>>11868040>>11867734I wish we could have this level of sculpting on a kit.
>>11868040did you really have to make a new thread while i was writing my post? reelocal online store got mizuki and bnuuy durga up for PO>mizuki 45€>durga 69€are you kidding me? they cost basically the same in yen.
>redo yukumo> her tail is still too bigdangnabit just put her in a smaller box
>>11868054The boxes will grow in size until morale improves.
>>11868064>new xenoalma> every part comes in its own sprue, inside a small box inside the bigger boxKOTOOOOOO
>>11868064They need to make more Grande kits already, the Big Arcanadea girls and full armor Megami Devices would reach PG territory.
>>11868051So, order them? That's a good thing, right? Would you prefer they price gouge like overseas shops usually do? Even if it is a mistake, it's an error in your favor. They sold out instantly at the usual Japan-based places, so it might be your best shot at getting them near MSRP for a long while.
>>11868040>Arcanadea Livestream included zero (0) date style/casual clothes girls.I am disappointed. [spoiler] Although the thiccness on that Lumitea figure does things to me. I've never seen such a nice rack.[/spoiler]
>>11868116>spoilerlook at this cross boarding faggot
>>11868110>Even if it is a mistake, it's an error in your favor??? how is 69€ anywhere close to 6100 yen (33€)? mizuki is fairly priced but i already POd her at HLJ. i don't need two. or maybe i do?
>>11868130Oh, so that's the exchange rate? So the usual 2x markup, then. I sleep.
My Garm got some shorts.
>>11868139yes. my issue is that mizuki and durga are almost the same price in yen but that stores has them listed for vastly different prices
>>11868051Some girls are just disproportionately overpriced in Europe. Looking at you, Ayatsuki, going anywhere between €90 and €140.
>>11868217Kind of a weird example, Ayatsuki is one of those weird off girls that exists as a sort of limited recolor like Rufus, but has more unique parts. She has all the normal Magatsuki parts, and even multiple copies of her flesh runners since she still needs some of them even without the body suit.
>>11868228She came out during the COVID pricing crisis and never really came back down, her MSRP is 8000JPY.She was impossible to find below €120 on release.
Bunny Durga back up on HLJ, get your huge tiddies while they're hot!
So i guess the alien girl is not happening anymore.
>>11868271I was briefly tempted when I realized I could mix-and-match it with Kuon and Maria, but the skin color is all wrong and the rack size is completely different so it wouldn't work.
Oh, hey, a spicy wolf has appeared, too. She's pretty expensive. AmiAmi has a special version with an extra faceplate, and one with a bonus desk mat if you really want to splurge.
>>11868303Still felt insulted every single kit Kadokawa makes always has a swimsuit for their DX Versions. Only Bunny Girl Senpai gets the more proper bunny suit. I just wish they need more variation that that...
>>11868278Honestly good. Either go all the way and do a Gigeresque Alien futa rape machine or don't bother.
>>11868271that didnt last long. desu not even sure i want her that much
>>11868278Says who?
>>11868316I liked the first one, resembled a cosmonaut from EDF5-6-7-8-9-10.
>>11868144The tummy is the best part. Not that Garm had a bad stomach before.
after grabbing this one recently from the preowned section in amiami, it's kinda amazing to see how much girlpla engineering has evolved over the years.
>>11868353getting her on the armor mode was a pain in the ass, the joints felt so stiff I was always afraid of breaking something if I ever used a little strength, the feet are a bulky nightmare and forget about posing them since the joints are very loose.the plastic of the armor feels cheap, even the shittiest gunpla back in the day had better quality plastic.
>>11868362I know I'm complaining a lot, but I just had to get it out.anyway, it was VERY hard to get the hand on the rifle, it's not like the average gunpla where the hand is 2 pieces, here the hands are a single piece of slightly softer plastic and you have to shove it in there, while being careful to not break them.the rife is relatively heavy and bulky, it's a good thing it includes a base. The base parts for the backpack and wings don't have too much movement range so there's not many possability options.
>>11868364finally, she's smol, kinda close to 1:15definitely a heirloom of a time where they still didn't quite grasp the engineering behind girlpla and these were just glorified figmas
>>11868353I mean, it's a 2014 kit (Bandai vintage of this era includes the notorious Super Fumina kit), plus it's made in China (meaning it's not from their Japan factory), so yeah that's a recipe for disaster. I still probably won't trust Bandai over Koto when it comes to girlpla for the next several years, Bandai has been gradually improving with their 30MS line but it's still not quite there yet.
>Stars, Ornela, Ray Falx and Omaneko are all due out in DecemberFuck
>>11868367Yeah, the AGP line in general was mostly... not good lol. It wasn't until the last few releases before they cancelled the line that it started getting good, which is kind of a shame. The last few Kancolle girls were nice, and the Monster Hunter anthro Gore Magala girl was top-tier. Wish the line kept going just so we could have gotten more Monster Hunter monster girls.
>>11868383Yeah, Koto is really raping my wallet that month.
>>11868303does the version with the swimsuit come with 2 heads, or can i only display one body at a time?
>>11868372Maybe. But I just wish Bandai will someday come around and actually make Prisma Illya stuff good. It may just be four kits total (Illya, Miyu, Kuro, and Erika's final form, all to promote the final season), but it would be enough.Say, if each kit will come with at least two Class Cards each as a bonus, what cards will they come with? Here are my guesses:>Illya: Saber and Berserker>Miyu: Lancer and Caster>Kuro: Archer and Assassin>Erika (Magical Girl): Rider and Pretender (why not Avenger? Because if Pandora were to become a proper Heroic Spirit, she will be one of the few non-Chaldean Pretenders in existence, along with Cagliostro)
>>11868430Speaking of AGP, I remember they also made a Saber Artoria designed to promote Fate/Grand Order, and the armor made for her Ascension stages can actually make her Excalibur bigger (and I mean the sword, which got a minor lore change that unlocks its power the more seals were unleashed), a gimmick known as "Variable Excalibur". That thing was ahead of its time because it hints at the possibility of Artoria being a Grand Saber candidate should she unlock at least seven of the Restraints of the Round Table on the sword. They kinda abandoned it when they made Lord Logres, though.
>>11868040She's not popping up in amiami but koto model kits and other figs do, is there a reason for this?
>>11868499I'm as confused as you, there didn't seem to be anything on the Koto website about her being a shop exclusive, just a bonus faceplate.
>>11868353AGP AGP AGP
Armed and dangerous?90-degree bends only at the elbows, and the hands and wrists are pure PVC. Not the best for articulation by any means, but I've got no idea what her contemporaries were to compare her against.
>>11868572the golden thing below her underboob pissed me off, for some reason it pops at the slightest touch and it goes flying
>>11867791Yeah, we need a cheerleader version with the S body.
Did anyone here bought her or can read japanese? Do I really get 2 whole bodies, the bike and all that small stuff when I buy her?
>>11868625>Do I really get 2 whole bodies, the bike and all that small stuff when I buy her?Yes! Nuke Matrix kits are- on the whole- very generous like that.
https://booth.pm/ja/items/8684146?utm_source=booth&utm_medium=email_0006&utm_campaign=new_arrival_notify_mail&utm_content=follow_item
>>11868625Correct. Also not pictured there is a waterslide sheet, which includes four types of panties and nipple pasties for the naked body.Also, that's Chinese, not Japanese. Nuke Matrix is a Chinese kit maker.
>>11868321His hallucinations.>alphamax bragging on twatter last week about how the deco master was on display at acg hongkong
>>11868698
>>11868698>Dark Advent Cowgirl>No horse cock
>>11868796To be fair, that and some giant bare tits would just be DX items they probably won't reveal till we get a bit closer to POs opening up. Except I would imagine the dick would be a vaguely dick-shaped alien probe strapon to stay in line with DA's "stylized" dicks.
>>11868801>DA's "stylized" dicks.Huge missed opportunity that the casual releases didn't include human dicks.
>>11868303>My waifu finally got a plamoAnd just like that I'm obligated to check this out. Are these compatible with any other lines, in case I wanna transform her into a mechanical angel of death later on? I haven't built any GSC kits yet so I'm not sure.>>11868312I'm not going to accuse them of phoning it in since it is an entire extra body and all, but I will agree with you that they're not starved for options with some of these characters. Holo's had official artwork depicting her in quite a few outfits.
>>11868278>retard had to be corrected a second time
>>11868796>Cowgirl>horse cock...
>>11868976In anon's defense, when it comes to futa designs horsegirl and cowgirl schlongs are always drawn the same, so he's only kind of wrong.
>>11868976Cowboys ride horses anon.
>>11868303Dang that's a lot of versions. And some of them seem exactly the same? Confusing.
>>11868639Lol, they still have the prototype pics up? Everywhere else already has the final product shots. Here's the "normal" version of her.
>>11869062And here's the deluxe version. Both versions come with two bodies - one with the simple armor and one with all the fancy fins and stuff.
>>11869046Ones the filthy gaijin sales listingAnd ones the asian market only listing
>>11869068Ah, gotcha
Why are they delaying the ARCANADEA anime announcement so much? Stoke the demand this stoke the demand that.
>>11868040Having two metal pieces clamping on your boobs feels so uncomfortable
>>11869124Koto is notoriously EXCESSIVELY terrible at handling anime in general. If they knew what they were doing we'd have FAG S5 by now and two more movies that transition us into the MD era or some shit. It'll come out eventually... way the fuck after it should have.
>>11869168I mean, they're doing a better job at it than Konami did back in the day.
>>11869168that foreshadowing in that dumb summary movie, all for nothing. I just hope ARCANADEA-ani works out. All these adaptations, web manga, physical manga, mobage & anime alike, seem to be a good attempt at telling audiences of how the world even works (I'm gonna be real I have a vague gist of what happened but have no idea how they fight monsters)
>>11869170True. Though, in all fairness that's not a particularly difficult hurdle to clear. Konami might as well be the worst at... everything when it comes to overseeing their IPs. I'm continually shocked by the sheer amount of times they've shot themselves in the foot. It HAS to be some sort of world record. >>11869195Yeah. At the end of the day I just hope it's good. CLEARLY somebody with at least a little bit of pull in Koto wants their girlpla lines to spread much further beyond the confines of the kits and has the vision to do it, but they've probably got some old fuck in a suit cockblocking them left and right.

First Engage Lumi is up for PO. 3,960JPY on Ami.Looks like it also includes a code for a casual clothes set in the new gacha? The Yurucana Lumi also has a code bundled. I guess that'll be the standard from now on.
>>11869062I honestly think it looks better in gray.
Got back to work on my Mao. Hard to see from my shitty photography but the other leg is done up to look like a nylon stocking. Made a fair few goofs when assembling (really should have let it cure for longer) but was able to hide the resulting scuffs with faux "rips" using some fleshtone acrylic paint marker. Also used metallics from the same marker brand (Artistro if you're interested, they come in giant packs for cheap on Amazon) for the gold and the metallic pinky-red, which worked shockingly well.
>>11869615And from behind, now with even worse photo quality.
>>11869615>Also used metallics from the same marker brand (Artistro if you're interested, they come in giant packs for cheap on Amazon) for the gold and the metallic pinky-red, which worked shockingly well.Random question, but how does the gold marker look on its own? I'm considering grabbing a paint marker to hide the inevitable sprue scuffs for when I start on my Durga Gold Ritter, but I want something that's as close to chrome as possible so it doesn't stand out too much.
>>11869385Probably, it's not a huge deal to include a code, they did for some of the Alice Gear kits I think. A nice bonus I guess, but do we know if there will be an overseas version of the game or is it JP only (without a work-around)?
>Plamatea Shishioh GuyWhat... What's with that waist and thighs? He didn't have thunder thighs in the anime. Seems like he'd be good for mixing with girls if it weren't for Plamatea's larger scale.
>>11869931shinkibros we're so back
>>11869945Fuck me, that's a blast from the past. I totally forgot about (Microman) Guy's connection to Shinkis.
My latest Ali order included some underwear sets. These are some of the more common but also more expensive underwear sets you'd find from doll clothing vendors, I only was able to purchase a set of three due to discounts for bulk buying.They're made of some pretty stretchable fabric, but also very thin and I'm concerned about tearing it every time I put on the bras on one of the bodies (pulling the shoulders out of the sockets is basically mandatory). The thinness of the cloth material also makes it more form-fitting and less liable to stack up with other clothing pieces. It's honestly kind of a crime that more clothing makers don't at least make panties like this, maybe with some actual hemming as well, given how commonly available skirts are and I'm sure most don't want their girls going commando.That being said, I'm not really surprised at the route that Nuke Matrix and Koto went with these, using silicone bikini pieces, waterslides and just molding the panties directly into the crotch piece. Even with how easy it is to put the panties on, there's a chance they can get caught in the hip joints which can cause tearing. Hell, I don't even think I'm going to be using the bras except for certain shirts because of how delicate they are and you won't notice them underneath a proper shirt anyways.I'm happy that my girls can now wear skirts without being lewd, but I wish there were more options for 1/12 dolls in this regard. Most panties in this range seem to be made for Ob11 bodies and are thus shaped and sized differently, but with 1/12 girlpla becoming more popular maybe that'll change in the future.
Damn, she thicc! Plamatea attempts to outdo FAG Kagutsuchi?!
Front.
>>11869709It's definitely not a chrome, so I wouldn't imagine it'd be suitable for your uses unfortunately.
>>11870068Kewt
>>11868625does she have nipples and pussy line like vivienne summer ? Did nuke matrix made more kit like this (full nude body) or it's just vivienne and this one ?
>>11869931I'm getting my hero for sure.
>>11868430I still want AGP Bismarck because she is the only action figure outside her Nendo.I have some KC Figmas.Recently got Takao AGP and sadly her hair há some ahining spots no sure If due the figure older age or QC in the past.
>>11869931He deserved a proper Figma ir Revo.I hope he getting one next tear due 30th
>>11870265She has molded tits, but her crotch is flat. As per >>11868662 she's designed to have waterslides applied to her nether regions, so any molding there would just make it harder.And yes, so far those two are the only ones with nude bodies, all the rest have some variation of armor bikini. Cyclone Hopper is the first (and so far only) one that was specifically designed with cloth clothing in mind.
>>11868040Is there a tl;dr guide on how this stuff works? I saw picrel on Aliexpress and cant really find just a singular blank head nor info on which heads will fit and have matching skin tones. Is there a catalog of hair colors too?
>>11870490>any molding there would just make it harder.I see your difficulty and raise you Gourai's pantsu. Also Styko's. An absolute mess of compound curves and more correct anatomy than is really necessary. With a few judicious relief cuts and unholy amounts of solvaset, it can be made to work. Still annoying though, but I always make the attempt since they both had shimapan in the anime. Ahem, 'bodysuito!!'
>>11870530Yeah, tldr swallow the pieces.Don't buy bootlegs.
>>11870530That thing's only useful for people with extra hair pieces or just want parts.Even then the quality is meh so don't bother buying it unless you have a purpose which you most likely don't.Just get a official kit.
>>11870530I got one of these and I have to agree with >>11870612. This is only useful if you have extra heads, just get one of the original buster dolls of your liking and get one of these if you have extra pieces. That way you're sure you can mix and match with the correctly colored pieces.
>>11870483>no sure If due the figure older age or QC in the past.QC on the AGP line was... not ideal (understatement of the year, I know), just like some anons said above on my pics of AGP Cecilia, the line only started to get better near the end, then bandai canned the project.>I still want AGP Bismarck because she is the only action figure outside her Nendo.personally I'm gonna start collecting the kancolle AGP (at least the ones that are at reasonable prices),My current target is the Sendai-class trio, because I learned to love how reliably they were back when I still played, specially the kantai no idoru~ being the best sub cleaner in the game baring Isuzu (by the time I left the game because of the devs retarded decisions)
>>11870610I was not aware that was the bootleg pls no bulli>>11870612>>11870642Do the official kits have the full naked bodies? I thought they all had the robot armorAlso which kits come with hair without bangs, I want to make big forehead anime girls
>>11870064>>11870068Okay, I know I shilled her, but I wasn't expecting her to be nearly 10k¥. I'm having some sticker shock, anyway. Usually if a kit approaches that mark, it's got lots of armor or accessories or gimmick parts or something, or is a fuck huge grande scale. This is just the girl, 16cm tall, albeit with an elaborate outfit, and the weapon/carry case thing, and two extra faceplates. I was thinking 8k¥ tops. Am I off base here or is she a bit pricey?
>>11870796They're probably charging extra to coat her tits with gloss coating for the translucent effect. Maybe the gold decals are also prepainted.
>>11870796To be fair, we kind of saw this coming since it's GSC. All of their shit is overpriced for what you get.
>https://youtu.be/qIt7lVf1thIBuster Maiden looks really fucking good, I hope they make more
swimsuit alts when?
>>11870770If you want a full naked body, chassis kit exists which come with 2 full bodies but they have no armor and still no hairstyle.It's possible to buy the kotoshop exclusive hairstyle parts and put those on if you want to spend extra bucks.
>>11870770You can strip down the armor on the original kit the bootleg is based on, just not in skin color.Also, I'm pretty sure there aren't any kits from Koto without bangs because of how heads are engineered.Closest I can think of is Sol Hornet which has the forehead exposed a bit.I think 30ms kits had a girl with exposed forehead but I don't collect those so not sure.
>>11870877Very dainty.
>>11870851She doesn't actually come glossed. Picrel is the straight buildShe's cute and the thighs are delicious, but something about her just isn't crossing the "I need this" line for me. If she was lower priced I might've.
>>11870899Gii looks adorable in that dress.
>>11870968Yeah that's...not great. I could see the price if there were more pre-printed parts. Those rings around her thighs are missing both gray and gold color apps, for example. I guess I was a bit spoiled because the Chisato and Takina kits they did were reasonably priced, like 5-6k¥, although simpler they are nice, especially at that price point. The Sofia F Shirring they did was pretty comparable to this one and had a 9k¥ street price. But where I'm a sucker for the Bunny Suit Planning designs I'm not horny enough for this girl to spend the asking price. Maybe she'll bin and then I can snag her.
>>11870899Be the change you want to see in the world.
>>11870968Still much better than how Reisalin came out. Like... she is actively not a good kit.I think they spent their entire paint budget on bunny Bakatoria
>>11871236when is this one releasing?
>>11871256Most likely Jan or Feb.PO opens next monday.
I didn't think Garm being a stick with balloon tits would actually work as well as it does...
>>11870899>Charmed gets a sexy red one-piece>Meltina only wears a bikini top, since she has no legs>Velretta's swimsuit is the most modest one and has safety shortsKek. Weird that we see nothing for Lumitea (who's strangely absent here), Gii or Aruaril.
>>11871614>LumiteaI think a frilly white bikini would be nice for her.
>>11871703Might be better on Ermeda. I see Lumitea as being a bit too modest for a bikini - maybe a frilly one-piece swimsuit.Whatever the case, we need some swimsuit bodies for these gals ASAP, particularly the characters with tails - you can swap everyone else's heads onto one of the numerous blank swimsuit bodies out there (SST works pretty well for most), but not all of those have peg holes on the butt to plug a tail into.
>>11871614That bikini top shows off less skin than her regular top.>>11871703At best she'll have a white two-piece that shows off zero cleavage, I don't see Koto giving her the most fanservice-ey swimwear.
>>11871703pasties and a single shoelace
>>11871961We're talking about Lumitea's swimsuit, not Gii's.
>made a notorious fat nazi idiot on /v/ so mad with my girlpla photos he's grokking indians into the pictures and reupping them

Good afternoon friends, I built this Materia back around 2016/2017. I never sanded her joints, painted her, etc and I haven't gotten any plamo experience since building her. I would like to fix her up finally and give her a better life. Her joints are mostly quite loose and her hand joints are broken. Does anyone have any advice for where I should start, any guide links etc?
>>11872059If you didn't use plastic cement to stick her together, it'll make taking her apart for maintenance a lot easier. Start off by getting yourself a parts separator.
s there a kit with an unusual skin color, like blue or light purple? I’d like to create a sort of alien girl.Or should I buy a blank body and do it myself with an airbrush?
>>11872072Gotcha, thanks. Is there anything else I should go ahead and buy as well? I have very few plamo tools other than needlenose pliers, cheap nippers and a set of files.
>>11872083Actually yeah: There's a jiangshi girl with blue skin.https://www.hlj.com/1-10-scale-reverberation-of-medta-jiangshi-jiulian-regular-edition-second-production-edition-hxn44028She's probably on AmiAmi and other storefronts too if you would prefer to not patronise HLJ.
>>11872087>anything elseA craft knife or scalpel with replaceable blades, and a few different grades of sandpaper. Perhaps hold off on getting fancy single-blade nippers until you're really certain on getting back into building, cos they're pricey.
>>11872088she isn't fully nude so I will probably not take her, but thank anon I appreciate that>patronise HLJI don't really care, I pick the cheapest one (and if possible, someone who lowers the declared value of the package so I don't get screwed by European customs.)Does Tamiya paint stick well to the type of plastic used in these kits? (I'll probably go with Vivienne Summer as a base, since she's fully nude, making it easier for fabric clothing, and comes with plenty of hands, head adapters, etc.)
>>11872088>prefer to not patronise HLJHonestly they have been getting slightly faster lately. Probably because everyone left. I do maybe a quarter of the business with them I used to. If they actually gave a shit, they would back off on that awful cancellation policy.
>>11872094With primer, everything's possible!
>>11872097Basically I want something like Alice from monster girl quest but a bit deeper+dark sclera
>>11872059Koto used to sell separate pom wrist joints because of how most early Frame Arms Girl and W.i.s.m. kits had wrists that would just fail for no reason. Now the replacements are harder to come by, but you can source pom replacements from the spare included in newer girls and megalomaria kits. Get a Gourai Kai and a Stylet Xf-3, that will get you enough spare wrists to fix her.As for tools, a small bladed hobby knife and some high grit sanding sticks are your friends.
>>11872136Just prime your kits appropriately and let it thoroughly cure. Paint, let the paint cure, then put on a solid lacquer topcoat so it actually fuckin' lasts. As for a blank body to paint on I'd actually recommend one of the Chassis units instead of Vivienne since, even if you're basically removing the entire lower half to create snekwife you're still getting superior MD engineering. If you're going to create best snekwife you might as well give her the best base possible.
>>11872059get a joint strengthening pen>>11872094>and if possible, someone who lowers the declared value of the package so I don't get screwed by European customs.does anyone even do that anymore?
>>11872341>does anyone even do that anymore?As far as I know all the primary import places are strictly honest with prices now. Seems to be only proxies, and even then, only some of them, that do this. Specifically the ones that let you put in your own value like Tenso (which everyone in this hobby should make themselves intimately familiar with anyways, but that's another topic entirely).
>>11872404i see, i've only used zenmarket. but my customs office fucking hates me anyway so i can't even declare it lower
>>11870899Give me formal wear alts as well
>>11872317>even if you're basically removing the entire lower half to create snekwifeOh no, I was just using the pic as a exemple for the skin color I wanted to achieve, she will keep her legsAnd I don't know enought about MD, I only have 2 kit, a asra and a busterdoll bit thank for the ideaI cited Vivienne because she's relatively cheap, come with a absurd amount of hands (like 14 pairs), lot of connector for the head, 3 different breast size with nipples... And I like her general shape
Do you know what your girlpla get up to while you are out?
>>11872725They order more girlplas. I keep getting girls that I don't remember ordering.
>>11870968Damn, the gold parts are really grim. I'll still probably get her though, I have a surplus of gold paints.
>>11872834L-lewd!
Sugoi dekai!!
>>11870877The manual is so much soul
>>11872725They're stuck on their runners, mostly. I imagine it's like being frozen in carbonite.
>>11872834God, I hope they make her two classmates as well. I always liked those two more than Chino. Chino is great though.
>>11872970oh I definitely coomed to those beautiful little cunnies too anon
>>11870486Or a Chogokin. Bandai is making a Chogokin Evoluder Guy, but honestly, making Cyborg Guy as a Chogokin as well could add in maybe the light-up heart gimmick his Takara toy has, but with lots more articulation than his old toy.
I hope everyone had a good weekend, because I had a most-excellent weekend.This little cyber-lady's coming together nicely, even if her face is a bit :| , or perhaps 'potato-like'. I tried to blend the gold touch ups on her side-skirt things a little better, but it doesn't seem to have worked this time.
>contemplate buying the aftermarket black six-wings expansion for Maria>it's designed to be attached to the peg hole of Lumitea, which is between the shoulder blades, and Maria's is near her ass where the skirt pieces attach>for some stupid reason both Kuons have the peg hole higher up tooHonestly, it's kind of crazy that Koto has never standardized this. That seems like the most obvious thing to standardize given how much they love to promote cross-attaching parts between FAG, MD, SST, Megalomaria and Arcanadea kits.
>>11873377I'm so mad I missed out on her PO...
>>11873068It's still a sin that Koto never did a model kit of T-Elos as well. Her design was always better imo.
>>11873467Look for it in the Amiami preowned section, you're sure to find one eventually.Speaking of which>HLJ started doing preowned stuffNeat, though they only have like 20 things at the moment
Fuck, I need to try that
>>11873780Seems like it'd be difficult to get perfectly right. You'd want a lot of spare decal sheets.
>>11873979Now that's what I call a hyper body.
>>11871246what's wrong with the Ryza kit other than the missing color separation?
I found a big pack full of part for mecha musume kit for cheap on vinted, I have at least 20-25 faces for Sousai Shojo Teien, I'm looking for a naked body (with nipples if possible) compatible with their head (got around 8 different hairstyle with head connector as well) I originally wanted to use the Nuke Matrix Vivienne Summer body since it's cheap, come with 3 different breasts size, lot of hand..., but the neck hole is a bit too shallow for the joints included with Vivienne, even with drilling, it's a tight fit. Any ideas for a suitable body?
>>11872834ToT
>>11874275You can buy SST dress up bodies. (No nipples)They come with 2 separate bodies.
>>11874275For reference, the SST kits are in 1/10 scale, whereas almost all other bodies in that range are 1/12 scale. Just buy the official dress-up body as per >>11874338 and look for third-party nipples on Ali.
>>11874338Thanks Anon, but after two hours I finally found a solution: I swapped the joint in the center of the torso for one I drilled out myself and attached a *Sousai Shojo Teien* neck part. There’s a tiny gap between the neck and the collar, but once she’s fully assembled, with long hair, clothes and so on, it’ll be fine (the original Vivienne neck had a gap anyway). I’ll eventually find a way to bulk it up a bit before painting, maybe using nail polish to gain that extra 0.6 mm.
>>11874055The belt cuts off very visibly beside her hips before the jacket can hide the gap, her hips are badly paralyzed by odd joint positioning, the molding of her digits are highly amateur... and her color separation really is atrocious.
>>11874036Hip design checks out.
>>11871246>>11874055>toes be like
Didn't even notice that the new Velretta already went up for preorder. Still not sure what they changed, other than the face (which I'm not really a fan of. The original looked cuter to me) and the lack of her Wilize Mode bits.
>>11874543Oh, and they made her thong more modest. Boo.
>>11874543There was a small rundown in the previous thread>>11867671>>11867800>>11872956
>>11874543>Still not sure what they changedThese "new" versions of the girls mostly just slightly change the model designs to match their anime designs, and then give them new joints like the double-jointed elbows.
So is the original Velretta sexier or the new Entry Grade one sexier?
>watching video reviews of various Chinese girlpla to kill time>the mermaid/siren kit from Nuke Matrix is actually a double amputee and that's why she can equip the mermaid tailAll right, that's actually a pretty awesome detail, I like this kind of shit. The girls don't just have multinational representation, there's also handicap representation.
>>11874601Same as Vivienne, just a bit fancier with the orange.
>>11874591The original - her thong has a womb window, and the gold parts are cut higher, showing more skin around her groin. The new one was made much more modest and shows off far less skin.
>>11874543the differences are so minor I'm not sure why anyone would actually bother when you can just get the full kit on sale for a couple dollars more
>>11874604I did a quick browse-through of Nuke Matrix's catalog, and it does appear that several of them are either full prosthetic or are very close to it. I've never bothered to read any of the manual fluff, but given that Vivienne also has the full bikini set (and Lirly Bell is also promoted in that kit as well) I guess you're not supposed to think too much on it.
>>11874544>virgin>>11874639>whore
>>11874639I really wonder if this is censorship or just to make animation easier. Honestly Arcanadea is such a weird series. Most of the designs are very cutesy and clearly intended for women, but then you have the monster girls with their giant Z-Ton Banana tits.
>>11874795why don't they make nude tits for their kits ? Like for Meltina ? where is my lewd snek wife ?It's already for a niche cause, well it's a giant lamia model kit, I'm pretty sure the peoples who're buying those kit wouldn't be shocked to get a pair of tits as bonus
stupidly ordered some kits from surugaya only thinking I'd have to pay tariffs. just learned about the CPSC bullshit last night and my package is due Friday. any fellow americanons have experience with getting kits from them in the last few weeks? any trouble at customs?
>>11873851It'd be hard to get symmetrical, but if you just did it to one ey, like an expression of disgust or like she were half squinting down gun sights...
Anyone know any paints that match the pinkish red accents on 30MS Neverlia/30MM Spinatia Reaper Type?
>>11874795>Most of the designs are very cutesy and clearly intended for womenThe line has been targeting men from the start, bro. Not everyone is into massive tits, so "cutesy" over "blatantly sexy" doesn't mean a design is made for women.
>>11874929Yukumo is the least sexual model kit Kotobukiya has ever produced. Lumitea and Ermeda are also very tame.
why are you weirdos obsessed with goonin?
>>11874795>Most of the designs are very cutesy and clearly intended for womenOh right, those famous women who buy model kits of half naked female characters.
>>11874993I know at least one. They exist.
Is there a kit with an eye that isn't pre-set for the left or right side, symmetrical on both sides relative to the center? I want to make a girl figure with a third eye on the forehead.
>>11874993Lolita fashion is a foid interest. Kits made for men are all latex and straps. See >>11868040>>11868042>>11868144>>11868367
>>11874939So? How does that equate to "these toys are designed for women"? Again, it doesn't have to be dripping in explicit sex appeal to be made for dudes - the fact that the line is made exclusively of attractive females who swap into a combat form is something men are into.
>>11874993Fucking newfag
I agree, there are 0 women that can't build model kits specially they hate female model kits
There's a reason Koto is choosing to make their next anime a slice of life about Angel girls drinking tea and shit instead of more mini robot sluts battling to please their slave masters.
>>11874845No. The new customs thing is largely a meme. The rules were made two years ago, and the world was made aware of them back then. The two years were essentially a grace period for businesses to get their shit together. Most major businesses already do what's necessary, so it's not worth thinking about. The new rules implementation mostly affects small time businesses that may not know any better, or the outright lazy businesses that can't be bothered to do proper customs forms. There are some problem items (specifically those that can be easily mistaken for being target at literal children like plushies), but basically everything connected to our particular hobby is largely safe from random import issues unless the sender royally fucks up the customs forms.~that really boring and pedantic customs officer that gets to ogle everyone's shit before they get a chance to see it themselves
>>11875008>Lolita fashion is a foid interestlollmao eventell that to Lewis Carol and all those trillions of japaneses creator who were obsessed with Alice in Wonderland
Been a long time since I ordered stuff from Amiami, they sure are taking their own sweet time to ship my Cavico Buster Maiden.
>>11875121>A child wore it in a children's bookNot really helping your case.
