Couple quick reviews...

Rei is ok. Looks great. Posing is not, but I don't see her being particularly athletic in the first place. She's extremely expensive for what is here.

Ao is weird as fuck. I suppose she isn't actually manufactured by koto since she feels EXTREMELY chinese. It isn't a terrible feeling but is definitely very noticeable. The blue parts are very chalky plastic so mark very easily and thre are lots of oddly shaped nubs that aren't Koto's mo. Also rather expensive, but at least she's actually fun to handle.

Lisa!

Doesn't bode well for the future kits for ValkyrieTune. I'm really upset by this one. She isn't the worst, but the build is quite jank. The mold quality and parts fit is not good at all. Lots aloft parts all over her fall off constantly. Her weapons are cool as hell, but actually poseing her with them sucks horribly with how prone to falling apart she is. This shit kills the hell out of me... I was really looking forward to Goodsmile putting something out at the quality of the Guilty Princess or birthday Miku, but am sorely let down...

>>11737744
Cheapest option is yahoo japan or mercari. The bump in shipping is still less than the import store's greed.


To give you an idea, Mao stateside is about 60 usd before shipping, assuming shipping and taxes are 15 bucks minimum, your better off buying one for 45 overseas and paying the $25 shipping+tarrif.

>>11737907
>Arnvals
Still pissed at FUCKONAMI that we didn't get MK.2s.
I think it would've been better if they started with MK.2s instead of early ones.

>>11737384
We could get MDs in SL/ML/LL. We already know the prototype for ML exists.

>>11737914
I think they would have done better if they hadn't taken ten fucking years to come out.

And THEN they massively overproduced, though that may have been to curb re-release issues since Konami may be in controll of reissues.

>>11737305
Most of Kadopla's DX versions are swimsuits anyway, which is pissing some people off that they have little to no variation. Mai is different because she is the Bunny Girl of anime.

On a different note, semi-Mecha Musume topic, we're getting close to the release of the 30MF Shakunetsu no Gai, and would be grasping straws at some people using his armor with 30MS kits (and a few Figure-rise sharing the similar construction style) if it's cross-compatible with 30MF anyway. Remind me when it's out or any one of you anons would pull off the stunt I mentioned.

>>11737806
The US store most certainly has a surplus of SST stuff. I don't think there's an audience for it in burgerland so these mystery boxes will be full of them.

>>11738030
I feel like the most usefull pieces would be his thighs being a better transition between 30ms torsos and 30mf lower legs, but bandai being bandai they will somehow fuck that up.

The armor is going to be a massive mixed bag since the shin armor is attached with a slot instead of a 3mm peg and the shoulder armor is friction nubs.

Tldr not worth 40 bucks for a character I have no attachment to and can't be used for anything but true kitbashing.

>>11737744
It'd be Suruga ya's English site. You can get Punis for 50-60 during their free shipping periods.

>>11737828
who is the girl in the left? not a fan of mecha parts desu, might swap her head with those 39min sisters. if not compatible any suggestions?

>>11738097
Cutie Honey, one of precursors for magical girls genre, created by motherfucking Go Nagai himself. Also android and most probably precursor to whole "losing clothes during transformation" element of magical girls genre.

Charlona is so fucking weird.

First, she's the first 30ms girl I've built that had a significant joint issue oob. Her thigh joints were uselessly loose, like so loose you could helicopter them if not for her hips being in the way.

That's the only actual issue, but it's absolutely crazy hoe much extra shit she comes with because of the way the runners are devided. She cones with...

> All of Eliene's armor and weapons

> the entire lower body of Rishetta Freesia

> the waist and a complete set of arms off a 30mf knight

> Knees from a the 30ms joint runner

> dozens of other bits and bobs from other parts of those kits that can't be built because of lacking components like the feet of Rishetta and the knight

All this extra shit makes her price skyrocket over what she should reasonably cost, because the actual stock build is very minimal.

B1R-M sure is a megami device Kit.

I hate the two piece arms. I understand it's for painters who don't want to seam wield, but it looks like shit in practice. The articulated eyes are also set a liiiitle too far back in the face plate to look 100% right.

I think it's neat she uses the 3d printer gray that koto uses for prototypes for her limb color, even though it would be 10,000× better if they had just been white.

>>11738684
Yes, Bandai, this is the way.

>>11738919
I'd be tempted to leave it like that and just have a snek. Too bad the torso is so pronounced.

>>11739276
Bought her for $33 from PBandai store $3 cheaper than Replelo and $2 more expensive than Nyalenti. The other 2 have less runner when they come with a rides.

>>11739278
I didn't have the same issues with the eyes, but I agree about the arms. I mean, sure, they work perfectly fine so whatever I guess, but they definitely don't look better than the regular arms. I'm sure in the future they won't use these as much or at all.

Looks like Gai is out in Japan, our first 30 minute brother. Manlet...
To be fair he's 14, still a growing boy.
Either way, don't like how his crotch is done, looks more like a speedo vs the shorts from the show, could have color seperated the thighs a bit, I'll still get them probably.

>>11738097
Cutie Honey, the heads should be compatible with very minor modification at most. Pretty much all mecha musume kits have heads with a socket on a ball, but the ball size is different. Shave down the ball if it's too big or use blu tack if the hole is bigger. Some kits even come with multiple neck balls.

>>11737468
It looks really cute this way

Can anyone with knowledge redpill me on the different types of dolls in the 1/12 scale, and what I should watch out for when buying clothes? Like, when I go browsing for clothes on Ali just to get a feel for what to look for, they have all these abbreviations that I don't know the meaning of, like OB11, BJD, what have you. And the pictures I've seen sometimes have dolls with SD Gundam style huge heads and the like. If I'm just looking for body clothing, what do I need to look out for to avoid buying clothing for the entirely wrong type of doll/figure, particularly since looking for refunds is probably going to be out of the question?

>>11739578
>OB11, BJD
Stuff like this just refers to the type of "engineering". BJD just stands for "ball-jointed doll". OB11 is something like "Obitsu 11" if I recall correctly. BJD is just an overarching term that describes the type of joints. The OB11 is an actual specific type of body (a chibi one). There aren't really any specific doll terms that actually signify tangentially whether they'd be appropriate for girlpla use. All you can really do is look for 1/12th stuff, or look at clothing lines that are known to work (Haisuke, Picco Neemo). For Aliexpress, typically if it works for girlpla you'll see it actually displayed on girlpla or known 1/12th'ish figures. Or you just search "メガミデバイス" (Megami Device) on Booth, and it'll show you nothing but stuff that works on them. Well, clothes and a slew of other things anyways.

Really need to test Azone clothes on 30MS. I really want a mini skirt miko outfit and the only one I could find is 15k yen+shipping and handling

>>11739775
I've got azone t-shirts and I kinda hate them because they have a velcro strip on the back to put the doll in.
They tend to sit somewhat high too.
But on the other hand, the tracksuit set is quite nice.
I do have a Hasuki miniskirt and jersey set and the skirt is nice. Features a sort of a thong to keep it from rotating also has a velcro strap on the back, but isn't as intrusive as one on the shirts.
I hope the skirt+shirt combo snail shell will put up be good. I really like the few soft goods I've gotten from them the most.

August can't come any sooner, because that's a huge month for all sorts of toylines. Remember, we're also getting the 30MS Shielder Paladin Mash the same month, maybe even the same day, and I have been thinking of trading each others' shields.

Skin colour aside, the 30ms heads are universally compatible between kits right? I just got a few kits but I haven't built any of them yet.

>>11739997
Yes, they're all on gundam sized head pegs. Be careful using gundam and 30MM heads on them though, the non 30MS head sockets are tighter. Could break the neck ball or the head. All 30MS heads are otherwise fine.

There's some kind of trick that allows you to plug a ball joint connector to the AGE-1 shoulder since you have to find an easy mod to plug the Wears on a 30MS/MP kit. I remember it's included in certain kits like the Joint Connector Cube.

>>11740087
You can just use Madoka's shoulders, just remove the inner arm protectors on the Titus arms. If you feel it makes her shoulders too wide there ate lots of kits with the shoulder ball joint.

idk about the megalomaria lore but isn't this like the human actress of Emulator? Instant PO if she is

>>11740347
It's more likely Emulator disguising herself to get close to Maria

>>11740348
Cool, I'll get her then

>>11740347
Actually it's the dreaming style version of damaged Kuon, but it's the same hair as Emulator.

>>11740347
Based on the sword and blond hair I would imagine that's what they're going for. Emulator copies people, so it seems reasonable that that's how she'd look as Kuon's Maria. She wouldn't have the eye thing I don't think, just like the original Dream Maria.

>>11740354
>>11740352
Why does this story sound more interesting than most stuff coming out lately? Give me a 12 episode series

>>11740381
Megalomaria? Maybe partly because there's lore written into each character's bios, and partly because there's actually a web novel tied to it that you can read on the official page. This makes stuff a lot more concrete and easier to stay interested in than, say, the FAG or Megami Device stuff that's intentionally open-ended with its lore and characters.

If it's text you could always mtl. Not that it would be great. There's an SST audio drama that I'm assuming is why they never did an anime. Maybe it's time to rewatch the FAG anime while I wait for the Arcanadea one.

Something else - it was like having everyone suffering under all those smiles and gestures. Both sides - clients and girls - playing their precisely defined roles with no room for deviation, both being essentially dead inside. Girls are mostly students trying to earn some side money and most of them find absolutely no pleasure in what they do, many actively hating this. Imagine having to spend several hours on street in such outfit, handing out leaflets to strangers, often without a break, but at least with protection of your "manager" who is your pimp in everything but name.

Maybe I'm exaggerating, but this felt like perversion of everything fun and adorable in cosplaying. I didn't even get inside of such places, assuming that I would be milked dry from money, similar to how European nigh clubs do.

That anon is correct about their managers being pimps in all but name, and about how much they hate their jobs but have no choice in the matter because the yakuza have their fingers in EVERYTHING there, and if you're stuck living in the area then you're trapped playing by their rules.

Has anyone ever done a custom hair paint job on a girlpla before? What should I look out for if I decide to do something like that?

My Cyclone Hopper just shipped today, and I was thinking of changing her hair color since she's Kamen Rider themed and I wanted to change her hair color to look more like she's Japanese, like black hair with a slight brown tint or brown hair with blonde streaks, the kind of hair you would actually see from toku actors. But I'm also concerned about moving parts and joints that might fuck that up even with a top coat, and I don't even know if there's any sort of cross-compatibility with other existing kits or if there are third-party hair pieces that are made for Nuke Matrix kits.

Is it something that's even doable, or are there so many potentia pitfalls that I should just leave her hair white?

>Has anyone ever done a custom hair paint job on a girlpla before? What should I look out for if I decide to do something like that?

Take a course in sculpture. Or at least practice on some polymer clay first like Sculpey because it's definitely not easy to make custom hair like that. I experimented before with making braids out of Milliput/Green Stuff mix and main problem was how they tend to easily stick to each other while having rather short working time. It definitely helps to make some sort of wire skeleton for bigger strands. I saw some Japanese guys using polymer clay they harden a bit first and work in layers so it's good strategy as well. You can see some examples here: https://youtube.com/@Korokke_kudasai/videos

>>11741955
Sorry, I meant painting the hair that comes with the kit, not sculpting my own custom hair.

>>11741944
Oh wait, you mean painting custom, fuck me. No, moving parts won't be a problem, especially if you intend to cover it with lacquer, which is rather durable. For single strands you better grab a brush, it shouldn't be hard. I painted 30MS hair twice and it was kind of relaxing.

>>11741944
Hair isn't really harder than anything else, the same rules apply. Mostly that means painting as little of the joints as you can get away with and blasting everything with topcoat. You may as well take the opportunity to fill in any obvious seams you can as well if you feel motivated.

>>11739536

Glossiness of this level would work great with (lewd) girlpla, wonder how they did it? Floor wax?

>>11742446
>Floor wax?
Most likely 2K gloss. 2K gloss black base, small layer of metallic (most likely chrome) over the black, thin layer of clear red over that to get an already highly reflective finish, and then the 2K gloss clear to elevate it more. 2K paints are how a lot of these customs in the past 2 years or so have achieved these ridiculous candy/chrome high-gloss paint jobs. Shit's magic, but it's also several times more toxic than regular lacquer paints and requires a more advanced PPE and exhaust system in order to not give yourself immediate explosive turbo lung-cancer (I'm only half joking).

>>11742454
Oops. And yes, to add on to that, you can use gloss in varying levels to create some lewd body effects, or just an outright wet/sweaty body.

I don't know what the difference between the old and the new is, I assume material.
The kit is okay. Seams on all limbs in a standard koto fashion.
The sleeve on one of the shoulders was kinda hard to join together while trying not to destroy the frill. I ultimately left it not fully connected.

>>11742454
Yup, 2K paints are basically sprayable resin in a can.
I've also been seeing people using clear UV resin to finish their 3D prints, which is way less messy, but that's probably too viscous for something as small as girlpla.

>>11742521
I'm sure they're legit, I've ordered from a few smaller shops in leafland before, sometimes they take a few days to actually ship their stuff though.

>>11743084
If you're airbrushing lacquers, then you need something rated for organic vapors. Masks won't do, you need an actual RESPIRATOR. a 3M respirator with 60923 filter cartridges combo will protect you from all lacquers, and 2K. Though, if you do eventually decide to go the 2K route, not only are those filters mandatory, but you'll want full PPE (as little skin exposed as possible, at least your arms and hands covered, and trade the 3M respirator out for a 3M full-face mask). Shit ain't no joke, but it produces magical results.

>>11743224

Snapped up Honey today, and painted her gold parts and a bit of metallic under the clear sections on her breasts. A very nice looking kit but the engineering and feel is a step or two below modern Koto kits.
All her parts being PS asides from the clear runner is a bit of a pain, some POM for her joints would go a long way, alongside another round of spit-shine on the engineering. I swear the double ball joint bit to connect her torso up is like 2mm or something too short, it's so odd.

To be fair, it largely depends on the type of plastic used as well. Figures from back then weren't exactly made by the highest of quality materials by today's figure standards.

Alright, got the wolf girl done. The legs are a more more intricate to build that I thought. They do give you a lot of switchable parts tho, full furry legs and arms, full furry faces (with pose-able eyes that I didn't insert) a few hand options for both full and half furry designs and a different chest plate. The latter is welcome, seeing how I want to give them clothing and the wolf girls tits are fairly big. Will have to paint the paw pads since the hands are not painted and the plastic for the foot pads really doesn't like to be nipped out of the runners.

And here a closeup of the girl, hopefully correctly rotated. The stands are not included btw, so get some spare if you don't have any.

Also, the little photo booth Doyusha sells is amazing for quickly taking pictures. Worth the 20 bucks imo

I remember my days of watching Gochiusa. Cute daughter. No joints in those promo pics though.

The box is very pretty, it almost feels like a waste to eventually throw it away once I'm done building the kit. It's also pretty damn big, like easily bigger than a plus-size MG box, probably because it's literally three figures total (the Rider, the casual clothes version, and the bike).

Oh hell yeah, my cat just came in today. Gonna try and bash these kits together. Teeny bit annoying that I gotta paint the paw pads but it was kind of expected, is the overall build quality good?

>is the overall build quality good?
I'd say so! Not that I have too much experience with it yet, but it was fun enough to build and its easy to pose. Currently building the cat and she is even nicer to build because the white plastic is much nicer to cut that the brown one when it comes to leaving cutting marks.

Which parts do you plan on kitbashing?

They don't undergate the pieces at all?

I'm not really entirely sure yet, maybe try to achieve something similar to pic related. Only grabbed the Asra Ninja because it was uber cheap for whatever reason.

That looks awesome! Please post her when you are done

Something I'm curious about: Does Koto ever run into the "We have made too many designs and can't keep all of them in print at the same time" issues that Bandai has been plagued with for the past fifteen years or so? I'm looking into getting Maria Dress Code and a Dress Up Body for her, but I also want the Kuon Maria Cosplay figure. Do I just need to find better online retailers, or is it genuinely out of print and I have to wait for it to get printed again (presumably this will happen soon-ish due to Maria Dress Code coming out later this year)?
