Lemillion papercraft action figure ( Mirio Togata)



A customized action figure of Lemillion from My Hero Academia. I have developed a liking to the anime series and Manga and I found out that Macfarlane Toys have a line of action figures from the show. 

The sculpt and articulation is quite good for their price point and I decided to create my own action figures in the seven inch scale. There are a lot of advantages when creating figures in a smaller scale. Less materials are required, the parts are easier to assemble and it takes less time to make. 

I have a lot of projects lined up and I will make them all in the new seven inch scale. This is the first action figure in my new scale. Le Million, also known as Mirio Togata, 

I like this character for his determination and courage. He never gives up even against overwhelming odds.

A tutorial on how to sculpt a basic anime style face. 
The Material used is foam clay. Foam clay is a very good material to use in paper craft action figures. It's light weight and when dry, it forms a rigid but flexible shape that does not shatter like ceramic clay.

I use it for the head piece of my action figures. Its much smoother than papermache head sculpt. 

In the tutorial, I documented how I shape the clay into the basic form of a generic anime style face. Painting and adding hair will be covered in a different video.
