the price was revealed... will you buy china's Sakura Miku?
>>11284825>$72 model kitfuck no
>>11284878what if it comes with a cool motorcycle?
Almost finished basic fit of my Mao build (just need to find a suitable piece to put in place of the pawprint on the hammer). Combined parts from a Chaos and Pretty Magical Girl and a few spikes from Krakendress Rania to make this, will give her a punk-inspired paintjob once I've cleaned up the remaining nubs and moldlines.Also, got some clothes from Aliexpress today; this 30MS volunteered to model them. They're pretty good, though I had to remove her "panties" to get the shorts on (not that it matters as you can't tell the difference and it actually gives a better range of motion).
>>11284912Also alt-config with single-headed hammer, "buster fist" and the ball-and-chain on the ankle shackle.
>>11284753Are we going to get a new Luluce?
>>11284825>>11284890Is she a kit or a fully made figure? And does she come with the bike, or are there two versions (IE:standard and deluxe)?
>>11284998NVM, im retarded, I see MODEL KIT, FUCK im stupid....
>>11284825A nurse? Is she holding a thermometer?
>>11285101seems she's a delivery girl and it's a barcode scanner
block2-M custom buildhttps://hjweb.jp/article/1801719/
>>11285127Holy shit that's depressing
>>11284825They never show her ass shot,or any ass shot for the their regular miku figure
>>11285248if you search youtube i'm sure you can find some angles
>>11285372Letting your horsegirl graze at her leisure. You're a good Master.
>>11284912>got some clothes from Aliexpress todayDo you have a link? I also want some clothes for MD/30 MS.
>>11285372Man, I adore this kit. I am going to order a couple more if they do a reissue.I can't wait for the snek.
>>11285686I want another one so bad, shes easily my favorite kit of all time. I'd be fine with the usual recolor with different boobs but a substantial retool like a pegasus or unicorn would be cool too. Also in other news Quankai studio is making a Headless Horsewoman/Dullahan Centaur https://m.weibo.cn/u/7752925420?luicode=10000011&lfid=1005052207101993
>>11285661I bought from a few different sellers; Game Club Model Toys, Model Room and Fantasy World Model. They seem pretty good quality, the fishnets were a little fiddly and feel slightly fragile but that seems more like a natural consequence of the scale.
Green stuff/Milliput copy, exhibit A.
>>11285891What'd you make the mold for the copy out of? Oyumaru or some such?
>>11285955"Blue Stuff", from what I recall, it's the same as "oyumaru", simply in blue shade. I overall copy few parts for custom project, can't decide on which one to use but since mold making takes a lot of time, I use my current paid vacations for that.
Act Mode? These feel like sort of a miss for me. The figures are larger scale and don't articulate or look that great although pre assembled and painted compared to a figma. The paint and details are clean but hey just seem kind if generic to me. The plamo parts are kind of boring too on this one.
Not really hugely impressed with this desu. Wasp girl has been done better and this kit just doesn't make alot if sense. There's a big revolver that plugs into the wasp when it's not connected to the girl so it's also a flying revolver wasp...?
>>11286215>>11286218Quality wise its all very good but the whole concept seems poorly thought out. The plamo kit part of it lacks sculpted details its very plain and simple and doesn't pair well with the figure. Also for the price I expected more.
>>11285891Tutorial?
>>11286281I wrote some two longer posts about that on /m/ recently so I think I will just post them here as screenshoot instead. Feel free to ask if you have specific question.
>>11286215As someone who was dumb enough to buy all six Symphogear ones (Didn't get the weapon set tho) I really don't get what they were trying to do with this line>Release new line meant to combine action figure and model kit >First releases are OC designs>Get a then-popular anime IP to be the first big release for your line>Their releases get delayed multiple times (Hibiki/Chris were revealed at Winter WF2020 but didn't get released til the middle of 2022)>Only like one release per year for 2020/2021 as a result>The Bofuri release comes out first even though it was announced a year after the Symphogear ones so that's the first Anime-based one now>Hibiki finally releases and it's a QC mess >The figma from a decade earlier somehow has better articulation, something essential for a figure of a martial artist>Everything except the stand came preassembled so it doesn't even go with the theme of the line its in>People start doing the model making thing themselves with their figs and start shaving plastic in certain spots to allow more articulation>They just shove out the rest of the gears over the next year or so so they don't get the same shit when they didn't release Chris with the other S1 figmas >Can't even properly display them with the old S1 figmas because they're like a head taller than them, let alone putting them with other figmas/other anime toy lines.Honestly there's no reason why these couldn't have been Figma releases. When they had Chris as one of the first reveals I figured they'd go the extra mile and have all of her guns as buildable weapons kinda like the little armory stuff including her fuck-huge missiles but no they just did the stuff you'd expect (The pistols, crossbows, the miniguns, and some small missile effects).
>>11286215It's a very confusing line. The most notable releases in the line, the Symphogear girls, don't even have the model kit aspect outside of the stands. Also said stands are like made out of the most breakable clear plastic ever.
>>11286458>People had to modify HibikiYup, can confirm.
i got these cool mini nerf guns. What are some girls that would go good with them?
>>11286506Powerari
>>11286506This shark girl
>>11286564Speaking of Shark Girls this finally arrived today and after being slightly disappointed with the Wasp Girl this one is actually alot better. I like the design alot more on both the figure and plamo parts. The plamo kit was the Lance expansion and comes with twice as many runners as the Wasp girl.
Fug. I trimmed a bit of the star off of Mao's hairpin.And it was cold so I turned my fan off and I think I breathed in some microplastic.
>>11286766Beats shaving resin dust in your lungs. I only realized it was a resin kit after reading about it in the last thread. Oh well...
>>11286766Good thing there is an ass of extras then.
>>11286814Oh shit, you're right. There are two D runners. Now I can go to sleep happy.
is there a 30ms breast chart somewhere?
>>11286850this might be helpful for youhttps://e-hentai.org/g/3151735/bcb332c579/
Still can't get over how dumb this looks.
>>11286766how do you guys deal with microplastics? Do you use any respirators?I'm a newfag, so i don't sand, I just trim.
>>11286969Wet sanding is a thing
>>11286458I honestly wish that Kotobukiya or Bandai would release actual Symphogear plastic model kits. I have soft spot for that series. Yes, I know that 30MS could be customized to resemble them but it's not the same.
>>11286969I mean, wet sanding takes care of 99% of it. Won't have any problems when wet sanding unless you're grinding the ever living fuck out of something to the point it literally throws plastic dust out faster than you can wet it (the only way that's happening is if you're using a dremel tool or some shit). If you're not wet sanding for whatever reason then you probably want to wear some sort of breathing protection. If you're sanding resin parts then you always want to wear a respirator or some such (even when wet sanding) because resin dust is nothing to scoff at.
>>11287009Blame Koto for accepting it, of course. I still question if Goldy Marg is okay, since she's based off the Desktop Army body type.
>>11287009It's all so tiresome. I except this kind of crap from westerners but I thought it hadn't spread to Japan yet. I'm expecting my Tu to go out for delivery soon (tm), and I will build her and enjoy her, regardless of what anyone else says.
>>11287009What even is the implication here? You can't lewd them in a morally or disruptive way? The latter seems like it'd be difficult to achieve.
>>11286949Miau miau
>>11287114>source>I pulled it out of my ass
>>11286949I'm just getting her for the violet colors; the cat bits are going to my Mao so she can have matching cat feet and a tail.
>>11286969Wet sanding + fan (to blow the dust / fumes away from my face). I did order a cheap respirator off Aliexpress too to try.
>>11287121they’ve been doing this with uma musume for years realistically all it means is they can swat down a pixiv fanbox for trying to monetize it
>>11286654 I've got the penguin gal currently being processed for shipping. Hope she's better since she's the newest, I believe.Any pics of her with the lance? I sorta like the idea of them periodically releasing expansions to upgrade older kits and keep them fresh, but looks like they've only done it for the shark girl so far
>>11287009
>>11287283Tia is probably my favorite NAVY FIELD girl, her binders are great, the penguin funnels are fun and her expressions are fantastic. She's a brick though.
>>11287283I almost finished snap building it. This is where I stopped. It's chonky but sturdy. The joints on the right side were all super tight and required sanding and shock oil.left side didn't need anything.
>>11287297Oh wow that's nice. She comes with all those stands too? Wasp Girl got the short end of the kit compared to these 2. The figures are all bricks but these 2 at least hide the shoulder articulation with jacket pieces and are much better designed. I might pick this up.
>>11286766don't worry anon, you get microplastics inside you any time you eat wildcaught seafood. a few plamo wont ruin the planet any faster.
>>11287127not allowed to scratchbuild the abe-killer gizmo for mao to brandish
>>11287114FAG!silphy is still koto's FAG engineering. even then, there's no common parts between her and goldy, and neither shares parts with actual d-phones.goldy is still far more of komatsu's FA girl strauss design than anything else.>>11287121japan has had babble about "public order and morals" for ages. while stupid, it's nothing new. I also suspect koto putting that in the license is entirely ass-covering from a legal standpoint; have you seen the parts muscuto made for mao and tu? "public order and morals" are completely down the drain, but I doubt koto's going to say anything to him.
>>11287813>entirely ass-covering from a legal standpointThis is almost assuredly the actual reason. As you said, Japan's dealt with this sort of shit for eons. Doing or saying weird things for the sake of plausible deniability or to make people look the other way is common practice. I mean, sure, Koto could just be going full-retard because they pay too much attention to social media, but I doubt that.
>>11286949japanese humor
Whos got better faces?Luluce or Siana?
>>11287956hair and body parts aside Which face do you like more?
>>11287961im going to have to go with choco cirno
>>11287297kino penguins but the girl is meh
She mogs wasp girl but still not sold on the line. The plamo parts are better than the characters which feel clunky to articulate.
>>11287961Open mouth side eye isn't great, at least not if a front on look with that expression is available. Closed eyes is solid but very situational, and I don't think it fits the character outside of a 'relaxing under the water' look. For that reason I'll say Luluce's. >>11287956 not much variety but they all have uses, though smiling side eye is a bit weak. The latter is also more obviously cutesy, so if that look doesn't work for you then that kind of simplifies the choice.
>>11287976>>11287961Same. Two of Luluce's faces are too similar so I'd opt for the blue one. I don't know why 30MS kits keep bundling different eye colour face plates though...Also, I think Luluce's face might look better using a lens with longer focal length though. I think there might be some distortion from using a macro lens or something.
>>11287813>>11287875I guess it just reminded me of western twitter for a moment. The old 'i have a problem with this so you can't have it' schtick. If the companies are just doing it for ass-covering and it's getting ignored 95% of the time and they don't really give a shit, that's actually pretty based. I've seen the aftermarket boobs for Mao and while I prefer her flat seeing her converted to an oppai loli was pretty neat, too.
It's already January 7, but they STILL haven't updated the late December releases' pictures at all!? Where's my fucking scans for CFG GaoFighGar!?
>>11287689>you get microplastics inside you any time you eat wildcaught seafood.Or eat a burger, or any kind of plant. Or drink anything that came out of a bottle. Or use plasticware, or eat anything that was stored in Tupperware, and do on. Microplastics have been leeching their way into you from a million different means your whole life, so unless you live on the moon or lived and died before WW2 made plastics popular, you've already got a sizeable collection stored in your body.
what kits would you use to kitbash a thicc fembot?Should I just use a thicc anime figure?
>>11288414Are you talking someone who actually looks like a robot girl, or do you just mean a thick girlpla in general regardless of aesthetic? Last I checked none of the kits from any of the brands are particularly thick, so your best bet is to go get some of the Muscuto sets or other such third party things. Otherwise if you want actual robot-looking girls that are thick, then start with your picrel or another Polynian. Plenty of good options in that line.
Should I get some of these to store my girlpla parts?
Which would you say is the best minute sister for each skin color?
>>11288621No, just get some jewelry ziplocks and a leftover gunpla box.
>>11288414How thicc do you want her?
>>11288643I vote Yufia for color A. Far-farina for color B.>>11286564 for C (they're all not that great.)
>>11288645Hmm... I do have a stack of small drawstring bags that I don't know what to do with.
Is Mao chest the same as Block 2?
>>11288621Im a fan of little boxes in big boxes myself. Im up to 5 of these now, they work preddy gud.
>>11288706>they're all not that great.why?
>>11288788Lame equipment (a fucking tail and shield? skull clubs? Seriously?) and faces that aren't very cute.
>>11288621Too smallI have 4 of these like this >>11288784 anon. I got them at Micheal's on sale. Look for the ones made in USA, as the store sources them from both USA and India, and the India made one usually feels worse.
>>11288865>>11288784Do the big box and small boxes come in a set?
>>11288881>>11288865Yep! Got mine from michaels too fren!
>$15 USD in Michaels.com>$25 CAD in Michaels.caI wish my government didn't run the country into the ground.
>>11289026Try temu
Run Emma.
>>11289097>Emma doesn't knoe how to run properlyded
>>11289097How did you get the limited hair?
>>11289026Sorry fren. Those boxes are great, you might be able to find them a little cheaper on ebay or amazon, or maybe the ali chinks might make knockoffs/cheaper versions?
>>11288561>actually looks like a robot girlYes. Likes a thicc acerby or spinatia. >>11288698LOL what kit is that?
>>11288414You might be able to do something with some third party parts and some Megalomaria girls.
>>11289246Megalomaria girls are basically sticc, anon. The only useable part is probably the face and he would probably be better off with Acerby's instead.
