I am now regretting not using more red pictures for the op.
Couple quick reviews...Rei is ok. Looks great. Posing is not, but I don't see her being particularly athletic in the first place. She's extremely expensive for what is here.
Ao is weird as fuck. I suppose she isn't actually manufactured by koto since she feels EXTREMELY chinese. It isn't a terrible feeling but is definitely very noticeable. The blue parts are very chalky plastic so mark very easily and thre are lots of oddly shaped nubs that aren't Koto's mo. Also rather expensive, but at least she's actually fun to handle.
Lisa! Doesn't bode well for the future kits for ValkyrieTune. I'm really upset by this one. She isn't the worst, but the build is quite jank. The mold quality and parts fit is not good at all. Lots aloft parts all over her fall off constantly. Her weapons are cool as hell, but actually poseing her with them sucks horribly with how prone to falling apart she is. This shit kills the hell out of me... I was really looking forward to Goodsmile putting something out at the quality of the Guilty Princess or birthday Miku, but am sorely let down...
Height comparisons, don't think I've made one in a while.
https://x.com/KADOPLA/status/2033785493842972947?s=20
>>11737305I love bunnygirl outfit so much it's unreal.
>>11737293Dang I was looking forward to her too. Guess I'll have to break out the putty it sounds like.
>>11737293Oh shit? Haven't actually pulled the trigger yet, but I was going to eventually since she and Iris are very cute.That sucks to hear.
I hope we get more loli and fatty megami device and frame arms
Aaaand that's a no for obitsu clothes on 30MS girls. Too bad, this outfit was really cute.
>>11737294Is it the camera making tricks or is that a custom hair piece for Yuki Tu?
Which punis have A color skin?
>>11737524The first four and Kuromao
>>11737501Definitely custom to some extent since Tu doesn't have that bit going across her face. >>11737384Considering Kagutsuchi and all the Puni Mofu, especially Mao and Tu, sold like absolute fuckin' gangbusters, more of their ilk is guaranteed.
>>11737559Cheapest option right now is the pre-order for Mao on the Kotobukiya site right?
The girlpla gacha has arrived
>>11737749I'm so mad this isn't in Canada
>>11737749I have a feeling it's just gonna be old FAG & SST shit with like 1 or 2 MDs that don't sell.
Sourei-chan...
>>11737828NOOOO STOOOP SOUREI IS ALREADY DEAD
>>11737806A swarm of 1.0 Gourai and Stylets', Hresvelgr albuss' and Arnvals. Lots and lots of Arnvals.
>>11737744Cheapest option is yahoo japan or mercari. The bump in shipping is still less than the import store's greed. To give you an idea, Mao stateside is about 60 usd before shipping, assuming shipping and taxes are 15 bucks minimum, your better off buying one for 45 overseas and paying the $25 shipping+tarrif.
>>11737907>ArnvalsStill pissed at FUCKONAMI that we didn't get MK.2s.I think it would've been better if they started with MK.2s instead of early ones.
>>11737384We could get MDs in SL/ML/LL. We already know the prototype for ML exists.
>>11737914I think they would have done better if they hadn't taken ten fucking years to come out.And THEN they massively overproduced, though that may have been to curb re-release issues since Konami may be in controll of reissues.
>>11737305Most of Kadopla's DX versions are swimsuits anyway, which is pissing some people off that they have little to no variation. Mai is different because she is the Bunny Girl of anime.On a different note, semi-Mecha Musume topic, we're getting close to the release of the 30MF Shakunetsu no Gai, and would be grasping straws at some people using his armor with 30MS kits (and a few Figure-rise sharing the similar construction style) if it's cross-compatible with 30MF anyway. Remind me when it's out or any one of you anons would pull off the stunt I mentioned.
>>11737806The US store most certainly has a surplus of SST stuff. I don't think there's an audience for it in burgerland so these mystery boxes will be full of them.
>>11738030I feel like the most usefull pieces would be his thighs being a better transition between 30ms torsos and 30mf lower legs, but bandai being bandai they will somehow fuck that up.The armor is going to be a massive mixed bag since the shin armor is attached with a slot instead of a 3mm peg and the shoulder armor is friction nubs. Tldr not worth 40 bucks for a character I have no attachment to and can't be used for anything but true kitbashing.
>>11737744It'd be Suruga ya's English site. You can get Punis for 50-60 during their free shipping periods.
>>11737828who is the girl in the left? not a fan of mecha parts desu, might swap her head with those 39min sisters. if not compatible any suggestions?
>>11738097Cutie Honey, one of precursors for magical girls genre, created by motherfucking Go Nagai himself. Also android and most probably precursor to whole "losing clothes during transformation" element of magical girls genre.
>>11738110Cool. I honestly dont know who that is, will look into it later. I mainly want it to make Tomo-chan.
>>11738035inshallahI think most of the MD designs are mid. I'm hoping for a full box of SST.
>>11738210No pagan gods for me, thanks. Only jesus saves.
>>11738210I always thought of the SST girls were a tad overpriced but if I can get a lot of them with this discount? I'm down.
>>11737749>oh neat, whne do these go u->SOLD OUTMOTHERFUCKER
>package arrived to the country I'll be impressed if it gets delivered in the land of sticky fingers but the other one got stolen in the land of the honorable samurai culture.
She arrived, with the P.O bonus too.
I got a kinder egg. Let's open it!
>>11738656First, the foil wrap
>>11737749I hate gacha so I probably wouldn't get one of these, but I could see it paying off since US collectors tend not to care too much about the girlpla that I like. 400 dollars of SST for 150 would be nice...
>>11738657To the thrash it goes
>>11738659Delicious chocolate
>>11738660But we're here for the toy
>>11738661Let's open it
NO DO NOT OPE
>>11738662What is this?
>>11738664Let's find out
>>11738666It's a meerkat! Thanks for staying!
Tiddies
>>11738670Now paint it
>>11738662>>11738664I half expected you to pull some actual girlpla parts out that you prepared.>>11738666Incredible build on that meerkat, 10/10.Cute photos!
>>11738670Kinder toys are so bad nowadays, i used to have a collection of cars, airplanes, Asterix characters and some articulated Mayan warriors.
2' long noodle.The head -> neck connection is truly horrendous; you might want to build out of order just so you can push the skull and spine together without risking the horns.
>>11738891Used to get little cars to build with flywheels in. That shit was the coolest thing ever when I was young.
>>11738919That thing is friggin HUGE. Can't wait to see the wings on it.
>>11738919cool lizard, what's the name of the kit?
>>11739070Daytime Meteor. It comes with a rider, whom I've already built: >>11721958
>>11721958>>11739081oh so she's like a dragon rider kit, she looks so nice on her own I didn't expect that she's not the main selling point
>>11739099Also, if you're generally interested in dragon kits, the Hexa Gear Agnirage is really fucking good, too. Rider not included.
Charlona is so fucking weird. First, she's the first 30ms girl I've built that had a significant joint issue oob. Her thigh joints were uselessly loose, like so loose you could helicopter them if not for her hips being in the way. That's the only actual issue, but it's absolutely crazy hoe much extra shit she comes with because of the way the runners are devided. She cones with...> All of Eliene's armor and weapons > the entire lower body of Rishetta Freesia> the waist and a complete set of arms off a 30mf knight> Knees from a the 30ms joint runner> dozens of other bits and bobs from other parts of those kits that can't be built because of lacking components like the feet of Rishetta and the knightAll this extra shit makes her price skyrocket over what she should reasonably cost, because the actual stock build is very minimal.
B1R-M sure is a megami device Kit.I hate the two piece arms. I understand it's for painters who don't want to seam wield, but it looks like shit in practice. The articulated eyes are also set a liiiitle too far back in the face plate to look 100% right.I think it's neat she uses the 3d printer gray that koto uses for prototypes for her limb color, even though it would be 10,000× better if they had just been white.
>>11738684Yes, Bandai, this is the way.>>11738919I'd be tempted to leave it like that and just have a snek. Too bad the torso is so pronounced.
>>11739276Bought her for $33 from PBandai store $3 cheaper than Replelo and $2 more expensive than Nyalenti. The other 2 have less runner when they come with a rides.
Anyone have picture of these with older body type like evil, chaser, etc basically neverlia type. I have chaser and evil costume waiting for armored limbs but so far i only see people using them on newer body like Sestieh and Yufia
>>11739278I didn't have the same issues with the eyes, but I agree about the arms. I mean, sure, they work perfectly fine so whatever I guess, but they definitely don't look better than the regular arms. I'm sure in the future they won't use these as much or at all.
Looks like Gai is out in Japan, our first 30 minute brother. Manlet...To be fair he's 14, still a growing boy.Either way, don't like how his crotch is done, looks more like a speedo vs the shorts from the show, could have color seperated the thighs a bit, I'll still get them probably.
>>11738097Cutie Honey, the heads should be compatible with very minor modification at most. Pretty much all mecha musume kits have heads with a socket on a ball, but the ball size is different. Shave down the ball if it's too big or use blu tack if the hole is bigger. Some kits even come with multiple neck balls.
>>11737468It looks really cute this way
Can anyone with knowledge redpill me on the different types of dolls in the 1/12 scale, and what I should watch out for when buying clothes? Like, when I go browsing for clothes on Ali just to get a feel for what to look for, they have all these abbreviations that I don't know the meaning of, like OB11, BJD, what have you. And the pictures I've seen sometimes have dolls with SD Gundam style huge heads and the like. If I'm just looking for body clothing, what do I need to look out for to avoid buying clothing for the entirely wrong type of doll/figure, particularly since looking for refunds is probably going to be out of the question?
>>11739578>OB11, BJDStuff like this just refers to the type of "engineering". BJD just stands for "ball-jointed doll". OB11 is something like "Obitsu 11" if I recall correctly. BJD is just an overarching term that describes the type of joints. The OB11 is an actual specific type of body (a chibi one). There aren't really any specific doll terms that actually signify tangentially whether they'd be appropriate for girlpla use. All you can really do is look for 1/12th stuff, or look at clothing lines that are known to work (Haisuke, Picco Neemo). For Aliexpress, typically if it works for girlpla you'll see it actually displayed on girlpla or known 1/12th'ish figures. Or you just search "メガミデバイス" (Megami Device) on Booth, and it'll show you nothing but stuff that works on them. Well, clothes and a slew of other things anyways.
>>11737281what kit is this wideeeee hip'd whore?
>>11739536Looks like a kid's toy and he looks like a fag (faggot ass gay), easy skip
>>11739601>Picco NeemoReally need to test Azone clothes on 30MS. I really want a mini skirt miko outfit and the only one I could find is 15k yen+shipping and handling
>>11739775I've got azone t-shirts and I kinda hate them because they have a velcro strip on the back to put the doll in.They tend to sit somewhat high too.But on the other hand, the tracksuit set is quite nice.I do have a Hasuki miniskirt and jersey set and the skirt is nice. Features a sort of a thong to keep it from rotating also has a velcro strap on the back, but isn't as intrusive as one on the shirts.I hope the skirt+shirt combo snail shell will put up be good. I really like the few soft goods I've gotten from them the most.
>>11739536>male 30MS>it's some gangly fujobait instead of a feminine trap with a tasteful bulgeNo idea why everyone is ok with Polynian owning the femboy sector
>>11739837Bandai are cowards, that's why
More parts are always good, this will pave the path for femboys in the future. We got Shion coming after all.>>11739679>>11739837
>>11739966Shion has the skirt, but Musashi excites some girls.
>>11739969Men and Women build artificial barriers amongst ourselves, but the truth is both sexes want to correct little shy brats like Musashi!
>>11739975August can't come any sooner, because that's a huge month for all sorts of toylines. Remember, we're also getting the 30MS Shielder Paladin Mash the same month, maybe even the same day, and I have been thinking of trading each others' shields.
Skin colour aside, the 30ms heads are universally compatible between kits right? I just got a few kits but I haven't built any of them yet.
>>11739997Yes, they're all on gundam sized head pegs. Be careful using gundam and 30MM heads on them though, the non 30MS head sockets are tighter. Could break the neck ball or the head. All 30MS heads are otherwise fine.
>>11739999Yeah, someone woke up and chose the true ultimate among AGE units for Madoka. Kinda sad it's not Titus, but this is way stronger.https://x.com/i/status/2035131760523321842
>>11740009IT HAS BEGUN
>>11739787>But on the other hand, the tracksuit set is quite nice.Kinda curios about skirts, maybe I should pull the trigger on this outfit I found>Just found a seller on ebay that makes 1/12 Blue Archive outfitsOh, it's so over for me.
turns out you can just go into a store on release day and buy something. over 100 people in line before me but luckily only some macross(?) kit sold out. stock situation of 30ms is still a joke.
I want the new china dress Kuon.>>11740029>stock situation of 30ms is still a joke.The stock situation of Bandai in general is a joke these days...
>>11740029I mean, it's the Durandal, one of the best Valkyries in existence, piloted by one of the better written MCs in the franchise. They want that over the 30ML stuff. Now I question if the 30MF Gai sold out.
She's back
>>11740050Should they do a transformed Madoka I WILL be doing a full kitbash.
>>11740043>the durandal>goodwaste of a name on a shit designOh right, girlplais it still worth grabbing the older ASRA archer/ninja releases? or are the older bodies kinda jank now
Gai waterslides, this would look so cute on some 30MS.
>>11740050There's some kind of trick that allows you to plug a ball joint connector to the AGE-1 shoulder since you have to find an easy mod to plug the Wears on a 30MS/MP kit. I remember it's included in certain kits like the Joint Connector Cube.
>>11740087You can just use Madoka's shoulders, just remove the inner arm protectors on the Titus arms. If you feel it makes her shoulders too wide there ate lots of kits with the shoulder ball joint.
Gai looks pretty cool, just the base inner frame that looks shit.
Bunch of new Sousai news
>>11740123#NeedTomboy
>>11740122This is the Dreaming Style Store Exclusive. There is a regular black hair/black uniform with the "Damage".>>11740123This also has a blonde/white swimsuit Dreaming Style Store Exclusive version>>11740124This also has a Store Exclusive accessory. set.
>>11740122>>11740123>>11740124>>11740126Also Ritsuka in a maid outfit with her tummy on display and airsoft (tacticool) outfits for the other season 1 girls. Which is cool and sexy and I'm buying all of them. Just one question: swimsuit/cheerleader/maid/China dress/literally anything else of Emma WHEN? Do they hate money? Or are they waiting to drop that announcement later so as not to take hype away from everything else?
>>11740123>>11740124>>11740126>>11740181You are killing me, Koto. Especially with the last one.
>>11740181I think they're staggering it. While we've got no way to actually confirm such a thing, it does seem like Koto does it fairly frequently.
>>11740187Tacticool sexo. Is it just me or did they get some upgraded curves in the process?
>>11740190Madoka reminds me a bit of their adult Hexa Gear forms. Color-wise at least.
>>11740124Oh my
>>11740110how long until bandai starts making original male faces for 30MF?these samurai troopers kits already show they can make some that look (relatively) decent
>>11737287>She's extremely expensive for what is here.Of course it is, you're paying the brand recognition tax on top of the model.
>>11740126>cat maidAw hell yea->>11740181>these colorsnevre mind
>>11740228Given this was the artwork for the event, something tells me we'll get other versions, to say nothing of the inevitable dreaming style re-colors. Or it's time to paint.
>>11740248As much as I enjoy cute outfits like this, especially maid themed ones, I simply cannot look at them the same way after visiting Japan and observing Akihabara in person. It's just too sad.
>>11740181The Emma development fund is being spent on Sana.
>>11740259Nyoooo!!!
>>11738919I'm really interested in getting this so I'd appreciate your thoughts on the kit when you're done building it.
>>11740122That is great I WANT IT,>>11740147>>This is the Dreaming Style Store Exclusive.Fuck.
went to a hole in the wall store that sold booth stuff. pretty interesting but damn this shit is expensive. even the 3d printed accessoires.>>11740122thought this is an emulator kitbash for a sec>>11740123SEEEEEEEEX>>11740147>This also has a blonde/white swimsuit Dreaming Style Store Exclusive versionits a whole new kit, not just a body for rui saotome? also fuck their store exclusives, such a pain to get>>11740190i've been wanting more tacticool ssj because its the line that works best. thurd party tacticool stuff for MD is just weird
>>11740280Here's the Dreaming Style
>>11740289im gonna lose itand by lose it i mean i'm gonna bustthey really makin me buy all 4 versions of her
>>11740123Ack! My one weakness - tomboys in swimsuits!
>>11740110The face/hair still looks gay, but look how much of an improvement a male physique really changes the vibe
>>11740181I agree, I also want my daughter Emma's new outfit.
>>11740122idk about the megalomaria lore but isn't this like the human actress of Emulator? Instant PO if she is
>>11740347It's more likely Emulator disguising herself to get close to Maria
>>11740348Cool, I'll get her then
>>11740347Actually it's the dreaming style version of damaged Kuon, but it's the same hair as Emulator.
>>11740347Based on the sword and blond hair I would imagine that's what they're going for. Emulator copies people, so it seems reasonable that that's how she'd look as Kuon's Maria. She wouldn't have the eye thing I don't think, just like the original Dream Maria.
>>11740354>>11740352Why does this story sound more interesting than most stuff coming out lately? Give me a 12 episode series
>>11740381Megalomaria? Maybe partly because there's lore written into each character's bios, and partly because there's actually a web novel tied to it that you can read on the official page. This makes stuff a lot more concrete and easier to stay interested in than, say, the FAG or Megami Device stuff that's intentionally open-ended with its lore and characters.
>>11740181I bet the alternate outfit Emma is stuck in some kind of prototyping hell because of her smolness.It's probably why we're just getting that re-color with scooter set next month. To tide folks over.
>>11740418Why she is so smol and cute.
>>11740409>a web novel tied to it that you can read on the official pageah, makes sense. Translated I assume, right? RIGHT?
>>11740418I wanted to buy it but it got out of stock before I could P.O it.
>>11740425If it's text you could always mtl. Not that it would be great. There's an SST audio drama that I'm assuming is why they never did an anime. Maybe it's time to rewatch the FAG anime while I wait for the Arcanadea one.
>>11740471Translators are actually quite good since last few years. I regularly read Pixiv novels with Google Translate and it seems fine. In theory, you can also use one of chatbots but they usually block "bad" content.
>>11740251Explain? Did reality shatter your fantasies, or was it something else?
>>11740658Zamn!
>>11740634Not the same guy, but I've also went to a Maid Cafe irl. It's very cringey IRL and filled with scary stereotypical Otaku that make you reconsider your life choices.Anyway the Gai customs are looking cool on the JP side of Xitter, can't wait to get mine.
https://x.com/JDABCBLQED2012L/status/2035311503705047407?s=20Great month for model kits
Madoka is always at the forefront of mechanization
>>11740634Something else - it was like having everyone suffering under all those smiles and gestures. Both sides - clients and girls - playing their precisely defined roles with no room for deviation, both being essentially dead inside. Girls are mostly students trying to earn some side money and most of them find absolutely no pleasure in what they do, many actively hating this. Imagine having to spend several hours on street in such outfit, handing out leaflets to strangers, often without a break, but at least with protection of your "manager" who is your pimp in everything but name.Maybe I'm exaggerating, but this felt like perversion of everything fun and adorable in cosplaying. I didn't even get inside of such places, assuming that I would be milked dry from money, similar to how European nigh clubs do.
>>11740867Nah Caberet clubs are where you'd get milked for money and debt slaved. Maid cafes are overpriced but not the worst.
>>11740867I see, I was thinking it might've been something like that. The sad reality of it being a (soul-crushing) business.
>>11740898Ironically the fetish bars like the muscle bar and fat cafe feel less soul crushing to me. Might be because of the niche clientele or the novelty of the situation vs the traditional maid cafe.
>>11740867Just remind yourself women are adults and have agency and in most cases are not forced to be there
>>11740867My nigga, most jobs are soul crushing experinces, it's up to us to allow it to happen or take it in stride.
The 30ms Yufia and Sestieh kits should've gotten reprinted this month, how long does it usually take before North American stores start getting them back in stock?
>>11741310Shops stock travel by sea so I would say few months at worst.
>>11741163NTA, but while you'd normally be correct, he's talking about Akihabara - that place is run by Yakuza, and pretty much everyone there owes them money for one thing or another. That anon is correct about their managers being pimps in all but name, and about how much they hate their jobs but have no choice in the matter because the yakuza have their fingers in EVERYTHING there, and if you're stuck living in the area then you're trapped playing by their rules.
https://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/blog4/sousaishojoteien/article/detail/161/Pre-orders for tomboy swimsuit goes up tomorrow, here's the blog post for her.
The white and black parts are colour separated plastic, and she's shiny too.
>>11741767I really need the white variant
>>11741767I'm glad I can continue to use the joints as a reason not to buy into the line.
>>11741769Shiny butt
Has anyone ever done a custom hair paint job on a girlpla before? What should I look out for if I decide to do something like that?My Cyclone Hopper just shipped today, and I was thinking of changing her hair color since she's Kamen Rider themed and I wanted to change her hair color to look more like she's Japanese, like black hair with a slight brown tint or brown hair with blonde streaks, the kind of hair you would actually see from toku actors. But I'm also concerned about moving parts and joints that might fuck that up even with a top coat, and I don't even know if there's any sort of cross-compatibility with other existing kits or if there are third-party hair pieces that are made for Nuke Matrix kits.Is it something that's even doable, or are there so many potentia pitfalls that I should just leave her hair white?
i got the hoihoi san & hoihoi heavy arms new edition has anybody here got it? i dont make that many kits but i am a fan of the series
>>11741944>Has anyone ever done a custom hair paint job on a girlpla before? What should I look out for if I decide to do something like that?Take a course in sculpture. Or at least practice on some polymer clay first like Sculpey because it's definitely not easy to make custom hair like that. I experimented before with making braids out of Milliput/Green Stuff mix and main problem was how they tend to easily stick to each other while having rather short working time. It definitely helps to make some sort of wire skeleton for bigger strands. I saw some Japanese guys using polymer clay they harden a bit first and work in layers so it's good strategy as well. You can see some examples here: https://youtube.com/@Korokke_kudasai/videos
>>11741955Sorry, I meant painting the hair that comes with the kit, not sculpting my own custom hair.
>>11741944Oh wait, you mean painting custom, fuck me. No, moving parts won't be a problem, especially if you intend to cover it with lacquer, which is rather durable. For single strands you better grab a brush, it shouldn't be hard. I painted 30MS hair twice and it was kind of relaxing.
>>11741944Hair isn't really harder than anything else, the same rules apply. Mostly that means painting as little of the joints as you can get away with and blasting everything with topcoat. You may as well take the opportunity to fill in any obvious seams you can as well if you feel motivated.
>>11739536what girl is that on the left?
>>11742002Newest 30MS, Belvera I guess (her name is once again obscured on box).
>HLJ hasn't charged me for MadokaThey charged me the new 30MS girl (that I kind regret getting) and the cubes, where's my Meduka?
>>11742149Theyre probably going through their bandai stock. I havent gotten charged for slifer yet despite ordering RIGHT away. There is no way that i didnt get my slifer since I managed to get destiny sd at the same time.
>>11742149>new 30MS girl (that I kind regret getting)Which one?
>>11742218Belveria-Berys
>>11742221Looks banging though, and comes with two beam rifles which other sisters are severely lacking.
>>11742157>>11742149>Just got charged YE->And for Roxy tooNooooo!
>>11742258Same, I was about to tell you that youre probably charged now.
>>11742221Waiting for Myasty
>>11742266Can't wait to breed Meltina with that thing.
>>11741769Gaijin Rui looks lewder than regular Rui, goddamn.
>>11742402Emulator looks great in her swimsuit, too.
https://x.com/wavemomchan/status/2036088217892798479?s=20Glossiness of this level would work great with (lewd) girlpla, wonder how they did it? Floor wax?
>>11742446>Floor wax?Most likely 2K gloss. 2K gloss black base, small layer of metallic (most likely chrome) over the black, thin layer of clear red over that to get an already highly reflective finish, and then the 2K gloss clear to elevate it more. 2K paints are how a lot of these customs in the past 2 years or so have achieved these ridiculous candy/chrome high-gloss paint jobs. Shit's magic, but it's also several times more toxic than regular lacquer paints and requires a more advanced PPE and exhaust system in order to not give yourself immediate explosive turbo lung-cancer (I'm only half joking).
>>11742454Oops. And yes, to add on to that, you can use gloss in varying levels to create some lewd body effects, or just an outright wet/sweaty body.
>>11742446Well, if you want gloss effect on bodysuits or something similar, I once tried applying water gel ("fake water" for diorama) over previously painted test section and I liked how it indeed resembled some sort of rubber layer.
Have any of you guys ordered from Imaginaire before? I ordered the fat girl from them but they haven't shipped her yet and it's been 4 days. Is this normal for them?
>>11742507Blue board!
>>11737275
>>11742489>ImaginaireThey're legit, at the very least. Can't say anything about their individual treatment of customers and their orders though.
>>11742507Zamn! That's a big clit!
>>11742507SEX
>>11739640reply please
>>11741946I have the old Heavyarms. I don't know what the difference between the old and the new is, I assume material.The kit is okay. Seams on all limbs in a standard koto fashion. The sleeve on one of the shoulders was kinda hard to join together while trying not to destroy the frill. I ultimately left it not fully connected.
>>11742454Yup, 2K paints are basically sprayable resin in a can.I've also been seeing people using clear UV resin to finish their 3D prints, which is way less messy, but that's probably too viscous for something as small as girlpla.
>>11742521I'm sure they're legit, I've ordered from a few smaller shops in leafland before, sometimes they take a few days to actually ship their stuff though.
>>11742507Sister, think of your dignity and hide that orange sized clitoris behind a maebari or something.
>>11742521>>11742610Meant to reply to>>11742489
The first of Meteor's forelimbs, and the first bit of genuinely bad design on the model. The big gold bit you can see is too tight against the diecast elbow joint, and the coating on the inner side of it gets scraped when you flex the limb fully.No time to make the hand today, for I am about to make pizza for dinner.
>>11742620The walking dead ended in less seasons than it's taking you to put that dragon together.
>>11742657As someone who owns the kit and took one look at all the runners before going NOPE! and sticking it into my backlog, I can safely say he's putting this thing together much faster than expected.
>>11742618>>11742610>>11742521Thanks guys, I just got a shipping number today, hopefully they come through.
Does Materia anon still lurk in these threads? Just finished a Shiro. She's so damn flat! Still need a teacher version.
>>11742657Just for that, I'm gonna go even slower from now on!
>>11742507Every kit needs this
>>11742454Man, I just got into airbrushing a couple of months ago and have been doing it without a mask outdoors. What kind of mask should I invest in?
>>11742507is that a mod or is that john bandai's doing?
>>11743172Mod for sure, just a bit of sanding.
Anyone have a good pic of the ugly ass hips on the Umamusume FRS. Need to show a friend cause he wanted to get some.
>>11743084If you're airbrushing lacquers, then you need something rated for organic vapors. Masks won't do, you need an actual RESPIRATOR. a 3M respirator with 60923 filter cartridges combo will protect you from all lacquers, and 2K. Though, if you do eventually decide to go the 2K route, not only are those filters mandatory, but you'll want full PPE (as little skin exposed as possible, at least your arms and hands covered, and trade the 3M respirator out for a 3M full-face mask). Shit ain't no joke, but it produces magical results.
>>11743224Well fuck, guess I should hold off painting until I get a respirator and a spray booth. I've just been doing it in my house yard without a care.
>>11743219This one?
>>11743238Yeah thanks that's basically all I need. What were they smoking.
>>11743281Just make your own Uma.
>>11737281why no one tells me what figure this this??
>>11743295There's already a 30ms uma but the FRS team got butthurt so the other ones have been under the FRS line despite just being 30ms kits
>>11743325Yeah the 30MS Teio have better tech and builds it's also look cooler because of the mecha musume looks. I only own Suzuka and she is fine for the most part, If it's released recently I could see the Teio, Special week and Suzuka being released under the 30 minutes preference lines like the other non Bandai anime. At the same times I'm glad they are FRS with FRS prices..
Madoka is going even further beyond
>>11743399Haven't seen this in like 10 years.
Got some girlpla today. Going to build myself big Gourai first, then maybe the fat FAG. Not pictured: my closets full of backlog.
>>11743539Good taste. I like all of these (no opinions on the Gundam, though).>closets full of backlogCouldn't be me...
Do stores usually put reprinted kits up for pre-order before they restock?
