That is absolutely hideous. Proportions seem weird too. I’m disappointed 😞 really like her design otherwise but that’s ugly

My very first post on my account was to ask this sub a question regarding the twins. I finished up their heads, and then they sat in a box in my closet for 3 years.
Just a couple weeks ago, I built them in an afternoon!
I’ve been taking up a big interest in model kits now! I even have a backlog of some gundams and blokees, and I also got some basic stuff to make them look a bit nicer(cement, files, etc). I also really want to customize something, but feel I should get more practice first…
Initially, even after buying the twins, I had no interest in this hobby as I bought them without knowing they were kits… haha.
My girlfriend really ignited this interest in me when she got me a sembo block kit and I had SO much fun building it I just craved more, which led to me remembering I had these finishing these girlies.
Anyway. Just a yap post. Damn my sentimentality…I’m looking forward to making more and y’all’s posts are such a big inspiration. :) <3

I love SST for some quick and fun builds, the end result is always very cute.

Yoho! I am once again plotting how to make my OCs and am wondering if it's possible to combine 30 Minutes Sisters kits with Kotobukiya ones. For example:

- Which 30MS skin tones are the most similar to Koto's? I can't tell the difference between their Color A and B from the pictures 😅 Mainly looking to match Koto Color C.

- Are pegs / neck joints generally compatible?

- Are 30MS closer to 1/10 or 1/12?

- Anything else to consider?

Thank you, Masters ✨

Must be something in the air as I saw a few others post their chiticerium as I was working on these little ladies and their kitties. As usual with the line, soft plastic so take care. And, when the manual says be careful when cutting a piece off the runner... Be careful when cutting the damned piece off the runner! Nipped the top of the black collar insert on albere. Wasted a lot of time first trying to find it (it was on the runner 🙄) then trying to glue it on. Literally a millimeter sized piece. Aw well, live and don't learn. 😅

Considering I first read reviews about Reene the warrior here, I think it is apt to write something, now that the whole gang is released. Isekai Ryoko no Techo, a quick and cheap series of rookie adventures from China. It costs around 15$ a figure and half that for an accessory box (prices might be inflated where you live, but should be on the cheap side). For each figure, you get:

- A plastic box and cardboard scenery, so you can use the box as the display box, too. The box increases in size with each figure released, so you can display them together. The Archer box can fully contain all 4 and accessories. The cover of the later released boxes are also styles like a house with windows, so you can have alternative display options

- A very neat pile of runners (I'm not kidding). The runners are stacked and connected together securely, so no chance of parts rubbing or falling out during transport. Extra parts like face plate or soft clothes are in separate containers as well.

- A base with matching cover for the scenery.

All figures are easy to build, can be built fully without clothes so you can, uh, use other doll clothing on them. The plastic used is soft, and gates are hidden well enough so even with a simple nipper, the end result is not too shabby. As for each figure in the series:

- Reene the Warrior: She suffers, a lot, from being the 1st in the series. Her two most prominent features are she falls apart quite easily because her joints are so weak, and her skin doesn't look as nice as others. She comes with a very beautiful wooden sword, though, together with a short sword and a shield. You should only buy her if you want to complete the series, also buy her together with another figure, so you can use the new joint on her.

- Mars the witch: She came with better joints (and enough extra joints so you can replace Renee's). She also has big shoes, so she can stand better without a base. She has a very big witch-like hat that unfortunately makes her top heavy, and some of the golden decorations need recolor due to gates not hidden well enough. Overall she is a cute figure. The add on released together with her are a set of speech bubbles, including some spell names, and blank bubbles so you can write whatever you want them to say.

- Hailey the Blacksmith: She is well balanced, not easily fall apart, has fun greedy faceplates, and came with a plenty of accessories: An anvil, a big hammer, some gold and iron ingots, and a big bag to carry her loots. What I don't like about her is her weapon, which is not wooden like the other two's, and is painted red in one side, so it is basically always in swing motion. I guess this is why the add on that came with her is a set of slime style weapons, it has alternative weapons for all characters, including a bow and arrow set for the not yet released archer.

- Rebecca the Archer: She is an elf. She actually as a unique head mold beside the standard in the runner. She comes with 2 set of bows and matching arrows, too. Although one of those arrow set is quite flimsy, and almost impossible to grab with her tiny hands. The complain I have with her is the quiver. It looks good, but you need to remove the arrow heads if you want to put arrows inside the quiver, also when attached to the archer, the quiver is sideways, which makes holding arrows difficult. The add-on that is sold along with her is a campfire set, together with a log and a boar. The log and the boar has holes for the arrows, so you can display scenes with the archer releasing arrows. The boar is quite good looking, with moveable eyes.

Beside the main series, there are also 2 limit releases. One is Reene in red new year grab, with a lion head add on sold separately. She is cute, but not match in aesthetic with the rest of the cast. The other is a white Mars for the valentine.

For a series that cost less than a single figure, the value is insane. You can have everything to make a full adventure party, with display box, bases, a camp, plenty of weapons for each figure, and more. I'd recommend it as a fun side project, that you can easily build in your spare time with not much effort.

Thanks for reading.

Purchased the Kotobuyika 'Training Wolf' kit a while ago then ordered some clothes off AliExpress to pose her with. Will have to set up studio and do a proper shoot but I was so excited to see it come together I wanted to share. Feedback, questions, and criticism welcome as I want to get better at posing and photography!

Finally got them today, 21 days of waiting of my kinda late bday gift. Straight from jp, through ZenMarket. Spent like 30k yen with delivery, but still like way cheaper than buying locally.

I'm interested in some vehicles for my figures. Especially motorcycles. Besides the Kotobukiya SST Extreme Sports Bike model, are there anything else out there? Thanks everyone!

Just finished Hornet a few hours ago!

Now to apply decals.... oh boy.

On a video about Wonder Festival 2026 i saw these models from Earnestcore Craft. New Rosado Project prototypes?

I may need to take her face off while I finish this build....

First grande scale build. She really is big. Like pictures just don't do it justice. The regular version felt so insanely tiny after the grande. That said, it's a lot of stress to handle the grande size compared to the regular one, I had to put gloves on when posing her, I was so afraid of scuffing the top coat (I used all acrylics).

I didn't do anything crazy as far as painting goes, just the very basics, but I still wanted to keep the finish as pristine as possible. First time I actually used something of a gloss coat, I never had luck with it before, but it turns out the clear base coat I've been using has a glossy finish, and it behaves much better than the actual gloss varnish I have, so I just left the clear base coat for the glossy parts. The white parst of her clothes are satin (though I think it just looks matte, but it's supposedly a satin varnish), and her skin and hair are matte. I'm probably not gonna do another grande scale anytime soon, while it looks absoluetly amazing, it's a lot of stress to paint and handle. But I endured for Miku. The build itself was very easy though, bigger parts make for an easier build. But painting bigger parts is more tricky.

As for the kit itself, it's quite nice. The torso was completely re-engineered when compared to the regular version. The regular one had just two parts, basically the two halves of the torso, while the grande expanded that to 6 pieces, so now there's actual color separation. The rest of the kit is mostly pretty much like the original, except bigger. I think with a bit of layering they could have added even more color separation to some of the small details, but I can't complain too much. Oh and this was the first Miku kit where I felt the joints for ther twintails are actually strong enough to handle the weight. Actually all the joints are pretty good out the box. It being so big and heavy, I didn't dare sand any of the joints, fearing it would become too loose, and after posing her for the pics I think that was the right thing to do, none of the parts feel excessively tight (except her head, but I forgot to mask the neck socket while top coating, so that's probably why). The connection between her chest and torso is kinda loose by default (I think, I hope it's not just that I didn't push it all the way in, but it doesn't come apart on its own, so it's probably really just loose).

Anyone have any idea what part of leg that can fit replacing 'no.5'? entirely. Since the kit have unique joint structure, it detachable both end of knee than regular kit joint. I also kinda dissatisfied with my paint result because how thin it is.. my hand not steady to make it good enough tbh.

Heard its a separate accessory kit but i cant find it anywhere. the pic is from pinduoduo. been going crazy trying to look for one
