>>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.
>>11660515
>>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.
>>11661337What forwarding service are you using, and what country are you shipping to? I've got a Tenso account set up already, so I'm wondering if I should just have all my shit sent to them if forwarding shipping is so much better.
>>11660022god she's too cute
>>11661078Those thighs/legs are made for the original 3 girls and not Sestieh's massive ass so might look a little off
>>11661360Blackship to the US, or buyee for yahoo Japan since they got weird about overseas customers. Buyee has you play Russian roulette on shipping though.
>>11661482Erotic womb tattoo and inguinal region
Is Daibadi the only company doing robot girls with big tits?
>>11661510If you want BIG then get some Megami Device bits from Booth.
>>11661510Wrong
>>11661524I get the feeling anon means actual robots and not “robots”.
>>11661534yeah, a little bit of flesh is OK but they should be majority robot
forgot to upload this before Christmas, its my second chito kit done as a flower like the strelitzia from last year.
>>11661553Well, too bad this is a shinki and fellas thread. Bro got an entire babidi thread for himself and chooses to come here.
>>11661657There hasn't been a Daibadi/Polynians General in more than two years. The threads got split up between here, /ctg/, and, to a lesser extent, /mrg/.
>>11661664>There hasn't beenMake one.
y'all getting these?
>>11661684I don't really like seamless stuff.
>>11661664>There hasn't been a Daibadi/Polynians General in more than two years.We got a couple of polynian generals this year. They got less than 50 posts before they auto staged and got bumped off
>>11661684what line are these for, MD?
>>11661717yeah think they had some pictures with puni mofu though it was just a black silhouette
>>11661684>finally something for flatties nice, I might
Anyone order from USA Gundam recently? Are they always slow to ship or is it the holiday backlog
>>11661078>>11661459i finished her armsI kept a portion of her original arm with that green thing.
>>11661729Their preorder/bulk shipping policy is the worst considering they can never seem to get items remotely close to on-time. I’ve been waiting almost a year for an order because one item hasn’t arrived yet, but they already have my money and their cancellation fee is annoying. They are also consistently slow on shipping. I’d recommend Newtype or Gundam Planet in the future.
>>11660965>discontinued instead of order stopoh nononono
>>11661838Give em a couple more days.My chassis had the same thing happen but got in pw after a few days.Also, hlj shipping discount when?I got more than 100 items in there now. lol
>>11661482Who is the cutie on the right
>>11661919The other 30MS Oni Girl, Shuremi. Both have had some extensive paint and sculpt work done.
>sanded down a short peg because I was watching movies while building
>>11661887>Also, hlj shipping discount when?Ahahahahahaha. Ha. They'd need to fix their shipping backlog first.
enduring some jank for cuteness sake, but mangs, imma stay ashamed that the longer hair and maid accessories cost me as much as the fiore herself did.
>>11661994As long as I can save money I'm fine.I got 4 shipments to make that cost 95k yen each to ship after tariff fees.
Thoughts on this gal? I'm not familiar with the company making her and can't tell if she's an original IP or something else, but she looks pretty cool. Has anyone here ever bought anything from MS General before? What's the quality like?
>>11662192
>>11662193
>>11662192MS General's quality is perfectly fine. On the upper end of chinkpla manufacturers, judging by my own experiences.
>>11662192Modern MS General is perfectly fine. Maybe some malformed fitting here and there, but overall perfectly fine. It's only their older stuff that was riddled with common issues.
>>11661992You should be giving your girl your undivided attention
>>11662192Look up mecha break falcon
Xiao is extremely hot
>>11662299Dommy bird mommy.
>>11662299>>11662315I need to get off my ass and build mine already. And reduce my backlog in general.New Year's resolution? Surely those work out, right?
>>11662320I said I would build more last year and accordingly in 2025 I managed to finish a grand total of 3 kits.
>>11662192The brand is good enough that my hand is hovering over the preorder button after having seen just these images. Nice design.
Finally, lore accurate Xaio
>>11662192>>11662193Chinese arnval?
>>11662597After Googling Mecha Break, it seems she's closer to a Frame Arms Girl than a Busou Shinki in that she's a personified mech from an existing franchise (the only Shinki I remember being personified vehicles instead of original designs were the Vic Viper twins).Specifically, this girl seems to be this mech in pic related - the Falcon.
>>11662647that's why it's so sexy, the back pack is great
>>11661510How is the Polynian Torin? Im thinking about getting her for myself
Happy New Year, guys and girls. Best wishes from Europe!
>>11662686She's cool - I like how she has both gun-hands and actual arm cannons. She's also a return to the original concept of Polynians in that she actually has nipples and a much more blatant vulva like the old Clover GK did (though she also has the 'censored' breasts as an option); I just wish she used the Clover body instead of the thicc Iana one.Also, the new Valuca version of her has better color separation - it's easier to tell what's skin and what's clothing on her than on the original.
>>11662715Happy new year Anon>>11662717Thanks for the answer and i got two more questions about the Polynian. First do they ever do reruns of older models? Second does the Polynian Machaon Figure matches some other Polynian Figure color?
>>11662827>First do they ever do reruns of older models?Yes, but it can be years in-between. They've rereleased Shamrock, Clover, Iana, and a few others once or twice already, and Pinkle (another Motoroid like Torin) just got her reissue (grab her if you can find her - she's cute).>Second does the Polynian Machaon Figure matches some other Polynian Figure color?Yes, he matches all of the others, though it depends on which version of him you get - he has a normal white variant (which matches Clover, Shamrock, and so on) and a grey variant (which matches their respective grey releases). Polynians are designed for parts-swapping, so their colors all match to some degree or another - the only exceptions are the first runs of Clover and Shamrock, who are a different shade of white from their rereleases. Otherwise, the Polys all come in one of three colors (white, grey - the equivalent of a sun tan for their kind, according to lore - and black, which is supposed to be a latex catsuit), so matching greys with grey bodies or whites with white bodies works just fine. Pic related is Pinkle's head on a Clover (reissue) body; technically, you could slap Machaon's head on the same body and make him a girl, since the colors will match. Arms and legs can be swapped, too, but that only really makes a difference with 'clothed' Polynians.
>>11662686>>11662717>>11662855Go make a polynyan thread, or go to the coomer thread.
>>11662590
>>11662930Or not. They're robot girls; they're on-topic and do get posted here occasionally.You don't have to like it. No one cares.
>>11662989No, they are not on topic, this is not the "robot girl" general, and occasional is once every 5 to 10 threads, by tourists that don't know they 90% of the time have their own thread. If you let one in they all try to come in.
Someone at Takara tomy is really freaking proud of this thing. They've been flooding the t-spark page with her non-stop.
>>11663060With how expensive she is I reckon they're just desperate for her to sell well.
They're doing a Pink Nurse set for Emulator.
>>11663059>this is not the "robot girl" generalNTA, but it literally is - this is the Mecha Musume general. It's in the title. Also, why are you having a meltdown over it? We've had other people post Polynians here before. What's your personal problem with someone coming here when their general basically doesn't exist anymore? Moreover, what gives you the right to gatekeep? Literally no one else is complaining about it.
>>11663097polynians attract pedophiles like in that discord, it's dead and no one cares to maintain it's own general here you can't come crying to here because no one cares about your boring fetish dolls
>>11663090can they reprint her firstfuck
New P-Bandai Acerby set >>11663101According to the Megalomaria blog post they really underestimated how popular Emulator was going to be and they've upped production for her as best they can. You should be able to grab one easily when she's out.
>>11663099>A line filled with tittymonsters attracts pedophiles>brings up Discord Where did you wander in from, again?
>>11663099>"We don't want them here because that line that's never produced a single loli or shota coded character attracts pedophiles!">He says, posting in a thread that literally has two lolis in the OP>In a general that was founded on a toyline that featured many loli characters with their own dedicated body size class, MMS3rd SmallAre ya stupid, son?
i have to sand down the shoulder joint if it keeps popping off right? first time i've encountered this on a MD (kuro mao)
>>11663097Just ignore that loser he had a meltdown about something similar a few month ago, maybe he finally came crawling back to bitch more
>>11663102We need a new female Mecha from the 30 minutes missions line. Acerbies aren't enough.
>>11663090That looks pretty good. I never got a Ruby Eye, so this could be my excuse, assuming I can get a couple Emulators. Or I can give it to an old Seeker, would be about the same effect.
>>11663102i sure hope so, i really want the extra eyes that come with the koto online store release>>11663148that's lewd. is the chest custom?
>>11663156>>>11663148>that's lewd. is the chest custom?NTA, but it's made with runner putty using the kit as base.Here's YT channel of the guy who made it. https://www.youtube.com/@Henta963
>>11663102After the 2 PBandai G-Self that haunting me the silhouettes only remind me of it
>>11663148Super hot. I still hold out hope for a swimsuit Gourai since we already got Hres and Styko. May your new year be full of FAGs.
>>11663097You can project as much as you want, you will not change what this general is for. Now, for the millionth time, let me explain what mecha musume is on the scope of this general. Mecha musume is a combination of mecha like from Gundam, Armored Core, Brave, and many more with... very very importantly... the perception of a human girl. She does not have to be fully human, and in many cases is fully robotic, but at a glance appears to be human.Now with that said, there is a large spectrum of what is mecha musume. You can increase and decrease the amount the mecha aspect quite considerably and still qualify were no body would bat an eye at wometing being called mecha musume. The most important part, again, is that the girl MUST appear human to some degree. You have light mecha musume like the Nanoha series and Vividred, then you have shows like Symphogear, strike witches, and Infinite Stratos that are more obvious.Full mecha and gynoids are not mecha musume. Female themed mechas like the Ariel and Nobel gundams, female transformers, and many other similar robots are NOT in any way mecha musume, they have no perceived humanity, and are to the untrained eye obviously robots. Mecha musume should at the absolute maximum degree make you question whether or not the girl is human. Now polynian itself is in a very similar vein to Megalomaria. It in and of itself is not mecha musume. However, that it has flesh option parts results in a weird grey area. In its case its safer to air on the side of caution and not allow it due to the crowd it tends to attract, and it's similarly to other mecha brands opens a door to all kinds of problems.I much prefer a couple autists wigging out about mecha in the mecha musume general to opening the gates of off topic slop and the mental illness it will inevitably come with it.>>11663099>>11663105>>11663113It quite literally is the gender ambiguity of several characters and western mental illnesses that cause the issue.
>>11663116On a block-2 body there is a difference between popping out and falling out. Make sure it is actually popping out before you do this.Sand the end of the ball so that it is not a full sphere, but do not change the the width of the ball at all. This will let the ball sit in a little further and relieve pressure on the socket so that it won't pop out any more.
>>11663223>and in many cases is fully robotic, but at a glance appears to be human.So are you going to tell >>11663102 to fuck off because Acerbies are off-topic? They're less human-like than polynians
>>11663223Yeah, I ain't reading this shit. Just explain to me how this loli and the rest of her line count as Mecha Musume, and why you're fine with them being posted.
>>11663304It's a slippery slope Because shinki-FAG fall under Kotobukiya. So any sub girlpla that compatible for customisation like Arcanadea/Sousai shoujo and Megalomaria also get mentioned normally Same with 30MS and all the 30s adjacent and when they started making girlpla figure-rise standards also enter the roaster naturally TLDR; Whenever Kotobukiya and Bandai did a stream to announce new mecha musume products they always insert these lines too so it get added and mentioned naturally because their parts are interchangeable
>>11663223>It quite literally is the gender ambiguity of several characters and western mental illnesses that cause the issue.That creates trannies, not pedophiles. Again, the line has not produced a single loli or shota character, meanwhile this general has been posting lolis literally since it was founded. Your dreaded pedos were already here before you ever were. And like >>11663304 and >>11663266 point out, there's been plenty of shit posted here that doesn't fit your personal definition of "Mecha Musume". Your entire argument just boils down to "you can't post that here because I, personally, don't like it", which isn't a valid argument in the slightest.
>>11663323>It's a slippery slope Because shinki-FAG fall under Kotobukiya.Not really. This isn't the Kotobukiya General. You're just making flimsy excuses now.
>>11663328Well at least post some Polynian with girl faces if not they are no difference than Medarot which also doesn't count as Mecha Musume even though they are sentient. People peel off acerby face and put 30ms faces and call it mecha musume itt even some irrelevant shit like idol master head being put into 30ms body counts
Hey, I’ve got no stake in this fight, but what I will say is that Polynian can’t support its own general because of the slowness of releases.I’ve previously owned two and they’ve never thrilled me, personally, and one of them was the police girl who had a flesh tone face, which was about as close to Mecha Musume as it gets. So while I’ll never recommend them to another person, I also don’t mind if they show up here once in a while.
Why do degenerate coomers need to talk about toys like they continually need to goon? Mental illness I tell you.
>>11663360>the police girl who had a flesh tone faceHow did you own something that hasn't released yet?
>>11663340>MedarotMedarot's welcome here. The only reason you don't see it posted is because it's not a line that gets a lot of Western releases.Seriously, bro, where did you come from that you think you can just show up and place your own arbitrary rules on what can and cannot be posted here?
>>11663097>>11663113>>11663266>>11663304>>11663325stop feeding the troll. move on and let him piss himself because he doesn't realize he isn't on plebbit. goddamn.
>>11663413If you don't push back against this hysteric fags then they bring in their buddies and turn generals into garbage fires.Moving back on-topic, tfw no Acerby gf
>>11663304Maybe her giant mechanical wings and tail anon. We are long past this point anon, Arcanadea has always been mecha musume from the get go, and now it has the XenoAlma too. Sit the fuck down.
>>11663325Anon, show me were I mentioned lolis or pedophiles... oh I didn't.And don't tell me what I like and don't, I quite like polynian, this just isn't the place for it.
>>11663386Here's your mecha musume bro.
>>11663423>tfw no Acerby gfThis but Gourai. I know there's that weird robot thing but we're clearly not there yet technology-wise. The grande scale is neat, though. I need to build her hand scale as well but man those are a pain, dozens of missing color apps that are also tiny.
>>11663467I wish more companies could get into the big scale girlpla thing, considering how much money girlpla makes in general
>>11663340Occasonal discussion of sibling lines like Megalomaria, 30ms, 30mf, and Sousai don't hurt anything. I'm just not putting them in the op.I think I'm going to make a bunch of meme templates for when this bs flares up.
>>11663475Fuuuck I don't, the grand scale girls are just too damn big to be a continuous line...I think once they do most of the main fags they should slow down. And for the love of God I hope they don't ever start doing megami device.
>>11663380I was thinking of Atty, who really has more of a schoolgirl vibe. My bad.>>11663386Man, I wish Medarot had a Mecha Musume equivalent. So many good designs. But if the LBX girl line died, I can understand why they might be hesitant to try a Medarot one. But we got Zoids Mecha Musume before Medarot, which is wild.
>>11663465She's hot.>that crotch plateL-lewd!
>>11663454>mechanical wings and tailHave you never seen a Valstrax before? Segmented armor doesn't mean they're mechanical, and the arm parts certainly look organic to me - hell they look natural on her official artwork. There are no screws or panel lines on any of her parts to indicate that they're intended to be artificial in any way; they're just segmented because she's an articulated model kit that needs to have gaps so the parts can move.
>>11663518There is an anime coming out stop being a dense mother fucker
>>11663518Anon, stop pretending to be retarded. Charmed has a mecha gauntlet, all the wings on the angels are connected to a mechanical hub. Both demons equipment can transform, Aruarils beast limbs are mechanical and can combine with Meltina's stuff. And again, all the XenoAlma are support robots that combine with the girls.
>>11663485>And for the love of God I hope they don't ever start doing megami device.Speak for yourself Anon, i for one would love a grand scale ASRA Tamamonomae and AUV Susanowo
>>11663527What does the upcoming anime have to do with whether or not the character counts as a Mecha Musume? In fact, isn't the whole lore behind Arcanadea that the characters are interdimensional beings that crossed over due to whatever the fuck that weird energy source people were using going haywire? That doesn't mean they're robots - the trailer even shows Lumitea eating real food, and the bio for the Garuda gal says she likes curry. Mini robot girls don't eat real food, anon.>XenoAlmaThat's a thing now, but it wasn't when the line started. Even then, I'm not sure they count; rather than being sci-fi mechas, they appear to be fantasy golems - "animals" made out of enchanted pieces of armor, held together and animated by elemental magic.
>>11663533>Charmed has a mecha gauntlet,No? Nothing about this gauntlet looks mechanical - the artwork doesn't even have segments on it. Seems like it's just a standard-fare fantasy armored gauntlet - no cogs, no gears, no pulleys, no seams or gaps like you'd expect to see on something mechanical.>all the wings on the angels are connected to a mechanical hubThey're connected to a magic circle. The implication is that they're not actually attached at all and can be summoned/de-summoned at will, and they literally grow or shrink in size.>all the XenoAlma are support robots that combine with the girls.Again, there doesn't appear to be anything mechanical about them. They're fantasy-style golems made out of enchanted armor and held together with elemental magic - water for the first one, fire for the second so far.
Anyone got thoughts on these? How do they compare to modern Koto or 30MS kits?
>>11663537They did do grande scale Gene, so they've shown a willingness to branch out. I'd build a big Susan for sure.
>>11663596Iris is great.
Holy shit, the "mecha musume" posting above is retarded. This thread has been a GIRLPLA general for fuckin' years now. The title is just a legacy title honoring where things came from.>>11663596Iris, Dracaena, and the astronaut one are perfectly fine. They're not on Koto's level, but there's nothing majorly wrong with them either. They very much fall into that "if you like the way they look you'll be happy with them" category. Anything other than those three, at least currently, sucks.
YES finally my grand scale Stylet is coming soon
Just a bit late for new year's, a wild kitsune appears!
>>11663102>>11663150yeah I'd prefer a new body, preferably with significantly thicker proportions, that works better with 30MF partsBut I've only got three Acerbies so fuck it I'l buy that one too
>>11663549It's fantasy beings interfacing with a hyper realistic vrmmo that accidentally connects to their world. The real girls are normal sized living beings but that cam further enter our world through some thus explained means. They could still be tiny robots, but we don't know yet.>>11663821This has ALWAYS been the Busou Shinki general, and has never been rebranded as such. Op has since added mecha musume to the title for clarity on what the "friends" means. Remember, Shinki weren't model kits.
>>11664391Go back to bed Granpa Planelegs
>>11664391>Remember, Shinki weren't model kits.This. They were full, preassembled figures of little robot girls, and there's no reason why other robot girl action figures wouldn't be welcomed here. Hell, Drossel used to get posted here pretty often, and no one bitched about it.
Release month always feels the longest...
>>11664494>They were full, preassembled figures of little robot girls,drossel isn't small in her lore she is human size and doesn't belong here, much like polynian coomers that make everything about how chunky their penis can get
>>11664494Can you fuck off for a little bit, 50 years would be nice.
>>11664496>drossel isn't small in her lore she is human sizeSame with both the Sousai gals and Megalomaria, but that doesn't seem to bother you in the slightest for some reason.>>11664497Why would I do that? Your resistance only makes me hornier, anon.
>>11664513no one cares about your stupid pregnant dolls you fucking retard there's a reason the ploynian discord is full of pedophiles and the general died
>>11664516sounds more like self reporting to me anon if you are balls deep in some random tism-discord
>>11664494>Drossel>Girl
>>11664516>Knows this much about the legacySooooo you're basically one of them?
>>11664516Sounds like fucktard got kicked from discord and is sour about it. kek
>>11664496>chunky Dead give away this is athena. Nothing he says is worth hearing as his brain is rotten from huffing his own farts.
>>11664516Pregnant...dolls? What are you on about? And who the fuck uses Discord? And scroll up to OP before making pedo accusations - you're in a thread where the most popular kits in recent years are literally lolis.>>11664525Yes...? Did you even see Fireball?
i cant wait for her
>>11664391>This has ALWAYS beenWhat don't you get about the "has been for years now" bit? Jesus fucking Christ, every time you open your mouth you just repeatedly push your own shit in. You're a literal knuckle-draggin ape. It's not about Shinki anymore, let alone just figures. It's girlpla and girlpla-adjacent figures NOW, and has been for something like SEVEN FUCKING YEARS.>>11664516>pedophilesYou're in the wrrrrrrrrrrong place, you broccoli-headed zoomer chucklefuck. You probably try to call child services when you see someone post a Puni Mofu with her tits out.
This about destroyed my fingers after all the sanding I had to do for the ball joints on the snake. Cool snake though.Just have a few accessories and the unit that connects her to the snake to be a robo-lamia left to do>captchaWtf is this? Never thought I'd miss letters so much
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Got my Mikolulu in yesterday. Can't believe this is the fourth 30ms girl hlj just didn't honor.She has a fairly minor balance issue because her heel piece doesn't slide down quite far enough, making it hard for her to stand in some situations. Her center of balance requires her to basically sit on the front of her feet, which is fine most of the time.Her head also has some antiquated design techniques for 30ms. She has large flat undetailed planks holding her hair in place. You don't see it from most angles, but upward angles can look kinda bad. Her hair also suffers from a lack of 3 part molding, so some of the surfaces particular in the front look really bad.Body wise she's good. No self destructive ankles, nothing gets in the way of posing, and her upper arm and hip armor is awesome. Her blade holders are a little bland, they could have been designed to look more like bat wings, bit they still provide a nice silhouette.She isn't the best 30ms girl, but she still is very nice. She's probably just under Illshana for me, who's like in 4th or 5th place depending on my mood. She's no Rishetta or Tiasha wear, but she is still worth the pick up if you can get her.
>>11664971As for Tiasha Dalia wear... she's excellent.The only marginal complaint I can make is that she is a little sparce on parts, but even that is pushing it. She is very solid, and the parts she does have are very nicely designed.
>>11664971>Under IlshanaDamn, and she’s probably my favorite 30MS girl in terms of build. I like Rishetta Wear too but I don’t think she’s perfect. Is Tiasha really that much better…?>>11664984Is that a new knee joint? I’m hoping so, because the old bare knee joints sucked.
So, I'm not sure if 30ms around has introduced Mikolulu yet, but I'm fairly sure she is supposed to be the third member of Neverlia's team. Mikolulu apparently is highly frustrated due to Luluce's perceived laziness. Basically Mikolulu is the hard working honor student type while Luluce is the slow air head that somehow makes better grades with no effort.
>>11664969Huh. This does remind me to ask, though... does anyone make girlpla shortstacks? I want to kitbash a little horde of goblin girls for my shelf but I just can't find anything with the proper scale or proportions to use as a base.I have a couple Hexa Gear Governesses and they're about the right height I'd want, but they're all skinny bitches in battle armor.
>>11665001why can't you coomers just fuck off
>>11664994My top 5 ranking right now is Rishetta Freesia/Rishetta/AlkaSestiehTiasha DahliaIllshanaMikoluluBottom 5 right now arePowerariLilinelLaranelFarinaTiashaThe rest kinda slot in anywhere in between. Og Rishetta has more articulation than any other girl thus far, and feels as solid as the wear version. Anything using the og Tiasha body is awful. The rabbit body is also really bad. Turkina and Powerari do a whole lot for their body types with so much extra stuff you can start to ignore how bad the body is. I can't put Alka above her base body, because even though she has extra parts, they don't really do anything meaningful besides turn into some very jank subarms, and with the extra money she costs you can just get og Rishetta and her speed armor, which I like better.
>>11664994I've never really seen the dislike of the flesh knees, I think for single joint knees they work great, you may just need to tighten them a little.
>>11665009Seems like you've got a little bit of misplaced hostility there, friend. Someone shit in your Wheaties this morning, hmm?
>>11665014NTA, but I don't like the single joint for giving less articulation space. Even if the difference is miniscule, the double joint just feels nicer to pose.I'm both glad and not that bandai didn't just copy the thigh indents for the shins that MDs mostly have.
Was also quite surprised to see Neverlia's thigh runner on Mikolulu, it also means we now have Neverlia's heels in black for all the body sets with soles for it.
>>11665019I'm fine with the articulation loss. The range of the human knee doesn't usualy bend a full 180°, the 135° they do get is good enough.
>>11665020Thanks for sharing opinion, I really appreciate it.Speaking about 30MS, I can't help but wonder what exactly went wrong with latest batch of Sisters and how low their availability is. When Sestieh appeared in EU shops (only one shop for me, in fact, which was very odd), she sold out in minutes, when I got back from work that day I right away grabbed remaining optional parts sets 18, 19 and 20 and turned out I got last ones left ("nurse" body was already sold out). Even now Sestieh can reach absurd prices for "used" ones in Japan. Couldn't be that Bandai severely underestimated demand? Even now last Sister that appeared in EU was Rydira instead.Also, I was snapping together said optional sets lately and while limbs sets ("dash" and "float") are quite good, "Sergeant" costume is somewhat odd, at least time - feels very weak in hands, almost like about to pull apart at any moment. Which is a shame since I really like the design.
>>11665039>("nurse" body was already sold out)Shame. I got one for a project I'm doing just because it was pink and now I wish I'd gotten two to do an actual nurse-themed character with. The way the arms and torso are molded to look like a cutoff jacket with the sleeves pushed up is really neat. Whole thing just looks good.
>>11664998Micoruru looks so cool, can't wait to get mine, but I really need to upgrade my nippers to single blade and buy new sanding sticks
>>11663939Just putting the finishing touches on mine. I've got her on an MSG flying base neo since it's mentioned in the instructions for I think all the grande scale kits I've gotten to date. Seems to work okay, which is good since I bought 4 lol.
>>11665071Enjoying the smugness of this faceplate.
guys ive never built a megami device before. is this shit kind of hard or am i just low iq? why are there so many bags? why are the instructions not stapled? how am i supposed to read the instructions if there is no english anywhere? i dont even know where to start or wat do...
>>11665080The instructions are all pictograms, the lack of staples is a recent thing.Bags double as box filler, meaning that your plastic runners don't rub against each other or or bump around too muchEach runner has a letter assigned to it, and each piece has a number assigned to it, meaning when instruction calls for a specific piece it will be called in a letter-number format e.g. "E11" Be sure to follow the instructions very carefully! There's a lot of small and similar looking pieces. If you have a puni-mofu model, the instructions should be labelled as following:0 - variant parts (I have Kuro Mao and it's present) 1 - base body 2 - character specific parts and armorIf the amount of similar colors is overwhelming to you, you can take a piece of masking tape, wrap it around the edge of the runner and write the runner's letter on it to make it easier to spot and read. If you happen to break something, don't panic. You can easily repair most damage with proper tools.Be sure to take it slow and easy, with breaks. Whenever I build a model I do it over several days. Good luck!!
>>11665071She will be my first Frame Arms Girl anything i should know about them?
>>11665086arigato anon i think i figured it out. i was just surprised by the amount of pieces/runners having only built bandai kits before
>>11665092If anything I wish grande scale had been around when I started building girlpla just because all the parts are bigger and so there's less chance of breaking or losing something. Basically all they did was reproduce the existing Stylet but bigger, with a couple of parts changed to improve the color separation. The one thing I have learned over time is to paint the white stripes on her skirt and the gray/black areas around her waist before putting the skirt together. It's annoying to take apart to paint those areas later. The same is true of Gourai since they have a lot of common runners.
>>11665108In addition to what >>11665086 said, I find Google lens useful for translating the written instructions, or Kotobukyia makes English versions available on their website. They're usually fairly obvious once you've built a few kits, like 'cut the gate completely ' or 'be careful not to beak this bit off'.
>>11665080Block 2 sets have bad instructions meant to guide you to build the base Block 2 first and then make modifications based on the armor/set. Koto is a bit more obscure in their instructions than Bandai so I wouldn’t recommend MDs over 30MS, where the runners are portioned by body part. However, I don’t find Koto’s instructions to be too inscrutable so you might just need some more experience.
New to Shinkis here. Gotta ask - how bad is the issue with plasticizer leaking out of them that I've seen mentioned online? Is it just a given that if you get a Shinki, she'll be sticky/start getting sticky after some time, or is it only a thing with some older models, perhaps? If I'm reading correctly, most designs that charmed me were released later than others (2011, mostly), so I'm curious if that's something I should keep in mind, or just a thing on select figurines.
>>11665039I'm starting to think each EU country somehow got fucked over in a different way distribution-wise last year. Where I live, we seem to still have an overstock of the nurse outfit, but haven't had any new Sisters since Sourei (who sold out within a few hours of me seeing her appear in stock; Sestieh briefly appeared but then shared her fate, but we never got Shuremi and Rydira hasn't popped up yet)
>>11665071>>11665074>>11665128Wait... wait wait. "Grande scale?" So like, bigger than the regular size girls? How much bigger? Holy shit, this changes a lot of shit for me. I wanted to make a dragon-themed musume kitbash but I never did because I wanted her to be way bigger than my other kits. I might be able to finally build a fucking Tiamat to menace my adventuring party.
>>11665223Like 1/6? So about a foot tall.
>>11665238Oh. That might be too big.
>>11665223>>116652382/1, the base girls are 1/1.Functionality wise 1/6.>>11665176I own over a dozen and none are even sticky yet.if they start leaking ceramic coating fixes the issue. I also think a coat of floor polish and some tamiya would do it, but I have yet to test it.>>11665080Just think of them as puzzles. Puni mofu is particularly simple. Once you figure out the joint set up everything else can be assembled by the pictures on the box.
>>11665245Okay, right, technically 2/1 and functionally 1/6. It's easier to use a scale that relates to something irl like the height of a human rather than a fictional tiny android, with all due respect to Koto's lore. Plus the dream sequences in the anime where Gourai was human were super cute. Soon enough we'll have a Grande scale dress up body Gourai and I'm going to buy her so many outfits.
>heh that wasn't so hardOk I "finished" her bros. At least as much as I care to do. Probably won't bother with water slides or doing anything about the nubs. ngl I actually don't really like model kits because of how fragile they feel but i don't mind this one and she is really cute. Maybe I will get some more in the future.>>11665150What is block 2?
>>11662192I want ponytail
>>11665176>is it only a thing with some older models, perhaps?They're ALL older models - Busou Shinki is 16 years old. Plasticizer leaks are a known issue for them - if they were stored in a humid environment, they'll be goopy even if they were never opened. That being said, it's definitely more common on the older (MMS 1st-based) ones. I still have all of my old Shinki, and so far only my Strarf BIS has had the issue - all of my others are perfectly fine, but I long since came to peace with the fact that this can change at any time given their age.
>>11665288>What is block 2?You literally just built one. All of the Puni Mofu sets are using the Block 2 body design. Different Megami Devices use different body designs, so if you compared, say SOL Raptor's body, AUV Susanowo's body, and your Puni Mofu Yuki Tu's bodies, you'll notice they all use slightly different engineering and have slightly different looks.Also, sand down those nubs. Skipping the waterslides and not bothering with panel lining is fine, but de-nubbing is non-optional with these kits if you want something to look decent.
sorry to be such a newfag but I kept messing with Yuki Tu and I'm actually impressed with how customizable these are. I may have to look into more koto kits if they are like this, maybe some of their more "serious" character design lines>>11665298oh okay different body types. >Also, sand down those nubsyou know what anon maybe I will. At first I was concerned about damaging something and also thought I wouldn't really care that much about her but now I actually like her a lot more than I expected to so might be worth putting more work into her
>>11665039>>11665178I'll just add to this that I don't even think Sestieh actually appeared in my eu country, the listing is there, but the hobby store also has listings for future releases like it there so I don't know, meanwhile we got the oni sisters just fine and 30mm is zero issue, not sure if they're getting the newest ones later, I'd import them like I used too but well the removal of small air packet stops me there and I'm not trying to math out the most optimal mandarake shipping combo, shame there was some neat stuff I wanted but the shipping was the price of the items without import tax
>>11665223Ignore this guy's >>11665245 math cuz it's lore-wise fractions, not actual size.When compared to actual humans, normal scale is 1/10 which is the 6inch stuff, hand scale is 1/24, grande scale is 1/6.There's also a 1/1 scale robot thingy and a 1/100 scale miniature that's included in some of Koto's SST kits.
>>11665288Wait a minute, I thought Yuki Tu had a leotard, while normal Tu had the bare belly. Did you mix and match kits, or does she have another torso runner that I was unaware of?
Not long now for her.
>>11665453Yeah, you still get the flesh parts, and then an extra white runner to use instead. This is explained in the Part 0 page, which, I'm guessing, anon didn't notice/understand.(...Not that's there's anything bad about using the flesh belly, anon. You did nothing wrong.)
>>11665468>head fin stripes in plasticsweet.
>>11665472Kuro Mao is the same, the black tummy parts for the one-piece look are in addition to the skin tone ones. So mine is going to have a little black bikini when I build her.
>>11665288Yuki in particular looks so cute, I literally can't wait to get mine
>>11665325>>11665178My little theory, based on Japanese stereotypes about Poland, is that Japan honestly consider EU "single country". That would explain a lot.
>>11665544it wouldn't surprise me, it's just annoying, now that the "cheapest" shipping option is only EMS, so trying to grab a single kit for cheap from JP isn't possible anymore, genuinely comes out more expensive than getting it here. bad times for us builders.
>>11665223Here you have a good picture of what a grand scale Stylet is vs a normal one is
>>11665563It bothers me slightly that the underarm 'strap' on the Grande FAGs still isn't part separated.
>>11665262>Soon enough we'll have a Grande scale dress up body Gourai and I'm going to buy her so many outfits.We need flatter desu. Now with Baselard Grande coming in December we should get one. Speaking of which, has anyone been billed for her by HLJ? I'm starting to think my order won't be fulfilled, it's January and I still haven't been charged
are there any girl kits with a similar vibe to this?
>>11665317The itty-bitty teeny-tiny feet are throwing me off.
>>11665468>>11665469I might have gotten this if she didn't have a big triangle hole for her cleavage. But I also don't really like the color scheme and like the recolor even less.>>11665761They match her itty-bitty teeny-tiny chest :3 I'm actually surprised they can still stand pretty well even with such small feet.
>>11665760"Girl carrying big guns on her shoulders?" Yeah, metric fucktons of them. Can you be more specific?
>>11665766Yeah I looked at some of them. desu I guess I just want a Snow White figure, probably nothing else would scratch the itch so never mind :(
>>11665764Yeah, not giving her a chest piece without the armor gap was legitimately stupid. I'm just never going to remove that piece.
Did anyone get the payment notification for this bitch?I preordered her from HLJ, she's now listed as discontinued.
>>11665917>HLJYeah, good luck with that. They never filled my order for grande scale Ao and she's not the only order of mine lately they decided not to honor. I'm already in the process of taking my business elsewhere but with pre-orders that I now can't cancel because they conveniently changed their cancellation policy about the same time it's going to be six months before I can finally flip them the bird.
>>11665931You can contact support to cancel the open orders once you've locked down a replacement. No need to care about pissing them off if you're done with them.
>>11665934Yeah, having to contact support means they really fucked up. I should never have to do that. While it would fix that one order, I'm still stuck with a bunch more that they will probably do the same shit. I'm just salty because they used to be my go-to shop.
>>11665936>having to contact support means they really fucked up.They have, that's why you're taking your business elsewhere. Six months isn't such a big deal, but I was saying you could just nuke everything via email, though ideally after locking down another source. I haven't been affected by anything other than shipping delays I'm willing to forgive if they stop happening, but if HLJ ever fails to deliver on one of my non-Bandai preorders I'll probably be right behind you. On that note, who else was it that provided multiple months of storage? That's really the only reason to keep using them at this point, but I do enjoy having six months to consolidate.
>>11665223Ignore this guy's >>11665344 math, since koto girls are almost all considered 1/1 they don't scale consistently with any established major scale. If you concider Megami Device and Frame Arms Girl 1/10th, the problem starts that mds are smaller than 1/10th and fag is bigger. It's one of the reason that the materias are so thin, small doll clothes tend to look scrunched up on properly scaled bodies, so making them taller and thinner tends to make them look better. Megami device on the other hand was always intended to have a larger focus on use with M.s.g. sets and cross kit customization, so the use with cloth clothes was thrown out in favor.Grand scale is 2/1, so it, like the 1/1 girls does line up with most 1/6th scale clothes.
>>11665917I'm still missing my Grand base, gold Ritter, Shingen, and Raider. Even if I had gotten them paid for they still wouldn't have shipped out for a month plus. I still have a package from November that hasn't shipped.
>>11665917I pre-ordered her from Gundam Planet yesterday. I haven't had any issues with late pre-orders for 30MS from Gundam Planet so I'm comfortable that the MD Raider order will probably be fulfilled.
>>11665936>I'm still stuck with a bunch more that they will probably do the same shit.I talked with them recently and they agreed to cancel a lot of my stuff, granted I did it because I genuinely hit some money trouble this and next month but they seem to be understanding, but yeah HLJ is really shit for model kits now, so many backordered kits that are no doubt never actually getting filled, I am just chocked its also happening to non bandai kits now.
>>11665917Yes, from Amiami though.>>11665941>who else was it that provided multiple months of storage?Hobby Genki, but I'm not sure how long.Problem with them is that they sell out pretty fast, and they didn't even get some stuff in (I don't remember seeing e.g. Puni Mofu Lang or Xiao there, and I'd have to check but pretty sure they have no Bandai stuff). On the flipside, they often have good prices on kits/Koto stuff.Having things shipped out from your private warehouse is a bit cumbersome, too.
>>11665917I think they’ve been on vacation since Christmas? I had some other things that should have come in stock last week that are marked discontinued and they haven’t charged me either. I guess we’ll see today.
>>11665917>Did anyone get the payment notification for this bitch?not me
>>11665917I got it along with both chassis kits
>>11665955Eh. No one really cares about fictional scales. Skip.
>>11666034>I had some other things that should have come in stock last week that are marked discontinuedYour preorders weren't fulfilled, you probably got left out by scalpers.
>>11665917Have the same problem from HLJ with my Plamatea Baltimore. She was never charged for and she's now listed as discontinued. First time this has happened to me at HLJ for a non-Bandai kit.
>>11666034Most stores are closed till jan 4th and it's gonna take more time to process all the stuff from the holidays so I wouldn't count on it happening any time soon.
HJL finally send me my Maiden Raider, I requested it on 29 of Dec, and i was afraid what a anon write here, saying his order take over a month to get shipped,
>>11666169Oh.
Even a small typo can make a big difference
>>11666323Forgot pic
>>11665917Just got my notification a few minutes ago. God knows how long it'll be before they actually get around to shipping her.
Finally Grand scale Lumitea comes out tomorrow
>>11666383Dem hips...
>>11666383Very tempting. But considering my backlog, I won't need to PO her (inb4 she'll moon).
>>11666357Yeah me too. Got my notification last night.I have no problem waiting since it'd probably stay a long ass time on my private warehouse.
>>11666357>>11666555>didnt get mine
>act-knufe making an Eden Damn I hope he reruns his Suga in enough numbers she becomes more available...
So if I liked Yuki Tu and want more qt girls that have cool accessories and customization options, does anyone have any recommendations that aren’t more puni mofu? Is picrel nice she sort of caught my eye
>>11666769Arsia is a FAG derivative. A bit bigger than MDs, but also the engineering isn't as great - the legs are sandwiches with the seam running down the front and back right in the middle. Arsia also has a lot of painted on details and color corrections applied. Check Dalong.net, he has a koto tab for all the girlpla and he only does "straight builds".
>>11666619Didn’t get mine either. Not gonna panic yet but I’m checking around for us retailers with it.
>>11665917I finally got billed for big Ao this morning. HLJ are so slow to do anything right now it is unbelievable.
>>11666769Whats a "cool accessory" to you? Beyond that, the Asra girls are pretty much the gold standard for customization, a large part of the (after)market is built around them.
>>11666777Yeah I saw she is tall but she might fit with my snail shell figs. Painted parts is actually good because I am a lazy bones>>11666833Idk I guess just like clothes parts and gear you can swap around to give them slightly different looks. Like I saw Arsia came with a mask and removable backpack thing which I liked. But actually I’m realizing some of the pics I saw were probably showing things sold separately… guess I’ll have to watch more reviews. The recolor seems to include a tomytec rocket launcher kit which is cool I wish the original color came with that too
>>11667035look into little armory
>>11666777>Check Dalong.net, he has a koto tab for all the girlpla and he only does "straight builds".Sad they don't have 30MM or 30MS
>>11667047Schizophonic9 the one that have those
>>11666828I got billed for her last week and today for the eye decals. Fucking caught me offguard since I forgot I even got em.
>>11667103Oh, didn't know this. Thanks, anon
>>11666383Someone order this so the actually good Arca kits can get upscales.
>>11666383She's up
>>11666383Just curious, what's the appeal of these Grande kits for those of you who like them? They'll only really scale with each other (or i guess maybe theyre around that 1/6 scale, if one has those), and while I dont have any I cant imagine the details are so much better than their regular counterparts.
>>11667221Easier face painting, doll eye modding and doll clothing. I wouldn't be surprised if those casual outfit designs they revealed are actual fabric clothes they release for Grande blanks.
The new 30mm hub core is fucking awesome. I wish there were more armor kits in black/white /grey that could be used with it, but even with the limited armor selection the possibilities it opens up are massive.
>>11667291If you were trying to make wings I feel like there would be easier ways to do that than using crab legs.
>>11667322She's a bat. Bats wings are their hands.She has big wings... that are hands.
>>11667346There's a steamed hams joke somewhere in here
>>11667291Ilshana have it, kinda. Along with the Reaper Armor option parts.
>>11667374It's bat wings... that are a hand
>>11666383Wake up and cheecked the store where i normaly buy from... sold out
>>11667035>Painted parts is actually good because I am a lazy bonesOh no, you misunderstood me - YOU will need to paint on the details.
alhamdulilah!
>>11667291>30mm hub coreThe who and what not?
>Got billed for Grande Baselard this morningFucking finally, time to ship her
Looking at some bits on Booth, how bad are Buyee's fees for getting stuff and shipping it?
I'm genuinely getting scared now.Hurry up and give me a shipping discount!
>>11667807Good lord
>>11667807what the fuck
for someone who wants to get into MD, which ones are more beginner friendly?
>>11667844The newer Block 2/1.5L stuff are nicer builds than the older ones. The new Chassis kits are great too.
>>11667844Depends on how much plamo experience you already have. Susanowo for example is fantastic, I wouldn't recommend a huge kit like that to a plamo novice, but if you've got a few HG gunpla under your belt there won't be many curveballs.If you're new to plamo in general, pick something smaller and recent like a Buster Doll or Puni Mofu, lower chance of getting burnt out that way.
>>11667735Bad, but not a deal breaker if you're only getting a few items. Look into getting a blackship address as you'll save a lot in the long run.
Okay, I want one. https://x.com/i/status/2008855913000833034
>>11667735100% sign up for blackship. You'll save on shipping too.
>>11667844Anything since Gunner came out (except Guren) is perfect for beginners.
>>11667735Remember to grab some joint sets if you are planning to grab some older abdomen parts. I feel like a dumbass now that I'm working on resin kits I bought.
>>11668060>>11668694Blackship seems neat, I'll look into that properly when I've got more time. I think for now I'll just try Buyee for the 2 small bits I'm after.
>>11667651This. The white 30mm bike for Raidra includes a preview version of the one that is going to be sold individually later.
Look at this smug fat cunt, i can't wait for them to release her.
this kit certainly has the worst plastic and general build quality. but it is my first chinese kit.need to build something bandai after this to cleanse the palette. i hope her sister is a bit better
>>11669116Huh, chinese kits also suffer from kotobukiya craftmanship and in the same part as Xiao. Dont fret, you can still fix it by melting pieces of runner with extra thin glue and applying it to the inside, just like i did with Xiao...
>>11669116What is that?
>>11669253New line, called "Boku no Pico".
>be me>don't like the look of most girlpla>come across something that actually kind of appeals to me>is a shitty chinese kit riddled with qc issues>still expensive and now sold out everywhere>supposedly had 2 recolors that I can't find any info on or even evidence of them ever having been being sold anywherewhat the heck
I'm going to Japan next month.Does anyone know a good place to buy girlpla cheap?I'll mainly be going to Akihabara and surrounding areas but I'm guessing tourist areas like that aren't gonna be cheap?
>>11669711It's Nuke matrix, the qc is on the low end of old koto. That's still better than 80% of other companies kits. She's a solid kit.
>>11669822Mean to say eastern model....
welp. that's BIG GENE in the warehouse.
>>11669817idk about cheap but check out kotobukiya, trader hq 4f, surugaya and maybe volks and amiami. i think jungle had a good selection too. and nakano broadway.>>11669203i don't think i'll bother for now, there are two variants of that part.the mold quality isn't great either, mold lines are quite visible on some pieces. but then again it was like 20 bucks, what can you expect
>>11669822>>11669825I've seen people say they had mismolded parts and entire runners missing. Idk part of me wants to still take the chance but my only option would be aliexpress and I am tired of every seller on there sending everything in a bag so it gets demolished in transit…
>>11669711I have her.She's not nearly as bad as you claim. Do be prepared to use sprue goo for gap sealing, though.
Is Blackship cheaper than directly using Hobbysearch overseas shipping? Considering buying like 3-4 Koto Armored Core kits (Susanowo sized boxes)
>>11669936Doubtful. Forwarder are best used to receive products from sellers that don't ship abroad, consolidate orders from multiple sources, or to dodge taxes. If you can get your stuff straight from HS, that'll likely be the way to go. You can look up their shipping tables, but their are fees to use the service on top of that.
>>11669883My experience with E-model has been pretty good. They had a major problem with faces back when they started but the molding and detailing has always been there. The white plastics are possibly even softer than bandai's, which could be seen as a bad thing. Of all of mine I've only ever had one piece be missing on a runner, and never had anything so defective it couldn't be fixed with minimal modeling skill.
>>11669884>>11670330I guess that is encouraging thanks. Maybe I will take the gamble because I quite like how she looks though will probably wait for the next time ali has some coupons as their new year sale just ended
dunno if this is the place to ask, but does anyone know which parts are used to attach the feet here?
>>11671212Look like Acerby's feet with some additional parts to connect them
>>11671212Pretty sure that thing's in one of the joint option sets.
>>11671212Above the foot looks like it's one of the joint parts with a 3mm hole and C-clip
im so excited
>>11669203>melting pieces of runner with extra thin glue and applying itIs there a term for this technique? I'm trying to find a tutorial or such to no avail.
>>11671377look it up as sprue goo
>>11671199i.e., they're not Mecha Musumes. They're fully organic gals with magical armor that pop between universes and change size, not robots. All fantasy, no mecha, which brings us back to the original point: anon's narrow definition of what is and is not allowed here is bullshit, so he has no right to gatekeep.
>>11671212It's this solution. Leg part have C-joint on the back here. I used similar in my custom recently (not girlpla).
>11671462Is this motherfucker legitimately retarded?
>>11671252>>11671301>>11671325>>11671496thank you for your answers, kind anonswhat set has the part in the middle? is it from an option parts kit or a full kit?
>>11671680If you mean middle from >>11671496 it's one of optional kits joints set. Most of newer 30MM and some 30MS optional kits have those included. Schizophonic (https://schizophonic9-2.com/blog-entry-5051.html ) have reviews of 30 Minutes kits with listed all contents, useful to check beforehand what exactly each kit contains.
>>11671729after looking for a while I was able to find them. If anyone wants the info, these 2 have those parts:-30MS option parts set 05 Heavy Armor (aka Luluce's armor)-30MM option parts set 15 Multi Vernier
>>11671894You forgot about that purple wolf armour for Rishetta.
>>11671377>I'm trying to find a tutorial or such to no avail.You cut a piece of runner, put it in a crystal bottle and add glue to melt it, you can also shave thin slices of plastic off the runner, apply glue to the broken part then put the shavings like you're making lasagna as you apply another bit of glue. That's how i did it with Xiao since i had no spare empty glue bottle.
