>>11449010 (OP)Curious what Luluce's upgrade might look like, and if they'll double down with her shields like Tiasha's swords. Presumably the two 'evil' ladies as well will get them.
>>11449019That's what I'm thinking, the 30ms around main cast gets them. As for Luluce... a big ass multi-part shield that can work well with her existing armor sets would be ideal.
Speaking of armor sets, I don't think we've gotten one in a long wile have we...
>>11449027a Powerfist (shaped like a bear paw) and a buckler
>>11449030She is supposed to be strong, so I suppose that could work. I'd just like it to be ambidextrous.
Any news about the Dark Advent Cowgirl figure?
>>11449019>>11449027if anything I wish they go harder with the tanuki motif
>>11449046So you want them to give her massive balls?
>>11449054>And he's got big balls and she's got big balls>But we've got the biggest balls of them all
Hello my friends, I need a list of paints that match 30MS Neverliaโs main dark almost-black purple, secondary light purple/lavender, and pinkish red accent, if somebody would be so kind.
>>11449096Vallejo Game Color "Night Blue" or Model Color "Continental Blue", Vallejo Model Color "Blue Violet". For "pinkish red", you have to give some example.
>>11449043Nope, unfortunately Alphamax didn't show anything new. I think summer wonderfestival is the next chance.
Saitom did announce a dark advent art book though.
>>11449126She has a little pink-red bat accent piece on her chest, similar color to her eyes. And thanks for the other colors
I like the gundam quacks design now.
>>11449150thanks guess i will have to wait for that then
>>11449399We haven't got too long to wait, it's at the end of July.
The 1/24 totally not Sousai girls are quite cute. Nice bit of colour separation despite how teeny tiny they are. I am not looking forward to putting on the eye decals, nor trying to track down the not-Ritsuka kit that's Koto Store exclusive.
>>11449413Dumbo me forgot the image
>>11449010 (OP)Pass. I'll wait for the updated Luluce wear
So which other Grande Scale do you want to see in the Future, i hope for a Grand Scale Durga
>>11449414this is off topic, you knoe
SSGSS Ame looks really fucking good, if only you didn't need to buy Ame and the ribbon set from kotoshop... and if only the red hair didn't already look so good...
>>11449900Holy shit it is...
>>11449853It's ok cuz I approved it.
>>11449961Kinda gross looking ngl
>>11449273Needs more brothel clothes. Fanart of her exploded after episode 9.
On a different note, has anyone completed the entire set of planelegs Walkรผre kits? On top of SRW Y having both G-Witch and Macross Delta, a group shot of the idol group with the Witch and her Bride might be a sight to behold.
Finally got around to building her Willize Mode. Once again had to fight the urge to go crazy with paint, but ended up brushing over her gold bits with a more eye-catching color, painting all of her little gemstones, and doing the blade of her scythe the same shade of silver as her hair. I love the scorpion tail on her; its neat.
Haven't decided if I should work on my Lumitea ReACT or finally dig out either Kairos or Skuld; all three have been in my backlog for forever, though Kairos has been there the longest...there's also my Stylet XF-3 and SOL Raptor from over 7 years ago that I almost forgot I even had at this point...damn. I really need to find more time to clear this stuff out...
>>11449766I personally want Materia to be next because she'll go well with my normal Materia
also it's kinda more possible to happen since koto can just go the lazy way and just recolor Innocentia's body
>buy Buster Doll Tank 2P colour edition from Mandarake for only 3800 yen
>description mentions damage to box, expected a box that has been completely trashed for the price
>it's near mint with only a slight dent at a corner
Once again I'm reminded how seriously Nips take the second hand market. Also my first Buster Doll, what's with this absurdly premium packaging even compared to other Koto stuff?
>>11450646The packaging is actually significantly cheaper, my beast mode sol Raptor got a humongous puncture in the box art because of how thin the new card stock is. Also, the fact the box art is pictures is pretty shitty. At least the Regalia and puni mofu keep the artwork.
>>11450646I think they're slowly changing up their overall packaging style to be that new topless box-within-a-box, something about it being cheaper overall? My recent Amaterasu Eclipse did it, and the Megalomaria stuff has been doing it since the start.
>>11450294You say that like making durga isn't 80% recoloring magatsuki
>>11450294Koto have annoyingly never used the Innocentia and Laetitia bodies for a better Materia. They never got a Hand Scale release, and their recent re-release was with the older body engineering too.
>>11450880I thought this thread was for girlpla in general
>>11450280I never get tired of how pleasant arcanadeas look.
always wanted to get one, but get afraid I'll fuck up during progress (I've only assembled 30MS and a couple FA:Gs before).
also ngl, I thought she was Ranko Kanzaki for a second.
>>11450904Ignore the coomtard troll.
>>11450987That furfag sure is mad no one wants to see his disgusting shit huh.
>>11450789Wild that Gorai didn't get all her weapons but Magatsuki gets her full armaments.
Definitely putting some foil under her arm clear parts.
>>11450904dont listen to those retard
>>11451035>Statue Fucking Faggot
>>11450998They "officially" announced compatibility so they're "friends" now.
>>11451040They're kits retard
>>11451040Read the fuckin rule dumbass.
>>11451048And you can parts swap 30ms and the figurize dbz kits. Using the same size connections on topic does not make.
>>11451060Not a girl so not allowed excpet android 18, which has been posted here before.
Do you even know what thread you're on?
>>11451035https://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/instructions/detail/538/
>almost mid-June
>no updates
An Aliexpress seller has this in-stock already.
>>11450904it de facto was, until op threw a melty over kemono
>>11451131I'm hoping she does well enough that we get all of her buddies - I really want that elf archer.
>>11451131>>11451555Those mecha musume look great!
>>11451545It still is, just because one retard screams about it doesnt mean it should change and also like half the stuff in the OP itself is off topic itself
>>11451761The only retard here is you having a melty
>>11451692Furfag still malding
>>11450904It is. All this shit is literally one guy throwing a tantrum and modifying the OP so he can have his way. We've always posted girlpla here, mecha musume or not, so just ignore the whiny little baby and keep posting as usual. He's in for a rude awakening when Kemopla releases and inevitably ends up here.
>>11451850it really is just one guy completely crashing out because he doesnt get his way
>>11451912You do realize that each of those posts you cited are different people, right? Believe it or not, you're the only person here who has an issue with this. There's a reason the general was renamed from "Busou Shinki General" to "Mechamusume General" to "Busou Shinki and Friends General" - the girlpla market expanded, and we're here to talk about ALL of them. Now, either your a newfag, you're a troll, or you've been living under a rock, but since Kemopla is designed to be cross-compatible with other Koto girlpla kits, it can and will be discussed here; if you don't like it, you're free to leave, but nobody is going to give a fuck that you and you alone object to it.
How do the Sister heads fit on the 30mf kits size wise? Is it proportional?
>TYPE DEVIL STRARF bis
is there a reason why sheโs twice the price of say the punimofus? Or is it just recognition inflation- because they can sell her for that much.
>>11451953>semi-clear hair partsI wonder if you'll be able to see the edges of the face plate.
>>11451953>More parts = More money>Licensing = More money>Fuckonami = More money
>>11451850I'm buying it just to piss him off. lol
>>11451953This
>>11452086 - she's a rerelease with more parts, plus Konami still owns the licence and is milking this for as much as they can. Expect White Strarf BIS and Black Tranche2 to be worse, and if we ever somehow get the Mark 2s and their FAPs (most likely never happening), they'll cost both of your kidneys, legs, and one arm.
>>11451035These cost a ton but now I want one. I guess I can always just paint up a jointed one though.
>>11451944>Is it proportional? no, 30MS hands are smaller than 30MF
eyeballing it, a sister hand is probably 1/3 the size of a fantasy hand
>>11451953Give it 3 months and she'll be a much more reasonable price on Mandarake and such.
who's your least favorite sister?
For me it's Far Farina. She comes with lots of great stuff, but her color scheme ruinst it for me. The blue plastic makes her look so "cheap". She reminds me of a blue jay and i love blue jays. I feel like I should like her, but i can't.
My second least favorite sister is Alka Carti, but I think her face looks nicer.
>>11452848Did a quick edit. Pied crow edition.
>>11452848Same opinion.
The blue would've actually worked if it was "alone".
The green hair, black body, yellow parts just don't work with blue.
They're colors that are on a completely different spectrum.
Also don't like carti cuz her equipment's design is so horrible.
>>11452848yeah i agree shes pretty w/e, but she comes with more stuff than usual sisters
she has more hand parts and stuff, shes good for getting parts
same with alka carti
my personal least favourite is the shark girl, i just think its a dumb idea overall, but she is also good for parts
>>11452848I don't have her, but I've got to agree with
>>11452885 that the shark girl just seems too silly.
>really wanted cyber forest fox but sold out everywhere
>noticed a couple days ago there was a PO up for reissue on HLJ that had closed and would release this month
>keep an eye on it in case it opens up once the reissue actually releases
>updated today to "discontinued and not expected to come back in stock"
it's over
>>11452968I noticed that this series in general have low amount of reruns. Pity, I liked my own Fox.
>>11452968It's a chink set. You gotta buy it from chinks.
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGqUnjy
I've bought from this store before, and it seemed to be legit.
>>11452968>>11452995yeah aliexpress is your best bet
i had no problems ordering from there
Do you guys also buy other thoys than Girlpla/ Gunpla?
I have to say ever since I started with the hobby I have a hard time justifying buying other stuff, simply because I spend much more time with it (you know the building and painting) so it just feels like I get a lot more for my money with those kits vs normal figures.
>>11453201I also buy and paint miniatures and some scale models, recently got some resin kits in smaller scale (1/35 and one 75mm) as an experiment. But since painting single plastic girl takes a lot of time, I really shouldn't buy anything instead of building and painting what I already have.
>>11452968I think her swimsuit version is still available in places. Doesn't come with her fox armor, but it does have a ton of other stuff, including alternate breast sizes and a detailed nude body.
Got my Ame-no-Uzume from snail mail Saturday, finally had a second to take some pictures.
I don't know if its the yellow or what, but she definitely pops way more than the other Regalia. She also solved my "you don't look like you" issue I had with Susanowo Regalia... but I seem to remember some setting that in universe Amaterasu made Susanowo Regalia, so I suppose that would make sense anyway.
Once Tsukuyomi comes out all four imperial MDs will have been released... wonder if we'll see more of Amaterasu AUV once that happens.
New Ronin Warriors coming next year to succeed Mashin Creator Wataru and GQuuuuuuX, and since they'll be model kits with detachable armor, who's up to armoring your girls with colorful, elemental samurai armor next year? Sure, the designs are supposedly for males, but cross compatibility will make that a slap in the wrist for our mecha musume lines.
>>11453592Ideally Bandai makes a conversion kit style core body to move the armor pieces to a female frame.
What's the fucking point of the Megami Device top/bottom expansion packs? They don't come with the torso peg, I have tons of spare torso parts but no pegs. I wanted to make some spare megamis with my muscuto heads/tits but I guess I never realized that the specific peg to connect the belly with the shoulders and tits part doesn't have dupe parts in the runners.
>>11453692Nicer proportions and more articulation for older (pre-BK Exorcist/Executioner) MDs.
>>11453692They aren't meant to allow to make brand new figures, they just let you alter the proportions for kits you've already bought. If you happen to be able to use them for a custom that's kind of a side boon. Koto has been incredibly stingy with that torso joint, so good luck getting an official spare if you aren't in Japan and able to use the parts ordering sheet. I found some brass joints on irosika that work great but my link is dead. SH Studio has some copies of the same, but their quality was hit and miss in my experience.
>>11453709Any idea what kits have spares for this specific joint if any of therm even do? I'm going through my spare pieces for now
>>11453731I'm pretty sure Edelweiss does. Her paired with the limbs from a blue Asra were the secret formula to turning old spares into a full kit, IIRC. Or you could just buy a kit with the intent to part it out. I've gotten some really good deals that make the idea worthwhile but you have to be on the lookout.
>>11453731Edelweiss has a full spare runner that includes the shoulders and torso joint. A regular release ASRA girl (not the Aoi versions) comes with spare WISM torso pieces.
AGA collab Kaede also comes with spare shoulders, but no torso joint.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXP35RY-Wes
she's so cute
i wonder what the eventual p-bandai oni girl will look like
>>11453741The Aois were for (bare) limbs. The other torso pieces aren't too hard to get spares for or are often replaced by whichever resin kit you were trying to use anyway.
>>11453767She really is cute.
What are the chances HLJ actually fulfills my PO if I didn't place it in the first five minutes? Haha...
>>11453692Use the barbell pollycap from a FAG and scratch build the cup. You should be able to buy plaplate from your local hobby shop. Once you've made one it's easy as hell to make more in a couple minutes.
Sloths box is massive as hell. This shit is like neo zeong big.
Runner preview on par with a perfect grade.
>>11453800We have Glutony, Greed, Envy, and Sloth, so this is either Pride, Lust, or Wrath, and I don't think she's gona be Lust or Pride with that appearance...
Nevermind... definitely Lust.
They really did overhaul the absolute hell out of this line didn't they. Glutony is the only one mildly recognizable.
>>11453811Really hope Pride and Wrath are still girls. Pride as a big muscle bound woman in heavy armor would be cool.
>>11452885>>11452924Her armor is silly but other than that she's pretty cute. I'm going to buy her next. She reminds me of one of those Atlantean people from Disney's Atlantis. You know, she has brown skin and light colored hair.
>>114537900, better order a second hand one
>>11453709>>11453731You can get the brass parts on ebay, I bought a few before and they were good.
>120 bucks
>not underrated
What in the fack
>120 bucks
>not undergated
What the fuck
>fuck the police!
Yes please!
>>11454304Sounds like a coom
>>11453790Basically
>>11453916, for anything Bandai, most other kits you'd have been fine. I'm just happy to have finally gotten my cute horse. I passed on her the first time around, but seeing her in these threads made me reconsider, by which time she was hard to come by. Looks like the re-issue sold well, too. I feel bad for all the buster dolls that are shelf-warming.
>>11454304Fuck i missed her now she is sold out at nin-nin
>>11454359She is easily one of my favorite girlpla kits. I even bought a second Elena this time around just because I love this kit so much.
Anybody have any good head swap ideas for my second horse?
>>11454821Lumitea, Ermede or maybe even Charmed would look good on her
Considering stuff is sold out fast and restocks are rare, how do you decide if you really want a kit or if it's just a short term hyperfixation?
Waiting for the Sestie arrive.
So are the others brown girls extra body parts are compatible?
>>11454853girl looks cute and or hot, and the price is right, thats it really.
>>11454904If Sestieh's body is anything like the option parts 15 torso, then yes.
>>11454950Fuck. Forgot to rotate.
>>11451953>Boomer Shinki angel and devilWhen do we get mk2 kino?
>>11454954sexo
>>11454965Probably never because fuckonami
>>11454853I wouldn't call restocks rare, Bandai kits just get over ordered into restocks, and koto will actually designate restocks. I think principal is on 3?
That said, don't expect to actually receive anything if you aren't pre-ordering in at most the first fifteen minutes.
>>11454993>>11454965I would love a megami device version of Tempesta so so much.
>>11455013Only if they go all the way and give her the FAP - Tempesta and Lavina need to be fully decked-out in gear and weapons.
>>11454853This kind of stuff is usually shown off months in advance so if a company I trust makes something that interests me I pull the trigger.
>>11454844Ermeda would be perfect for what I want if she had a hair piece without the little wing things.
do you hide your girls or how do you avoid people thinking you're a coomer?
>>11455138>do you hide your girls or how do you avoid people thinking you're heterosexual?I don't
>>11455138I don't. I also don't have a habit of making friends or relationships with people that have anti-otaku inclinations since I'm not a fucking retard.
>>11455138I use boxes and cushioned them with tool box foam. They fit very snuggly inside.
>>11455138I don't like real women and my friends don't care so no.
are 1/12 bikes too big for a 30MS/FA:G/MD?
saw some on discount on aliex and thought on getting some to go along with my girls.
I just saw the Izumo Destroyer Ver.
Why are both Destroyer versions cheaper than the original?
>>11455138No I actively show them off
>>11455325They work for the most part. FAGs will be a little big since they're closer to 1/10th, most MDs are fine on 1/12th vehicles (not that there's exactly a lot out there to test them on in the first place). 30MS do tend to be a bit smaller, so many of them might have some scaling trouble.
>>11455343Because they are newer and Kongu and Izumo haven't fully saturated into collectors hands. Once we see a Reissue of the normal versions the destroyer versions price should settle higher.
After lurking for a while, I finally got my own Shinki. Fubuki's joints were pretty loose and her stand was broken at one of the pegs, but that's a given due to being 2nd hand. The Bookoff at Ebisubashi should still have a Lancamento, red Tsugaru, two versions of Eukrante, and I think Strarf Orca for those in Osaka.
Who's interested in PLAMATEA Al Azif from Demonbane?

A question for the big nerds, is there boypla? I think the closest I've seen to that would be the figure Rise Dragon Ball kits. I feel like there should be something even if it's a niche inside a niche.
ok, I sold but I hope the make a crocodile colored one too.
>>11455325I actually have the answer for you anon
>>11455388I frankly don't get it, by that sucks I've already bought the normal Kongo and I'm looking for a good time to buy Izumo but I want them matching so I have to get the normal version cause I'm not about to nab both destroyer versions.
>>11455609You could say that 30MF is "boypla" in similar way to how 30MS are girlpla.
>>11455384>>11455647thanks for the answers, I guess I'll get at least one to test it on my girls.
>>11455609Hexa Gear has some w/ their whole Governors thing
>>11454821Druga 2 might also be good for her
>>11455609I rememeber someone posting boypla from chink brand in CTG thread.
>>11454954Theres any gunpla bootleg compatible?
I wanted make the bootleg Nobel gundam to make not!sailormoon gunpla.
The original Nobel gundam kit is expensive.

New GSC series
>>11454359>I feel bad for all the buster dolls that are shelf-warming.I don't, they've felt pretty uninspired. I'm sure the Punis are keeping Koto in the black though.
>>11454853Restocks are pretty common and for me stuff selling out instantly isn't a problem outside of Bandai because I have you guys. We do usually have time to make decisions between painted protos being released and preorders opening. If that's not enough I'll just order if I might want it and cancel later if I decide I don't, though it's rare for me to cancel if I was on the fence about preordering to begin with. These kits aren't usually crazy expensive or anything.
>>11454853I just pick it up on the second reissue, there's never any stock issues. I think the only time I break this rule is for p-bandai releases
>>11455637>hope the make a crocodile colored one too.Olive brown? Why?
>>11455605You know, I really didn't think this kit would ever see the light of day when it was announced.
>>11454359>>11455908Shelf warming is a very strong word. The first four sold out, and are all on reprint 2 and the darkness versions are all intended for garage kits. Them being easily available is a very good thing.
>>11455665the cutest mecha musume!
>>11455605Oh, fuck - there's finally a painted prototype!? I had assumed this was going to be vaporware.
...anyone else more interested in the dragon than the girl?
>>11456068because I think it would look really cool.
>>11456279Me, I preordered this.
It's quite a gamble honestly, this is the first kit of this brand.
>>11456279>anyone else more interested in the dragon than the girl?Me. The girl isn't so bad though, maybe I'll--
>>11456350>this is the first kit of this brand.Maybe not. Thanks for taking one for the team, please do tell us how she is.
>>11455637Bet there will be stocky and tall ones too. Give it time. I am surprised 30MF introduced a new race instead animals? Where are the full sized horses?
I asked in gunpla but they seem kinda dead, but does anyone know if p-bandai does anything with damaged boxes? Or only if the kit is damaged?
>>11456554Bandai doesn't care about boxes
>>11456572>>11456574Plamax is hard to tell. Sometimes it's a hit other times it's a miss
>>11456572>>11456574I kinda like her - I really dig the transparent body bits, and the vac-metal gold version is clearly superior to the cheaper one. Her face isn't bad, but she looks like she doesn't get much sleep.
>>11456572>>11456574Whats the theme here? Angels?
>>11456610She's literally Archangel Gabriel, so yes.
>>11456554They don't give a shit about boxes, but they are really good about damaged or deformed runners. I got a copy of I think aegis Knight ang had two or three parts warped on the runner and banda sent me a whole section of that runner with extra pieces still on it.
>>11456575The godz order stuff has all been very good. This not being fully underrated is a bit annoying, but fortunately none of the sprue marks seem particularly noticeable.
>>11456279I just wish she could combine with the dragon. All these girls with big fuck off monsters with them but the cross compatability is always practically nill
>>11456684Yeah, I honestly don't get the point - this gal and those Seven Deadly Sin ones all come packed with giant robots bussies - which is cool, but there's no compatibility. Makes me think the big robots are what the companies actually want to sell, and the girl is just an afterthought thrown in to broaden the appeal because sex sells.

>>11456682>none of the sprue marks seem particularly noticeableBecause they photoshopped em out.
>>11456682I'll take a look at the runners tomorrow. It's a shame. Not that I had plans for the boxes but it would be nice as a "I can do something with it" considering I've been collecting all the variants of impulse. Now I just need them to release Blanche again
>>11453505>I seem to remember some setting that in universe Amaterasu made Susanowo RegaliaNot sure where you're coming up with that one. Officially MDs are just consumer electronics. Ammy regalia and susanoo regalia were developed in tandem, per the official writeup.
As for the complete not-regalia ammy... yeah at this point holding one's breath is ill advised.
I think when apsy and toriwo got their fashion boners they quietly dropped her in favor of "less expensive"/more fashionable products. She's in the void like the ebikawa duo and that evanjellyoon one people keep complaining about.
>>11455665I thought I was done with plamatea after toki but they got me again with straight cougar, god damn it.
turning old garage kits statues into plastic model statues is brilliant
https://x.com/gsc_hiro/status/1933749917094457546
>>11456770Can't wait to see that one bitch going "Statue's not allowed!" lol
>>11456674>>11456676someone at Max Factory must fucking love Sophia with how many figmas, model kits and statues she is getting. and I salute that man.
>>11456681i'm gonna finally buy one of these
>>11456707oh that's bullshit.
I kinda dug the SMT-esq cosmonaut mecha-angel vibe, but the non-plated version looks like ass and with plated one having nub marks THIS big is just a scam.
They didn't even bother doing multiple colors for the supposed gold on the non-plated one.
>>11456750I also remember something like that, basically, Susanowo wouldn't wear the Regalia, but does because her sister dressed her. Might be a Nidy thing.
Would be good world building regardless of being true or not. Amaterasu being so advanced she can assist in product development is just a good idea.
>>11456707The floor model shows all the nubs. I didn't notice any overtly horrible ones from the pictures I've seen.
Finally done with the fox.
She's so quaint and cute.
I wish there were more designs that aren't trying to appeal with unnecessary 'sexiness'.
>>11457183she looks good, how much work did you have to put into building her?
>>11457193I added the missing colors with paint, removed a few seam lines with plastic cement (mainly on the sleeves and the shimenawa), added shading to deep recesses with 'real touch' gundam markers, and I also sanded a lot of the surfaces down with a sanding sponge to get rid of the glossy surface.
I think I put one of the sleeve decals upside down, but brute forced it and it tore a little.
I also didn't really put any extra work into the staff besides giving the shaft a few lines around those protruding details.
>>11457183The tail and low sex appeal were why I skipped.
>>11457216She's still very presentable without the tail and the shimenawa. The tail plugs with a 3mm peg through the knot of the shimenawa, but it itself is plugged in with a small rectangle peg.
You even get pieces to display her without the ears, so de-foxing the fox is an intended feature.
>>11457219>de-foxingHeresy. That tail is just too aggressively bushy and plastic fluff rarely looks good in the first place.
>de-foxing the fox is an intended feature
Elena also has that for her horse ears even though it wasn't advertised. Is that just a thing all the Arcanadea girls have for their head accessories?
>>11457219>de-foxing the foxWhy would anyone do this? Seems like a waste given that she's a large box and half of that is the tail parts iirc. Also the animal girl aspect is the entire appeal to me. I hope they'll do a cat girl next, I love cat girls so much it's unreal.
>>11457261>Why would anyone do this?I guess kotobukiya REALLY wants you to do headswaps with everything.
>>11457261It's so your 6 inch tall cyber fox elf creature can pretend to be a six inch tall human.
>>11457274Wicked, tricksy foxes.
Do you guys like girl-pla statues at all? The new ones Good Smile announced look cool.

anyone buy that chinese blue zombie girl kit yet?
i kinda wanna get her
>>11457296It's still a pre-order that got pushed to July
>>11456755What scale is Toki?
>>11457292They always are expensive as a proper posable model kit.
If cheap wpuld buy,
>>11456676>>11456674Is she some mascot type of good smille or other company?
>>11457360There doesn't seem to be a scale marked on Toki's box but she's probably around 1/10 to 1/12 like most girlpla.
>>11457296>anyone buy that chinese blue zombie girl kit yet?yep
>i kinda wanna get hergot her, but is pretty limited by the hair
>>11457367How is that possible, doesn't she release in July?
Will Blokees release the Eva girls kits?
I remember in the blokees thread before the site shutdown.
>>11457361No, she's the poster girl of Bunny Suit Planning. There are several other girls, but she gets first billing on new ideas. Veronica is starting to get more figures.
She's getting two Animeister 1/9th seamless figures too eventually.
>>11457367limited how exactly?
i get that its big ponytail, but it doesnt look like it gets in the way
>>11456676Finally - a proper bunny suit.
Too bad the thighs don't go up to the waist.
is it alright to use the red memehand for the first cut, or is it better to use a tamiya modelers side cutter? i'm using the blue memehand for the second cut
especially on grey pieces, i'm getting black stress marks currently and the glassfile doesn't really remove them
>>11457419First cut should be a couple mm off the part with whatever cheap nipper your using, then just off the part with a single blade nipper, then clean up with your knife/file/sandpaper
>>11457419Stress marks can be removed with a round tip toothpick or sculpting tool.
>>11457419Unless I misunderstood, that's not stress marks?
>especially on grey pieces, i'm getting black stress marksThat's just how the injection molding process works. You'll get darker plastic at the gates.
Actual stress marks make your plastic lighter or white. That can be resolved with the tips from other anons.
>>11457369>>11457415Sorry, somehow I got a mental fart and I thought you were talking about SS Grisa...
I am also waiting for the Jiang Shi to be released
>>11457417Still too stylized to be a proper bunny suit
>>11457360I think shes roughly 1/10? I'll go dig out my F.A.G.s for a size comparison photo
>>11457219>de-foxing the fox is an intended feature.The fox bits are kinda the point of her, though - without them she's just another generic anime girl.
That being said, I'm with
>>11457216 concerning the tail - I don't mind her being cute rather than sexy, but that tail is so ungainly that I just couldn't bring myself to get her.
>>11457430i think i phrased it a bit badly, is there any difference whether i use a single bladed nipper or a cheap sidecutter?
>>11457435i'll keep that in mind!
>>11457454>That's just how the injection molding process works. You'll get darker plastic at the gates.ah okay, then they're not stress marks. i assume my technique has nothing to do with it then?
>>11457462Surprised as the chink companies dont make some kit based in Gacha girls.
>>11457361basically she is OC of Takamine Nadare who is living the dream of getting her tons of figures, she already got 2 figmas (which are being reissued, with another of his OCs getting her reissued now) a Plamax kit out and another out later and a bunch of other figures like
>>11457407 said.
Personally have all the figmas and they're great, got the swimsuit kit but not built it yet and got the tiger girl on preorder, Sophia is pretty good and I'll probably get those other kits, the bike one looks like it could be fun.
>>11457491Using
>>11456707 this as an example. Ignoring how difficult it is to clean gold plastic, if this is what you mean. This is all from the injection molding process and is unavoidable. You can fix it by going one level higher and by painting your kits.
>>11457491On the second cut 100% its completely different. Using the single bladed cutter (correctly) makes stress marks extremely unlikely to form. There is a reason modelers refer to your stock beginner tamiyas as crush type nippers.
Now, that said, someone with enough skill can absolutely do both cuts with their crush type nippers, but it is wrather inconsistent on if it will stress the plastic.
>>11457528That's nice and all, but I like this...
>>11457555Fuck and I just got the original Sophia release
>>11457544>You can fix it by going one level higher and by painting your kits.i think i'll just live with it...
>>11457546yeah for the second cut i got the blue godhands. i used the tamiya modelers side cutter (crush type) for the previous kit, the godhands (and glassfile) are such a QoL improvement. Less work and faster.
But my question is more about the firsr cut - if there's any difference between using a crush type or a single bladed nipper because i have both options (the aforementioned tamiya and red godhands). but since what i thought were stressmarks comes from the molding process, i assume it makes no difference for the first cut?
>>11457560It's ok, this one is purple.
>>11457555Yeah it's really good, god Sophia is hurting my wallet
>>11457360>>11457468here she is with baihu and styko
>>11457600So bigger than plamax sized.
>>11457555This is the one I've been waiting on. never cared for bunny girl outfits, but demon girls/succubi? Hell yeah.
>>11457387Oh this is a kit? I thought it was a complete figure. Tbh I really wanted a complete Asuka. I guess I will just get the 30MP one when it comes out then if they're both kits.
>>11457600>>11457616Vs Figma BAs
I thinking Get Ryza Miku Racer ki because her Figma is 200 bucks or more.
>>11457673Will be a ``kit`` like the Miku by the same company.
Two colors, enough parts in each kit for two full bodies, one the actual girl and the other a flesh tone blank body. White is color A, black is color B
These are intended to be used with Block 1 mds, so the legs may not work fully with buster dolls and at all the L sized girls
>>11455659>>11455665>>11455609Heres the boypla:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKbUvj4nQTM

>>11457758GRANDE SCALE?!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF-xdiL7Nr0
>>11457758Weird. This would be really cool to display with the hand scale FAGs though.
>>11457789Really want a Gourai Kai version of the basic Gourai, especially in her anime white colors.
>>11457790They did release her armor parts in white as a kotoshop option, but without the Kai parts
>>11457718lol, they scale so bad!
>>11457832Plamatea never really scaled with other companies or even their own products.
Most of them are bigger than 1/10 scale.
>>11457874yeah, I remember their first display showing the Migus as big as Guts
>>11456796Too bad about the colour..

>>11457758A 1/6 doll body for casual clothes Gourai goodness, of course! Not that they said when pre-orders start.

>>11457949>>11457979Also thinking about it, they could easily just do 1/6 scale heads for the Sousai girls to go with the dress-up body, and sell their uniforms as 1/6 doll clothes too.
This also means I can huff some copium/paint thinner and get disappointed when they don't give me a Materia White in her teacher outfit.

I have another koto kit but it's coming in on Wednesday so I have to wait a bit.
>>11458389You mean the box being a single piece instead of two?
That's the new norm now at least for MDs and Megalos.
My Arcanadea Charmed still had the 2 piece box.
I personally like it tho cuz it has the full illustration on the other side.
>>11458389>>11458427My Megalomaria Ruby Eye and Novice also came in a slide-out box.
>>11458429I meant the outer box but yeah, it comes with the slide box. too
Took Jinrai out from backlog hell and holy shit, i forgot how much you had to fight to make things fit with these kits. 30 minutes of scraping plastic from the pegs just to build the head.

she barely fits...
>>11458389They've been like that since the buster dolls. The asra updates came in the old boxes, but every MD since including Sol Raptor Beast Mode has come in the slide out boxes. Frame arms girls have all been the old box style though. I imagine Gourai II will probably change that.

>>11458536fox on a fox is pretty cute
i want to get them both but Yakumo is like $80 dolans and that cost is mostly her tail
Just put together the Megalomaria Penetrator and her legs clamp around the PVC pieces really loosely. Is that to do with the green plastic, because usually it's a nice tight fit (others I have so far are Seeker, Principal, and Mephisto), but due to the looseness she has trouble standing. I'll leave some floor polish in there overnight to see if it can sufficiently thicken up. There's always a tissue paper trick, and super glue as a last resort. Just curious if anyone had experienced similarly.
>>11458781Vividred was done dirty in general. I'm surprised it even got the two Figma releases it did.
>>11458847I just finished a ruby eye creep poison the other day and it works fine. Bad kit maybe?
>>11458895Peridot? Thinking of getting her over the regular Ruby Eye just because it's a lot more interesting of a color scheme, given how many white kits there are on the female side of things.
Who knows, I guess, but it's on both legs, so I kind of figured it was the color, given that it's the same part otherwise. But then there are no other tolerance issues anywhere else on the kit, so who knows.
>>11458897I have a hard time seeing why the plastic color caused it, but the fact that of it being both legs is definitely too suspicious to ignore.
I built the pink version of the color scheme, peridot is the name of the green version. I like the zombie pose options, so i would heartily recommend picking one up.
>>11457230my wife is so beautiful.
Iโve never bothered before, but what proxy would be best for getting the koto exclusive (hair)?
Anybody here got experience customizing 30MS faceplates from scratch, especially Color C? I am working on a figurine of an OC of mine and I'd like some tips on what paints/markers/etc. to use for the white parts of eyes. I'm considering just doing it with a mix of the smallest Posca markers and the Gundam ones, but I'd appreciate if anybody had any more detailed tips.
>>11459110>proxyI'm honestly not sure if any proxies or forwarders work with Koto, as far as I know Koto tells them to fuck off.
That's the whole trouble with these exclusives.
>>11458507Mine came together normally, and I put her together before I started playing with plastic cement.
The worst part was painting the weapons, because they friction lock against everything - especially the polearm handle
I think good old Jinrai is one of those FAGs that will hold up for a long time since she's very flexible for her age.

This shit didn't happen with the skankies.

>>11460526>hobby store nearby, either have to order or go downtownMy nearest one is hours of driving away, so it's all online order all the time. Although I've never had Tamiya extra thin straight up evaporate on me, I've got total OCD about making sure the cap is right.

Your opinion is shit.
I only beg for FAGs to stop using limbs with a split in the middle and slit wrists.
I can only cement this stuff so well
>>11461327They started adding space between joints as far back as Susanowo at least to prevent glue wicking into the joint and reduce paint scrapes.
>>11461448True - I haven't had issues with cementing the split, but not everything will look decent after the full seam removal treatment.
Slit wrists/ankles are still a pain to cement over without going into making sprue goo, and even then ABS doesn't work as well are regular PS does.
Feel free to call it a skill issue because I don't do full paint jobs,

>>11461680>Not out and no evidence of future releases using itDamn, this guy's REALLY uninformed
Izumo's been out since like march, Wilber nine came out this month, Burger qi pao has 2 variants, Kagutsuchi's been confirmed since last year
You seriously have no idea what you're talking about right now
Come back after educating yourself educating yourself retard
>>11460882You're an idiot. Koto HAS always been about reskins, recolors and DLC
>>11461688>Wilber nineActually last month. Forgot cuz I still have it in PW.
>>11461692>Innovation>Asra>Makes 9 separate kits out of a single body with different weapon "placements">Bullet knights>Make 4 kits with different color plastic and another 4 kits with less parts and adding existing MSG>Chaopre>Same as BK
>>11461707Executioner and Bride share only a few armor parts with their bases, and the add on msgs they come with, while not as massive as Lancer's or Launcher's, are quite substantial. There is also no point comparing Witch and Magical Girl to Alice or Red Hood when they are substantial upgrades, and one of the two is one of the most beloved MDs.
As for Asra, it's 11. Put some respec on that number.
I don't know why you guys are trying to fight about some shit like this, the two lines are trying to do very substantially different things. One is trying to adapt established designs into girls, and the other is trying to be Busou Shinki as model kits. One has a lot more room for creative freedom and I understand that can leave the other feeling a little jank sometimes. When your given artwork you have to adapt as a poseable model kit some things get a little weird, something having an established base body makes much easier.
