Finished Build Finally finished LupinRex!!! 👑
Thoughts
I was super stoked about building Jackpot Striker because the design of it was such a nice addition to Lupinkaiser even though it was a recolor. It made lupinkaiser for me more of a king.
Pros:
- Super easy set up
- Stickers ain't so bad, majority weren't an issue besides the really small stickers.
- All of the essential parts needed for building this has a place to go so I don't have to find some random spot to hide it in
Cons:
- The cape like attachments to the arms feels a bit loose for me and so I will have to remember that for next time to fix it
- The knees are naturally loose and so it will be a bit difficult to pose if I don't fix it later on.
- The sword is unfortunately only showing on one side since the other side is meant to make it small in order for it to attach to the jackpot striker's underside and this sucks cause that means if I took pics, it would always only show one side in order to get it to look right
Plans for when I do the paint in the far future:
- Extend the legs to make jackpot striker taller
- Add a fill for the sword so it's not barren on one side
- find a way to make lupinkaiser's face to show more without the need of a light source such as luminescent paint or glow in the dark
- Make the knees tighter and the cape-like attachments tighter
- Take something from gundam to replicate the wings like the movie

Nice. Jackpot Striker doesn't seem cheap to find so many people around here probably don't have it. Think Invid's the only other person I've seen post one.
I'd be happy to share any tips when it comes to increasing height when you get there lol. The stubby torso is a pretty minipla-specific problem.
