New brown hair looks like some ore wa gundam shit.
Somewhat continuing question from previous thread - Im also considering getting, instead of Emma (could hunt for her instead on Suruga or Mandarake later but I still have enough of kits so it's not a big deal), Act Mode Rumi (also 80€) or one of Plamax line kits (Guilty Princess Maidroid Kuon for 60€ or Godwing Dragon Knight Himari Bahamut for 80€). But I never got kits from this company so I don't know what to expect. Or if it makes sense to buy Rumi since it looks like she comes pre-assembled so instead of plastic kit I would have action figure. Unless people paint Act Mode.Any opinion is welcomed, it helps me make final decision.
>>11628471Goodsmile has high quality plastic, but poor color separation. The clear plastic also has tendency to crack under pressure, but that can be rectified by careful fit management.
>>11628550>poor color separationNot a problem since I like painting. Thanks.So, would you suggest either of this listed three instead of Emma? If so, which one would you personally prefer?
>>11628455thats just sestieh without twintails
>>11628471>Act Mode RumiNo! Don't buy that piece of shit.I have her and it uses one of the worst plastic I've seen and even the figure looks horrible.
>>11628629Is it really that bad? Please say more, Im intrigued.
>>11628640Model kit-Plastic feels like stuff that you would use on cheap children's toys, stuff that are gummy and weak.-A lot of nubs are stupidly huge.Figure-Looks ugly-Horrible paintjob (Why use semi gloss on hair?)-Joints are extruding outAlso the display base breaks easily because the joint area is made of a single thin plastic.I've bought 3 act mode kits so far (Rumi, shark girl, and penguin girl) and Rumi was the worst one.I know it's the first kit of the line but these guys have been making figmas for years and didn't even do the bare minimum.They could have at least made the figure look nice since this was made back when goodsmile was just starting to make model kits, but the figure was just complete shit.
>Take a break from plastic kits since Elena>Work on GKs for the year>Go to Meltina>Have to autistically sand every mold line and make every nub and seam perfect>2 days and still on human half
>>11628438Finally getting around to building again after taking a break for a few months. I came across my WIP's and felt bad for leaving them like this for so long, so I guess it's time to make more progress on them. Haven't done anything since Tanlines's wrist joint fucked up her forearm, so I'm starting there and bought this set from my local shop to replace it. They're also apparently getting Rei within the next two weeks, so that'll be nice.
Got my pink mermaid. Very pretty - these colors look a lot better on her than the default ones. Won't have a chance to start on her this week, but I'm looking forward to adding Not!Ianeira to my collection - I think she'll fit in nicely next to MD Arnvwswk0al and Strarf.
>>11628640She isn't that bad. She's actually a pretty nice shelf piece with how massive her weapon is. Maple is still the best act mode.
>>11628551If you want an Emma go for the og color version of the summer or winter clothes just to have the character. The other colors should be used for unpainted mixing builds.
>>11628455Brown?
>>11628678>Tanlines's wrist joint fucked up her forearmIt's the wrist peg. It has a nub to add tightness to it, but it fucks up the flesh arms because of how thin the walls are. Trim it off and you'll instantly fix the issue.
>>11628678Oh god those tanlines I must make this.
>>11628272nah, your taste is shit.
>>11628438CUTE!
>>11628694what's the kit next to her?
>>11628758Not a kit - USAGS was giving away Clear Files for their anniversary, and I just happened to make my order during that window.
>>11628657>>11628699I ran into another user review just now, complaining about joints in figure itself. Overall, that feels pretty grim, maybe I shouldn't consider her anymore.That leave these two Plamax kits - Bahamut and Maidroid Kuon. Or none at all. Still hard choice...
Lumitea a cute! Cute!! I'm hoping more of the Arcanadea line get the date style/casual clothes treatment.
>>11628438Name of this semen demon?
>>11628835how is the fitment of the hair on the casual lumitea? mine is kind of fucked on side
>>11628858I didn't have any particular problems with mine but I find the fits tight throughout so careful filing/sanding helps.
>>11628861i see, mine is really weird on one side only with that big gap.
>>11628875
>>11628856Sheila the Bear fucker
>>1162885630MS SIS-J00 Melunja(spelling?) revealed from the livestream.
>>11628888Op has it spelled correctly
>>11628886>>11628888Built for BBC (Big Bear Cuddling)
>>11628835>I'm hoping more of the Arcanadea line get the date style/casual clothes treatmentI will only accept a trashy crop-top and hot pants as casual wear for Velretta.
>>11628888>MelunjaMelunga*
>>11628926I wish Vel's human partner would be female. I originally wished for Lumitea's partner to be female and Vel's to be male, but with the only preview we have for the anime showing Lumi's partner to be male, I have to switch things around just to make ownershipping worth it.
>>11628945She doesn’t look like a melungeon. Are you sure?
Go go go!!
>>11629083>Missed Hambrabi>Missed AsukaNoooooooo! When did they say preorders would open today?
>>11629091About noon JST on their xwitter, so like two hours before they actually did. I still haven't gotten the promo email kek. Just don't sleep I guess.
>>11629093Goddammit>>11629094She isn't, she changed to order stop as soon as I clicked shopping cart at the 20 minute mark. I might get my Hambrabi tho
>>11629094Um, Anon? Also holy fuck that was fast. Are they only getting 10 or something?
>>11629099Production might be low, neither Manda or Amiami have second hand Kitas or Reis
>>11629099I ordered it 12 on the spot so yeah, they probably have low quantities.
>>11629105Accidentally posted the holder's name (made the account like 20 years ago), not mines.I see this kit is still in stock, are they any good?
Buff
>can't get kits from hlj because I didn't order 1/5th of second of them going up >amiami doesn't sell kits to us anymore where is a slow white boy supposed to get model kits of cute girls?
>>11629108>hlj >still in stock lmao you can try, but 30MF are really good and fun kits
sold out on amiami.jp too. fuck my gay nigger life and fuck them for announcing this shit 30min before going live.but what's up with pbandai jp not having 30mp? in fact none of the new stuff is live there, but 30mp isn't even a category. only 30mm, 30ms and 30mf. do i scrame making an account in case they open preorders there?
>>11629144BBTS always has them, sure they arrive way later than usual, but they arrive
>>11629208I'm European so ordering from BBTS is a bit of a roundabout way for me, but my local plamo seller has started getting them pretty early so I can just wait for them or worse case stalk mandarake
>>11628745Holy hand grenades anon. That's definitely an opinion. All Asukas are nice, but c'mon now.
Very odd opinion but - I personally would love to have (maybe cheaper) mono-color, unpainted gray plastic girls kits, entirely for painting. I simply enjoy painting process.
>>11629098>>11629099Apparently I didn't delete my reply fast enough. I must have got the very last preorder or Asuka on HLJ. I got my order in at 19 minutes past and then came to the thread and saw >>11629091 and thought "nah man, I just got her." Went back to HLJ after making that post and saw orders were closed. Didn't want to give people false hope so I deleted.To be honest I completely fluked it and just checked HLJ on a whim without even reading this thread.
>>11629253That would be cool but Bandais main audience are the straight builders, but maybe they'll do it as a limited thing, but it's not that hard to prime kits for painting
>>11629253There is literally zero difference between a grey plastic sprue and a blue or green or whatever other colour plastic sprue. They are all dyed.
>>11629261I know but having them already in color often discourages me instead. In case of plastic girls, it also means that I either paint over already placed eyes on face parts or leave skin untouched (which also means I can't add exposed skin areas via painting) since you cannot match skin shade 100%, feel that I won't be able to paint as good as existing scheme and so on. With "gray" kits, these problems are nonexistent, whatever I do will be good. Works well with miniatures, would work well with those plastic kits.
>>11629265Grey, bone, sand, blue, whatever - I'm referring to kits that comes in single color since whoever bought it is expected to paint them anyway. Scale models or miniatures, for example.
>>11629268Only way it works is if it's completely new, redesigned kits to use fewer runners (since no need for color separation). Reprinting an existing kit all one color wouldn't be any cheaper, and would probably end up costing more due to even smaller print runs because of the niche appeal.
>>11629218Your paying those prices anyway with how shit shipping has been for the past year.But seriously, HLJ has become so shit I'm just going to stop ordering from them.
>>11629282I never said I would want existing kits to be sold that way, some new line would be fine.
>>11629268There are the new BoneR kits coming, that will come with an all flesh-coloured body alongside the regular one.
Nothing quite like moving to realize how horrifyingly large your backlog has become.
>>11629199If you're in Japan try hobbysearch, dmm or even
>>11629380Looks like small time, honestly. Mine does not fit in single image.
>>11629428Anon… that’s just one bag, it’s hardly everything! You can only cram so much into a single duffle.
So this is her preposed leg part? Was this really necessary? Most figures have the articulation to do this ugly broken leg pose without needing extra parts... Rei's preposed part was better
>new sisters order stop>30MF stuff order stop>some 30mm leftat this point I might as well just ignore HLJ and just get them second hand or wait for domestic releases
>>11629465Better than letting you order them, knowing full well they'll be in backorder hell, and you'll never see them anyway.
>>11629449The way the legs are they wouldn't look good doing this pose. I won't be able to get her, but I WILL get the inevitable test plugsuit version
>>11629494they don't look good here either. I know it's an anime kawaii pose but I always thought it looks retarded kek
>>11629474yeah and then not letting you cancel the backorder despite the fact it won't happen, no one is gonna want HLJ suddenly charging you years later, hell currently having issues with the 2B figma, HLJ is just being bad which sucks I used to get so much gunpla from them
>>11629426i'll keep an eye out but i don't have too much hope.camping at a store on release day seems the most realistic. but i need to figure out a) the exact release day and b) which stores stock her. i'll probably ask around, maybe amiami or volks in akiba or the bamco cross stores. they stopped selling 30mm stuff at the gundam base
>Sestieh costing around 60€ on Suruga-yaWhat the hell is happening with this kit? Japan can't stop hoarding her leotard body?
>>11629558She's hotShe has very useful parts in a good neutral colorShe's hotShe's a Color C which I can't confirm gets less printings of but they are less commonShe's hotShe also got good nice weapons tooShe's also hotIn fact she is so hot I've seen fan art of her on pixiv and only 1 is AI, what can I say they got excellent tasteI also bought 2 of her myself.
>>11629574I perfectly understand but I want one on my own too ;_;
>>11629582I feel you buddy, I managed to snag them when they were new and I still had to pay a bit more, hopefully Bandai gets on reissuing them asap, though I will say it looks like she might get a European release soonish judging from what I've seen on some local stores listings so keep an eye out
>>11629474>backorder hell is a thing>makes it impossible to order backordered items>won't let you cancel backordered items>even when they let you pre-orderI'd wrather get scammed by bbts at this point.
>>11629597yeah I did put in some 30MM stuff preorders because they don't seem to go as fast but I think I'm generally kinda done with HLJ, they're leaving a bit of a sour taste in my mouth now when they can't even fulfill my figma 2B order.Still not being able to cancel backordered things is insane, I've asked and they've been like "oh more is planned to come in january" but cant tell me if I will actually get it or if I was too late and is actually number 350 and got no snowballs chance in hell to get it anyways
>>11629597>I'd wrather get scammed by bbts at this point.im just gonna change my credit card and ship all my orders after a certain point, HLJ shipping and tariff charges are much more than the other sites I use so im just done.
>>11629604You can fanangle the shipping a little bit if you have a lot of stuff to ship.It still is expensive as fuck.
>>11629611That was one of the first advice I was given when ordering from the site but man, the 20ish% tarrif theyre charging me is retarded while the two other sites I use are just doing 15%. Im going to start shipping all my stuff next month or so when they do the minor shipping discounts.
>>11629603Yeah, they kinda suck now. That new cancellation policy is dumb since most items the cancellation deadline is the same as the day pre-orders start, so you immediately get a popup 'like lol you can't cancel XD'. So the new policy is the typical nip 'we don't except cancellations'. Then just fucking say it. Doesn't take 3 pages of a policy statement to say it.Plus>Order item>Doesn't get filled for weeks>Shows discontinued >Can't even cancel it and get rid of it>Don't want to order elsewhere and end up with two>Sells out elsewhere as well>End up with zero>Stays in my order history taunting meI mean the private warehouse is nice (basically their only selling point now) but if you can't get stock of it just kill it and send me a email or let me cancel from my end. And for the love of all that is holy stop shutting down for weeks on end to re-arrange your warehouse for the eighth fucking time. I paid shipping last Friday and still nothing, they used to fire things out the door the next business day, in the old warehouse that apparently was so shit.
>>11629592I actually monitor two major shops in my (EU) country daily so lets hope you are right.
>>11629646>Don't want to order elsewhere and end up with two>Sells out elsewhere as well>End up with zero>Stays in my order history taunting meyeah this shit annoys me, with model kits its like kinda fine because they're cheap and if I get a spare thats just one to customize or at least use alt parts on, but big expensive shit? yeah, actually annoyed because I got a bit tight on cash and I had to ditch a PO on something I wanted more than 2B because of HLJs policy (granted part is on me for not canceling orders when they let you in october)>I mean the private warehouse is nice (basically their only selling point now)Nin-nin and Hobby Genki have PW too, not as robust and I've not really used them but still, HLJ isn't the only game in town for that anymore>but if you can't get stock of it just kill it and send me a email or let me cancel from my end.Yeah if it's a thing where they know they can't get stock for a long time then they really should just ask us if we want to keep the PO or just cancel it, especially for Bandai stuff, that will sell no matter what.>I paid shipping last Friday and still nothingmy last shipment only took 3 days but I am also european so that might be part of it, but I've had times they took a long time to ship so I don't know. HLJ is just getting annoying, especially with Bandai kits, also still annoyed that PO just sell out so damned fast, its like they seriously only get 3 kits of each thing
>>11628745Yawn
>>11629675faggot. what's next, rei is better than asuka? pfft.
>>11629657good luck man, idunno where you are in Europe but I hope what I'm seeing on mine applies to it too
>>11628745based and truthpilled
>>11629665>also still annoyed that PO just sell out so damned fast, its like they seriously only get 3 kits of each thingI mean, order stop is better than endless backorder hell. But last night was ridiculous, you had a 19-minute window to get Asuka or Yellow Bocchi. I got both but I'm annoyed on behalf of other Anons. As it is I have to watch Twitter like a hawk (both Bandai's 30 minute and HLJs accounts) and set an alarm for the middle of the night my local time. I've never gotten anything Bandai from HLJ unless I pre-ordered within 15 minutes or once I happened to notice Luluce randomly come into stock. Although that is partially a Bandai issue since they think all gaijin are scalpers. I might check out Hobby Genki and see if they are any better to deal with. Or just say to hell with it and go back to monthly AmiAmi orders, not that that helps much with Bandai stuff.
>>11629719Hg can be just as bad. Maybe if you mentioned years ago id agree but it is popular enough where people actively use it as an alternative now.
>>11629449>>11629494If she doesn't have an eyepatch sticker option in her base version, she will have it in her Test Plugsuit version. Though I wonder if you can make Rei sit in one of Asuka's legs for a good display...
>>11629465>>11629474>>11629526I manage to get my SHF Kamen Rider Cyclone bike but that was still open for orders until the day of release. Now I dont know if thise whi ordered day of got theirs, but this new system MIGHT at least show this time how much stock they do get. Not glazing them, but it's definitely not the best. Maybe Discontinued items are the only ones you can ask to cancel?
>>11629719Hlj opens pre-orders at midnight here. I leave to go to work 5 hours later. The situation with their private warehouse the past couple months has been absolute cancer with how the automation made customer service much worse, and now this shutdown holding orders paid days before it for three weeks after being violently raped by their shipping prices. The bridge isn't just on fire at this point.
>>11629830>If she doesn't have an eyepatch sticker option in her base version, she will have it in her Test Plugsuit version.How about her version from the shitty 3rd movie, you know, the one were she wears an eye patch
>>11629558What? Fuck. I thought "oh well, can always get her later", but I suppose not.Re-issue when?
>>11630044I shit you not.
>>11630164Christ. No way I'd pay quadruple the original list price.At least Shuremi goes for just under 5k on Amiami, which is still a lot (double), but not 7.7k (more than triple). And speaking of HLJ, they still tease my by having the latter on backorder.
>>11630164if you can consider aliex, Sestieh is going for around $40 burgerbucks right now thanks to their black friday sale (at least those are the prices shown to a sudaca like myself, dunno how's the price difference for eurobros).while I know it's not the best place, desperate times needs desperate measures
>>11628455Are 30MS hair parts Frame Arms Girl compatible? I've been scouring AliExpress for FA components but it seems like the people there only make Megami Device and Snail Shell compatible shit.
>>11630554I don't think so. Annoyingly, even different lines from the same company will all have different head cores and faceplates, so you can only swap within a line without modifying or scratch building.
>>11630554Not even remotely.
>>11630605How is Koto maid lady? The one with orange hair and glasses.
>>11630618Fantastic. She is also the largest girl that uses the frame arms girl body type.
>>11629692I said *yawn*
Inevitable re-color up soon.
>>11630694Where are their G-Stones, anon? Why would you deny them of their power source?
>avatar fumina went for 1k on hlj>sold out instantly damn was considering grabbing 3 but those japanese nerds are too fast
>>11630984What kit is that
>>11631171Durga Negro (Forma de gato)
>>11631173Is that the official name?
>>11631243No. I was joking. But it seems to be just a recolor of "Durga I Cat Armor Ver."There also was a cat armor version of "Magatsuki" Durga and Magatsuki are like twin kits - they share a lot of parts and mainly differ in accessories and some details.
>>11631243>>11631247PS you can also buy Cat Armor as a separate kit
>>11631101Waiting for gold paint.
>>11631256Oh, OK. I really should paint the red parts on Galeon's mane at least.
>>11630554>>11630562Bloody hell, I just want a cute bob cut for my kitbash. I'm starting to feel like it would just be easier to buy a damn 3d printer and make shit myself.
>>11631443DO IT. I picked up a 3D printer a few years ago, and even with my most paltry of 3D design skills I've been able to make all sorts of shit that prevents the need to buy stuff off of Booth and what not. My several hundred dollar investment has probably saved me 2k in imports. Plus it just gives you more creative control power without the need to be some sort of putty sculpting god. You can use it for other hobbies too. It's a win/win.
Tiasha erotic...
>>11631642She looks unwashed and greasy
yuki tu might arrive earliest on mondaywhat the hell is this scalper doing i thought ill get her on dec 1
>>11631642Plamo belly?
>>11631783Ye.
>>11630694What sucks is that she doesn't have joint parts to equip other Brave series armors like the separately sold GaoGaiGar girl. I really wished you can do the Baan Superion using the maid girl, but that's no longer an option, even if you take similar joint parts from Brave Girl.
>>11631797U-oh!
>>11631898neat
>>11631898Looks like the bubblegum crisis girls
>>11632073BGC2038 in the 30 Minutes line, yes plz.
Broke Xiao's crotch
>>11632301Howd tha thappen?
>>11632339was trying to push in those little purple pieces and put too much pressure on the thinnest part. i already put it back together with some cement but it was a bit of a quick/clumsy fix. I noticed there's actually a spare of the one i broke, but i won't bother replacing it until this one snaps again.
>>11632339That piece is well known for breaking because the purple piece is too tight and people press on the thin section
>>11632301speaking of designs...to anyone with Warrior Goddess Sako be careful in assembly. I have a breakage with the armored form shoulder joint. Lots of tight fits and made of POM, Tamiya cement and crazyglue don't work.
>>11632364>>11632386Didnt know that its that bad, goddamn man.
>>11632301I did that to Mao when I got her. I was able to glue it back together, but needless to say I've been a lot more careful with Tu and Lang.
>>11632301Are you aware how it sounds?
>>11632301You can still fix it >>11619932
Bad financial decisions.Looking forward to building Edelweiss. She's my first Shinki and really cute.
Speaking of hauls I have the 30MS shark girl coming in- got her for like £25 from Wayland Games of all places. Looking forward to building her, I really like 30MS and she's got a cute design.
>>11632565It's nice having a more stable stock of Bandai stuff in the UK. Even Amazon has had some nice deals.
>>11632563I wish Qipao Burger came out before I bought two of the original. It's a nice design, but not so nice I'd want three.
>>11632630They seem to be getting more popular. I was recently in a craft/art supply store here in leafland that also carries a small selection of models, and gone were the revell/testors shit they used to carry and in was bunch of gunpla. Overpriced, sure, but it might open the door to FRS/30MS stuff, if just a crack.
>>11632403Oh hell. I just got her in last week and was having premonitions with the wrist/ankle joints on the casual body being directed to apparently maximize breakage risk between the seam placement and the body-side holes being juuust too tight for their own good.Was already dreading her potential inability to swap armored form heads between full face and helmeted, but I guess a staged neck ball with zero fucking leverage wasn't the only MD Block 1.5/Block 2 innovation she embraced.
Is Plamax Bahamut good kit? Worth 80 EUR? I never bought anything from this company before.
>>11631642I can't decide if I like her or not. Might buy her only for her face
>>11632869The superior brat is releasing next month.
>>11632935Who?
What 30MS kits have spare elbow connectors? I just broke one of the white arms set
>>11632967None of the girls i have do, you should look for option body parts.
>>11632979Guess I'll stalk second-hand sellers to get one and another school swimsuit
>>11632967Figurerise Nyan/Machu/Ple come with extras.
>>11633011>Haven't built my Ple yetOh, neat. In the meantime I just used the baking soda and glue method. Maybe I can save it
Got my new uniform, I like the colors more than the old ones I have. The skirt is shorter than I expected, basically hentai size, but I still like it. I'm probably going to get a couple more.
>>11632953The release date could be wrong.
>>11633073Unpopular opinion, but you can't be a brat with a chest that big.
Last import this year which I think is a steal. Also, save my ami points from expiring.
>>11632935Nope
>>11633075VERY unpopular, yes. We still love you though, anon.
>get a 30ms kit>look for aftermarket parts>a ton of shit on booth>every single one is based on a megami device kit as a base, none for 30msbut why
>>11633150Koto actively encourage aftermarket MD parts.
>>11633150Almost all third party parts are made by Japs. Japs actively go out of their way to abide by copyright laws or rules set in place by the owners of a given property. Out of all (Japanese) girlpla creators only Koto have given express permission to make parts, and even then ONLY (for some retarded reason) for Megami Device. Thus 99% of everything you see is made for MDs. Though, even if that weren't the case most things would still be made for MDs since they're the most popular girlpla line with actual enthusiasts of the subgenre by a country mile. The only other people in other countries that are making customization parts to any meaningful degree are the Taiwanese and Chinese, and both (shockingly in China's case) don't do much to rock the boat with Japanese businesses and their arbitrary rules.
>>11633075agreed
>>11633232>third partyLike bootlegs?
>>11633075Not everyone can be this patrician. Be proud to be part of the elite
>>11633294Third party are like garage kits, made in small quantities by individuals. Bootlegs are more like full on copies of kits
>>11633232They are experimenting with licensing out frame arms girls, but for now it seems like only to Muscuto.
>>11632795So, nobody have her and can't give opinion?
>>11633310Standard plamax. Good plastic, bad color separation.
>>11632563The snussy joints kinda break easy
>>11633356Really? I've been posing my snake's tail a lot and am not very careful about it. You've just unlocked a fear that I'm going to break that shit.
>>11633364NTA, but it's just ABS thing. ABS is durable and hard, so it can break under constant stress of a ball joint. Look at the HGUC Z'Gok kit - it's literally the same issue.
>>11633364not gonna break apart but the plastic they use crack and i'm kinda worried that is gonna become too lose
>>11633309>be me >frequent lurker of this general>see an image that appeals to me>"oh cool maybe I'll actually orde-">it's third party shitEvery tiem
>>11633411you forgot the>it's third party>actually unobtainium
>>11632563Weiss a cute, I mainly bought her because of the spare C runner but I like her much more than I thought I would.
>>11633411>calling a garage kit 3rd partyThe transformers fandom has done irreparable damage to toy collecting hobbies.ALSO That is an official Kotobukiya product.
>>11633414That's not how this works. There are reprints all the time, it's just they're made in batches of five units six months apart so you have to place your order within a femtosecond of the product being listed or wait for the item to "go up" again*. It's simple.*Unless you order bootlegs or from Muscuto direct
Booth era Muscuto is literally the easiest GK maker on the planet to buy from. At least post his OCs and PSO kits if you want to complain about unobtainables.
>>11633366>Look at the HGUC Z'Gok kit - it's literally the same issue.Fuck, and I just picked up an HGUC Z'Gok as well.
>>11633453idk and idc frankly, I was just going off an anon above who said they are the same thing. Either way they are probably unobtanium>That is an official Kotobukiya productoh yeah? So I can just go to an official japanese hobby site and buy a single kit that comes with the parts needed to make the figure in that pic? Because I don't want to jump through hoops and go through customizers and shit to get these things
>>11633465Why would you want his stuff, it’s either ridiculous proportions, license slop, or generic hairstyles. Plus it’s ludicrously overpriced.
>>11633559>retard doesn't understand that an officially licensed add-on is an official product even if it's an add-onHe was right, you've been brainrotted by /tfg/
>>11633615Ok let's assume I am a retard. Can I get some product links then? Or is it something old and no longer available
>>11633559The kit will have reruns eventually, and Muscuto will probably sell some variant of them on his booth if Frame Arms Girl gks take off. It was an experiment by Koto to judge the potential market.That said, the body itself is just a fagified version of his existing bunny suit. The MD one is much more readily available and works on more kits.https://muscutoy.booth.pm/items/5109055
>>11633582Or useful blank bodies, joints and head cores. He isn't that expensive compared to many other gkers and his quality is universally top notch.
>>11633582>ridiculous proportionsAs someone who has bought from nearly every MD Booth maker, he has some of the smallest and most tame kits available. His biggest barely compete with stock MD nowadays. I literally found all of pic in 5 minutes of browsing Booth, and this isn't even accounting for giant ass and leg upgrades. >license slopConsidering how many original kits he releases I don't see this as an issue>generic hairstyles.His hair is the best modeled of all the kit makers. Its very understated how difficult it is to 3D model appealing anime hair>it’s ludicrously overpriced.His resin is pre-colored and is made out of the strongest engineering-grade stuff you can get. I've tried to purposefully break his clear hair and not only was it near impossible but it was legitimately difficult to drill into as well.
>>11633717And not one of the leg and ass upgrades result in a build half as large as the average American woman...
>>11633717You act like this is a good thing or something, lol. It’s a sign of how bad things can really get, not a selling point
>>11633734>It’s a sign of how bad things can really getIf you're buying upgrades at all you either want huge boobs or board plates, buying aftermarket for vanilla sizes makes no sense. Everything in that pic is like a 2/10 degeneracy for Booth. You have no idea what bad actually looks like. >individually Balljointed boobs with swap out bouncing parts>MD pelvis with open vagina and penis that can insert >MD crotch height Horse breeding mount onahole with cumshot effect parts >MD stomach with opening belly that can fit a human or alien fetus >Cube compressed fetish body >Decapitated head effects with exposed spine and blood effects >futa and alien egg laying is a red ocean market with dozens of artists competing to make the biggest/most detailed. Some have whole alien life cycles as kits>life size 7 inch resin penis with an MD pelvis on the end>hyper realistic nude Mao bodies>pic related is a whole genre
>>11633757Quite a lot of hefty cooms to be had with that big list of fetishes there.
>>11633765I sell on Booth so I see everything that gets listed on my feed. That's barely scratching the surface.
>>11633773These are kinda cute in a fucked up gremlin-y way
>>11633678cute Mashu
There's a Tsukuyomi underneath there.
>>11633930Built like an African momma
Plamateas are frens of Buso Shinkis, right?I'd have posted WIPs but I caught a ban for a fortnight because 4chan's proxy/VPN detection software is literal shit.
>>11633674>7,7k Yen without shippingI know I keep complaining, but fuck me that's expensive. I love bunny suits like that, but I'd rather wait for something to be produced normally and pay 5k Yen for a full kit.Or just kitbash.
My local shop have Suyata Angela for nearly 50% off due to black week or something. Is she worth it or quality control is too poor to consider?
>>11633309>>11633465Since I´m going to weeb land next week, any ways to purchase these kits there? Apart from ordering a package to your hotel. I've done that before but I hate to ask the hotel staff every time.
>>11634231Hunters Poem are rather bad in terms of QC, but if you like the designs they can be decent enough.
>>11634187Value wise his Tsukiomi bunny is the best, it's 6600 yen and comes with hair.
>>11634301While the sculpts are nicely detailed, the value isn't speaking to me as I got Tsuyukomi herself for like 7,3k yen. Not to mention dealing with a forwarder, which I assume is necessary.
>>11634241I know there's a few places like that, only one I know by name is Irosika. >>11634306Resin casting isn't easy, and he uses good materials. Most Gk fags are charging 3K for just one set of hair or boobs
>>11634306You can use buyee from booth for like 7-8 bucks or you can use a forwarder like blackship for like a dollar.
>>11634327I always prefer Blackship because you can snipe limited Booth drops and won't get denied on NSFW parts like you can through Buyee sometimes.
>>11631642>>11632869I don't know, guys. Is it weird to say [spoiler]I could fap to this?[/spoiler]
>>11634335Brother- men have fapped to floor tiles before today.
>>11634335The weirdest thing about that is jerking to a flatty, but this is the internet so that's not weird at all.
>>11634340Right, floor tiles and Ohio. For a moment, I forgot where I'm asking.>>11634346Love me some cowtits, but her bratty attitude, tummy and hips kinda make up for the flatness.
>>11634360It's still "weird," but I get it. No need to explain her appeal here.
>>11634335No. Learning to appreciate a DFC is a right of passage. It also might help Bandai distinguish themselves from Koto who have been going the ever-larger cowtits route especially with MD.
>>11634464Honestly I'm down for this. MDs are consistently larger than 30MS (even the "loli" kits like Mao and Tu aren't THAT small) so Bandai could absolutely market to the cute and funny patricians.On that note, my kingdom for Zankuro-designed figures/kits.
>>11634241Irosika is the most dependable option as the other anon said. They stock the best parts from the best GK makers (Muscuto, Koi, all of the good clothes makers, the guy who makes the famous soft titties, etc). It has a slew of everything people in our hobby want. It's our mecca for customization.
>>11634475>my kingdom for Zankuro-designed figures/kits.SECONDED
>>11630605Who is the one with the crucifix?
>>11634335The look of a girl who remembers quite well that she asked for a titty upgrade a year or so ago
>>11634346>The weirdest thing about that is jerking to a flatty,What's weird about that? Everyone knows it's the hips, ass and thighs that are the most important features of a woman; whatever's topside is irrelevant.

>>11634542its in osaka?
Any news on darkadvent stuff? I've been teased on this alien one for like 2 years now. Imagine coming out with krakendress and undeadress to spend the next few years doing relaxed versions and rereleases wtf. I feel so cucked lol
>>11634844I stopped following Dark Advent after they stopped doing futa, lmao.
>>11634335>Rishetta got bigger>Luluce got bigger>even Ilshana is biggerlife is hard for Tiasha
>>11634899Too 3D? Most girls get slowly bigger over time. None of which changes the fact that flat is justice.
>>11634931Whatever makes you feel better, Tiasha.
>>11634129Don't seem why not, I cancelled my preorder because I didn't like how they made the skirt
what would be the two best figures to recreate a boob mogging like this
>>11634971Summer hres has pressed boobs in the kit as an option part. Dunno who you could use as the 2nd one.
>>11634971
>>11634931>Too 3D? Most girls get slowly bigger over time. None of which changes the fact that flat is justice.
>>11634996ooh chunky
>>11634974I think that's meant for another Hres variant but fucked if I can remember which one. Sort of had a fairy theme.
>>11635025It was just a recolor of regular bikini hres. The breasts only fit bikini hres' too.
I have a smug snow bunny (and bonus blonde hair).
>>11635057>snow bunny
>>11635057Enjoy trying to cement the seams on the pawsShame that Yuki Tu and Kuro Mao use metallics in their colors. At least the chest stickers can be omitted without much break in the consistency.
>>11635064That's literally what 'yuki' means, yes. She's Snow Tu.>>11635065Not my first Puni Mofu kit - I built her normal version and normal Mao ages ago, still have Kuro Mao and Lang in backlog, and have my birb en route. I'm not planning on using the paws on this version of her, and I'm putting her weapons into a different configuration from what I have her normal version using, so cementing the seams is a non-issue.
>>11635057Is this in stock somewhere? Couldnt preorder this from my usual places.
>>11635093>Couldnt preorder this from my usual places.What do you mean? She's up on AmiAmi, HLJ, Gundamit, and KotoUS (which is where I got that blonde hair from) right now.
>>11634963I think she's pretty neat, overall. Her attaché case can hold all of her hands and faceplates, meaning you can stow everything that comes with her, on her.
https://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/en/product/detail/p4934054059348/She should count in this thread, right?
Okay, different topic. How does Hand Scale FA Girls scale besides a Sakura Wars kit from Bandai? We got Kobus and Obus.
>>11634996Man i really don't like that knee and that boobs on the leopard gyaru
>>11635414Huh. Are robots/androids/Reploids considered mecha musume?Either way, I'd say all manner of girlpla are accepted here, so why not?
>>11635414If you're building a girl then it's girlpla and goes here.
>>11628438
https://x.com/figsoku/status/1993884138915680515?s=20
>>11635581>>11635414>>11635588This is not the girlpla general, it is the mecha musume general. Companion lines like Sousai and Megalomaria are fine, as are many other lines so long as discretion is used for things that are obviously not mecha musume.That said Iris and other girls from Megaman are fine, particularly when in their armored modes they are mecha musume.
Started building Nuke Matrix Carol. She's got a rather pleasing tan shade to her skin, and her clear parts (yellow with an iridescent coating!) are definitely the prettiest out of all the kits I've made.
>>11635743Mines been sitting in my backlog since she came out... shit is getting comically ridiculous...
>>11635743and that god damn free-floating collar of hers is going to be a very small problem.
>>11635724Thank you, thread police, for giving your unwanted and unneeded permission.
>>11635758Your welcome anon.
>>11635743So much bulk on that lass when she's fully kitted out. Lots of small parts, but pretty when she's done. I wish I'd decaled and flatcoated as I went though, because I don't think I'll ever summon the will to pull her apart and do it properly.
any good girlpla black friday deals?
lumitea react-if give birthwanted to wait for natural light but weather gods said no and i'll be busy the next few days. decent kit, those legs are pure sex. did seamwelding for the first time, it went so-so. for the very last piece i used homebrewed extra thin instead of the regular cement and that worked much better. so much fucking sanding....
and turkish die earth mochi pounding ver. let's ignore her dislocated elbow, i only noticed after eating the mini mochi. my brain stopped working and i tried to use the bandai action base butt plug, really stupid in hindsight. but posing her with both the "wings" on her back and the mallet, she's very hard to pose without a base.i'm very happy how the glossy coat on her skin tight outfit came out
>>11636010>lumitea react-if give birthWho is the father?
>>11636010I really want her but I should build OG Lumitea first- and I don't know where in the boxfort she's stowed.
>>11636044me, duh>>11636070you should build the OG first, react-if has a bonus part that lets her sit
>>11636010>those legs are pure sex1000% agree. The translucent long skirt part is nice and I'm sure a big technical achievement since it is all one piece, but at the end of the day I couldn't bear to cover up those legs. Hoping for more casual wear/date style kits if the Arcanadea girls.
>>11635980Gundamit has a few Earnestcore girls on sale
>>11636081>I couldn't bear to cover up those legsyou and me both. but i also fucked up the glossy coat on the skirt, so it wasn't a very hard decision
>>11636592
How do I tighten up loose ball joints? Do I really just put hobby glue on it and wait till it dries up before putting it back in? How long will that last if I keep playing with it?
>>11636672A dab of glue, a dab of paint, a dab of nail polish, anything that will increase the friction. You can sand it down a bit if it's too much.>How long will that last if I keep playing with it?You might need to do it occasionally here and there, after all friction wears down the joint if you play around with it too much
>>1163654830MF needs to make a female silhouette. the wizard already has freaking heels!
>>11636682It'd be nice to have a Empress or Egyptian Queen style 30MF.
>>11636548now it's guaranteed, if you don't own a Sestieh yet you will never get one.
>>11636725I'm really regretting passing one up at a local nerd shop for £28 now. I don't even really want her that much it'd just be a pretty solid price for her.
>>11636672You can use water soluble glue or pledge with future if they sell that where you live.
>>11636548>Robo ArgonianI can dig it.>>11636682Aren't the Wizards already female? In addition to the high heels, they've got a narrower waist and smaller ribcage than the others. The only thing you're not really seeing are breasts, because the armor they wear is supposed to be gender-neutral so it can be slapped on other characters.
>>11636729>£28>Almost 6 kY>She listed in Japan for 2500 yenGranted you have to pay shipping but what a crazy hobby this is that that even looked like a deal, let alone one you would look back on a regret not buying.
>>11636803I saw her go for about 5k on Mandarake, take her at that price plus shipping and £28 ain't so bad at all.
>>11636787>pledge with futureNTA but I thought that was discontinued, at least here in leafland. I still have some but not sure what I'll do when it's gone. Great general purpose gloss coat, water based, non toxic, heck it even smells nice, and a bottle that sold for like 6 maple bucks lasted for years if you just used it for models and not on your floors. But then it seem to be done intentionally here that anything good a cheap is pulled from the market and replaced with something shitty and expensive.
>>11636792>Aren't the Wizards already femalePrepare to have the same conversation Dungeons and Dragons players have already had about Warforged
>>11636979I have no idea what that means, as I don't play DnD. All I know is that the 30MF Wizards use a visibly different body sculpt from all of the other 30MF figures - one with a thin, feminine waist, a different pelvis piece, a smaller thorax and high-heels.
>>11636592Not familar with garage kits, is there a place where I can find the Style DO body?

>>11637092Thanks a lot, based anon!

Is there anyway to get USAGS to ship items in an order early or cancel an item? I po'd Wilbur and some 30ms with them sometime ago and they're holding it hostage until everything in the order is in. Really dumb on my end, but its a lesson learned not to preorder multiple items together, atleast with USAGS
>>11638091>Is there anyway to get USAGS to ship items in an order early or cancel an item?Email them, cancellation will cost a restock fee (lol), so either just wait or enable them.
>>11637549Fighter's the manlet. But it's thicker.

We will get Grande Materias one day, right?
>>11638294assassin is the same as the first knight guywizard is the slimmer one
>>11638091We let you pay an extra shipping fee if you want the in-stock stuff shipped early, not sure if USAGS does too.
>>11638294Wow
>>11638294Yeah, this is gorgeous. I know what set I’m getting next.
Hello, I started gunpla somewhat recently (no painting though) and I've really gotten into the building process of it so I wanted to try Frame arms girls and/or 30MS just to get some variety, I'm gotten interest in >>11633073 since she looks cute and into something like pic related. Would they satisfy my needs? Any recommendations?
>>11638569>I'm gotten interestI'm interested^ and what shops send to Europe and have good deals?
>>11638571Bandai kits are priced just fine in most European shops, there are no particular ones that have better availability than the others or vastly different prices. If you are lucky, your country could have at least few selling them and recomendations are local. Kotobukiya at the other hand is universally more expensive anywhere in Europe and hard to find except very few shops. 30MS are best to buy locally, Koto girls are best to import via Suruga-ya (bulk + free shipping) or Mandarake, even with shipping + VAT you will pay 1/2 or even 1/3 of local price in most cases (there are exceptions but rare).Technically since next year you would also pay duty as well (since EU is getting rid of 150 EUR limit for duty free because local shops cried too much about "muh Temu/Ali" and "muh China") but in most cases duty for plastic girls is 0% anyway so its mostly about how your country postal services will handle operational fee for duty check (mine had equivalent of 2 EUR for "simplified procedure" for under 150 EUR packages and equivalent of up to 20 EUR for full check so time will tell how much they try to fuck me up).
>>11638578Many thanks, are the kits I chose good? desu there's a girl in red from 30MS that has a centaur backpack that looks kind of cool too
Does anyone know if those weapons fit in the hands of 30ms?
>>11638611Can't say for sure, but I know a lot of HG Gundam stuff tends to work with 30MS, MD, and FAGs, so probably.
>>11638605All three (including red 30MS) are good, only warning I would have is for Hres (the first one) since she is older model and thus have some issues with very tight joints that Magatsuki no longer have. But it only means that you have to test fit joints before putting parts together and if required, sand them gently down. But you should be fine.
>>11638611They can, I bought the Brady Brad blue mech and Sourei can hold the bigass katanas fine, I can post pics later
>>11638611>>11638654Here we go. The gun is really solid on Tiasha and Sourei, but the katana is really flimsy on Tiasha, so an earlier 30MS might have a few problems holding melee weapons but everything should be fine with more modern 30MS
i thought i was out but i just saw that they are releasing a megalomaria that basically looks like Ritsuka (I think it's called Emulator) and it's got articulated eyeballs. I pre-ordered it but from USA gundam store so who knows if i'll ever get it.Pretty cool though, but for some reason they went with the weird neck style, kind of resembles a megami device neck with the joint on it. I just think it looks silly but she looks so much like Ritsuka I gotta check her out
>>11628835i can't afford the shipping on a casual elena
>>11638994If you can pre-order for kotobukiya's US site I'd do that instead so you can get the pre-order bonus
>>11638994If you like Ritsuka check out Green Glass, who is actually Robo-Ritsuka.
>>11632967>>11633011>>11633013add SIS-V00 Rydira to the list for extras along with a set of ankles and out knee parts
When in December will she release?
>>11639298Last week probably
>>11639302fuck
>>11639298For future reference, almost all Japanese product releases are at the end of the month. Models, figures, character goods, doesn't matter. Just count on it being at the end of a given month.
Randomly found Lumitea for $45.57 shipped in case anyone is interested https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMvLjP7
>>11639514She's a very nice kit. And if you buy the casual clothes version you get a runner if extra hands in white to use with the original version.
Also found Sestieh for a pretty reasonable price. I'm flying to Japan in February so I should probably hold off... https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mr7X2MDCheck out using a fresh session if you're using Rakuten (bonus cashback today)
>>11639556I've got coupons to get her down to $31.86 and if Rakuten comes through, the final price shipped is around $23 usd. Veeeery tempted.
Used a $3 off $29 coupon and brought her down to $30.86 before cashback.
>>11639591Yesterday I did the same thing, I've never used rakuten b4 tho. Am I missing out on big savings??!!!
>>11639823Yes. 29-30% cashback is pretty huge. There's also 5% Aliexpress in-app cashback for joining a team and in-app coin discounts.I've grabbed like 6 kits off Aliexpress in the last year or two. Mostly Koto stiff and 1 PR Production. First kit was Puni Mofo Mao when it was still I'm short supply. Sometimes sellers don't ship the stuff or ask for additional fees (ignore them) and the order falls through though. I'm not sure if it's because I've stacked too many discount. The final price is below Kotobukiya MSRP most of the time.
>>11638753thank you very much. Finally my girls can hunt big game.
>>11639556Rats. The 29% cashback didn't post.Cashbacks are unreliable and some listings don't participate in the affiliate program and don't quality for cashback. I made sure this one did though...
>>11640318It has also dropped further in price. $29.09 through the coin discount page with automatic 4 off 26 coupon. Should I order another?? Ilshana is $20.07 here too. $9 off $59 applies if I get both. https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mKvOrcN
What topcoats do you guys generally like to use for your girlpla? I'm considering doing some 30ms face decals and I've never done it before
>>11640421High gloss Lacquer, use my pen sander, then whatever tamiya topcoat texture I want.I also coat high wear areas with super glue to prevent chipping, sand, then topcoat.
For those that missed getting Meltina for msrp. With the coupon code THANKS1525 on usagundamstore you can get her down to $77 which is about what HLJ had her at
>>11633073What animal is she supposed to be?
>>11640584Highly likely a bat
>>11640575Considering what an absolutely chunky kit she is, 77 is pretty damn good actually. >>11640421Different finishes for different things. Almost always matte/flat for skin and hair though.
>>11640587Good! that's what I was hoping for. I'll have to get her then.
>fell asleep be repliesMan Christmas time is rough >>11640489>>11640619Thanks for the replies, I'll look into these
Holy where did all the parts for xiao come from, the thighs, stomach and honkers are PEAK!!!!!!!!
>>11640647>>11640489
has anyone listened to Arcanadea's ASMR tracks? ASMR doesn't do shit for me but the stories are pretty cute. Makes me wish the anime would release soon.
>>11640842Is the horse in it?
>>11640900Her name is Elena
>>11640902Banana horse
>>11640842Nope, I'm EOP, and I don't reckon they're available in English anywhere?>Makes me wish the anime would release soonI forgot, do we have an ETA for that? Either way, the Frame Arms Girl anime was top comfy, so I'll watch this one as well.
Im considering doing last purchase before shipping from certain European shop. How is Shiki Rokkaku? Fun, good kit?
>>11640647The lower body is Carp Seal's koi body xl with a custom waist. Chest plate is Junes202's bl2 bust 3L with the puni mofu 3L cover. He has a 4L on both, but it collides with the owls. The current chest plate is getting swapped out with the Xaio specific chest parts when they come out since I like the sculpt better. These may go to to Kin Xaio/Kinshao if Carp Seal does another run of color E bodys.
>>11641005She alright, first time assembly friendly, would suggest getting a can of gold paint being the only part that is that color in on the head.
>>11640619>Considering what an absolutely chunky kit she is, 77 is pretty damn good actuallyIm pretty excited. We never get articulated lamina anything. I got a second one for a Jasmine custom.
Hypothetically speaking. If I were to 3D scan Girpla parts then sell the STLs online, which site would I post them to? I know Japanese sites like Booth would tear me apart.
>>11640918>ETASoon (tm). I'm hoping they manage to work in lots of cameos, maybe a couple of FAGs at least.
Just finished Paladin's recolor. She lost a sparing match to Knight, driven back by the sheer force of her smug.
Swimsuit squad complete. Now I just have to wait until my Puni Mofu recolors arrive to keep growing my 'cute girls horsing around at the beach' shelf. Soon I'll be able to assemble a block 2 body in my sleep.
>>11641161>>11641164Paladin really is a cutie. I still need to build both of mine; while I own all of the Buster Dolls, the only one I've actually assembled so far is Midnight Fang Gunner.
>>11641161>>11641164Nice. Still need to finish my Tank (recolor + OG) and Knight (recolor). Guess I'll eventually get OG Knight and Gunner to have them all.>>11641175>Paladin really is a cutie.That she is.
>>11641196I was actually considering recoloured Paladin since she is at discount at my usual shop. I'm not entirely convinced if to take her, >>11641005 Shiki or Baselard (non-animated version). Then again, Baselard would cost 75€ sommaybe that's not good idea.
PUSH PUNI MOFUS DOWN THE STAIRS
>>11641155Thigiverse, and the purple site. Problem is if that Koto, Bandai, and the like are actually actively patrolling for stuff like that. They let it go sometimes if you don't charge anything for it, but the ones that charge get taken down almost immediately.
>>11641534>the purple siteThis isn't reddit anon you can say cults3D…
>>11640421Mr premium topcoat is my go-to, but there seems to be a shortage in the west... something to do with changes to hazmat shipping rules messing up all kinds of paint shipments, presumably.
>>11636713I'd kill for an egyptian/middle eastern style faction
Seems like Puni models are wildly popular here. Why is that?
>>11641797Mao and Tu because loli. Xiao because mommy, not sure if Lang is super popular but she's nice, too.
>>11641563I said purple because I straight up forgot what it's called. I'm actually shocked I even remembered Thingiverse' name.>>11641797Mao and Tu are the first proper loli girlpla we've gotten (proper being the key term here since we've had things like the Chitocerium loli twins before), and loli is EXTREMELY popular when it comes to any sort of otaku-centric goods. They're cute, relatively easy to obtain due to the sheer numbers they were produced in compared to a lot of other girls, and serve as excellent bases for all sorts of diminutive customs. Lang and Xiao have the big sister/mama energy and thus pair up with Mao and Tu perfectly. Puni Mofu are just a perfect storm as far as girlpla go.
>>11641799>not sure if Lang is super popularI wasn't interested in her first release but I like the silver version a lot more so I preordered it.
God bless the guy at Nuke Matrix who insists on a pair of stockings being included in their kits.
>>11640918>I don't reckon they're available in English anywhere?You might be able to throw them into Gemini and ask for a translated script. I've tried it with some other stuff and surprisingly it works. These files are too long for the free plan though
>>11640842What material is out there? I once translated an entire jrpg with free online tools. I might be able to figure out some way to dump the dialog to jp characters and then English if I had files
>>11641155I wonder if Booth would be chill if you made it free then put a "boost (tip) option right beneath it.

If I'm in the US is there any way to get my hands on the special soft goods I've been seeing on the dress-up bodies? Are they all koto store exclusives? I'd like to get at least one set of koto-curated soft goods before I die. I think the Sousai line is so cool, but it's not easy to explain to anyone. It would be pretty cool if they gave us a Sousai with articulated eyeballs like the new megalomaria they're making, but I suppose they reserve that kind of stuff for more experimental lines. For anybody interested there are some eye decal jigs on sale on hobbysearch right now.
>>11641959fun idea>These files are too long for the free plan thoughI figured out if you chop up the files and batch them together gemini accepts it just fine, somehow. Here's Lumitea's first chapter as a test. It's ai so take it with a grain of salt ofchttps://files.catbox.moe/5ixmjs.txt
>>11642589Are they not up on the US Koto store? > It would be pretty cool if they gave us a Sousai with articulated eyeballsThey've got the tech now with the Megalomaria releaess, just a matter of time before they put out some standalone.Speaking of soft goods, Alphamax just put 4 up for pre-order. The dinosaur one is very cute.
>>11642589>Are they all koto store exclusives?Yes, which is so dumb because the bodies are general releases. So you can either shop around for 1/12 doll clothes or try to find Koto's own stuff pre-owned (branding is Tiny Closet btw). Or just let your SST girls strut around topless if you're into that.
>>11633077She is here fast and with no problems but need to make time to pickup manually in local post office. I wish mandarake have unregistered air small too it's usually their package that get stuck on custom, This year alone 3 different gunpla and 1 dvd shipment was held by them.
Saw these two are getting reissued. Are they nice you guys like them? I wish they weren't advertised with all that shading that they won't have desu
>>11642849Have you ever built a Megami Device? They'll seem strangely familiar. I kinda messed up left but that was me be retarded and not a problem with the kit. My main criticism is that only one face is pre-printed and you'll have to use decals for the eyes on the others, even though they have pre-painted mouths. Such a weird corner to cut. Having said all that, Lania's underboob gives me life.
>>11642869>I kinda messed up left but that was me be retarded and not a problem with the kitMe too. I was seam welding Sophia's legs and somehow fucked up and let her ankle get glued in place, then broke it trying to force it. Lucky for me her foot was in a fairly neutral position so it's not too big a deal, but unfortunate and entirely my own fault.
>>11642869Do they come with the eye decals at least?
>>11642953They do, but I think there's no spares. There is enough for each face with a few extra. I think...
>>11642977Yeah, there's like two sets for some of the expressions, so not a lot extra. They're fairly forgiving so I think I only fucked one up, but definitely take your time and be careful.
>>11642977>>11643099thanks. seems like bbts has sofia on sale and nin nin has rania in stock so I may not even wait for the reissues
>>11643152You can get Sofia for like 3k Yen off ami in the pre-owned tab. Pre-owned Rania is unfortunately over the pre-order price.
