Kagutsuchi really feels like she's missing something with how simple she is out of box, something I don't think I've felt with any other Frame Arms Girl kit. Fortunately the frame arms version has a specific upgrade kit designed for it, and it's easily altered to work with her down to even having holes on the side of her knees to attach the front legs to them.
I really like how this looks, with a bit of thought you can even attach her stock back skirt and sub arms to the back of the frame on the back legs, meaning she can still use the super large weapons the base version was designed to use.I wish I could find my selector rifle, it would be perfect here.
Fiona and Zeke prototype got shown off
>>11711945>Red recolor Liger girl already planned
>>11711987>in before exclusive mirage version
>>11711987She has a painted prototype already.
I don't know how I feel about the Nidy Arcanadea girls using the same parts. >>11712000Good numbers.
Don't know how I feel about the L chassis kit yet, the body looks nice but the head...
So this is the proper thread? I'm confused since there is another too.
>>11712102The other thread is older and has more posts. Maybe OP will copy his news posts over there.
>>11712102>the op is present and updatedThis is NEW THREAD.
>>11711945Fiona looks great, but of course they nerfed Zeke because of the way this stupid armor gimmick works. I will get it because there’s no other way to have Fiona.>>11712062Didn’t realize these were L-type, they’ll probably dwarf my 30MS stuff, which isn’t terrible.
>>11711945shrek soon
>>11712024Nidy is kind of a one-trick pony art style wise, so you get what you get. The brown girl does things to me, though. Might not bother with the other two.
Big Lumitea is up again on Hobby Search if anyone missed the first round of pre-orders. I realize she's been up on HLJ this whole time, but I refuse to give them the satisfaction. I wanted to order somewhere that would actually fill and ship my order in exchange for my money, instead of just taking my money and going to the pub.
>>11712185Grand scales are just too big for me in a significant number... Baselard is unwieldy large and she isn't even originally that big of a kit.
>>11712163Shrek with Donkey zoid when.
>>11712137Shouldn't be that much of a size difference. Sestieh is basically an L-type Sister for comparison.
New Luluce hair looks so much better its insane.
>>11712174He does have a bit of a problem with face shapes being all the same. Other than that he is pretty good about unique eye and hair designs.
Does anyone know what the best topcoat for flesh parts is? I'm trying to replicate the sort of soft texture that a lot of the base plastic skin colors have without any luck. Tamiya matt on top of lacquer is how I have been doing it so far, but it doesn't look (or feel) quite right...Thanks for your help.
I wonder if the p-bandai acerby is going to be Sestieh or Raidira colored or worse, a new color.
>>11712452The skin for all girlpla is simply matte plastic. So you just have to find a brand's matte you like and go with it. Maybe play around with layers of it a bit since that changes the look a smidge.>>11711923I think the simplicity is part of her charm though. You get a brand new (great) body, some fun parts, and a simple design that's easy to build on top of. It's like a short breather since almost every single non-30MS girlpla release is super crazy detailed almost to a detrimental level these days.
Kaguya pre-orders on Wednesday
>>11712559I feel like I need something that diffuses light a little so that the surface LOOKS satin, I don't know how to explain it, I've seen paint jobs that look almost like they're patialy transparent, and I assume it because of how the topcoat texture affects the light hitting it.I'm not talking about having different primer and base coat colors, it is the top coat doing it.
>>11711932Needs more plastic blocks
>>11712573Hrm, it's probably a combination of the camera settings used, and the actual paint job below the topcoat because almost all people in this hobby (Jap, Chink, or otherwise) use the same shit for topcoats in the exact same way- it's almost always either Gaia EX10 flat clear (which is typically regarded as the best hobby-grade matte finish out there), Mr. Hobby GX114 super smooth clear flat (generally regarded as the runner up in this regard), or regular Gaia flat. Nothing special in terms of spraying techniques or thinning ratios. Just those things on top of the kit. Same goes for all the literal professional-tier guys you probably look at. So what you're seeing and trying to make sense of is probably just a combination of their camera settings and however it is they painted the skin.
I went to Suruga-ya in Akita City. I greatly regret not having space in my suitcase. I also didn't make it back before the store closed.What was I thinking buying EG doraemon and kirby at donky?
>>11712795Other pictures were blurry. Kizuna archer was like 3700 yen or something. Valetta was like 5100 yen.
>>11712803
>>11712807
>>11712795I was getting ready to complain about the US site's markup, but I actually only paid 700 yen above that Xiao's price during a free shipping sale. I guess it's just kind of a good deal
>>11712452If you're not painting, use a sanding sponge. I personally use 3M Superfine. It's somewhere in between 320-400 grit.Great help when sanding cemented seamlines, too.Here's an old photo as an example. Dunno if it's a good one, but that's what I have on hand.
>>11712502If it’s not the former color, I will be incredibly pissed.
>>11712778That's probably what it is, I've never tried the Gaia topcoats
>>11712795>>11712803>>11712807Geez, it's like 50/50 on a good price or not on these, stock Launcher should be like 2600 TOPS with how common she is.
>>11712874I am painting, otherwise I would just use my home depot sponge.
>>11712874>If you're not painting, use a sanding sponge.but that would make the plastic become yellow quicker?
>>11712405>11s have her already I need to pick a better spawn point next time, this waiting for weeks after release to get mine is for the birds.
>>11713153I don't know. I've heard that UV makes plastic go yellow, and it depends on the plastic itself too. My og luluce gotten a bit yellow despite my display cabinet not being in direct sunlight.
Between the new Tiasha and Micolulu, which one would you buy first?
>>11713284Whatever glorious Bandai overlords will gracefully allow to be shipped to Europe. No, really, with their approach it's not about buying what you like but buying whatever they ship. Or nothing at all, like how I entirely skipped pink Bunny and that shark girl.
>>11713372have you tried importing from AliExpress? i dont know how much you europeans pay for import tax and such but they usually have everything
>>11713284personally Miccolulu, so she could go alongside the blokees Batman Beyond I got last month
>>11713546I don't really want to touch AliExpress. I don't trust them at all.
>>11713641Aliexpress is 100% trustworthy when it comes to Japanese model brands. The last time a Koto girl, for example, was bootlegged, was 8 or so years ago. For Bandai stuff it basically never happens. Some parts and style of doing things might be copied, but you'll never order... I dunno, an MG Zaku 2.0 or some shit and get a knockoff. China, even though it's a land of thieves, for some reason doesn't fuck with a lot of companies anymore. Maybe they have criminal extradition laws with Japan now that they actually enforce or something.
>>11711923Maybe you need her Otsu Sniper gear to get her complete look? I only remember her default Kou equipment being like the original Frame Arms and that's it, but the Extend Arms...
>>11712405>>11713206Considering the updated versions of the initial three are basically the Full Armor Alto/Portanova of 30MS, it fits (not sure if you can count the Liber Commander Armor Set as a Full Armor Alto situation for 30MF since it's just starting its second year right now). They all have additional equipment that evolves the originals as well (Rishetta Freesia Wear has the Dash Unit in place of the Speed Armor, Tiasha Dahlia Wear has the Float Unit, but can still combine with the Flight Armor for the complete look, and Luluce Lily Wear has the Climb Unit in place of the Heavy Armor).
>>11713641I bought like 5 koto/bandai kits off Ali and they have been fine. The boxes were just slightly dented.My only bad experience was with a PR production kit where it didn't have any hard protection (ie just bubble pack without cardboard or foam board). I got a refund for that with free return shipping.
>>11712405>>11712405I have the og right next to me, what are you talking about?
which would you guys say is the most fun 30mf kit to get into the line? From what I observed no one seems to buy the priests and archers.
>>11713641ive been buying so much shit off aliexpress and havent been scammed once. you just gotta look at the prices and see if it makes sense
>>11713284I got Micolulu, love her so much
>>11714145The hair mold is significantly updated.
>>11714272isn't the skin tone slightly darker compared to og Luluce or it's just some camera fuckery going on?
>>11714294The face is definitely different because it matches the body color.People complained about the faceplate being different color from the rest of the body on OG kit and bandai went "It's normal desu."
>>11714294The original luluce release had a messed up face color, it was darker and slightly transparent.
>>11714272they bumped her height up? so this is the definitive Luluce now
>>11714417Her and Tiasha both got slight bumps. Old Luluce got the short end of everything though since almost all of her was reused parts.Also wild that they gave her a more rectangular build this time.
>>11714149No one buys them because they are the hardest to find. The other two bodies are quite common at this point. Anyway, the answer is Charlona.
>>11713824I looked around for it before she came out to see if it had ever been released as an msg as most large frame arms weapons have, turns out it is exclusive to the two katsuguchi releases and nowhere else. I'll see if the prices are right on one out of the fag release when she comes out instead of cannibalizing a whole kit for one gun.
>>11714529Odd, Priest is or at least was quite common in Europe. Bandai shipping is so odd.
>>11714149I've enjoyed building the Fighter, Dragonia Knight and the Priest.
>>11714536How difficult is it to connect the boosters to her fat ass? Is the connection stable?
>>11713813>For Bandai stuff it basically never happens.my brother in christ they make a new gundam bootleg every other week if not more
>>11714803what he's saying is if you're going into AliExpress and ordered something genuine, you're not gonna get a bootleg switcheroo. listings on ali will explicitly say they are bootlegs
>This is called Xiao's normal mode>In costume mode, Xiao's tits suddenly triple in sizeis she faking it?
>>11714851Padding
>>11714851Wish we could see animated a transformation between modes
>>11714851It's the power of motherhood. She's not owlmom for nothing!>>11714803You galaxy-brained retard, the "bootlegs" they're referring to are literal recasts. AKA stolen part designs. LITERAL copies of kits. Not the six trillion and one new takes on a given mobile suit design. Nobody in their right fucking mind is calling the two new "MG Dom" kits they just released bootlegs because they look nothing like the real kit. Holy fuck, people like you are knuckle-dragging apes.
>>11714923calm down lil bro
>>11714851Looks like a mentally challenged child who became a victim of sex trafficking
>>11712502It's Miku-colored, but Kotobukiya built plenty of Mikus, so they made one of their own (not counting the Figure-rise LABO, which is a worthless display piece in my eyes if we have articulate figures anyway).All right, theory time. When the 30MF Liber Commander Armor Set comes out this June, try equipping it on the 30MS Yufia. Hope this looks good.
>>11714851That's her before kids.
>>11714781It's just connecting the arcitect legs to her back hardpoint. Works really well since the front square hole on the architect takes the place of her stock one. I added one of the t bars from the architect elbow to the skirt joint so the subarms and back skirt could still fit.Stability is no problem. She's now heavy as hell, but with the koto stand in the short configuration it holds fine. The only weak point is that the hips may need some adjustment to not sag from the front leg armor, but it isn't serious. As for standing on her own... she has four legs now, she's fine.I like that she ends up with an almost xamel like silhouette from the back legs and armor.
>>11715047What?
>>11715093Acerby Type-X is special forces colors, and it happens to have Miku colors, an apology because Kotobukiya got the articulate Miku figures already.
Erica has a high mobility mode.
>>11715106Source
>>11715164>Zetton Blade
>>11715164very cute
Which 30ms option parts kits aren't worth buying?
>>11715185wtf you're right
>>11715037But enough about you.
Yea or nay?
>>11715325Some people complained about her ankles popping out but aside from that, she is solid and could work great as base for military custom.
It's a sotai (shared body) thing. Don't worry about it. Some flat girls actually have bigger tits in sotai mode. I wish koto wouldn't cheap out and include size appropriate tits.
I've just made my first fuckup that can be fixed with tiny magnets. It shall be a new experience.
>>11715325As was already said, ankles suck and do the kit no favors, but everything else about it is great.
>>11715356>>11715463>skater girl>ankle issuesha, I bet she's pushing 30.
>>11715356Not as bad as on Sourei.
>>11715212There aren't any bad ones. The hair with the kits around the nightmare Costume was a pain in the ass, but that's the only real complaint.
>>11714272I love the sock things the most.
>>11715612>SoureiSo she's not that good? I remember that there was a lot of hype for her. She also seems like a bad kit if you want the option to use her with option kits, with her arms having such a special design.
>>11715656Leg warmers. They were all over the place in the 80's, and a little in the early 90's, but I'm pretty sure more than 3/4 of this thread are too young to remember they were a thing.
I didn't enjoy the building this as much as I thought. It's not that it's in 1/24 scale.The kit itself isn't bad, and i didn't see any issues with it. I kinda hate how half the box was basically that little backdrop and the amount of spare/option parts you cannot really use after you're done. Wish the main body was in black to complete the maid look.I attempted to pick some of the details up with a real touch marker.One kit could've easily been a duo pack if you'd simply gotten another body in the box.
>>11715736looks tiny, how big was the box?
>>11715730>more than 3/4 of this thread are too young to remember they were a thing.Fellow oldfag here, I think they made a comeback, and especially in Japan for the gayru look. Fortunately, other crimes against fashion from the same era like women's suits with shoulder pads and neon colors on everything seem to have remained in the past.
>>11715739The completed figure is 8cm tall, about the size of a handscale FAG (pic)The box is 25x18x7cm - I'd guess about a size of a small HG like z'gok.I'm mostly annoyed that you could've gotten something more instead of the backdrop, like that egyptian themed one the same company put out.
>>11715740>women's suits with shoulder padsGod, my mother had one of those things. I thought it looked ridiculous, even as a child. But yeah, I forgot Japan is still a little behind on the American culture thing - Disco and karaoke bars are still popular over there, after all.
>>11715750honestly, doesn't look half bad in this pic, maybe paint it black to complete the maid look if it bothers you that much>>11715762>Japan is still a little behind on the American culture thinggood
>>11715740I wish Bandai would make some gyrus. god I love them.
>>11715612Odd, my Sourei's ankles are just fine.
>>11715555She is sk8ter girl so 41 already.
How big is FAGirl next to 30MS, MD? I'm looking at the Kotobukiya page and it says 19cm
>>11715907meant to say kagatsuchi Kou FAGirl
>>11715907She's similar enough in height to Susanowo, and Tsuku/Ama-chan, so she won't look too out of place with MDs in terms of height. However, she still looks like she'd absolutely MOG AND DESTROY all the other girls out there simply because of how much more mass she has in general. Her thighs, tits, and belly probably have the mass of your average MD's base body. Girl's a monste- err, big boned.
>>11716301As for 30MS, some of them compare okay (they're roughly MD-sized), and a great deal of them she absolutely MOGS since they're shorter than your average MD.
>>11716301so is 19cm her naked body height? or is that with her big ass kagatsuchi head?
How do the 30MF Knights compare to the 30MM Spinatio Knight types? Is it worth buying one if you're unhappy with the Spinatio, mainly his too narrow feet that make posing annoying?
>>11716407>How do the 30MF Knights compare to the 30MM Spinatio Knight types?Very different Is it worth buying one if you're unhappy with the SpinatioYes
Cutie Honey got delayed again until early march
>>11715736Back when these were more affordable/available, the ability to army build meant you could build substantial bases with those display pieces. The problem was more that they come with a shitload of alternate parts that you end up having to store.Anyway, you’ll be happy to know that their more recent releases have done away with the bases/turned them into display stands.
>>11715106>Black and teal must certainly be miku colors!
Medic is really good. I don't really have much to say, her gun having an almost complete inner frame is neat. Great expressions, kinda wish she had a couple more here, her and Raider have a lot of personality, I think the suvenia face set may be worth picking up for the two of them.
>>11716655Brightfeathers second coming by the way.
>>11716655raider and medic's hair look like candy lolyes i am a fat fuck
>>11716681>Imagine being so fat you look at plastic girls and see food
>>11716603>recent releasesThe only other (strictly girlpla) releases they have is Esis and Qingyi that I'm aware of. Esis is avaliable, but the gold doesn't build any confidence in me as I don't do full paints and Qingyi is unavaliable (on ami) at the moment.Their other stuff doesn't interest me much.
>>11716655Looks great, can't wait to get mine.
>>11711898Cute dragon almost here and I forgot she's still missing from this kek
>>11716301Yes.>reminder Mao and Tu have the same width as 1.0 md bodies
>>11716751Don't know how I keep forgetting to add her...
>>11716755Maybe because her name is too short and forgettable? It's Gii.
>>11717329>giiiii....
They beat the hell out of Falcon's box but nothing was damaged thankfully. Time to retreat from the internet and work on these 2 beauties for a bit.
>>11717387>that boxDamn. Good that nothing was damaged at least.Do post progress, would like to see her.
>>11717387Where you actually got her? I checked Suruga and Mandarake and found none.
>>11717393When it comes to CN girlpla stuff, I always just use Gundamit.
>>11717397And for non-US stores?
>>11717387Wish I could get Falcon but I can't find her either
>>11717401>>11717407Hobby Search and Nin-Nin-Game seem to still have her.
>>11717393Its funny when American stores beat jp ones for chinese kits.
>>11717401>>11717407there's still stock on aliexpress btw
I paid scalper price.
>>11717449I thought those are normal prices...
>>11717451Msrp is 2750 yen.Should I go back and pick up chasis-chan tomorrow at 3600 yen? How compatible is she really with existing kits?
Speaking of scalper prices, do they do reprints of 30MS girls? I weep when I see some of these second hand prices.Then again, getting them through HLJ would probably be impossible even if they did.
I wanted hoihoi-san heavy weapon too. If only I had luggage space left. I have, at most, space for one more kit. Maybe not even. I really really regret picking up early grade kits. I even forgot to use a 10% off coupon at donkey.
>>11717466Don't look at how much rishetta freesia wear and yufia go for.
>superglue magnets in place>didn't check whether they were the right way round first
>>11717470>Alka-Carti Quartet FormWait, wait, wait - when did they make a Not!Tigris, and why am I only seeing her now for the first time when she's clearly an older kit?
>>11717470Shuremi and Sestieh just kill me. I think I got a Yufia for a bit under 5k some time ago.
>>11717467what store? i plan to pick them up>>11717470still half price comapred to eu stores (if they ever have stock lmao)
>>11717477This was the only time I thought I got a good deal from a Canadian store. >>11717481One of the 3 Suruga-ya near Namba station.
>>11717462New chasis are mostly compatible with M or S bodies. You will get a head adapter to use with Block2 and I think PUNI MOFU line to use movable eyes with. Also blank bodies are nice for this price if you don't want to pay premium for full hentai bodies from booth.Thigh diameter on the chasis is only compatible with old ASRA kits ( too narrow for puni MOFU or block2, but in general can be connected, as all the pegs are the same 3mm diameter)
the superglue and magnets experiment worked!
Oh, I also bought 30ms face plates for 400 yen from Joshin (special sale). This is the first time I saw reasonably priced 30ms option parts. I only made it to joshin, animate, Kotobukiya, and 3 suruga-yas today. I didn't even make it to mandrake or yellow submarine. Are there any stores I should try for MSRP recent 30ms kits? Sofmap? Eidon? >>11717500Hmm... The oldest MD I have is Executioner Bride and I already bought top upgrades for her. I don't have any spare hair parts or plans to buy 1/12 clothes either, so it doesn't sound like I'd have much use for it? Buying it just for the face seems excessive.
I really loved the displays at Kotobukiya. But the stock levels were pretty bad.
>>11717561Lots of kits were sold out, and even koto store bonus were out for a bunch of stuff.
>>11717413>>11717441Would ami stock on them if there's leftover? Don't know since it's chinkpla
>>11717586>leftoverIs there even a listing for it on Ami? Maybe I'm retarded but I didn't find one.I think there is a chance you could get it A-/B pre-owned, because iirc even stuff they didn't sell themselves can end up there (e.g. Koto kits with the store exclusive bonus).
>>11717612>because iirc even stuff they didn't sell themselves can end up thereYep, that's why I asked. They never get preorders for 30MS but Micolulu is there preowned "used" which ultimately doesn't mean much if all the bags are there
A while ago someone here mentioned that "early" MD kits have some issue with the legs.I've built a WISM soldier before and didn't see anything at the time, but I've got a roadrunner, Edelweiss and another WISM on the backlog that I plan to get to one of them soon.Could someone kind please tell me what issue it is so I could fix it?>>11717619Ami sells Bandai plamo, just not internationally.
>>11717474silly anon just use the magnet pole converter
>>11712289Who is that left of optimus?
>>11717700Arsia, a not-nazi girl made by Humikane: https://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/en/product/detail/p4934054029945/I find it funny how anime stuff has become less and less lewd over time, but Humikane has gone the opposite way and his newer designs are way more horny than his previous stuff like strike witches.
>>11717727Pro tip, her tummy can be used with swimsuit Styko to make a bikini version. Also, there is a recolor you can use to make her a dark elf.
>>11717462If its on a 3mm peg you can swap it.
>>11717462I just got a Homura for 18 usd off mercari, that's an insane price for nine-tails...
>>11717727Nice thanks. If the nazis had used half naked anime catgirls they would have won ww2
>>11717387I have Cyclone Hopper on pre-order from USAGS, I wonder when it'll get in.
>>11717466Not often enough to maintain stock or even fill backorders. You may see some extra pop up on small local sites, but large widely known ones usually overcharge.I got my Mikolulu for cheaper than retail day one by stalking yahoo auctions, and bbts fulfilled my second one before HLJ... who still has me on backorder.
>>11717558Executioners bride should be fully compatible, limbs and all. But the faceplate and hair/face connector won't be usable sadly. Also you'll have to pick a black suit one to match the skin tone of Executioner.
Why is Hresvelgr Albus so cheap?>>11717731Which homura?
>>11717727that's it?
>>11717758Meant to writer quote >>11717746And i also meant to ask 18 off how much? I think i didn't pay it much thought due to the older body.
Somehow, option part set 16 is cheaper than buying just a hair part...? I might need to go back and grab it.
>>11717470isn't 1k yen like 5 cents?
>>11717785I also just noticed option hair volume 10 in the back looks to be 500 yen for 4 sets. (Box looks sealed.) I'm going to need to try to find this store again. >>117177876.46 usd
>>11717763holy shit i never noticed. and i brought that kit to germany in my suitcase. they would have shot me on the spot
>>11717484hmm i probably won't be able to buy much in osaka but thanks. browsing plamo stores is fun, isnt it?>>11717790>I'm going to need to try to find this store again.been there... later i made a note which kit was at which store because the pricetags usually didnt have a store name on themi think on my next trip i'll cut everything out of the runners, put em in bags and toss the box. would pain me to do that but can probably increase the amount of kits i can bring tenfold
>>11717862I usually throw the boxes out anyway, maybe I cut the cover off and save it if I like the art, but the cardboard is the easiest thing to lose. if it really bothers you, you could collapse the box and then tape them back together when you get home, there'd still be a huge volume savings.
>>11717780To question 1, Hres Rapid Raider has 80% of her full kit with several recolored parts and a full bike. Albus has two cheap msg lances instead of her guns, and didn't sell well because she immediately had to contend with Cornix, a much cooler recolor.Answer two is nine-tails homura, an event limited recolor the same price as the original. I picked her up for 18 dollars.
>>11717758The Hamburger kits didn't sell well in general past a certain point. There's a comically large saturation of variant kits, and they never really improved on the problems of the original. It's well-known at this point (and, well, for years now) by the girlpla community that, as cool as she looks, the power armor Hres kits are ungodly fiddly as fuck. The only people that really get those kits anymore are hyper-fans.
>>11717928Big part of the fiddliness is that her body isn't exactly the most stable. The backpack, while having lots of joints is fairly simple, as are the individual chunks of the frame arms by itself. Everything starts flopping around once it's all attached to her. The backpack is still fine, but now the arms with their strange mid bicep hinge are a pain to manipulate without bumping the back kibble. Same deal with her head and the associated joints, especially because of the poor collar design. Her legs cause a load of problems. Her hips droop, the thigh ring that her boosters are on move too easily often making the whole leg fall down, or off entirely.
>>11717785The hair parts are in high demand, they tend to sell out of online retailers for long periods and go for a lot more than they originally retail for.
Quite the variety of stupid hats.
Help me pick my next frame arms girl. White or black?
>>11718032Those two are a pair, your obligated to get both. You can get an Innocentia if you just want one.
>>11718032Innocentia.
>HLJ charged me for the human parts set and the swing but neither of the main Kemopla kits.Okay, you dumbasses, this isn't funny anymore! You'd better give me the actual main kits or I am flying to Japan to break your kneecaps! And ship that last order that I already paid for, stupid!
>option part set 23 for 4200 yenI do think it's one of the best looking option part set, but it is more expensive than Marical.
I honestly don't understand why Bandai won't increase production of 30MS kits if they sell out so quickly. When they started with 30MM, restocks were common and huge in numbers. Fast forward and yesterday color C version of Sister Phantasm outfit appeared in my usual shop and went out of stock as soon as I bought one while that pink Japanese sister with flail was already out of stock when I got back from work. It makes no sense - clients obviously want to buy them, why artificially limiting stock?
>>11718120I don't know why they're so slow with some items, but didn't have a problem with the 30MM dude who came out last week.They charged me for him without a problem. Waiting for the Kemopla cat and the new Hexa Gear dude now.
>>11718225The either hate money, or foreigners, or both.Rumor has it they hate foreigners in particular because of scalpers, so you can't get shit online, when the real problem are these assholes walking into stores buying entire pallets.
>>11718032Get Leticia and get a cheap 2nd hand Materia to use their head and hairstyle with the slightly fancier Leticia body.
>>11718291>enforce "one kit per account" policy like most shops already doWow, problem solved. Bandai execs are just dumb as bag of bricks.
>>11718225>>11718291Do we know for sure they're limiting stock?Like, do we have information on production numbers and times, logistics, and any other factors?
>>11718032Doesn't matter - both of them will leave you tied up in a closet somewhere. Grab Innocentia or Leticia instead.
>>11718312Well, I know for sure that European shops get literally few kits each at best that gets sold out within minutes and definitely not by scalpels.
>>11718225>>11718312It's really a logistic problem, most of 30ms kits are sold at discount in China, even if some kits are popular and got scalped it rarely last for more than a year or two due to reissues. It's either Bandai just can't figure out how to do business outside Japan, East and Southeast Asia, and US where they have partnerships for decades or the markets in other areas are not big enough for Bandai to care that much about. They even had P-Bandai opened in Europe and it only last less than a year so I don't think it's Bandai not consider expanding in new market but something it's preventing them going further.>>11718312The whole it's foreigner scalper who made us good japs not be able to buy kits shit was mostly during Covid and was primarily targeting Chinese, it had some truth behind that as some Chinese old people(have a lot of free time) and other tourists (don't need to pay tax) got hired by scalpers to buy large batch of kits in store when the demand skyrocketed. It led to a lot of stores demanding the customer to say the full name of the kit to be able to buy it and a Chinese old lady reacted by shouting being discriminated, but of course she can't say the name of kit.Bandai did prevented the Japanese domestic online stores to sell kits to International stores at the time as one of the measure to counter the domestic scalpers issue, but the truth of the scalper issue was far more serious than that. It was exposed latter that some of offline stores in Japan are acting as scalpers by selling the kits cheap to their own staff and then buy it back so they can sell the kit as used. Even worse a hobby japan editor accidentally leaked that Bandai didn't give shit about the scalper issue as long as their products are shipped out, and one of the largest domestic distributor of Bandai was rumored doing scalping as well.
>>11718453You came to wrong board buddy, /pol/ is the other way.
>>11718443Don't even get me started on the France only p-bandai that only sold a few gunpla kits and died. What the hell were they thinking?
>>11712825free shipping sale?
>>11718497NTA, but Surugaya had a free shipping campaign and a sale going on until today.From what I hear they do have free EMS shipping quite often, but their items have hefty mark-up compared to other places.Check their site. you might still catch the sale, but it's only really worth it if you plan to spend big.
>>11718479he is right though
>>11718503He isn't. I'm living in European country, traveled few times across it as part of my work and these problems only exist in heads of far-right populists. And I'm honestly tired of all /pol/tards trying to explain to me that I'm wrong, that I don't see what I actually see and all related bullshit. So keep your shit in /pol/.
>>11718502Suruga-ya might have prices higher than normal but when free shipping combines with bulk promos, it's actually quite good option. No reason to buy outside of these periods and they seem to understand that. My country have 23% vat so when I take shipping cost out and apply discounts between 10 and 20% off, it really makes sense.
>>11718511They seem good, but I think Ami's prices are way better if you take the boat. This recent discount was deep enough for me to actually grab a few things I wanted since the prices got very comparable to Ami's
>>11718510>He isn't.He is, now go sperg in reddit or stfu, statistics in populations by ethnicity prove the obvious replacement, thought you cucks loved le science. What happened?
>>11718551>>11718512Again, this is /toy/, not /pol/ so keep your shit in your own containment board along with "statistics" without verified sources and propaganda you cannot even get right (like thinking that UK is whole Europe).
>>11718510>>11718564cats
>>11718443>They even had P-Bandai opened in Europe and it only last less than a year so I don't think it's Bandai not consider expanding in new market but something it's preventing them going further.p-bandai kits got lapped up at the gundam base popups, even though they were all shitt clear kits. japs are just retarded when it comes to europe>>11718484fun fact: their europe "hq" is still in fr*nce
>bought 4 of these kits>three haven't even shipped yetOnce again I am jealous of the nips for being able to get something on release day and just take it home and snap it.
>>11719314Hmm, titty gyaru definitely needs her nails painted.
>>11719314I discovered emulator just recently and I want her so badly now, damn it
>>11719314the girl in the middle is very cute and cool
>>11719318Keep your eyes peeled on the aftermarket. Pretty much all of them pop up a few days after release for good prices. I've been able to pick up pretty much the entire line off of Suruga ya during their free shipping periods with zero effort.
what's a good price for Devil Strarf and is she worth buying as a lazy straight-builder?
>>11719428Her straightbuild is pretty solid. Very little (if any) color correction needed, only the typical seamlines on the girl's body that need dealing with (the mecha parts have none if irc), some nifty part separation in areas you'd typically expect them to skimp out, and an overall cool aesthetic. Super solid kit. Heavily recommend it so long as you can find it for an agreeable price.
>>11719428She and Arnval went for about 3k yen pre-owned on ami. There's no pre-owned ones currently, but you could get the white recolor for 5k new on sale. Remember that she's in a big box.
>>11719428I messed up and ordered her first print instead fo the upgrade that has slightly more stuff, don't be like me
>>11719568this one, Strarf Bis?
>>11719673yep, the one with the hammer is the one
The birb really is quite big
>>11719706though she's also actually quite smol, even if Charmed is using a stand
>>11719428
Seems people are getting their hands on the first Galholic gal and having fun with it. Need to see further since the knees and the skirt are kinda stupid. The 2nd gal at least has a better designed outfit.
B1R-L pre-orders soon.
Wish color A came with white limbs.
>>11719857I haven't bothered with these since block 2 M bodies already existed, but now that we're getting a L size that might pick one up just do make myself a swimsuit Amaterasu.
>>11719857>>11719858I still have to assemble my first two. Anyone here have in-hand pics of them? Any thoughts?
>>11719428>>11719568Strarf a cute. The BIS version has more stuff, and I'm personally partial to the "Angelic" white version(s) of her (and "Fallen" black versions of Arnval), but you can't go wrong with any version of the kit, really - especially if you were a fan of the original toy, as she's everything the old one was intended to be.
>>11719957Nothing to take pics with, unfortunately, but they're pretty fun for what they are. Two super cheap blank bodies with Block 2 style articulation. Can't go wrong with that whatsoever.
>>11719789I still don't understand the price difference between the two. The new version only comes with like, one extra (small) runner of parts and is otherwise the same as the original. Meanwhile it's twice the cost. It's not even new either, and is pretty easy to find on the aftermarket. Did Koto just go full-retard in that regard or something?
>>11719998I think it simply comes to the fact that newer = bigger price.Besides, you are looking at aftermarket pre-owned prices. Bigger kits tend to end up being cheaper and plentiful as pre-owned because (I assume) people get overexcited and then never pick them up from the backlog because of the size. I'm also guilty of that where I'd rather start another small-medium sized kit rather than one of the big boxes.
>>11720027It wasn't just pre-owned though. Even the PO prices were proportionally stupid. Shit made zero sense.
My suitcase is now full.Today, I got hoihoi-san for 4554 yen (joshin also has extra 5% discoint for visa payment unexpectedly), fairy option part set for 500 yen (looks like suruga-ya has a shit ton of new boxes sitting around), and fate fig for 1900 yen (for a friend).I had to pass over 4100 yen Jinrai Lancer, 4300 yen stinger missile arisa, 3900 yen damaged box knight-chan, 4500 yen clown color velretta, 3600 yen bir-m chassis kit, and 4800 yen Night Czar and 9200 yen tsukiyomi regalia. Really regretting not getting bir-m. I only bought fairy costume because it's cheap and I wanted extra heads. I should have gotten bir-m instead. Oh well. She's in 駿河屋大阪日本橋本館 if anyone's nearby.
I noticed this price error while reviewing my photos. When I went back today, only a hole existed on the shelve and in my heart.
>>11719992It's insane how much better they've gotten, is that your pic? The og kit is cute as a novelty desu
>>11720157Im jelly about Asra Shadow and magical girl. Good picks.
>>11720157why did you get kirby? He's never sold out.
>>11720195Because Kirby fucking rules.
>>11720195It costs twice as much and is not in-stock locally to me in leafland. I do regret it though. I was trying to find souvenir at mega donki and it did not occur to me that I'd be browsing gunpla stores later on in the trip. I even found Doraemon on sale for 700 yen at joshin after (it was probably 1000 at mega donki). AND I forgot to use an extra 10% off coupon on LikeJapan for spending 10,000 yen at mega donki. Oh well. I hope my niece likes Kirby.
>attempt to paint the full Brave fighter Girl set>Fucked up the orange stripes on the skirt >Too big of area to use thinner so I soak the pieces in tamiya paint stripper >The ABS plastic literally meltsI never knew abs would react with the paint removerI guess that is why Bandai started to move away from Abs as much as they could. There is just too much hassle dealing with abs plastic involving different chemicals Thank God koto sells the main figure by itself and it happens we got a direct Kotobukiya store in town and I got new parts the next day even though I had to pay full price for the new box.
>>11720236I would expect Tamiya paint stripper to be designed to handle very durable stuff since their "airbrush cleaner" is actually fucking extra thin plastic cement.
Where the fuck is she in mfc, can't find her at all
>>11720261But just think of how clean your airbrush will be! I've heard Anons saying they buy this instead of extra thin since it's cheaper per volume. Unless of course I was smoking something that day and hallucinated it.
>>11720294No you are right. People have compared the ingredient list and there's like a 1% difference in one of them, making it a "new product"
>>11720178>is that your pic?Yeah, I posted a bunch of them when I built and reviewed her kit a while back. I had some other shots that I took comparing the two, but I can't find them right now - instead, have an old pic of some of my other old gals.>The og kit is cute as a novelty desuAh, the one on the left isn't a kit, and neither are these three - they're the original Busou Shinki action figures from circa 2010; I have a ton of them, though by now my girlpla kits most likely outnumber them. I keep meaning to dig up my old Sharatang and Yda Stradale one of these days, for the hell of it.
HLJ charged me for the cat and my hexa gear dude, now to wait for Miss Galholic.
>>11720345Ah, thought busou were plamo, that's even more impressive>pic relatedthe front girl looks something I'd grab myself if it ever got a revamp
>>11720355>the front girl looks something I'd grab myself if it ever got a revampThat's Renge, and surprisingly, I actually still have her out of storage, so here's a fresh pic of her! She's a Nine-Tailed Fox inspired Shinki - in armored-up mode, she gets nine different swords/daggers that can be held separately, plugged into a big connector on her back to form nine fox tails, or separate into a pair of big, slashy-claws she can mount to her arms; there's also a handle to turn the whole thing into a spiked club. Her unarmored mode doesn't normally have that grey fox tail - I borrowed that one from my Fubuki Type 1 (Winged ver.), who I usually keep in Crow Tengu mode and thus don't use it with.Renge's toy is cute, but it was her personality in the Battlemasters MK2 game that made me fall in love with her - she and her wavemate/sister, Gabrine, were made by a security firm in-universe, modeled after legendary guardian monsters with the intention of having them guard their Masters' personal belongings and act as home security while (you) were away. Your Renge in the game gets really into this role, to the point where she genuinely believes she's a real Fox Spirit, and gets really smug about it - except the reality is that she scares easily and is particularly terrified of ghosts, which makes her comically bad at her intended job until you help her get over it.
>TFW you go all the way to Japan to buy girlpla only to find out you already own so much shit there's nothing to buyMaybe next time, I'll take a trip to HLJ's warehouse and just get my stuff there.10 days and all I got were some resin kits and 2 plastic kits that I already own.
>>11720294>>11720298wait till you find out you can buy the ingredients at the hardware store for like 5% cost of the airbrush cleaner>>11720630>Maybe next time, I'll take a trip to HLJ's warehouse and just get my stuff there.they do ship domestically
>Finally found shoes that look goodYes! I bought like 3 different ones but these are the ones I could immediately test, and they look great. Really complete the look
>>11720261>durableIt's not thatI have used that stripper plenty of timeIt works fine with PS plastic. I just never had the need for it to be used on abs until now. And even the lacquer thinner is acting up when I was trying to repair the paint job initially, it ate into the plastic when I used cotton swab with lacquer thinner.I am not sure how to deal with the material that koto is using when I am only try to do partial paint when only nothing sort of lacquer would stay on the surface
Mixing 1/10 bodies with 1/12 heads would probably appeal to people who like Cattleya from Queen's Blade.
>>11720261>"airbrush cleaner" is actually fucking extra thin plastic cement.What the fuck, wouldn't that just gum up your airbrush?
>>11720845it's a 50/50 mix of acetone and butyl acetate, basically nail polish remover
>>11720846Oh right, I forgot that Tamiya cement relies on melting the plastic together instead of being a glue.
I've just seen this fro pre order at a local shop. Never heard of her but if Bandai got the faith license... they got some cool designs.
>>11720876That the coolest parts of 30 minutes lines you can just buy her for the body and shield. That a really cool knights base body.
>>11720845People reported that problem, yes. Some user reviews on shops are hilarious.
>>11720876>>11720892Also, it's basically Mash's true final form. Giant shield, heavy armor, and all the more design aspects that scream "Paladin."Speaking of which, mark your calendars for March 21. Lots of 30ML anime stuff are coming, and I have been thinking of how one could equip the armors from Yoroi Shin Den Samurai Troopers on your favorite 30MS characters... or the demented Meguca repeat, but instead of Gundam parts, it's giving them armors with low chance of survival (Shakunetsu no Madoka, anyone?).
>>11720910Titus Madoka School Uniform Version
Tourist here. Is there an anime series for this stuff?
>>11720910>it's basically Mash's true final form.I mean, yeah, she's fused with Galahad; looking like a paladin was a given.
>>11720914There's the olllllld Bushou Shinki series. It's nice in its own right. There's the Frame Arms Girl anime and movie, which was pretty darn great. Arcanadea was supposed to have a show sometime in the future last I checked too.
>>11720924Thanks I'll check them out!
Anyone ever tried using the latex-based masking fluid for watercolours on their models? They're a lot cheaper than Mr Masking Sol so I wonder if they would work as well.
>>11720876Eh, I guess there won't be a chance for her to appear in Europe, Bocchi kits appeared maybe once at Hobby Frontline and sold out right away. And I definitely don't want to gamble with AliExpress.
>>11720924>There's the olllllld Bushou Shinki seriesDon't forget the Moon Angel miniseries, which I feel was better if only because it was a bit more action-oriented and focused more on the battling aspect of things instead of the slice of life from the main series, making it feel more like an extension of the Battlemasters games.
>>11720966The slice of life is what I aspired my girlpla to experience but instead they are boxed 24/7 after they are built. I really like how FAG have a room that you can buy for them.. my Sisters are all homeless without a single furniture.
>>11720843>people who like Cattleya from Queen's BladeYou mean straight people?
Just ordered her yesterday. The seller already shipped her. Might take a week to reach me. I'm excited. What am I in for? It's my first time buying a girpla of this price range and from kotobukiya although I have built their Armored Core kit before.
>>11721216Just make sure to take it easy, and test joints before you finalise stuff- and you won't go wrong.
>>11721216She's an extremely good kit. Very easy to clean up nubs due to them using some sort of slightly softer plastic on all the mechanical bits. Articulation is actually SHOCKINGLY good for such a ham-golem. Like other anon said, before sandwiching in joint parts make sure you pop them on their respective peg and test the tightness. Non-Bandai girlpla tend to have extreme tightness issues leading to easy snapage, so solve that before it becomes a problem. General rule of thumb is that a joint should be able to hold up against the force of its respective limbs and accessories, but not against the force of your hands. If you have to actually TRY to move the joint, then it's almost assuredly too tight and should be sanded down.
>>11721434Fortunately Kagutsuchi doesn't have any joint problems. Her worst joint is her thigh swivels occasionally working free due to weight, and that's only subjective, since >>11711932 makes her legs heavy as hell.
>>11721216The best fag. Very seriously.
>>11721216Fat
The third batch of Puni Mofu Mao goes up for preorder this Thursday, for anyone that missed her the first two times or just wants another one. https://x.com/i/status/2026220684477894735
Is there a website where I can see all the upcoming 30mf kits? I had no idea we will get sets this cool.
>>11721884MyFigureCollection is a viable site if you are lazy scrolling through 30MF twitter, They are cheap and fun to mess around with you could easily buy 2 or more each sets.
>>11721884The official websitehttps://global.bandai-hobby.net/en-us/brand/30mf/
>>11721926if the english site is not up to date then just use the japanese site and your browser's translator
>>11721884hlj has everything
Got the dragon's rider stood up. She's a little finicky but nothing unusual by this general's standards.
>>11721954Lol, lmao even.
>>11721842Shit, I promised myself I wouldn't order too many things this month, but I might have to dip in. She's currently the best loli kit out there, right?
>>11722009>best loli kitProbably? Gii comes out soon, depending on how she turns out we might have a new champ. The Block 2-S base body has more options for customization, though. Just remember if you want skin tone legs, you'll either have to paint or pick up Kuro Mao instead.
>>11721958Pretty cute but those legs feels a bit too much apart.
>>11722036There's a lot of custom parts in AE, I was thinking of just looking and see what I can find
>>11722102The hips have got a surprisingly decent amount of range for a Chinese kit, actually. Very similar to an MD.
>>11722036I want Gii so much
>>11722036The only thing that bugs me is that she's not flat.She's like 3 times the size of Velretta
Looks like People are walking out of stores with Gii, so I guess she just released. Figure PO places should start charging us soon.
I thought this was customized from the fatFAG at first but it's actually scratch-sculpted 30MS.
>>11722448>30ms womb tattoo
>>11722470Now that you mention it, brand womb tattoos are pretty hot on the level of barcodes for objectification. Maybe I should try out a BANDAI womb tattoo on a 30MS just for the heck of it.
Put together my first Frame Arms Girl, the pink one. It was pretty fun, and straightforward.
>>11722290May have been just for the sake of plausible deniability - "she's not a child, she's just a dwarf! Look at those tits!"Still, I find it funny that literally everyone released so far is indeed bigger than Velretta; if she didn't have a complex about it before, she certainly would now.
>>11722002It's sold out but you can see the upcoming bandai products
My Tiasha's shoulders finally gave out, took it as an opportunity to final build and paint my Alka Carti. Didn't go so well last time I painted joints on a girlpla but I think it worked well this time. Made sure to grease up the joints so hopefully her shoulders won't crack again, but I saw some stress marks already before even painting. I guess she'll get a new body sooner or later.
>>11722448With 30MF arms too>>11722541Pretty cute, I like the default frame arms girl torso design. But their wrists broke so often for me that I stopped buying after Hresvelgr Ater. Even greasing em up didn't seem to help. They're nice kits, but after experiencing more figures I can see the flaws. Stylet is still one of the cutest Mecha Musumes around.
>>11722441surely my HLJ order will come in soon right? Right?
>>11722726
>>11722726>HLJLmao.Jokes aside, she's not Bandai and HS says she's in stock and she's still available on N2G, too.I hope the latter don't let me down.
>Been debating grabbing first lewd figi because she's really cute but I live with others so no clue where I'd keep it>PO close a few days ago, okthen>check again today for laughs, PO back open>Fuck it, I'll order and deal with it after>Immediately after ordering realize "wait, what's even the size of this thing?" and look it up>1/5.5, 350mm>Literally double the size of anything else I have (I mainly grab girlpla and they're all tiny)>Now I doubly have no idea where I'd keep this massive thingToo late now

I was at akihabara. There were lots or Gii in both Kotobukiya and Amiami.
>>11722779I hope I'll manage to get one off-PO on Ami since most of my February order is probably gonna get pushed
>>11722779
>>11722670Thanks anon. Looking forward to the next mecha musume
>>11722779This Kotobukiya's displays were kind of boring.
>>11722779Gii's Giis are not small by any means. I wish I had luggage space left.
>>11722779The fucking barcode doesn't work. How much are these naked faces and how do they work with existing kits?
>>11722791cut the pieces out of the runners and out them in a bag, might be able to fit that
>>11716411Spinatio legitimately fucking sucks, it always looks too skinny somehow. Spinatia was a huge improvement, and the 30MF knights are amazing.
>>11720843Somehow this looks better than the default head, the Gal Holic kit looks so fucking bad, but Kagutsuchi's head somehow makes it work.
That galholic figure is such an enigma in some ways>ugly double jointed knees>squat piece included anyway>painted sample for the promo photo shoot>seams not removedI kinda do wanna get Nanaho, but not at nearly 8k yen. Are all 8 of her faces even prints? Gii is less than 8.7k yen and comes with 5 printed faces, multiple effect parts and a bunch of alternative parts.
>>11722791>>11722789she looks so good, can't wait for ami to pop up leftovers...
>>11720843so yelly of people who can just buy her. I would pay double if I could just order her from a shop in my country
>>11722791I didnt even know she has that mode. I bought her because she looked like an adorable retard.Also that box is fucking huge isnt it?
>>11722766Statueshit is not a figure and does not belong here.
>>11722874bro he admitted he made a mistake chill out
>>11722866>Also that box is fucking huge isnt it?All of the Arcanadea kit boxes tend to be. You can see just how big in >>11722789 - that's her box right under her display. On addition to the massive clawed wing, she also comes with arguably the most accessories of any Arcanadea kit so far, so it's not like the box size is in any way unjustified even though she herself is the smallest girl in the line so far.
Does Color C sell well? Bandai just seems to have a surprising amount of darker skin girls compared to other girlpla lines, although I'm not sure if it's just cause of how high their output is. I appreciate it as a brown girl enjoyer.
>>11722911>>All of the Arcanadea kit boxes tend to beThe only ones I have are lumitea and some devil girl which is why I have to ask since im just judging by the really big shrine maiden girl box on the left.
>>11722966>some devil girlI'm assuming you have Velretta - every other kit after those two has had pretty massive boxes, as the figures all have gotten more elaborate (Yukumo's tail is about as big as her entire body, Elena's lower torso is a whole horse, Ermeda has six huge wings in her armored up mode, Meltina's snake half is LONG, and so on).
>>11722980>VelrettaYeah her also thanks for reminding me I have emdeda too, the box is the same size as the other ones i have too so I guess I bought the outliers in the line with normal sized boxes.
>>11722726Ha ha ha ha... Ha. Unfortunately I ordered her from HLJ too, I'm assuming they'll wait their customary 3-7 days before actually allocating their stock to people who preordered. Man, I can't wait for the pre-orders I have with them to run their course. They went to shit in such a hurry I'm stuck with a bunch. My plan after that is to only use them for stuff my other regular shops don't carry.
>>11722965>Does Color C sell well?considering the amount of unique choco girls (Luluce, Ilshana, Siana, Setiesh, Marical) and optional parts, I'd say yes, plus there's a big amount of tools available to make your own custom choco gal if you want.
>>11722850>painted sample for the promo photo shootisnt that just standard model kit practice??
fuck you guys for making me check 2 threads
Nips work fast. I want my Dragon not-a-loli now, dammit!
>>11723429>>11722965It all comes down to brown fatigue
>>11723676the gating on the 'gold' looks pretty forgiving. I think it will be pretty straightforward to give Gii the shiny gold she wants.
>>11723686For what it's worth it's champagne gold on just about all the Arcanadea kits.
>>11723669I've apologized at least three times now. New thread soon.
>>11724028Why? The other one is still up.
>>11724184If he waits for the other one to end then the OP of the other thread will make a new thread...so there will BE TWO THREADS AGAIN.
>>11724284The Plastic Girls Schism.
NO MORE BUSOU WARS
>>11723682Nah, not dark enough. Make girls darker.
>>11723020Did you end up being charged yet?I never had any PO issues with kotobukiya shit so it may just be slow (I didnt get charged yet either). Besides her im also waiting for my 30 ms so im sure youll get your gii.
>>11725280>Did you end up being charged yet?No. But then it took them a week to change anyone for Kagutsuchi. This I why I'm moving away from them, I can't stand the days of anxiety over wether they are going to fill my preorder or not.
>>11725355> I can't stand the days of anxiety over whether they are going to fill my preorder or not.Same, it is god awful. While I do have faith WHEN i order within the first 5-10 minutes of opening, it is a blue ball ass wait for them to confirm it.My friend is in japan right now and this just came into stock but it would be a dick move to ask him to get me the new 30ms kit when I already preordered this kit from hlj along with gii, havent been charged for either but I bought both within minutes after they opened on the site.
>>11725564The real blue ball here is pics like yours. Wondering if you'll be able to get a certain kit, or get it for a reasonable price, meanwhile shops in Japan have them stacked 20 deep because of scamdai giving them priority. HLJ has been better at getting koto kits eventually, but damn have they ever gotten slow.
>>11725587You didn't buy a full set of Idolmaster kits so Bandai gauged there's no interest in girlpla outside of japan. Sorry!
>>11725564another small booba mage. Why does Bandai hate me?
>>11725587Bandai hates the foreigners, simple as that.
>>11723676https://x.com/i/status/2027731398812176647Careful not to give her brain damage.
>>11725564Where to go in Japan for 30ms kits? All the stores i went to only had like 2 or 3 single digit sisters in stock.
>>11725721https://x.com/i/status/2027731799909273792And another.
Saw this in my hobby shop. How is it? It seems to be made from ABS, POM and PVC.
>>11725748That reminds me I messed up building mine I should get her out and fix her. Not that that has anything to do with the kit, I messed up. If you've built a Megami device, she'll seem very familiar, just a little simpler outfit and a bit hornier design than MD usually goes.
are there any other good proper robot girl model kits? picrel and 30MM's Acerbies are the only ones I've seen
>>11725794Mobile Movementess. Good luck getting one now though.
NEW THREAD!>>11725797>>11725797>>11725797
>>11713206Anyone have tips for painting this skintone? I have zero experience with painting girlpla/flesh, but I've already spent like $100 on different fleshtones in Mr Hobby / Gaianotes.Been making a few girlpla over the last month, but they're all palefaces.
