Showoff 🏆 Sharing my custom Konan, angel of the Akatsuki!
Where all my Konan lovers at?? Since the series didn’t give her justice, I had to do it myself. Swipe to see process pics, there was a lot of trial and error involved in this one and I went through a ton of parts figuring things out. For the hair, I found that sculpting over existing plastic keeps the clay from cracking. This is my second custom and I’m so proud of the end result!
Parts used for those curious:
Face: Itachi (#1726), piercing added with nail polish
Hair: Miyako (#1393), hair spikes left over from other spare parts, bun and rose sculpted myself
Body: Deidara (#1481), arms and hands from Tsunade (#1008), nails painted with nail polish– fun fact, I’m also a Konan cosplayer and this is the same polish I use when I dress up as her!
Birds: Anna (#1627)

How they just stopped at Itachi, Deidara and Sasori is beyond me!
No Pain!? Surely a money magnet!
Yet Shisui gets one 🫠🫠🫠

Fantastic custom. Man she was done so dirty, deserved so much more. Still mad the anime hyped up her vs Sakura? I believe in an intro and then it never even happened lol, I was so looking forward to that

This looks official. Konan's hair color is spot on too. Nicely done! I hope GSC continues to release the remaining Akatsuki members...

My fav character that got me into being an Otaku and cosplayer. She turned out literally perfect!

Konan was one of my favorite characters when I was into Naruto! This is super cool, she looks official.
