FINAL FANTASY IV
ROSA PROJECT #477 CREATED: 2011 "I don't care how dangerous it will be! I don't care, as long as I can be with you!" Rosa was a compassionate and beautiful woman, and the sweetheart of Cecil, captain of the Red Wings fleet. Such was her undying devotion to Cecil that she ventured into the wilderness alone to find him after he was sent on a mission to the Village of Mist and failed to return. Rosa becomes a vital member of the party in the game, whose skills with a bow and arrow are unmatched, and whose prowess at curative white magic spells made her invaluable to Cecil and his companions. Building an action figure of her was a tricky prospect, since her various in-game graphics were in heavy disagreement with themselves. In the game, the character wears both a pink outfit (on the map screen) and a green one (during battle scenes), but I gave preference to the battle sprite since it appears more frequently. I made her out of a Xena: Warrior Princess toy named Callisto, which I didn't have to physically modify much because it already had the right shoulder armor, bare midriff, go-go boots, etc. I added a swivel joint to each arm so she could hold her bow and arrow, which I borrowed from a DC Universe Green Lantern toy. |
