Hey, so it's been a busy holiday season in our house. That aside, I've also been hard at work on developing my Lena figure. So far I've got her torso, head, and arms modeled up in both Automata and [Cloak()] versions. I'm really happy with how she's turning out so far.

So far, I've test printed her Cloaked torso and arms with success on my Elegoo Mars 2 Pro 3D printer:

She looks pretty buff, I might have to tone some of that down... or maybe not, it'll be covered with clothes eventually anyway. I also printed out her head but the parts wouldn't assemble properly at all and I'll have to rework the parts a bit. Still, things look promising.
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
I'm currently considering 2 things in regard to this figure. The first of which is to have her alongside Prime on the cover of book 5. Since the covers all have photos of a physical toy of Prime, it stands to reason that I have to also have a physical toy of Lena if she's going to get any cover time.
The second thing, is that I'm considering running a contest for you loyal folks that have stuck with me for so long and will be giving away some figures. I'm thinking of giving away a total of 6 figures spread across 4 prizes for no particular reason. Top prize would be a Prime and Lena figure at 1:6 scale, second would be Prime and Lena at 1:10 scale, and third and forth would get 1:10 Prime figures.
I haven't worked out what all the rules would be just yet, but probably something along the lines of "follow @wulongtoys on twitter, w/ a RT for a contest post, or leave an honest review on RR (or comment on announcement chapter saying you've already reviewed)" though the announcement will be in a current chapter note or in the discord so only those that are up to date on the story will see it to reward you for sticking with me.
All that said, I haven't completed the figure yet or worked out her clothing situation yet so it's all very much in the realm of whims and brainstorming at the moment.
Okay, back to regular chapter updates next week! Have a wonderful new years!
