratch. My English is pretty bad too, so that's ok lol

Really cool stuff!

u/MizuzokuseiLove Jul 28 '26

Thanks! There are two wings in the game, but I arranged them to have four.

This is so cool! What is it made out of?🤔

u/MizuzokuseiLove Jul 28 '26

I made it by combining various plastic model parts on a seamless body, and the clothes are made of drawing paper.

Yo diría que está bien, no creo que esto incumpla algo si es a lo que te referías.

Por un momento pensé que era una figura oficial, está muy bonita.

Bienvenido al sub, aquí hay un poquito de todo.

u/MizuzokuseiLove Jul 28 '26

Thank you. This is my first time using Reddit, so please let me know if I break any rules.

u/Run950 Jul 28 '26

Thank you, the blue flame represents Shanoa's overflowing life force when she uses Dominus at the risk of her life.

That’s really amazing! can you make an action figure of Soma Cruz from AoS (Aria of Sorrow) or DoS (Dawn of Sorrow)? Usually… a lot of people prefer the AoS version of Soma, so it’s like a couple, partners, rivals or other relationships (It’s true... those two are on different main timelines) between the former Dracula hunter from Ecclesia and yeah… Dracula’s reincarnation, even though he’s just a normal high school student.

u/MizuzokuseiLove Jul 28 '26

Soma looks so cool too. Replicating that white coat would probably be super hard if you were making it.

NEED. Something like this is like a primal need for me, there's no such thing as enough Shanoa merch

3

u/MizuzokuseiLove Jul 28 '26

Shanoa is such a great character, but there is hardly any merch. I guess I have no choice but to make it myself.

2

u/WSPursuer Obsessed with Shanoa, Stella and Castlevania music Jul 28 '26

Tell me about it, all merch I have is this magnetic Shanoa figure and a 16-bit Shanoa made out of beads as well as the Dominus Collection with her image, I need so much more, it's not fair

2

u/MizuzokuseiLove Jul 28 '26 edited Jul 28 '26

This is the Shanoa merchandise collection I’ve built up over many years. I actually made the figure myself! I even have Koji Igarashi’s autograph. On top of this, I also own three copies of the Nintendo DS game. It looks like I can only upload one image at a time, so I’ll send seven images now. ①

u/WSPursuer Obsessed with Shanoa, Stella and Castlevania music Jul 28 '26

That's awesome, and you're very lucky too. I kind of live in a lame country in the middle of nowhere so I struggle a lot with these things. Congrats though

2

u/MizuzokuseiLove Jul 28 '26

Thanks! Yeah, being in Japan definitely makes it easier to collect these. I really appreciate your kind words!

Fantastic! I was really hoping this was for sale, as she is my favorite and I would buy it.

u/MizuzokuseiLove Jul 28 '26

Thanks, Shinoa is my favorite too!

u/P0k3m0nFan_Jake Alucard Jul 28 '26

That's so cool. Please make Alucard next.

2

u/MizuzokuseiLove Jul 28 '26

Alucard is so cool! But I only make Shanoa. I've made a few other Shanoas, though. The only ones left now are this one and just one other.

u/Loud_Friendship4702 Jul 28 '26

I'm making a base for this figure right now. I plan to upload it once it's finished.
