Lin and Lon are S-type MDs despite the art looking more like M-types.
>>11659571>>11659573I like the dragon one, but there's not nearly enough changed from the OGs to make me justify buying another...The one with the blade at least had gotten new roller-skate shoes.
>>11659584They changed more here than between Mao and Tu/Lang and Xaio and those are all quite different.
>>11659584They are both dragons.
New Faces for Madam Tsukuyomi Fabulous
>>11659565S H O R T S T A C K SHORTSTCKS
>>11659592Cute mole. I liked the gloomy fujo look more. Purple fit her better too.
>>11659571This one can have the neck arranged in a ring on the back while the dragon heads are on her arms>>11659573This one can have the blades split so that she can hold half as swords/tonfas while the other hand is on her back as wings.
>>11659595She'll be better with the parts rearranged and different hair. I'm sure someone will gk the hell out of her to look totally different from normal Tsukuyomi.
>>11659600Now that you mention it, recolors usually do have some changes or swap parts, at least the hairdo was different. Here's there's nothing. Even the same spinal cord decals are shown...
>>11659607No. ALL recolors as far back as W.I.S.M. have just been new expressions at most.Things like Raptor, and the ex-knights are not recolors. Souen is not a recolor, but Gurren is one of Souen.
Dem tidys is MASSIVE
>>11659564>More PunisWell, I don’t know what else I expected from the line that reused the Ninjas to oblivion. The dragon is kind of cool but I like the second tacticool girl the most of this bunch: >>11659569 >>11659565Kind of curious about the nuns. Maybe a bit too lewd for me, though.Kind of
>>11659627Which dragon, there are two.
>>11659627Bkb2-a is quite modest.
>>11659652>modestThat looks not quite Archer levels of tiddy but at the very least Kaede-tier.
>>11659656It looks more between Archer and Ninja, but it is fully covered.
>>11659656>Kaede-tierSo the upper size of small.
>>11659571>>11659573Finally more girls on the S body (stands for Sex). I will buy every loli MD koto wants to pump out.
>>11659649Oops. The black deco one. Not interested in the other one.>>11659652Ah, so she is. I think I’ll get it to pair with my Bullet Knight Nun, then. Though the small ones in the middle seem to have asymmetrical boob windows?
Aaaaghhhhhh where can I buy Mikoruru!!!
>>11659719They do.>>11659722Yahoo japan.
>>11659569>They changed the last girl's armamentsI was looking forward to the gatling gun but the giant cannon arm looks cool too
>>11659695Kaede is underrated.
>>11659835should be barefeet teebs
>>11659600is that a fucking bionicle?
>>11660090It's her little skeleton dude who turns into a scythe.
>>11659839She was my first Megami Device I got, first plastic girl model I modified (added elements made out of polystyrene sheets, early work so it looked mediocre now but back then I felt proud) and second plastic girl model (first was blue Innocentia) so I have soft spot for her.
I just found out this existed from a youtube video.
Anyone get billed by HLJ for big Ao yet? Supposedly she came out on the 24th but now she's marked discontinued and is sold out elsewhere. The bastards better not have stiffed me again.
>>11660220HLJ have it as released on the 26th, and it's currently the weekend, and it's Christmas, and they're clearly backed up to high fuckery. I wouldn't panic too much just yet.
>>11660237>clearly backed up to high fuckeryMost of which is their own making. The last shipment I got from them took three weeks from the day I paid to even leave the warehouse, right into the teeth of Christmas shipping slowdowns. I finally got it the other day and this was their packaging job. They used to be so good and now they are so slow and apparently I can look forward to Amazon-tier packaging, too. I still have a bunch of things in my private warehouse and I'm really dreading paying 2026 shipping rates for this bullshit.
>>11660281>I'm really dreading paying 2026 shipping rates for this bullshit.are they increasing the rates in january?
>>11660337I don't know for sure but it wouldn't be surprising.
>>11659564I finished kosmos, my first mecha musume, had fun doing her but it turned out wobbly in one leg's hip joint, and some gold pieces around the chest fall off constantly and leave nub marks, what do? I definitely enjoyed my time, I'll get a frame arms girl, 30ms and a megami puni mofu now
Spent almost all of yesterday putting together the girl for Twelves War Samael. Anyone else build this? I had to and pretty much every joint and even some things that aren't joints to get it together. My fingers are devastated
Finally finished recreating Knightmaster Architect (and throwing on some extra wings for coolness points). I missed out on the actual Knightmaster set when it first came out, but thanks to some Black Friday coupons I was able to get all of the parts to make her myself for far cheaper than it would have cost me to buy her full kit secondhand. She's badass.

>>11660516
Anyone built Plamatea's Baltimore? My Plamatea experience has been all over the place.
>>11660427That's quite literally par for the course. She's a notoriously mediocre (at best) kit. The newest release of her is just a reprint of her ancient original, which was back when Koto barely knew what they were doing with Girlpla. It takes a lot of elbow grease to fix due to all the little imperfections the thing is riddled with. Lots of cementing things into place, seam line removal, and thickening joints up.
>>11660620I am aware, but as a xeno fag I don't have many options when it comes to it. I took it as a learning experience too so I can compare it with more modern kits. Maybe practicing with seam line removal and airbrushing only the gold segments wouldn't be a bad idea
>>11660220Just to let you know, I got charged for mine this morning, so you can start panicking if you haven't.
>>11660829I guess I'm grabbing a pre-owned from Amiami if/when one appears. After pre-ordering on day fucking one. I am so done with HLJ and their bullshit.
I have a few questions, friends, are those nippers with a flat side truly better than double sided blades? Any advice for good sanding sticks?
>>11660926>are those nippers with a flat side truly better than double sided blades?Yeah, the blunt side of the nipper provide a cutting surface for the plastic to rest on, allowing for a neater cut with less stress marks. You don't have to go crazy branded ones if they're your first ones. Brands like Trumpeter will provide a good ratio of quality and price. >Any advice for good sanding sticks?Depends how ghetto you wanna go. 4-6 sided nail files from a pharmacy/drugstore might just hit the right spot, and with proper technique you can polish the plastic to a sheen of your choice. Want something more complicated? You can grab double-sided foam tape and stack it once. Apply it on a handy sized piece of stick with chosen modeling sandpaper grit to emulate those fancy japanese sanding sticks. Or just buy them off HLJ, but I heard they went down the drain with their service recently.It all honestly depends what's available around you.
>>11660940Awesome, thanks anon! What about those polishing glass stones I see from videos? What's their name?
>>11660943Glass sanding sticks? They're fancy re-usable sanding sticks. I don't know much about them unfortunately. I mostly clean up my nubs with my knife, and only somewhat recently been experimenting with sanding for texturing and masking nub spots.
>>11660940>Or just buy them off HLJ, but I heard they went down the drain with their service recently.And how. I'm >>11660281 and I regret everything. I am not placing another order with them. Once the current batch of orders gets filled (or not), I'm done with them.
>>11660840first time I've personally heard of of a nonbandai kit getting the old "lol you preordered too late" treatment.But I feel you, I got some stuff on PO I didn't order day one and currently have stuff listed as discontinued that I never got charged for, like the other anon said it could be the holiday rush, but I wouldn't put it past HLJ to never deliver, support did tell me my figure should be sorted soon and check in at the end of january if it hasn't changed.
HLJ charge me for raider maiden, hope they send my shit fast... and let me dogde my country tariffs pls!
>>11660965HLJ got my parcel I paid shipping for out the door in about 26 hours, hopefully all these nonsensical delays are coming to a close.
>>11660965i'm waiting on her too, and daytime meteor
The extra parts for Sestieh arrived today.I just build half legs only because the extra ass/hips looks smaller.
>>11659600>>11659592She is literally Wiz the necromancer from Konosuba
>>11661122Well, can't unsee that. Not with those digits, anyway.
Is there anything I need to know before building Xiao? Any joint to sand before assembling? She's my first MD
>>11661242Be careful when assembling her pelvis pieces - they tend to snap more easily on the Puni Mofus than they do on other MDs for some reason.
>>11660220I'm still waiting on my Gold Ritter, Baselard and Raider. And a package I paid the shipping for .... a month ago today.
>>11660281I can buy a kit from yahoo Japan, have it shipped to my forwarding service and shipped to my gate in about 7 days, and not be horribly gutted by shipping. There is a strange discrepancy with hlj's shipping prices, I can gave a roughly 2.5 sq ft package shipped for less from ami ami of all places right now for a third what hlj is charging. I just finished out the p-bandai mg wing kits on yahoo Japan, about 5 kits and the mirage frame and shipping was under 200 usd.
