Extremely hollow
Lacks shark articulation
Thoroughly let down

you lack imaginaaaaaaaaaaaaation.

Naked Jehuty and Monster Hunter Rathalos. I really love Jehuty the details is nice, articulation is similar to most kaiyodo revoltechs so nothing to say there. The two gripes that i have with Jehuty is little accesories and that waist. Sometimes it turns when you're playing around with it and then it's a pain in the ass to turn it back.

Overall 8.9/10

Rathalos is interesting. The details on it are good. A good set of accesories (one sword, one greatsword and a shield). The gripes that I have would be that some parts get in the way of posing and the greatsword makes him a bit unbalanced.

Overall 8/10

Fuck it, here's Sprukits level 2 Master Chief.

To those that don't know, Bandai is making non Gundam model kits and hoping that they gain similar popularity, so far the line has DC Heroes and Halo to keep it afloat.

First of all, the build, lets talk about it. Unlike the runners of a typical Gunpla, there is no extra plastic in between the pieces and end of the runner, as the pieces are meant to be removed by hand. This means that nub discoloration can only be removed with paint, though the nubmarks themselves are very small and symmetrical throughout the kit, so it doesn't bother me to the same extent as Gunpla nubs. The build itself was very easy and the instructions were in color, very easy for a child to follow, as intended by Bandai.

As for the kit itself; there is not much to say visually, it looks like an accurate halo 4 master chief with a couple of things to note. Given that this is a model kit, Chief will look "plasticy" and bland without any extra work compared to macfarlane's chief (I used flash in my pic to point this out, I also did VERY minor panel lining but nothing else), however in my opinion the sprukit has superior proportions.

Articulation is a mixed bag. His legs are double jointed and thighs swivel and go everywhere expected (he can't do a split however). The arms bend at 90 degrees due to their design, as this is nothing we haven't seen in other Master Chiefs. The shoulders actually swivel forward slightly which helps with holding the assault rifle and the wrists are balljointed. The head is pretty bad, he can look side to side and slightly down, that's it. The neck joint is very poorly designed given that chiefs halo 4 design really gives the head no room in between the bits on the shoulder, making the neck longer might make the kit not look right. The ankles also are also not that great, they can kind of bend back, BARELY bend forward and can kind of bend side to side, they're enough for a typical pointing gun at thing pose.

Accessories are pretty bare bones. Chief comes with two closed fist, two trigger finger hands and a left open palm. The assault rifle is literally two pieces slapped together but looks in place with an unpainted kit. The hand can't hold it that well due to the rifle being so skinny, and the open palm isnt molded to securely grip the front of the rifle, but it's very easy to make it work. He comes with a pistol, not much else to say. He also comes with a stand that attaches around his foot, to be blunt; I'm never using this, he stands fine on his own due to his light weight.

Final verdict - 7/10
This kit is a decent Master Chief whose cons are semi justifiable. Using tools didn't stop the nubmarks due to the design of the sprues, so grab some paint if that's a problem. The hands could have been better fit for the weapons and the articulation is hindered by the Halo 4 Master Chief design, Superman and Batman have better articulation using the same joint system. However the head is king of a joke but manageable. He is still very decent and I'd recommend it only if you know what you're getting into.

Eye socket holes still taking some getting use to.

FIgures themselves are great.

Could do with some light paint washes.

Guard pack structure is alright, but you're getting it for the figures. Da Vinci's flying machine is rather cleverly done, hadn't ever built like that before.

Really cool design taken straight from the manga, and it is honestly perfect. I dont think there is a single detail wrong on this. Legs are a bit meh, but they pulled of the skirt perfectly to allow for dynamic poses.

Zetman Revoltech
Also perfectly detailed, with my only gripe again being the posability of the legs, but that's the only nitpick I have.

Bonus, the wings are fucking great.

I hope the delivery man didn't cut himself on this, today he delivered NXEdge Mazinkaiser.

It's small, but looks so awesome. I'm now very much looking forward to Destiny and Genesic GaoGaiGar.

This just in! Joining Mazinkaizer is the Destiny.

I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't come with any real accessories. The anti-ship sword and beam cannon on the back can be removed, but they can't be unfolded and used. The beam boomerangs are just for show. The shield can't extend.

But still, as it is, it looks awesome.

Would definitely recommend the NXEdge series.

The King of Braves is born!

Genesic GaoGaiGar added to the collection. Once again, very little in the way of accessories. It would have been nice to have some more hands and stuff, like the Bolting Driver or a flat palm for the shield pose. All you get are Hell and Heaven hands and a small piece to let you pose the fist in a mid-air Broken Magnum.

But still, it looks so cool and is so affordable that I'm not going to make it a serious complaint.

Expecting two of these fine ladies (to paint one's eyes green) and then one groot.
I don't typically like bobbleheads, in fact 99% of them have utterly no value at all, but if there's one character who was made for da bob, it'd be groot. (It really only works IMO when the character has a reason to be shaking their head like a crack-addled addict.)
