Recently, while searching for cheap and cool items to buy in Ebay, I get past some expensive miniature mannequins. They are not your typical anime action figures as they don't wear clothes nor have faces.
At first, I thought they were templates of an anime figure. Ready for some hair, paint, and clothing. I also suspected that you dip it in plastic, get it into mold, have it painted and voila!
Then, I needed to remind myself that an anime figure of the same size costs lesser compared to this. Silly me.
So I got too curious and ordered one from this store in Amazon. They sell it for a cheaper price.
Before we go ahead, keep it mind that body kun is a male figure while body chan is its female version. For an anime fan, this explanation is no longer needed.
Body Kun
Body Chan
The general instruction or description says that with multiple poses of body kun, it should help you with the process of sketching, story-telling and other pieces of artwork.
In our own words, we could say that body kun and body chan serve as excellent reference for art work especially if you are trying to sketch human-like characters.
Manual Sketching
Body kun figures are life like models designed to mimic different stances. It also comes with a variety of hand gestures and accessories such as sword, gun, and others. The package includes a stand so you can draw easily with one hand free to do other things.
Place the model exactly the way you want it to be using the stand. In the same work table, use it as reference and start sketching. Once done, add more details such as face, hair and clothes. Apply colors if you want to.
Photoshop
Sketching via photoshop, CAD, and other digital drawing tools is a whole lot easier with body kun. Place the model in its stand with the pose you want. Take a photo using your webcam or a phone camera. Upload it to your computer and open it using your drawing app.
Remove the background and start adding details. In just a few, you will arrive with a perfectly-shaped art.
Uses Of Body Kun
Draw your ultimate OC.
Sketch your OTP using body kun and body chan. Fujoshis or yaoi fans can even use two body kuns!
Make the job of drawing human-like or anime easier.
Correct issues with uneven limbs, huge head, and some out of place body parts.
These seven inches tall figures will help you become a better and a more productive artist.
So if you are a noob in sketching, or you want to improve your drawing skills, then body kun is just right for you!

Hunter x Hunter manga will be back on January 29, 2018, under Shonen Jump Issue 9. Just when everyone thought Togashi has left us to ripen without our beloved series, he's coming back with a surprise.
The great news was earlier tweeted by Yonkou Productions:
In the latest chapter (370), we saw Kurapika becoming deeply pitted in the deadly Battle Royale of Kakin Princes. We witnessed nen battles, nen beasts, deaths and there are more to come. We expect the following scenes to take place in the next chapters:
Phantom Troupe gets involved in the Battle Royale
One shocking death of Kurapika's colleague (hired guards, Zodiac, old friend)
More princes deaths including queens
Beyond's team in the expedition
More complex Nen abilities coming out
We don't see that this battle for survival and royalty will come into a conclusion in the next 10 chapters. However, this is going to be one hell of a ride to the Dark Continent.
At the end of chapter 370, the manga team announced that they will go back before the year ends. But even if it's a little bit late, fans are still happy to hear that the mangaka is in good condition. Even the petition to start the anime production to put pressure to Togashi's team received a great amount of dissent. According to social media comments and reactions, most Hunter x Hunter followers agree that Togashi's health comes first.
credits to the owner
Despite the memes going around, they appear to be there just for fun. Maybe fan page admins made it as a way to extract humor and engagement. But still, if they will be asked, Togashi needs to be in a great health condition so he can finish the whole series. Talk about the long term benefits of seasonal breaks.
Fans speculate 10-15 chapters before another hiatus next year. While we don't want to make such assumptions, it's highly likely to happen. And if that day comes again, more will likely understand why.
We wish you better health Togashi-sensei!
But still, it's an awesome time to celebrate. We can smile again!

Scissors
#1 - Be Artistic
Choose a character you want to portray and search for a copy or picture of the gear/costume. Gather the source materials (such as pictures from magazines, internet or books). Scale to the size that you wanted, preferably the one that will fit you. Use a grid system to get the measurements and highlight the edges you want to cut. Next, trace this in a cardboard or foam board and cut it out.
#2 - Laminate The Cardboard Weapon You Will Make
If you want to time and energy, use a foam insulation. This serves as the central core, but if you do not have one it’s still okay. Just continue to add slices until you feel that the main bulk’s right. You can use two layers to the side of the foam to stick it. Use a glue gun for this.
Start adding the details or designs like the panel on the round portions in the front and middle. Fix the edges and glue it to avoid splitting up. For example, you want to make a chainsaw all you need to do is cut as many triangles as possible. Then, stuck for like 4 triangles together at the same time.
Get ready to do the body of the gun and add small details around it after finishing the gun’s body, the designs that you want or the one you want to portray.
#3 - Paint The Costumes
With the armor and the gun, you can now paint it. Do undercoating and prime. Dry brush it in silver. Do this 3-4 times until you satisfied yourself in covering the areas.
#4 - Making A Body Armor
Use a skeletal framework as a base in designing your armor. Then start building it using the shaped cardboard. You can use two foam board to highlight the front and the back. But if you do not have then use cardboard instead.
#5 - Making The Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) Head Gear
Put on a hat
You can choose a cap or a helmet depending on your preference. Take a cap or a helmet to use for the costume.
Paint the cap or helmet
In case your cap or helmet is not color black, paint it with a black spray paint. Put a face mask while applying it. Dry for hours before you proceed to the next step.
Add a chin strap
If you preferred to use a helmet then you might want to put something on it like a chin strap to the bottom.
Cut a piece of black thin cloth stretchable or long enough to extend from ear to ear. Put it on the bottom of the helmet and your chin.
Tape the tail on both ends to the helmet’s bottom about the point of where your ears. Adjust the distance if it loose or too tighten
Wear eye coverings from at home or from a shop
To form the SWAT costume you can use a visor, sunglasses or goggles.
Buy a black frame sunglasses at a store or shop instead of making them on your own. Avoid designer and prescription brands.
#6 - Paint The Sunglasses
If your glasses were not completely black, paint them or use a black marker to cover up those non-black areas. Be careful not to mark or paint the lenses if you do not want it to become unusable. Cover the lenses with a masking tape to ensure it will not get marks.
#7 – Set-Up Goggles Or A Visor
Use those what welders and mechanics as possible. It might be available in your house. But if you do not own one, you can borrow from a neighbor or your friends. If you cannot find or borrow you can just buy for they are inexpensive.
#8 - Fasten The Goggles Or Visor Correctly
It must rest on top of your helmet or hat fix on your helmet without it falling. You can tape some string to the earpieces of visor, sunglasses, and goggles. Cut a bit of a thick yarn or a nylon string. It must extend enough between the back of the earpieces of the eyewear you choose. It must wrap around the hat or helmet and the back of your head.
Put some extra or excess string for you to tie the ends of the earpieces. Leave a small loose to make the eye wear movable.
#9 - Plug Your Ears
Stimulate a radio contact on an earpiece to enjoy yourself while parading your Halloween gear costume. Black earphones can work out on your black outfit. Coil a black wire on the back of your vest to be set up later. To make it look like a corkscrew, twist the string. Use a black electrical tape to attach the end of the wires between the plastic backing of the earpiece and back of the vest.
#10 - Apply Black Glare Eye Color
You can optionally put black lenses to enhance your overall look as a field operative. You can buy it on sporting goods store. Put it using your fingers, below your eyes.
#11 - Apply Camouflage Face Paint
Put a black and green combination to make a camouflage look on your face. Apply the paint carefully on your face skin (cheeks, forehead, and chin) using your hands or a makeup applicator.
#12 - Assembling The SWAT Body Gear
Put on an undershirt that you can comfortably wear. It can be a long or short sleeve shirt.
Pick an undershirt without a logo or print, colored in dark blue or black. To blend your camouflage color.
Pick a vest. Fasten the vest properly. Not too loose nor tight.
Cover your elbows and knees. Coverings add up to your overall get up. Skateboard or black bicycle pads can do, but make sure to wear only uniform colors as to your costume.

Want to celebrate Halloween but don't have enough time for some DIY and craftiness?
We got a quick solution for that problem!
Nowadays, people get busier with work that only kids and grandmas can afford to spend some time together creating things. But as we all know, Halloween decorations may need some very strong muscles and sharp eyesight to get things done. Not to mention that it also requires a little bit of creativity, spookiness, and naughtiness. Otherwise, it's going to be boring.
Well, of course, you can buy through Halloween decorations clearance in Walmart. But there's a problem with that option.
When do Halloween decorations go on sale at Walmart again? Always.
They may sell cheap Halloween props and cheap outdoor Halloween decorations. However, it would suck if you got the same design, costume, and lighting as your neighbor.
We ultimately suggest shopping online instead of the same old items in Walmart Halloween clearance.
You don't need to get into Amazon or Ebay and spend time searching for these items. We scraped the internet and found ten instant Halloween decorations for a busy person like you.
So what's the chance that your neighbor will be getting the same thing? An itsy-bitsy chance. And also, we took flexibility into consideration. You can easily make changes the minute before kids go on trick-or-treating.
First in our list comes this projector from Pearson Products. With this, you can run through different slides for different occasions. A very cool item everyone in the neighborhood would envy. You can use this not just for Halloween, but for Christmas and other holidays as well.
The Holiday Spirit Seasonal Projector can be used indoors and outdoors. It also features a built-in timer and you can run it for more than six hours. You don't have to worry if you forget to turn it off before sleeping or leaving for work.
#2 - These Halloween Ice And Gelatin Molds From Amazon Sellers / Pearson Products
I assume that you already know how ice molds or trays work. Not only you can use them with ice, they are also good with soap, jello shots, chocolate, mini fridge cake and more.
These items are made of thermoplastic rubber and silicone so you don't need to worry about leaking toxins and other unsafe chemicals. Proven safe and durable.
Get this item here >>> Shot Glass Mold from Pearson Products
Just hang these glow in the dark pebbles in trees or cleverly place them on the edges of your patio pavement. You can also use them as eyes and mouth for a pumpkin or walls with the help of a super glue or adhesive.
#5 - Lumistream LED Shower Head From Pearson Products
For a diabolic patio or a demonic backyard, you may need lots of red lights. While fake blood does a good job with smearing white clothes for a gore factor, a fake source may come in handy.
That's where the Red Lumistream LED Shower Head comes in. This feels great while having a shower. But joy, you can also install it outside your home. Just make sure you have a water line outdoors
The execution will fully depend on you. But we suggest to couple it with this hanging bloody body in bag prop.
You can also scatter some fake severed body parts or bloodied stuff in your backyard. Try the following:
You can also use other light colors of this LED shower head. If your theme is alien invasion, maybe you can make use of the green one. But the item from Pearson Products website.
#6 - Ghostly Apparitions From AtmosFear FX Virtual Reality Projector
If you want ghosts, zombies and other scary entities to appear on your walls, windows, doors, floors, or any part of your house, then try this Virtual Reality Projector from AtmosFear Fx.
However, it's not as affordable as the other items here. You can opt for the first item in our list as it also does a good job with projecting slides.
But if you're aiming to impress and turn heads, then this Halloween item is your ultimate choice!
#7 - Ghost Hand LED Lights
Choose the perfect place in your home where you can install and spook everyone with these Ghost Hand Skeleton LED Lights.
#8 - Giant Hairy Spiders
This does not seem new, but it always works! Especially to your friends who are dead-scared of huge spiders. Use it as a hanging decor or for a prank.
Curtains make one big issue during Halloween. If you don't own any cheap curtains at home, then get this Haunted Asylum Curtain before your kids spray fake blood or rip that precious heirloom curtain you got from your great grandmother into pieces.
You can also try the below Halloween-themed curtains:
Not sure if this will help you with Halloween decors. But it all boils down to your creativity or resourcefulness. We just hope that you'd share with us whatever you came up with. Try browsing through the Pearson Products store to see more items that could be of use
But if you still got time for some to do it yourself, then check this list of easy to make DIY Halloween Decorations.
