>>11778383yeah she should feel bad
>>11778382>After-School ClimaxDo they have even a slightest idea how that sound? Now imagine poor dude attempting to write that down in search field.
>>11778401>Now imagine poor dude attempting to write that down in search field.Doing a search with an erection isn't usually too difficult. It'd only be a problem discussing the line >in personAnd why worry about something that won't happen?
>>11778377>>11778379>>11778389They really make you want her despite being a variation, I might give in soon tm>>11778245if anyone could help with this, btw I'd appreciate it
>>11778377>Did you pick her up?No. I have many regrets. Reissue soon, pls Koto!!
>>11778377>Did you pick her up?Pft, no. What's the use of a fat cunt if she has no tits? No, I'm waiting for a reissue of Otsu, curse the asshole who stole my package, i hope he wipes his ass with that poison ivy that keeps on stinging forever and drove a guy to suicide. Look it up, it's real.
>>11778377>Did you pick her up? Technically. She's in my warehouse, I'll ship her when one more thing comes in stock. >Do her expressions fit her body type? Brat with a side of bullied fat flatty? Weirdly, yes. >Are you excited for the third Kagutsuchi sister in the (hopefully) near future?I'm not getting her. One heavily armored busty chubster is enough and I don't need her weapons.
Gi is finally free from private warehouse prison...
>>11778593Nice haul
>>11778593Going to work out giving Ginlang long hair instead of the pony tail, somehow she has several pieces of art that way...
some color C from today. my local shop is actually packed with 30MS>>11778593good stuff, i should probably work on getting all the puni mofu girls eventually
>>11778635dropped my image
>>11778593Post Gabriel when you get around to her - I was debating getting her, but ultimately ended up passing.
>>11778637Cute Lulu. Her leg warmers look kind of goofy, so I got the Climb Unit option set as well.
>>11778671>>11778637Ah man, I should get a Lulu kit at some point, I wanted to kitbash her with one of the rabbit girls to make a discount Mirko look-alike.
More for the backlog, been a pain in the ass trying to find a Yufia kit to Kitbash with Berys, at least she's SUPPOSED to restock this month.
>>11778245Smallest one maybe
Next Bandai announcement when?
>kurogyaru ninja HoneyBENIS HAS REACTED VIOLENTLY
>>11778859already scheduled for the 26th.
Hemoxian moving in onto Shinki/Strike Witches territory.
>>11778919
>>11778919>>11778923Neat.
>>11778923Robutt also turns into one of those FAG styled chair mecha
>>11778919>>11778923We had the era of Planelegs.But will we have an era of Bayonetlegs?
>>11778635>the puni mofu girls eventuallySame except not all the colour variations, but I liked Yuki Tu's scheme so I'm in a dilemma now. Pick simply my fav of the two? Go for the og colours? My mofu lineup will look wacky
>>11778919>>11778923>>11778928Finally, a chinki that doesn't look like an assortment of gundam seed spiky leftover parts.
>>11778875I need to put in more effort...
>>11778875I need to get some decent fishnetting one of these day and give it a try
>>11778919>>11778923>>11778928Never seen this company before, these look fantastic. I found this one on a random twitter thread. Do they have a projected release date for these yet?>>11779232painfully thick
>>11778875>reading the manga...God, I though just the designs were trash but the story and drawings are utter shit, why didn't they make a decent Honey instead?
>>11778471>if anyone could help with this, btw I'd appreciate itWhat in the world are we even looking at here out of curiosity? Balls on sticks?>>11779232Gotta hand it to this guy- he can sculpt fatties like no other.
>>11779400What is it that people are saying they don't like about Nadare's designs exactly, it just looks like Honey to me.
>>11779478I agree, she looks exactly like Honey
>>11779478I personally don't dislike it like that anon, it just doesn't really resemble the character. I didn't even know it was supposed to be here like the first three times I saw the design.
>>11779400Where is top left Honey from? The Precuire-ish artstyle is neuron activating. I like how horny Go Nagai gets but I'm personally not a fan of his art.
>>11778919>>11778923>>11778928>>11779317looks cool, I hope it won't end up like first batch of Aoshima V.F.G line
>>11779317They did this qt who was really well received from what I recall.
>>11779571>PrecureYou mean Sailor Moon. She's from Cutie Honey F with animation designs by Miho Shimogasa, they unironically wanted the Sailor Moon audience.
>>11779478>it just looks like Honey to me.How?I genuinely wouldn't have guessed if nobody told me. Anyway like >>11779518 said she looks fine but she might as well be an OC with how little she resembles any of the source materials which is sort of annoying when there aren't any other real figure options for the character.
>>11779400Is she supposed to be east Asian?
>>11779578Ayy lmao
>>11779578This was what got me into girlpla from the gunpla side.
>>11779654I mean it's obviously Honey just through a different art style. Same colors, same sideburns same chest window. She has a more technologically themed suit this go round, and Nadare's art style is always nice.
In eight days, it will have been a month since I placed the order for this thing. I think my Osiris Aerial Dominator (the MGEX Kshatriya) just barely arrived inside of the one-month cutoff, so it'll be interesting to see how this one does.
PLANELEGS
>>11779837I ordered mine from Gundamit and was entitled to free shipping, *somehow*
>>11779837lmao, my copy has the same status update at the same time. They're probably on the same fuckin' plane/boat/whatever. My quoted delivery time was Apr. 25 - May. 28, so I haven't been expecting it anytime soon anyways since that transportation method is notoriously slow, so the 28th is probably pretty accurate.
>>11779869Looks terrible compared to the artwork.
>>11779723>Same sideburns They aren't though, they changed them to parted bangs that happen to fan out in a similar way. But since there are different parts of her hair, even that is easy to miss.
Started making my own Novice; and was inspired to use a bit of the clear blue runner in her headband by the fellow who did the same in these threads. Damn good idea.
>>11779869I wonder what he's doing, he wasn't the same after deviantart banned him for that jew joke.
>>11779965I really don't like where her legs connect to her pelvis. It looks odd.
I like the chinese catgirl robot. Pretty good for 10 bucks.
>>11780175Is good money for too pretty figure, pity for the scale
>>11780188yeah. would probably have picked one or two up if she was 1/24 because I could always do with more pilots for my hexa gears- and would certainly have got her if she was 1/12 or 1/10- but 1/18 is just this odd middle ground.
>>11780188>>11780193It's definitely smaller than usual, but it's only like a head shorter than an HG. This thing's success makes me wonder if Sheik Mainland (or however you choose to translate that company's name) will lean into more shit like this. Their kits are pretty good.
>>11780193I read that there are plans to make them in 1/12 scale as well: https://x.com/KRW_KRW_KRW/status/2021978031880053020>>11780175How are the modular weapons? Is it easy to rearrange the parts between all the modes? I recently got the male versions of those robot catgirls and I'm really linking them a lot but there are a few connections that feel a little bit on the tight side, like the weapons do fit in the holding hands but you got apply a little more force.For example, for the catgirls they are supposed to have the Uzis that are a long barrel that fits all the way into this core part. Is it easy to take apart?
>>11780203>plans to make them in 1/12 scale as wellnice
>>11780203The guns are easy to assemble and only look a little bit like goofy lego guns. But the pile bunker assembly is basically impossible to put together. The long rod is too tight and it would probably be impossible to take apart afterwards. Which is a shame cause that's a cool weapon archetype.
>>11780193>1/18 is just this odd middle ground.it's kinda the same thing their notAC line has:being cheap af, easy to assemble and you get up to 3 per box, but they're only half the size (around 7.5cm) of a normal HG (15cm)
Gii is selling out super quick like koto only gives every retailer 5 copies. Here's hoping amazon clutches it out for me! >bezos just canceled my xenos Fug
>>11780543>Gii is selling out super quick like koto only gives every retailer 5 copies. Here's hoping amazon clutches it out for me!Yeah, that checks out. A good loli product selling like hotcakes is basically the norm.
Has anyone bought this kit and/or can share details on how good it is? It caught my eye a few months back, but it's in that weird 1/10 scale like the Koto stuff. I'm a sucker for the motorcycle though.
>>11780606What kit?
>https://x.com/cavico_models/status/2052623284957852041?s=20Oh shit, last I saw this it was just a custom someone made, now they're actually turning it into a retail kit!
>>11780627The company is called Mecha Pig and it's their MS General line, they have a small line of licensed DC girls.
Keroro 30MP...?
Proceeding.
>>11780948We posting cursed WIPs?
>>11781082Whatever WIPs we got.
What's the best source of hands for 30MS? I like to make some customs with scratchbuild parts but always lacks the hands.
>>11780014>>11781082WIPs that show just the head attached to an upper torso are very funny
>>11780651I kinda want her, but I've made too many reckless purchases this year
>>11780836Wow, what a waste of a slot.>>11781135>>11781135The hands/legs option parts have a lot of them.
>>11781146You mean those "option body parts" in various colors? In each shop I check these are sold out. Bummer.
>>11781146While it's not a show I've bothered to watch in probably over 15 years, I do remember Keroro Gunsou having plenty of pretty cute girls in it. But I guess when you're waiting on potentially another 9 Madoka kits (4 more civvies, and all 5 magical girl outfits), I could see how it could be a waste.
>>11781168Yeah. Look into online stores, Amiami usually has several available. They come in the 3 flesh tones and but white/black. the latter I think has more hands>>11781189I didn't want to bring the megucas, but yeah. Who gives a shit about the frog, we are missing ALL THE MEGUCAS. Nothing agains keroro fans, but I need my megucas
>>11781217Hopefully they'll at least announce Homura alongside Natsumi from Keroro.
I wish that Bandai would make 30MP Symphogear model but I very well know that is next to impossible.
>>11781137I find it a good stage of the build to fit the neck joint since Koto's are always scary tight for some reason.
>>11781137It just works out that way sometimes.>"Peace peace."
>>11781243for me its the elbows. not so much the peg fit but whether it can bended without the elbow end of the wrists pushing on the tricep and causing stress marks.
>>11781242That, Nanoha and Black Rock Shooter.Though I'll settle for more FGO models.
>>11781242I'd like them to do something with the Umamusume license. Preferably Nice Nature.
>>11779232
>>11781288>Nanoha and Black Rock ShooterGod, yes please. The designs from those series still print fuckin' money, so it's insane nobody ever tried making more than just the Figma and Nendoroids for either (in terms of articulated stuff). I've long since given up on anything like that happening, so I just decided to do customs for everything. I even picked up 3D design so I could print out all the crazier parts for them, like, say, the hands for Black Gold Saw.
how do i test fit joints?
>>11781546Put the rod you're testing into the hole where it's going to live, and gently move it around. If it squeaks, or just 'feels wrong', gently pull it back out, sand it a little, and try again.
>>11780836Absolutely pointless since the old Keroro kits are still perfectly serviceable. Heck back in the day I snagged a whole bunch because they were binning.
>>11781563This won't always work, but on the other hand there's literally no other way.I broke one of my summer hresburger's twintail ball joint by trying to test fit it - it was so tight that I couldn't move it at all. I needed to drill a hole from the back to pull out the broken off ball. I did repair it in the end.
>>11781594Holy shit, had exactly the same problem! But drilled the ball instead and pulled it out that way. And when I mentioned it on /m/, I was called "hamburger hands" and generally told it was my fault. Dicks.
>>11781597I once lurked /m/'s gunpla thread and came to a conclusion that it's only shitposters and people who'll yell at you "it's not a build if you're not doing a full paintjob" thread. I get it is gatekeeping (which is good), but you can get good looking results without committing to full paints.There was a guy who constantly bragged about his "rare" models that he'll never build, but nowadays everything he had got a reprint lmao.
>>11780651It instantly sold out on ami... I kinda wanted her
>>11781546Insert the peg or ball into its respective hole/slot and try to move it. As a general rule of thumb a joint should offer enough resistance to hold it and its respective limbs/accessories up against gravity, but not enough to resist the force of your hand. If you noticeably have to try and move the joint it's too tight. On the flip side, like in one of the comments following yours, if you have to borderline force a peg/ball into its respective hole/socket, then its automatically too tight- stop trying to put it in, and lightly sand it, then try again. A joint that needs to be forced into place, with very few exceptions, is going to be impossibly tight and realistically immovable once inserted, so solve that problem before then/before breaking it by trying to force it in.
>>11781621Still up on HLJ, assuming you're OK with gambling they'll actually get it for you
>>11780651>£19 with a discountWhat's the catch? The holes in the stand look like 3mm, which will make the completed model decently voluminous. Does she come as plain white plastic?
>>11780651This bottom one a riot control version? I really like it. This top one too, but i'm not sure how those arms would work in a hypothetical real kit.
>>11780651
>>11781636HLJ has been better lately. Bandai stuff will always be a crap shoot of course. It's still taking them 2-4 days after release to charge me for things, and about the same to ship. Which is an improvement over a week plus for either. I'd like to believe that they finally got their new logistics working, but realistically it might be just that they lost a bunch of business and have less in the queue.
>>11778919>>11778923>>11778928>>11779317they posted some pics.
>>11781744I like it but I'm not a fan of the neon blue hair...
>>11781766really clashes with the rest of the muted colors.
>>11781082She has a whole body now. Damn, I love athletic girls.
With this kit, are they only things I need a spare face plate and hair piece?
>>11781828And head piece. She have everything except the head.
>>11781744Wait a minute... is that...
>>11781870Yup
>>11781845Kinda weird, considering that most the other optional body sets come with a head piece. Thank god I have one lying around.
>>11778919>>11779869>>11781744I really like this.>>11780065I still lurk almost every day, unfortunately.Anyway I was hoping Vertex Force (new anime by Strike Witches director) would get figures but it looks like it's an Aniplex production so at best we'll get a shitty overpriced Buzzmod, great. Also turns out it's 3DCG slop so I'm not even sure if I'll watch it anymore.
>>11781939I couldn't stand the first episode of SW too boring, pantyshots are nice but not enough to make me torrent the full show. I did get the protagonist bitch figma for the autocannon but don't know where it is.
>>11782117You kind of need to give SW at least 3 episodes just to get to the full cast. Even if you're not taken by the main two Japanese characters, there's, like, 9 more to be entertained by.
>>11781563L-lewd!
>>11781082>>11781806Nice! I need to PO the low-visibility one. Because why not get all recolors, after all.
>>11782184I think three different color schemes was a bit much, especially in a fairly short time frame. I would much rather have a swimsuit Gourai or Baselard already.
>>11782117I just think the Strike Witches aesthetic is ridiculous personally. Bottomless catgirls in school uniforms with robot legs. Just looks too silly.
>>11782207You're right - they should just fly around completely naked, with just the robot legs and nothing else.
>>11782131>You kind of need to give SW at least 3 episodesYou shouldn't have to sit through 3 episodes for the good stuff, that's just bad direction. When i first saw Fumikane's mecha musume illustrations in 2005 i thought they would make for a great anime but then they made one and it left a bad impression.>>11782207I like legs, i like panties and school uniforms but I can't watch something that's boring.
Why is Mr color Lascivus Aura a gloss paint?Isn't that a bit weird?Done most people do hair flat?
>>11782318>Why is Mr color Lascivus Aura a gloss paint?Because you touch yourself at night.
>>11782318>BASE COLOREasier to layer and handpaint details on top of. Just topcoat it.
>>11782318Because stuff like this is meant to be used with a topcoat basically 100% of the time. You should never paint anything in the plamo hobby and not topcoat it. So in this case they expect you to matte coat your hair when you're done with it.
>>11781711The cheek size is nice but the center pantie part seems too sunken in to give the illusion that its one complete ass.
>>11782296>You shouldn't have to sit through 3 episodes for the good stuffzoomer never heard of the 3 episodes rule
>>11782524Zoomers can't focus on something for more than 5 minutes at a time. How can you expect one to pay attention for three whole episodes? They'd need to take a break every two seconds to pull out a Fidget Spinner or check Twitter or get distracted by some bright, shiny object, and then forget what they were watching anyway.
>>11782318Most paint are gloss by default due to their physical nature, the paint becomes a smooth layer after fully dry and reflects the light with a glossy look. Semi-gloss and mattle/flat paint are created by adding agents that make the paint surface rough and makes diffuse reflection instead and thus less/not glossy.
New Megalomaria stuff coming at the Shizuoka hobby show.
>>11782416It's much harder to paint on top of gloss though. Paint doesn't grip to it. That's half the reason you prime in the first place.
Opinions on this kit? I saw it while browsing Ali, and I don't think there's any US-based webstores that still have this in stock. The bat and the twinblade weapon are what caught my attention, I'm wondering if the kit is worth the purchase (it's more expensive on Ali than the previously stocked prices for US stores).
>>11779478I don't get it either. That said, the actual cutie honey nova comic has someone else doing the art, and honestly, they suck. Whether they used classic honey or nadare honey, the mangaka's work would still look like shit
I'm looking to dip my toe into 30 Minutes Sisters. As I understand it, the character kits are a full girl, then the options parts are either a body without limbs or a face, different hairstyles, or different color joints.Any pointers or recommendations as to where I should start?
>>11782200>I would much rather have a swimsuit Gourai or Baselard already.That's fair. I can't get enough of swimsuit Styko, but new kits >>> recolors.+1 on the Gourai/Base suggestions.
>>11782524I've been watching japanese cartoons since the 80s, don't tell me about rules made up by shitters to excuse shit directors.
>>11782643Just pick whoever you like the most. Even the old kits had their issues(the neck ball one, mainly) sorta worked out.Most 30 minute missions/fantasy accessories will work well with 30MS line as they're meant to mix and match together to a certain degree.
Kita the Rock!! Excuse my terrible dry brushing on the guitar strings.
Also finished this grenade. With only one broken joint! Even after sanding everything down and then building back up with varnish I am still sort of afraid to touch her. That translucent red plastic is absolutely ass.
>>11782428>You should never paint anything in the plamo hobby and not topcoat itMetals tend to look like shit with topcoat
>>11782643Like the other Anon, pick whoever you fancy. Fair warning from someone who recently started getting 30ms, some of the kits can be really hard to find, so if you see a kit you want, get it before it's gone.
>>11782643you can take this as a recommendation, but when I first picked a 30MS, it was Sestieh the tan wolf girl. She kinda has a really nice one-piece suit that has lines running along the length of her body and its quite erotic as it accentuates the boobs.
>>11782769I did see her, but she was sold out pretty much everywhere in my country. I went for Rydira because the skateboard's cool and picked up an alt body for the titty fix
>>11782775>>11782775She's seemingly globally, unless you're willing to overpay for her. If you have any local shops you might be lucky enough to find her there, it's how I got mine.
>>11782784*Seemingly out of stock globally
>>11782784Sestieh is available in Japan but she is grossly overpriced. I trust that Bandai will reprint her this year, however, shop owner I talked with about this is even more optimistic.
>>11782828>>11782828Cheapest I've seen her was around 5000 yen, otherwise I see her going for 7000, nevermind the shipping. The shop owner give you an estimate as to when?
>>11782867Not really, sorry.
>>11782867>>11782873A few weeks ago when I asked a few shops from leafland, they said she'll probably restock late this month.
Already asked /tg/'s /wip/ thread but I think it would be good idea to ask you guys as well.I can't decide on which variant of "tail" section (or rather just the part to hold her back thrusters) should I go for. While I normally hoard parts like crazy and scratchbuild everything, this time I wanted to use as much existing optional parts as possible (A would require some scratchbuilding to cover the empty sections, for example).Thanks for opinions.
>>11782878So another month or something for EU. But then again, transport goes by sea and there is still that shitstorm in middle east, so who knows.
>>11782884Given you're making a Doll's Nest custom, A or D imo.
>>11782907Looks like I'm "famous" already. But thanks.
>>11782910Saw you on /m/.
>>11781676Does the artist have multiple of these designs?
>>11782618Ohgotwtfisthis
>>11783177Actually going through and reading it though, the art isn't hideous. The mechanical design for hurricane honey is pretty good and sort of balances the go-nagai art style.Plot is razor thin, but there is definitely lots of "plot".
Gii again! I posted her base form last week, but now her Wilize Mode is finished. I love this little gremlin (even though she stabbed me about 20 times while building her) - her big wings are pretty fun to pose and play around with. It's interesting that, unlike previous Arcanadea characters, you have to basically disassemble and reassemble her entire lower torso to transform her. The long twintails are cute, but I kinda wish they'd just given her long hair; it probably would have made positioning her wings a bit more difficult, though.
>>11783346The "energy claws" are really cool; she can also swing her wings around and use their "fingers" as even bigger sets of claws a la Valstrax from the Monster Hunter franchise, so there's that. She also has a big, purple fireball that she can "spit", though it only attaches to a specific faceplate of hers.
>>11783347One more - while I really like that she came with energy effects, I wish she had even more that could be clipped onto her wingtips so she'd resemble her clear inspiration even more, though that may have been a bit too on-the-nose. Maybe I can find some of those Tamashii flame effects in purple that'll work...Either way, she's definitely my favorite gal of the line so far; so glad I managed to get her.
>>11783346Glad you enjoyed her, anon. Gii is easily one of the better girlpla out there. Shame so many people seem to have missed out on her due to how quickly she flew off the shelves. Also, as an aside, the "energy" claws are supposed to be fire as well, just like the fireball shot.
I'm hoping we see the Megalomaria-engineered Governors they've announced in the past.
>30MP Natsumi mecha musumeOK, it's better than a new Giroro
>>11783348I strongly believe her wings are valstrax inspired but I'm unaware if other sources of media have wyverns with wings like that. The arcanadea line really stands out as unique and a break from mecha musume traditional girlpla (I still like them but it's a nice variety)
I made a terrible mistake and got this as a "base" body when they barely have hand extra parts or compatible third party/propietary accesories, fuck me
>>11783381who?>>11783409time to buy some doll clothes
>>11783381Did you really think it was going to be Giroro?I thought it was pretty obvious it was going to be Natsumi.
Hoo, boy; the catalog is broken as hell.
>30ms Yufia going for 60-70 or even moreFuckin hell, I might as well just get a MD or FAG at that price point and get more plastic for the moneyAny similar style fantasy knight girl, i don't mind third party kits, nothing can kill my fingers as much as Cang Toys Samael did. The girl from Daytime Meteor would work but I have no want for the dragon
>>11783658Now I feel bad for having unopened second Yufia on my backlog, which I got solely because I had idea for custom I never realised.
>>11783381>>11783446She's probably going to have Giroro armor
>>11781806Finished. She's ready for fun in the sun!
>>11783743Umi daaaaaaaa!
Turns out i bought the two biggest bitches, no wonder i got spitroasted by DHL and customs, better than have them stolen by a chinaman or korean or stuck in customs forever (2 months and waiting). What i wonder what's with Izumo, her art doesn't look like much more than Kongo, i doubt Koto packed Kongo's arsenal in here as bonus I'll find out when i build her next Saturday.
>>11783743Stylet looks like she leak IQ points along her releases...
>>11783760>i doubt Koto packed Kongo's arsenal in here as bonus I'll find out when i build her next SaturdayYou can always check at Dalong.net

>>11783177ewww...
>>11779837So, how does this work exactly? Thirteen days to cross the Pacific is too fast for a cargo ship and too slow for an airplane. And there can't possibly be enough working roads in fucking Siberia to haul that shit to Kamchatka and then cross over to Alaska. Does it just sit on the tarmac for like a week until the next cheapest convenient plane flies it into LA?
>>11783950>Does it just sit on the tarmac for like a week until the next cheapest convenient plane flies it into LA?That's exactly how it works, yes.
>>11783950>Does it just sit on the tarmac for like a week until the next cheapest convenient plane flies it into LA?Cargo is sorted by priority, the less you pay the lower your parcel is in the last pallet on the last dollie, if for some reason the ground handling monkeys run out of space your parcel will be left for the next flight. That's for narrow body aircraft, for wide body aircraft it's kinda the same cue but once it's in the pallet it's not being left on the ground.
>>11783760>>11783783Did a double take thinking you guys were talking about Kongu's pre-order cannons... like... why the fuck would that be on Dalong?
HA HA I'M GOING TO COMMIT WAR CRIMES
>>11784229I SALUTE THEE. I WANT ON THIS CRAZY TRAIN.
>>11784229I like it
>>11784229Is it bad that the crazy eyed kill-you-in-your-sleep face is selling me more on this kit than the regular happy smiley face >>11781744
>>11784357No thats a normal reaction to it
>>11784229It's just me of the color choices are awful?
>>11784444 (checked)It's the hair that clashes with the other colors desu
>>11784451Those browns aren't coming together well either. Maybe if her top was more of an olive green it'd look better.
Always a pleasure to craft a Megalomaria. Now I'm working on a Summer Styko, because it's the season for it.
>>11784229Wouldn't be too hard to turn her blonde or brunette. I think I like her.
>>11784473They really did very good job with their range of movements and stability, didn't they?
>>11784477Oh yes.
>>11784444I think the colors are really ugly too.
>>11780601Goldymarg shelfwarmed.
>>11784524Probably because she was a bundle with a bunch of other stuff meant for GaoGirlGar, inflating the price tremendously.I'd get her if NOT for the GGG theming - she's cute and has an unique shape.
>>11784444Concept art colors were much better. Will probably paint those on when I eventually get her.
>>11784148I want those extra guns for my Kongou. Seems suruga-ya has them in stock.
>>11784588These guns are a recolor of the MSG set 39. The photo you replied to has two of the recolored sets used.
>>11784589My usual place doesn't seem to have MSG 39, and suruga-ya only had the one item. Oh well. More gun is better than not more gun.
How do (You) motivate yourself to finally start doing your Model Kits from your pile of shame?
>>11784712Either I get bored and want to do something with my hands or fear of being crushed under my own backlog kicks in.
>>11784712I don't have a pile of shame because I enjoy the process
>>11784712It's not a pile of shame; it's a pile of FEAR.
>>11783446>>11783664Well, maybe Bandai is still afraid to make model kits of males in the 30ML brand right now, and 30MF is their only exception because of Samurai Troopers. Then again, a Giroro version of the Powered Natsumi armor... Interesting move.Say, if Metamor-Verse somehow doesn't implode in and of itself after Fiona and Zeke gets released (as in, immediately getting cancelled because nobody is buying their starting push in Kiriyama/Blade Liger), what character from a Takara Tomy property do you even want to see? While many would still agree to a Shinkalion Miku or different versions of Multi from Beyblade X with armor based on each of her main Beys (Wizard and Knight), if it's Zoids, they only have Kotona as their only main option in comparison to Leena from New Century/Zero and Sally from Wild Zero, being the "main draw" female characters in the franchise.

Can't tell if cool or really ugly...
https://x.com/i/status/2054358507215003936Here she is, Rayfalx. Been ages. And her face seems Materia-coded, which is why I always think of her and Jagdfalx as Materia's permanent upgrades.
Finally...
Second jive.The artbook stays accurate.
>>11784890What the fuck are you talking about, she's fucking Baselard?
I really just spoke that one into existence didn't I...
Pic dropped.
Plamatea
Plastic Muscuto bunny.Rip anyone who paid for the gk.
Kagutsuchi sniper proto
Winter camo Garm
Grey Zenith before the normal version is even out...
Beam lance set for Sana
I hope these get independent option sets designed for each main body.

https://x.com/kotobukiya_p/status/2054360504089657585?s=20
Metamorverse zoids stuff.
Looks ok. Really should have shown the willize mode too.
Looks like my dress-up Gourai is getting another friend! I need to buy more doll clothes now...
Rin prototype
Surprised this isn't a grey proto

>>11784940>recolor, instead of a FrostDO YOU NOT WANT MY MONEY OR WHAT
>>11784846>>11784889Might be the 1st P-Bandai sisters I find undesirable.. And I own 3 of them
>>11784229This face makes me think that the original concept was supposed to be planelegs Tanya.
>>11784901I'd rather her be flat>>11784927Tempted
Better shot of Natsumi
>>11784970Still no mention of release date... If they put more effort into this before it gets abruptly cancelled, they should at least get Kotona out. I mean, look at this! This is a vinyl figure of Kotona straight from T-SPARK themselves, and it's gorgeous.https://x.com/i/status/2054360475610075528
>>11785056I wouldn't hold your breath, despite tomy being the manufacturer from what I understand all the actual design is done by koto.While that has no real correlation, koto collabs sometimes take 5-10 YEARS to come out...
>>11785055ooh buddy, that looks rough
>>11784974disappointed at the lack of hip definition but the rest of the design looks better than the last proto
>>11785055Options to go school swimsuit only seems plausible
>>11784988>bunny Haruhi includedI NEED IT>Kadokawa Plastic ModelMaybe I don't need it...
>>11784890"Materia coded"? Bruh, Rayfalx is quite literally an upgraded Baselard model. If she's anyone's "final form", it's the pint-sized bunny girl.
>>11785055Not awful but I care not for it.>>1178508130MS already has a school swimsuit
>>11785096I went over this when she was first revealed, but I'll repeat a simplified version,Frame arms Rayfalx is an "Antified" Zelfikar powered up significantly. The Frame arms girl version adapts that into is an older Baselard, but designed by Komatsu instead of Fumikane, since Komatsu designed the other Ant girls like Hres and Durga.
>>11784957did not care for these designs but that pet is awesome
Looks like she may actually be GaoFighGar sized like I thought.
doko...
>>11785064Though the irrational hate against Fuzors and Genesis from Koto is just grinding my gears for too long, even though Kotona is the peak of all Zoids girls.
>>11785086>smaller tits than official anime art>Kadokawa price tagHoping it will bin and get huge discounts.
>>11784915>it's a real kitI seriously thought someone just kitbashed some random parts onto Honey
>>11785107Yes, I know that - but Zelfikar itself is an upgraded Baselard, which means that Rayfalx is...a powered up Baselard. Regardless, she's definitely not a Materia upgrade - Materia, Innocentia, and Laetitia have no direct Frame Arms equivalent, being a stripped-down Architects (which themselves are already supposed to be stripped-down frames).
>https://x.com/KADOPLA/status/2054360992285597960?s=20>sukumizu HoloU wot m8
>>11785164Gonna get scalped to hell and back based on brand name alone since it's like the 20th anniversary of the anime.
The red skin looks really good in an exotic way.
>>11784229At first I was kinda iffy on her, but that face kinda has me sold
Where the hell did she get those abs from...
>>11785180I'm so glad I never liked Haruhi.
>>11784927BUY>>11784939BUY>>11784940BUY
>>11785228You and me both, i did buy the exoskeleton haruhi though. Shame they never released the other two and the loli was exclusive or something and eventually forgot to buy it from mandarake.
>>11785224I guess it's referencing Van, who had notable abs in Guardian Force.
>>11785224>>11785267Funny, I'm more interested in Zeke, probably because of one scene in the anime where he grabs a gun, Commando-style, in one of their attempts to save Fiona. We may have Little Armory stuff to make that work.
>buttcrotch
>>11784931>>11784955And that's all gonna be in delicious Hexa Red!
>>11785176I knew they'd chicken out and put her in some (anachronistic) swimsuit. I thought it would at least be a bikini, though. It's not as though she's shy.
>>11784899>The artbook stays accurate.there's an artbook? can I buy it?
>>11785176DROPPED
I was expecting Sana to be evil, so this is a surprise.
>>11784955>SanaI'm still confused by this. Isn't Sana the cute little chibi thing that's like a mascot at this point? Is she actually a big deal lore-wise or something?
>>11785086>>Kadokawa Plastic Model>Maybe I don't need it...Why? Koto girls are the good ones?
Ice Eisen has puppetry powers>>11785419In the weirdo combine Kotobukiya world, Megalomaria is a tokusatsu show, and Hexa Gear is a video game, and this is them collaborating in the Megalomaria show.You can just use this Sana as a stand in for the chibi version with all your Hexa Red-painted Hexa Gear kits.
>>11785176actual dogshit
Little thing I recently discovered with Suruga-ya and maybe there are people here that don't know about this yet so - apparently if kit name is entered in Japanese rather than English, there is a higher chance it will actually be found. I noticed that some Kotobukiya or Bandai kits that were not showing normally were actually found when I instead entered same name but in Japanese. Like entering just "M.S.G" shows 31 items but entering "モデリングサポートグッズ" showed much, much more.Again, most of you probably already knows about this but maybe it will help someone.
>>11785450I think that might be because Suruga-ya's global site uses machine translation, so the English name of a listing might come out different than it should be.Same goes for browsing YAJ/Mercari via proxy, entering the Japanese name is usually better.
>>11785515It's not even the same translation every time. Their search is a dumpster fire.
>>11785522their naming scheme on the jp website is also fucked
>>11785425He looks cool, might buy
I'm aiming to get a body for each of the heads in the Idolmaster Shiny Colors 30MS option kits. I'm trying to get approximately the right body for each one, looking at releases so far I think I just need to stick to Beyond The Blue Sky Body 1s for most everyone and only need to get Beyond The Blue Sky Body 2s for a handful of them; Chiyuki, Sakuya, Natsuha, Hinana and perhaps Mikoto if they get that far. Anyone else not currently released would either use Body 1 or have their own kit. Does that sound right to you?
>>11785425This isn't a skanky it's the halo robot.
>>11785602It's a Hexa Gear-styled Megalomaria, which means it's a fren of bussy stinky.
Quints. I guess every Kadokawa property is getting plamo now.
>>11785729Who asked for this? Have figma just gotten so shitty no one wants to buy them anymore? Is there enough profit in offloading assembly to the customer that potentially lower sales are worth it? Are there just way more otaku Japanese modelers than I'm imagining? This just seems like an odd choice.
>>11785778For whatever reason they seem to do anything but figma now. I wish these kits at least scaled with figma. I might've gotten Roxy if she wasn't so hueg
>>11784918the proportions are all fucked an the face is bland, it's based on the anime or something?
>>11784901>>11784927>>11784974>>11784988>>11785176love these mechamusume a lot
>>11785778>Is there enough profit in offloading assembly to the customer that potentially lower sales are worth it?from a economic point, it's way cheaper for them to sell the unassembled figure as a kit and just tell the public to go ahead and put it together themselves, saves them a lot of potential money they could be paying people to assemble and painting fine details on each one.also, to enter the girlpla market with some recognizable IPs they know are going to bring the filthy gaijinbux to their pockets. Haruhi is self explanatory, Kancolle is still holding strong enough in japan and the quints are getting more content this year.I bet they're definitely doing this shit because their latest figmas aren't selling well, plus all the issues they still haven't fixed like joints breaking at the slightest movement.
>>11785844Wild that Holo is the only one actually off topic.
>>11785778> Have figma just gotten so shitty no one wants to buy them anymore?Yes>Is there enough profit in offloading assembly to the customer that potentially lower sales are worth it?Do you really need to be told disassembled figures and disassembled model kits are completely different? There is a case a company actually offloading assembly to customers and that would be Blokees Miku but they stoppedd doing it because they realised they can charge more money for a fully assembled Miku
>>11785805Emilia is COMICALLY massive. Kadokawa really need to start using soft materials in the skits on these kits because almost every one is essentially a brick from the waist down.
>>11785967that's... quite a face sculpt on her. not even a fan of Re;Zero, but I remember Emilia having sharper features.
>>11785967yeah that's the other reason I passed on Roxy. The coat looked terrible for articulation
>>11785307Is that art made by Ryza artist?>>11785778Have figma just gotten so shitty I got fucked with QC on the new releases and reissues.High prices and the fuckers will remove the manual instructions. Just a fucking single paper.
>>11785307If it's like the other "good" plamatea like Honey the curve should sit in the panty line keeping it hidden outside extreme poses.
My ever growing backlog.. I blame Charlona for stunting my builds. Now I'm just buying based on ideas with 0 motivation.
>>11786276God I want to lick the super glossy parts.
>>11783950Welp, if previous trends are anything to go by, my Daytime Meteor will arrive on Saturday morning or so. And just like my Osiris Aerial Dominator, exactly one month and one day after I placed the order.
>>11785969And yet compared to figma/SHF she looks better (besides paintwork). Plamo has come a long way
>>11784977Stylet has completely run out of braincells.
>>11786412Still an instant pre-order. Girlpla dolls are way too much fun so I can't wait to add a cute retard.
Progress report. Coulda kept going but my fingers said no.
Seem to have done a reasonable job of welding her hips together.
I thought this sub-assembly was very neat.
>>11786541I honestly don't like the design trend of visible innie belly buttons through opaque clothing. That is not how clothing works unless you somehow vacuum-sealed yourself into those clothes or some shit.
>>11786549>unless you somehow vacuum-sealed yourself into those clothes or some shit.Eva is like 31 years, the concept shouldn't be alien to you.
>>11786544They needed new hip tech to allow for new ass tech. I hope there are many swimsuit FAGs in our future.
>>11786541>>11786542>>11786544Makes me wanna build my own Swimsuit Styko...
>>11786565Works in reverse, too.
>>11786579She is pretty fun, albeit poor in parts. But cute.
>>11786549It's stupid on some level, but my dick likes it.
>>11786635Poor in parts? As in optional parts?
>>11786641Yeah, I expected situation similar to Hres Summer version but she have only two guns and small back thruster. And Innocentia hair accessories but it barely counts.
>>1178654995% of the time it's because the part was modeled as a flesh part first and foremost.>>11786666First mold use tax. Includes nothing other than what is needed. Kagutsuchi Fencer is a good example of the inverse, she includes almost a full normal Kou torso and several partial joints.
Fug me, does anyone know how to buy from Azone's site as a filthy third worlder? Their site just has their physical stores listed
>>11786741Just look them up in mandarake.
>>11785176Probably based off this artwork. I mentioned a few threads ago she has a number of alternate outfits used for various artwork and statues if they didn't want to make a nude body but they seem committed to swimsuits whenever possible.I think I might have preferred the bunnygirl or cowgirl outfit, but we're starved for Holo figs that aren't statueshit so I'll take it.I'm glad the chest isn't overly large.
>>11786768It's almost comical - the one girl who's canonically a nudist is the one they stuck in the kind of swimsuit that shows off the LEAST amount of skin. I mean, if they were really committed to not actually making her naked, they could have at least stuck her in a bikini of some sort.But like you said, it's based off of a (noncanon) artwork, and at least they got the tits (relatively) right instead of inflating them to comical proportions. Still a bit bummed, though - seeing her in a modern outfit just doesn't feel right.
>>11786798Realistically we were never going to get a nude figure, since Kadopla isn't an R18 line. Even if we did, they'd likely give it barbie doll anatomy. If it were a copycat figure from a lewd Chinese line, then sure, but not here.Also I wouldn't describe Holo as a nudist. She's not shy about it, but aside from a small handful of scenes she spends most of her screentime dressed very modestly. It's why I specifically suggested the promotional artwork for something that shows off more skin regardless of it being noncanon; the only other outfit she wears in the anime is the blue dress you see on the recent figma. But then you'd have the same issue as the figma where it's basically a traffic cone.
>>11785844yeah, these >>11785729 are my favorites>>11785938what are you talking about? she's the goddess of mecha wheat
How do I figure what yellow paint this is?https://www.1999.co.jp/11257489
Fun for my end the week.
>>1178695430ms doesn't have paint matching guides that I know of. You either eyeball it or make it the fuck up.
>>11786749These are re releases coming up next month, I'd rather get them on my own than depend on a random person not being happy with their purchase
Good news if you live in North America and are looking for a Sestieh kit, they should be coming in stock pretty soon. Asked a store in Leafland and they're getting them tomorrow.
>>11787269I hope it means having her in Europe within month or something.
is it normal for the wrist joint on a 30 minute sister to stress easily on the joint with the ring
>>11786814Wasn't expecting naked and nipples but the swimsuit is so boring... They really lost a golden goose
>>11787333https://x.com/30mpreference/status/2055211632410960198?s=20
>>11785096Probably not the pint sized one, because anime baselard is canonically a different character than fa girl kit baselard.>>11785107It's so weird calling the NSG "ant" by that point.Then again, the story per the manual is weird too. >zelfikar/ne got blown up while carrying a bunch of crystal weapons and mysteriously turned into mech Jesus that shut down everyone else, went and took out the system controlling the NSG, then fucked off and "died", being found later adrift in space without its pilot, deactivated, and nobody could reactivate it regardless of what they tried>and they couldn't copy its powers either, but some crazy guy decided to make an FA with no architect parts in order to hunt it, anyway
>>11787333>blue envelopeARONAAAA
>>11787333I hope dont being overpriced like Toki kit.
>>11787333Oh boy, can't wait to not get it because scalpers have scripts ready to preorder shit.
>>11787333I hope it's Arona, but most likely it will be Yuuka. At least it opens the door to other girls like Kei,Hina and Kisaki
>>11787297Some of the wrist tolerances are fucked up on some of the girls, which one is it, because it could be either or.
>>11787333I may be the only one who has no clue what this is
>>11787552>YuukaProbably, since she's literally the starter girl, although I don't care for her. If it paves the way for an Asuna I'm all for it, although Bandai probably doesn't have the tech to do such a curvy girl.
>>11787757https://youtu.be/6QZgCI4jlSQ
>>11787766ah... would've been nice if we got symphogear girls or something, idk
>>11787294hope you guys wouldn't be too far behind, I'd still ask some local shops just to be sure
>>11787778>symphogear girlswho?
>>11787333pls don't be a boring pick
>>11787620marical, each one of her wrist joints developed a stress line
>>11787875Honestly, even boring picks like Yuuka or Shiroko might be worth getting. Personally I want battle suit Yuzu
>>11787333Apparently it's going to be Aris
>>11787950thats a solid pick. looking forward to all the kitbashes on twitter with all the 30mm parts out there.
>>11787333I just wanted Toki in her robotAlso fuck Plamatea>>11787950I expected Aris getting a model kit for this form soon or later
>>11787950Aris in her normal uniform is getting a Figma but only in later 2027
>>11788049The cowards didn't make the Hoshino figma to scale, I don't expect this one to be good
>>11788047This is relevant to my interests.
>>11787333Please don't be Yuuka/Toki we already have those
>>11788049>dat huge weaponAh, can't wait to pay 30k yen for her
>>11786971Jus finished the white legs parts.Bandai needs make extra legs parts for Sestieh body type.I just got the extra parts to replace the Sestieh feet peg joints.Also, i ordered the 30 MS Idolmaster Izumi, the gyaru one.
>>11787950I doubt this is real
>>11788313I expected her being a model kit.Also Just wanted Rio in her plugsuit.
>>11788313it kinda makes sense if they are also releasing kits of of the mechs from the the same story archttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUctrGElmrE
>>11788297I made some mistakes dealing the nub/stress marks but the black parts looks great on her.The legs still bit off proportions due the extras parts for Rischesta/Luluce body.
Building Marical kit.Her elbow joint is fucking shit.Just any moviment pop off like my Sestieh feet joint.
This woman has an extra pair of tits from one of her sisters (Susan?) but seems like it's missing a piece to be complete
>>11788580>This woman has an extra pair of titsThis is a bad thing?
>>11788583If it's missing a piece, yes. Though i could just fill it with epoxy putty if the piece isn't in the runners.
>>11788549Finished her main body.Her waist armor fall off easily.Similar problems on her twintails.The worst ones, are the elbow joints.Just moving, they pop off. No loose.Some japs reviews reported similar issuesThe good thing, the kit have extras parts and still cheap at least on Aliexpress.
>>11786335>the last two packages that went through Gofo, including my Osiris Aerial Dominator, left the processing facility less than 24 hours after arrival, and usually reached my doorstep a it over 48 hours later>my Daytime Meteor is somehow still sitting in the same place after three fucking daysIt's like someone went out of their way to say "fuck this guy's order in particular" or some shit.
>>11788660>Just moving, they pop offtheyre too tight?
>>11788689nta but the elbows are too thin. its a shallow connection that will hold but the second you move it both parts will start to disconnect
>>11788689Yep.She uses a different joint/pieceAlso i dont liked the red piece on her arms.I Will use the color c extra arms and keep her Black gloves.
>>11788660The hair and face are hice but the body looks like the designer didnt want to draw it but did it out of malicious compliance.
>>11788722No sure but the plastic used in her kit seems more weak
>>11788681Your Meteor is in the same shipment batch mine is. Unfortunately, packages shipped via Ali's Oversized Goods method are largely left up to the decision making process of "we'll get to it when we get to it" at any given facility. So it's completely random when it gets shipped to the next leg of the journey. It's actually more common than not for each leg of this method's journey to take 2 weeks at a time than it is for them to move along at a steady pace.
>>11788580Correct. That's how all variant kits are though. They basically always come with something incomplete from the base kit. Some more than others.
>>11779693Legit same. Saw ZA cover it and immediately preordered it.
