Are there any 30MS kits that give you just a head? Not sure if I want to get a second Tiasha just to have a cute girl and a mecha one at the same time
>>10950731just buy another kit, the spare parts will come in handy one day
>>10950731There's that idolmaster 2-pak with just heads and hair - but that costs as much as a whole girl. Otherwise hair can be bought separately (usually in 4 packs), and nowadays you get blank faceplates, head and neck with most everything 30MS.
>>10950736I have too many bodies than I know what to do with now...Also fucking Neverlia, I bought her again just for the high heels
Painting Durga 1's hair right now. What are you guys working on this weekend?
>>10950797Just finished a Durga I actually. Building a swimsuit SST Madoka now. Something simple as a pallet cleanser after all that armor.
>>10950797Gotta detail paint Gene. She needs some gold and green.
>>10950797Giant enemy demon crabgirl (organic, not robotic like we usually see out of monster girl customs). I've had her customized and built up for months, but the weather's been too shitty for airbrushing till the past day or two.
>>10950797Clearing my 30MS boxes. Got a bad habit of removing the few parts I need from the runners and leaving the rest to sit in the box.
>>10950797Working on 30MS Face Plates for one of my Vivienne Hayna customs.
>>10950823>:)>|o>8O
>>10950823speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil
>>10950797Just started snipping up a Durga 2 actually, love her big ponytail. Otherwise just waiting for some bits on a non-dolly model to dry so I can paint that up tomorrow evening.
>>10950797gonna start working on my Sitara Kaneshiya
In a couple of days
Let me repost...So how do you think would you assemble a Punisher out of the Combat Cell and Grave Arms (like the one used by Exorcist Widow)? I imagine how the coolest weapon from Trigun could be wielded by any Machineca girl the best way.
Finished my first Sosai Shojo Teien kits last night and I have a question. Do only the face plates that come with these fit on Megalomaria or are there any other parts that can swap out of the box? I'd like to know if I can use a Megalomaria arm and leg to do something like make Yuki a cyborg.
>>10950731The hand set for 30MS give heads of color an and b but no faces or hair. It’s the only set that is going to get as close as you want at about $10ish
>>10951028Novice is so sexy.
>>10951068Depends on how accurate you want it to be.If you want something that's just similar, then just drill a hole in the middle of grave arms and slap a handle in it and call it a day.If you want 100% accuracy, then print one out on a 3d printer.Also, iirc pop up parade figures are around the same size so you can buy the figure and take the gun.
>>10951095>The hand set for 30MS give heads of color an and bIsn't it only A?
>>10951160I looked it up and it's just A but using an A neck and head bit isn't going to be very noticeable on a B color girl
>>10950731https://1999.co.jp/m/11073255This is coming later this year but you'll still need hair parts. There is also the option body sets 6 and up which all come with a full head and hair
>>10951090You can use the head, arms and legs, but swapping the legs looks like shit.
>>10951241Seeing as they're advertising the lolis, the legs must be smaller than the Black and White tights set
>>10951280>all Rishetta diameter torsosLol
>>10951280>lolisI wish, but 30MS doesn't have lolis yet
>>10950736>>10950765>>10951095>>10951235Thanks for the suggestions. I jumped the gun too early and got another Tiasha+hand set. Maybe I can cancel her and just keep the hands, if not having another Tiasha doesn't hurt. Just need to order a hair set from Aliexpress because the ones I like are sold out>>10951241I didn't Pre-order these because I didn't like the color.
>>10951304>looks at Lirinel and LaranelWat
>>10951365Those aren't lolis, this one is loli size. Besides, the torso separation on the bunnies sucks
>>10950797nothing. all my plamo are 150+ miles away. I live vicariously through these threads until my lease expires :CThough first thing I'll do once I'm back is finish the flame toys Windblade kitbash I was working on.
>>10951369No, if Lirinel and Laranel aren't loli, then Mao isn't either. Especially since she ends up bigger than them.
>>10951127The Grave Arms already had a handle and a rotary disc. Maybe the joints on the sub-arm that can hold the shields can attach to the sides of each box for the Combat Cell.
>>10951465>The Grave Arms already had a handle and a rotary discWell yeah, but the actual punisher has the handle inside the gun, not outside.It's not that hard too.
updated 30ms amana pageshttps://bandai-hobby.net/item/6025/box art with skin color is new?
>>10951280Pretty sure those are the same limb parts you can get in A, B, C, white and black already
>>10951512Skin colour is written on the boxes of the normal releases but they're probably trying to convey it better like they do with option sets
>>10950929thought i'd try giving the hair runner a coat of 4y/o munitorum varnish, and it seems to have worked nicely.
>>10951448it's more than just the height, it's about the proportions too
i've always thought it was important to get ahead in life.
>>10951694"who set this thing on head games?"
Dear lord! These faces are the best of Arcanadea yet. Every single makes for a strong amtosphere. I thought Lumitea had pretty weak expressions and Velretta had just right. But these are fantastically bratty.
>>10951909very good selection
>>10951909Heres the detailed blog/vid. Comes out on 17th. https://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/blog3/arcanadea/article/detail/18/https://www.youtube.com/live/cuMvYzuhkL8?si=L33VHDP7VVgwmtNP&t=8617
>>10951912Also shows the next one.>that tummy
>>10951909Meh, Velretta and Elena have better expressions. These are fine for a sinister nee-san type character, but Velretta's dull panic face is too good.
>>10951920BIG
Holy fuck how do i stop buying kits? I'm still yet to finish the ones i own and the boxes keep piling up
>>10951946relatablethey're the dangerous combination of affordable and quality...and with enough investment they become even better than figures 4x-10x their price...
>>10951932Boobies bros are eating good.
Does anyone have links to the shinki/megami device discord servers? I think I left on accident, that or they died
>>10952030I wish 30MS had kits like this but they're all fairly flat, even the larger ones.
>>10952030damn she legit looked better from the back...
>>10952063Her "armored" chest plate is better, I think.>>10952060They've chosen a different demographic. I guess I should be glad though, I really don't need more kits to buy. I'm already one with >>10951946. Fortunately, the only ones that have been really tempting in proportion are the bigger Im@s girls and I have the imagination of an amoeba so I like my girls to come fully equipped.
>>10952079yeah that's a lot better
>>10951946The Japanese yen nosediving has really swelled my box fort. Gotta agree with >>10951954 that with how cheap and high quality girlpla is it's hard to stop. I only just started and I've realized that I'll never dent my backlag if I try to paint everything, so I'm going to be much lazier and only paint hair, metal, and obviously uncolored pieces on all but my favorite kits.
>>10951629so we all agree Mao isn't a loli
>>10952235The best you can call her loliBBA.
>>10952079>bigger Im@s girlsThe largest has yet to come
>>10952251Holy shit! Japan finally delivers an actual tall girl?! In an Im@s game of all places?! How does that even happen?
>>10952030>>10952079The hair is definitely going to need a little paint to make it 'pop' more, but otherwise she looks pretty great. Honestly, the more I see of her, the more I like it.>>10951946No idea, bro, but if you figure it out, let me know - I can hardly get into my own closet at this point, and people will probably be finding unbuilt kits squirreled away in my house long after I die.
>>10952314Yeah, sculpt is great but it'll definitely need paint/detail work to be really fantastic.
Am I going to be able to PO this with the special hair parts as a dirty American, or am I shit out of luck? I tried to see if I could use a proxy with the Koto JP shop and the proxy told me they can't work with Koto.
>>10952286lurkmoar
>>10951909>>10952030>>10952349Bratty? Call that slutty.By the way, you can access Koto shop in English language, but can't ship outside Japan with bonus parts. So yeah.
>>10952349I got the Lumitea Re:ACT with bonus hair off of USAGS when she came out, so I imagine they'll have this gal too.
>>10952314Giving some love for all of these arcanadea kids just makes them look much better, not that they look terrible. Added silver panel lining to my Lumitea React A, painted in the gems and it looks fantastic. Waiting for my silver markers to repaint her silver armour parts too. Painted some parts of Velretta with a crappy gold paint and while i have to redo it, it really makes it look better, because the bronze plastic is kind of meh. Will try to paint some of them metallic bronze + gold. (And colored in the gems and ear rings based on the promo shots)Soffiera really will need some detailing on her corset area imo. Maybe coloring the strings and corset rim.
>>10951909I need her to pair her up with Velretta.>>10951929I can make a scene of Soffiera bullying Velretta.
So what's the difference between the named archer/ninja kits and the unnamed ones? Kizuna and kaname vs just archer and ninja
>>10952251Thank you for reminding me why I love Cinderella Girls so much. It's got all the best girls.
>>10952744Kizuna and Kaname are upgrades of the old Archer and Ninja using tech from the AUV bodies of Susanowo, Amaterasu, and Tsukuyomi, in universe and out. The internals should be identical to the guts of the L type md bodies.I think shizuoka hobby show is in less than a month, so maybe fingers crossed we see AUV Amaterasu finally.
Guys; a tiny brown shortstack followed me home.Wat do?
>>10953168Make her some curry and have her do an elephant cosplay.
>>10953168Also, you gotta clean up those panel lines on her flesh parts, way too thick. Something brown would be better too.
>>10953189that 'was' a brown gundam marker, as it happens; but i'll give her cleft a swab with the IPA
>>10953168Throw her out in the trash.
>>10953168remove the molasses stuck between her bosom
>>10953168Give her lots of headpats and let her ride on your shoulder.
>>10953168Carry her around.
Are there any other series of mecha musume besides 30ms, kotobukiya ones and nuke matrix worth checking out?
>>10953220but that's not Stylet
>>10951920if they're following a pattern then another foxgirl soon? I still haven't grabbed Yukumo...
>>10953589The patern is angel, demon, and beast. The next girl is a lamia.
>>10953579A.T.K. girl is hit or miss for me as far as quality VS age. They are getting better over time. Later models like Frankenstein/Elizabeth are good but the green white and yellow turtle girl's face is just bad. They require a little more effort as well because of the undergating and I usually need to thin cement flesh parts together and shave off seam lines and sand so the thighs and shoulders don't pop off when using. I think robot parts are great but skin parts are lacking. I'm just using the robot stuff on my 30ms. Value wise you basically get 2 full girl kits for the price of the kit so the value is there for me. The extra parts are nice to use to upgrade or supplement other kits as well.
>>10953579I'm also digging the shorty BigFireBird kits. Chicken girl was a fun build but I still had to thin cement her thigh and shoulder parts. Stag Beetle girl coming up looks great.https://twitter.com/Phoenix_BFB/status/1778364483469259193
>>10953579Later A.T.K Girls are pretty decent. Though, even their earlier kits have lots of cool parts- the faceplates are just mediocre. Dark Advent are REALLY fun. Isis in particular is better than most kits out there
>>10953651>>10953617Blasphemy. Atk girls started getting their shit together after Baihu came out with downs. Xuanwu looks a bit crazy eyed, but it looks fine in person. After that all the rest are about on par with a mid range quality kit, though Benandanti is a bit jank.That said, Qing Long is probably my favorite of their kits, with Titians and Xuanwu as close seconds.
>>10953868I've was looking at Qing Long and Fenrir earlier today because their price dropped about $20 on Amazon. I really want to get the phoenix girl though so I'm waiting for her price to drop.I thought Xuanwu looked fine on paper and got her after a $20 price drop last week but in person those crazy eyes came through. Glad she came with blank faces so I can fix that right up. I kinda want to make her a Kappa because of the theming. I ordered Heibai Wuchang a week or so ago and I'm waiting for them to come in from gundamit. Been looking into the lore and love their grim reaper status.
>>10953633who is the blonde one, I like her body type, dem hips
>>10953206Brown never looks good for shading butts or boobs because it looks like poop. I'm not an art expert but when I'm painting minis I go for a reddish-purplish colour generally. You can go more pinkish-reddish for lighter skin tones and tend more towards purplish for darker skin tones. Although that's probably not something you can do properly with just a marker either anyway because unless you mix colours or glaze it into the shadows it will look super stark.
Lewd
Whew! Snagged 2 Sofierras at the last minute.
>>10953916"Full Time Himeka Kelly Jarnett" from BigFirebird Build. Stupid name, but super fun kit. Also retardedly cheap. Like 3K JPY or something like that.
>>10953929really going to bank on a USAGS preorder otherwise I'm just not going to get one. I really want those hair parts, so I'd rather not PO without them. I'll just play the aftermarket if USAGS doesn't get the hair parts
>>10953929FUCK. I never even got a chance - I just got home from work. She couldn't have been up for more than an hour, right?
>>10953956I bet you’re right. What’s strange about Arcanadea is their preorders usually sell-out super fast and then they’re readily available with plenty of stock once they’re actually released. A little strange to limit preorders so severely if you’re just going to have a bunch of extras post-release. Not that I’m complaining about that, but I’m not sure what the benefit to Koto is to have such limited preorder amounts.
This one sold out fast.
>>10953868Quing Long smiling face looks pretty dumb and I find it quite funny.
>>10954001The white hair doesn’t look that good
>>10954008Well the alternate hair isn't for her anyway.
>>10953956I thought it was today this evening. Damn time zone differences. Missed her, and was planning on setting an alarm this evening. But it was earlier. BooLooks Like I’ll Grab a preowned off ami in a few months.
>>10954021It was literally as soon as the clock hit midnight. Koto's site, HLJ, Amiami, and Hobbysearch all were wiped out in minutes. She hasn't shown up on BBTS or USAGS yet, with the former probably not seeing her until after she officially releases.
>>10951047>>10951050>>10951243>>10951248>>10951253Damn bro thanks for posting this, i missed it in the previous thread(4chan ate my post, hope it won't be a doublepost somewhere)
>>10953932>Full Time Himeka Kelly Jarnettthat's some bullshit telephone translation from CN->JP->ENhere's the actual box.
>>10954026I’ve signed up to reminder emails and I’ll look at other ones. There a place in my country that gets stuff a few months after Japan. I’ll also look at Amazon jp
>>10953633man if i got any atk girl it would be turtle girl xuanwu just because I wanna pose her with the giant gun. is the face really that bad?
didn't realize this pumpkin girl was from Snail Shellor that she was a figure instead of a model kithttps://twitter.com/wozhike/status/1775351877812838795
>>10954008>>10954011Her hair is supposedly gray or silver. You have to paint that color yourself.
one dose of IPA and now she's giving me this look.
>>10954026How likely are they to do a secondary preorder? Like they sold an allocation and there is demand so make another 10k or however they do it. I had a similar issue with susanowo but grabbed her on ami after she sold out while still a preorder.I have all the others, I’d hate to miss this one.
>>10954101HLJ will pretty frequently put in a second wave for things. It's not guaranteed, but it's more often than not.>>10954085Much better, anon. Much better. >>10954040Oh thank goodness. That's much better. I kind of just glanced over the box, so I never noticed it was proper there.
>>10954109All the Arcanadea girls so far have had a second wave shortly after the initial release too
>PLAMAX Guilty Pruncess Maidroid AliceShould i get this one? I'm a sucker for girlpla, maids and Alice in Wonderland but the plamax discussion in the previous thread made me doubt
>>10954101She's up on USAGS and BBTS right now - no preorder bonus, though (that I can see).
what are we thinking boyspersonally i'm not jumping to grab her...as the first plamatea that's the only thing exciting about it in my opinion
>>10954251Yeah, had a look thanks. I’m based in the UK since found her for £66 plus postage but December release.She’d be £45 on hobby search but you have shipping. So it’s about the same price. Might see if she gets added to Amazon tomorrow and if not I’ll just buy the December UK version.
First time trying to paint a kit and I'm getting kind of overwhelmed, its plamax isis. What's the general workflow, paint every single part and then assemble, make sub-assemblies like arms torso legs and then paint?
>>10953633These look pretty cool. I like the cape. Is there a good Japanese store to get these chink kits in stock? I don't want to pay burger prices if I can and AmiAmi and hlj seem to not have much in stock.
>>10952349Come on, man.>but what if I want to swap to whiteNo you won't.
>>10954309Dunno. Got mine for $38.99 on Amazon Prime. It was a few bucks more than Gundamit at the time. It is $45 at the time of this posting and no longer prime and was this price before I bought it. I added to honey droplist and just waited.
>>10954251>no PO bonusfuck, well I was only gonna get it from USAGS if I could get that bonus. Oh well, guess I’ll just hunt for her after release.
>>10954311For real though... the extra price on the bonus parts could just buy you a can of krylon to just fix the shit yourself...>>10954284Depends on what your doing. What are you trying to do?
>>10954309buying from jap stores will be more expensive than CN or burger stores, you're adding a whole extra shipping trip and middleman.i buy chinese kits from gundamit which is based in china but has free shipping to USsometimes aliexpress has good deals but often stores there charge too much for shipping
>>10954311but white is 10x better than p*nk hair
>>10954351>>10954321I see, thanks anons. The selection of chink kits on JP sites is awful anyways. I hope I can find some of the some of the older bigfirebird models in stock elsewhere as the designs are cute.
>>10954251>BBTS Fuck off retard.
>>10954357
>>10954357Are they that bad? I just pre-ordered a kit from them earlier today.
>>10954309I recently got mine for 24 burger pesos from Ali. Got the pink cape sadly.
>>10954015OMG, who cares, give me Kuon already Koto
>>10954439Only bad thing I've found about BBTS are the pre-orders. It is nice that there is no deposit but it takes them months to get and send out items that have already been released. I'm still waiting for 2 Vivienne Hayna bikini kits from them and I've already gotten 6 of the kits from Japan, California, and Amazon US. I'd give anything you pre-order from them at least a 3 month window from the release date they first had listed.
>>10954439>>10954488They're typically the slowest american store to get stock. Sometimes they're cheaper due to the flat shipping but it's not often. They're typically my last resort store if I'm looking for something.>>10954487This. This is the girl I want to have with katanas and rifles.
>>10954488Theres a guy on ali selling the vivienne kits for around 38 funbux without the box/cardboard backdrop. Waiting on her to get here, already paid like 80 for another one when she came out....
>>10954487>Herro, Kagura
>>10954488I'm still waiting on my rg zeong last shooting!
>>10954439They're not bad - if anything, they're fairly reliable and show you the full price of the item you're paying for (rather than places like Amiami and HLJ, who tack on the shipping AFTER you've already ordered and cranking up the price significantly from what was listed). The only thing about BBTS is that they're fairly slow, usually behind by a few months - but I've ordered from them for years, and never had them abruptly cancel an order on me for stupid shit like the other sites. They also tend not to pull hissy fits over cancellations, whereas Amiami, HLJ, and HobbySearch will all issue bans for doing it three or more times.Whatever kit you ordered, you can rest assured you'll definitely get it - it just may be a month or two after everyone else already gets theirs.
Also forgot - there's a resident troll who literally combs every thread on the board for any mention of BBTS just so he can bitch about them - not because they're bad, but because he's a third-worlder who's pissed that Americans can get shit that's usually exclusive for close to the original asking price while his own country doesn't offer a similar service, forcing him to get slammed with the massive shipping fees. Just ignore him - he literally has no life and an eternal rage-boner, and will make shit up just to try to dissuade people from using them.
>>10954564Nah you fucking retard, I keep telling you Americans it's jus funny to see the reactions and essays written because of how brand loyal you are to a dumb website and take buying this shit like it's a sport. But go ahead continue to ignore this explation and keep writing paragraphs like the retard you are, kek
>>10954554>fairly reliable and show you the full priceLet's not lie now. I have no issues with BBTS, but let's not praise and shill them to the ends of the earth. They still have shipping fees and taxes. It's just that your import sites you've listed have higher shipping fees, cause they're fucking international.
>>10954554>>10954618Bandai prices are around the same as most places. The ones that are inflated are koto and Chinese kitsCompare KongoBBTS: 99.99$USAGS: 79.99$ (not to mention almost every couple weeks there's a mecha musume 15% discount)
>>10954051Good for you, slowpoke
Cosmic Break is having a collab with Nidy's Titania girls.https://twitter.com/beyond_the_2D/status/1780550513731440720?t=VNHV8uo0efxlsUpr2Bkehg&s=19
>>10954439their prices are shit, the people who think they're "good" are dummies like >>10954554 who think it's a good idea to buy everything direct from japan and pay out the ass for international shipping with no consolidationthere are plenty of other burgerland online stores with better prices and no jp shipping. I don't know about other countries though.
>>10954439If they have something in, you'll get it. If it's a preorder, god help you.Their prices swing wide, so check other stores before committing to purchases - sometimes they price gouge, sometimes you can get a deal.
Instead of bitching around wouldn't it be a better idea to just pool our resources and experiences to make a purchase guide since the general seems to be lacking one?>But other generals and boards already have guides on where and how to buyYeah, yeah, sure but its always a good idea to have a more specific one depending on the shit you plan to get.Like the bonuses that some kits come with or places that put preorders up later in case you missed something.I mean shit, i pretty much only use surugaya to buy stuff but i never see it being discussed, ive never felt like i got a bad deal on anything but maybe im just retarded and id like to get called out
>>10954335For this kit I just want to paint the non-skin parts. I guess I can start assembling and not push the parts all the way and see from there
>>10954528The shipping is what tempted me, but looking around I was able to find a cheaper offer. The Japanese stores already stopped taking preorders. Thanks anon.
>>10954741Can't wait for Suzaku to come out to finish off my Four Auspices/Four Lords (and so I can complete Huanglong, though he's not very yellow). Should be around the end of the month, right?
>>10954821>i pretty much only use surugaya to buy stuff but i never see it being discussed, ive never felt like i got a bad deal on anything but maybe im just retarded and id like to get called out>im just retardedYes. Yes you are. Double so if you're using English Suruga. Just head over to buyfag and see what they say.It's not to say you cannot find some hidden items there, but it is far from my recommended list>make a purchase guideMaybe I'm jaded from buyfag, but no one on this autistic site reads guides.>>But other generals and boards already have guides on where and how to buyThat's correct, combine Gunplamo's and /a/'s Buyfag and you cannot go wrong.
>>10955034I thought she was out?
>>10955084>Yes. Yes you are. Double so if you're using English Suruga. Just head over to buyfag and see what they say.I lurked buyfag for a while and the most remarkable things i saw was that eventually someone just says that the free shipping is back up, as far as i understand most people use it for books or some old shit they only found there. But i mean idk man, i sometimes feel like im insane, i mean i just got an innocentia racer for like 4k yen, how is that a bad deal?I compare a few sites and shipping always fucks me up and that is going with the cheapest non boat option.Like maybe some sites would be cheaper if i could combine shit and only ship them once but then, my country's customs would fuck it with taxes.>it is far from my recommended listThen give me your recommended list dude, don't just say yeah. Fucking take me out of my own ignorance man.>Maybe I'm jaded from buyfag, but no one on this autistic site reads guides.I do, i compiled from a few of the boards/generals/other sites to give myself a nice little cheat sheet, but i will give you that i only check those because IM autistic.Maybe i just see everything as a good deal since the cunts in my country charge 2x-3x the price of all kits.
time to put the loli's face decals on all your kits
>>10955084english suruga is free shipping to USA while jp suruga requires you to go through the huge song and dance of setting up a forwarder and shit which is NOT worth it unless you're regularly buying shit like figis that are only sold in japan (like most of buyfag)likewise for other stores like hlj, the sticker prices are low but international shipping prices means they just aren't worth it if you're buying one item at a time, they're only good if you can save on shipping by sticking a bunch of boxes at once. you've gotta consider the difference between "normal person just buying 1 item at a time" and "spends 2 hours per day shitposting in buyfag and buys a shipment full of figures every month"the math is also different in buyfag just because figures are more expensive relative to their size/shipping compared to model kit boxes
>>10955131NTA, but only the other three are out already (and Genbu and Byakko both have V2 releases). Suzaku is listed as 'coming April 2024' everywhere I've checked (namely HLJ, HobbySearch and Amiami).
>>10955158Those are some cute mouths
>>10955158>loliwhere?
>>10955213check the last thread's OP >>10935503
>>10955150Oh I forget cause in my mind america #1. So maybe for you it's not so bad. But I don't have any recommendations for non burgs>>10955162The thing with english suruga is that if you compare the prices, they're jacked up vs the JP side. At least they did that during the first few times of the free shipping weekend. But you have a point with different viewpoints since I might just be amipilled
>>10955244that's just a random BLADE's girl, not a loli
>>10955247>The thing with english suruga is that if you compare the prices, they're jacked up vs the JP sideThat's true, i just view it as the shipping price being wrapped up in the total figure (idk why anyone would ever order from suruga EN without a free shipping promo though)same thing happens if you look on aliexpress for chinese kits like Nuke Matrix, kits with "free shipping" will usually have a base price 10 or more dollars higher than the ones that charge for shipping. sometimes one is better sometimes the other is. I've never bought shit from amiami though so I can't speak to that
>>10955249what's the difference
>>10955158>Bratty wink>Closed eyes kissy face>Shut up and take my money.jpgWould have been nice to include thses options with the kit, but they've correctly guessed that I'll pay another 850 JPY for these. Any idea when Puni Mofu rabbit is going up? Really digging this line.
>>10955258Anons point is that Blades artstyle makes characters look much younger than they actually are.Blade loves Ayaka, he has tons of art. Looking at the art you'd think she's way younger than the 14 she actually is.As for Mao, she's taller than the shortest 30ms girls, and chitocerium has set the bar for 100% actual loli.
>>10955488>chitoceriumI'd heard of the line before but a lot of the recent releases have been kind of boring. Nobody told me they had cute cat lolis, though. Thanks for the tip, Anon.

>>10954001I’ve been autisticly checking ami, hobby search, HLJ and Amazon periodically since yesterday. About 2 hours ago she was back in stock on HLJ so I ordered her. Seems sold out again now.Maybe people cancelled orders or they cleared out shipments to same address. Either way wooo, I got one.
I fucked up the topcoat on my model. I did multiple coats from too far away, and now the surface looks rough and uneven. Can i fix this with a thicker coat or should i remove it with alcohol?
>>10955526loli cat zombies at that… I still haven’t built mine.
>>10955483I can't afford shit right now and also have no room to put more models on, so I'll have to watch people play with theirs on twitter.
>>10955162Can Surugaya take pre-paid credit cards? Their FAQ doesn't answer anything about it?
Did they just announce a Sosai SjojoTeien/Frame Arms girl blank body or is this a custom thing?https://twitter.com/SOUSAI_official/status/1780559019398295647
>>10955793Yeah, they're doing a blank SST body for dress up and customization.
>>10955793They announced them a while ago
>>10955872hairy leg
>>10956004UPGRADE
>>10955488>Anons point is that Blades artstyle makes characters look much younger than they actually are.yeah it makes them look like lolisi dont give a shit about canon
>>10956004Somehow she reminds me of the alice girl aegis designs. And not in a good way
>>10956084>i dont give a shit about canonCanon is the only thing that counts, though. If you took an old hag and had BLADE draw them in his art style, it doesn't change the fact that they're actually an old hag, regardless of how much younger his chibi/moe style makes them look.
>>10956101Anon... other anon is just saying Blade's designs are lolis, not that his personal lolified rendition of someone else's character replaces or truthfully represents the canon rendition of a said character. Blade makes lolis. That's all. It doesn't matter if they're his characters or someone else's- his renditions are lolis.
>>10954015cute as fuck
her shoes are nice but the rest doesn't really do anything for me
>>10956004Ugly face
>>10956132i actually like her face
>>10956087>criticizing BaselardYou bastard...
>>10954439they're just really, really slow.I ordered a MG Kampfer from them and it took 8 months to show up.I had completely forgot I even ordered it and then on Dec 23rd it showed up on my doorstep kek.I would choose any other retailer desu
>>10956119Right, this character is totally a loli because BLADE drew her.BLADE's art style isn't 'loli', which is specifically child characters - it's 'chibi moe', which is super-deformed cutesy characters. Hence why a 27+ year-old tittymonster catgirl can be drawn in his style and look young while still not being considered a 'loli'. It's an entire genre of art, and people can't seem to understand that chibi does not equal loli.
>>10956229some people truly believe Megumeme is a loli...
>>10956535I'd say so, she has the proportions of Uran's lolis.At a time even Lum was considered 'loli'. I dont get anal about the description unless its egregiously not desu
>>10956571Good for you, shame the world doesn't revolve around you and words have meaning.
>>10956605? I mean, are the girls in "I'm not a lolikon" not lolis?
>>10955521Another megalomaria with no Kuon in sight. Kotobukiya needs to stop with the blueballing and give us best girl.
>>10956690

>>10956698Am I getting the robot or the girl?Cause I want the robot>>10956700She has a very nice butt. Also a new movie. Which is why we have new merch
>>10956713it looks like you're getting both
What do you do for storing spare parts like hands and that? I used to just toss them in my desk drawer but as I have gotten more kits I need another solution
>>10956733I at least recommend 4+ boxes. 3 for each skin tone. C you could tell but A/B will be hard, at least for me since I work in low light areas.I have about 4 of these containers. This one is all 30m stuff. I have one for gunpla, koto, and 3rd party
>>10956733I just reuse 30MM option parts boxes for smaller pieces, then boxes for large HGs or MGs I reuse for larger parts or half-finished kitbashing projects.
>>10956713>Am I getting the robot or the girl?Moderoid made the robot, Plamatea made the girl. Looks like you get both>>10956700New movie, nice butt
It's taken at least a decade, but I finally got my hands on one of my grails - Oorbellen Lunara, NIB. Other than her hips being a little loose (an issue I had with my original Oorbellen as well), she's in excellent condition - I was fully expecting some of her white to have yellowed with age, but she's pristine. At long last, my Zielbellen Amethyst has her sister.Semi-related note, but does anyone know of any new bodies that would fit a Shinki head? I was wondering if there was some way to 'upgrade' my Shinki collection, since not all of them are faring so well with time.
>>10956753Another shot, just to show her off.
about 145mm
>>10956756

i like it, but i'm a huge sucker for saitom designs
>>10956876I don't like the ass and the head is too big, also tits not big enough.
>>10957320The tits look big on the side so maybe it's a shading issue. The ass is sad, but not a sin
Cool legs; Very Ebikawa. Always loved his work on 00 Gundam.
>>10956753Man, girpla has come such a long way since then in such a short time.
Ive got a weird, kind of OT question for any anons willing to help. I bought a nice little wooden deck/patio for my girls. Its bare wood, and I want to stain/seal it. Can anyone suggest some good stain and sealer? Every time ive ever tried to stain something, it always ends up looking shitty, and then the stain ends up rubbing off on my hands or other things. Any help would be appreciated.
>>10957417technically not girlpla but i think the busou shinki have a certain charm that no girlpla has ever matched
>>10957375Good job on fixing that cleavage shade!Also, holy shit - Laetitia has two blank faces in the box.... BY DEFAULT!
>>10957470Hresvelgr Invert comes with a full set of blank skintone faceplates too, and a blank grey one to boot.
>>10956753fit in what way? not sure if the joints are compatible out of the box but as long as the proportions match you could always do some surgery with cement/glue/etc to attach them to the neck parts from a MD/30MS kit
>>10956954>i like it, but i'm a huge sucker for saitom designsso you like it because looks nothing like Saitom art?
>>10957579>fit in what way?Like, my Lirbiete's neck literally spilt down the side, effectively permanently decapitating her; likewise, my Partio has her screws so rusted they're impossible to remove and have stained her torso in a few places. I haven't gone through my entire collection, but I know most of them are worse for the wear at this point, so if there was some way to transfer their heads over to new bodies, I may still be able to salvage them - it's one thing to have broken armor bits, but when their actual bodies are falling apart it's not so easily ignored.The problem, however, is that I'm pretty sure the neck pegs (what sized are those, exactly?) don't fit onto any known modern girlpla body, so I'm not sure what I could do to make that work. I'd settle for a blank Figma or similar body if they'd fit - all that would need is a little paint, even if it means their armor would no longer be compatible with them. I just want to do SOMETHING to salvage them - it would be a shame to have to finally get rid of my gals after all these years.
>>10957649>The problem, however, is that I'm pretty sure the neck pegs (what sized are those, exactly?) don't fit onto any known modern girlpla bodythat's why i'm saying you should be able to take apart the heads and kitbash a newer more-compatible neck in
>>10957649>the pegs don't fit modern girlplaAnon, yes they do. There are modern Shinki kits.
>>10957722
Quick question, do the SOL Megami reprints phase out the classic hip joint bar or at least strenghtened it?

Can't wait to get my hands on the two
>>1095812430MS noob here, is there paint in this pic or do color A and B not differ too greatly? Isn't that kit color A and the option body on the right color B? Do the colors match fairly well? I only have color A so far.
>>10958455left has a more yellow undertone (asian girl) and right has a more pink undertone (white girl)
>>10958216lewdest idol
>>10958457the left is color B right and the right is color A? At least those are the colors of the option bodies. My question was more about the head though. Isn't the face from a kit that is color A? I'm just saying that they blend pretty well for being what I think are different colors. I kind of want the option body on the right, but held off because I only have color A. Now I guess I'll get it if they blend well together without paint.
>>10958419holy shit, where? mine from HLJ was £44
i wonder when will amiami send me a bomb given how often i combine orders
>>10958480Not that Anon, but Cross Frame Star GaoGaiGar and Goldy are about £78 before shipping on HLJ.
>>10958476It's probably a lighting trick. The skin tones aren't super different in the first place, so in the right lighting I can understand how they'd look the same. That said every piece aside the boob flesh is available in both colors, so you could reasonably make both the same color.
I'm really freaking out right now. I was assembling a kit and using tamiya extra thin cement. And like the absolute retard I am I decided to use my teeth to press the two parts together, some liquid managed to overflow and got into my mouth. Now my tongue and mouth feel kinda funny, should I be worried?
>>10958605it literally says "Call your local poison control center if swallowed" on the bottle.
>>10958605What are you doing? You're supposed to offer up a drop of blood to your girls, not your entire life! Can I have your backlog when you die?
>>10958614>Can I have your backlog when you die?Not him, but I'd rather have my kit pile go to a fellow mecha musume enjoyer than to some random thrift store. Or worse, in the trash.
>>10958605This is why you have needle nose pliers.
>>10958605a small amount will not harm an adult, the cement can't even set in your mouth. Just brush the affected areas vigorously and rinse afterwards which you have probably done already by now anyways. In the future, don't eat glue, you actual fucking retard.
>>10958670>plastic cement>setit doesn't set in the first placeit's a solvent that dissolves polystyrene and then evaporates away so the styrene rehardens.the issue is not having their mouth cemented shut it's being fucking poisoned.
>>10958677well I alluded to that in my own post, but the pedantry of fellow hobbysists is always appreciated. The reason that it can't set is that it's not really "glue", of course, but it's commonly referred to as glue so here we are. Still, the point remains, a small amount is not going to harm an adult. If he downed the whole bottle for attention or something, then we'd have a problem.
>>10958682you first, make sure to drink some extra thin cement first tho
>>10958612>>10958605>>10958670fwiw extra thin cement is 50% acetone and 50% butyl acetate, both of which need to be consumed in fairly high levels to cause serious harm. They're not good to consume at all, though. Getting a small amount in your mouth and then rinsing it out shouldn't seriously hurt anon.
>>10958605>I decided to use my teeth to press the two parts togetherare you six years old
>>10958399It's all in the legs.
Haven't been here for like 2-3 years. Has that flip fucker with the hornet finally died? Is it safe to use the thread again?

>>10958867I miss him. His posts were so wholesome! Wholesome Hornet!
>>10954277It's Miku, at any given second there's like a billion of them on sale, who cares. The only good point to it is that since it's the first Plamatea they can screw things up with her and improve for the later girls that are actually interesting.
>>10959170I want bandai to make a 30MS migu. They already have a labo
>>10959179Avatar Fumina started a good trend being a 30MS compatible, we might see a stinky Miku in the line someday. I really hope Bandai realizes what a Gold mine they're sitting on and release more girls like that. Or Gundam mecha Girls, now that would be a money printing machine
