Posting some stuff I received from mah parentals. Rawrs.
ALTEISEN RIESE MOTHAFUCKAZ!!!!!
Comparison with my 1/100 Alteisen (the Riese is 1/144)
It looks so fucking sexy.
Uuuuughhhhhhh yeahhhhhh.
Kits that are not ACs seem to be a lot more sturdy and structurally sound. lelz.
All parts are snug and fit, it's easy to pose (you just have to take into account the weight of the backpack), you don't really have to paint it for it to look sexy and it LOOKS
SO
SEXAAAAY.
:I
Only irk is that I needed to use mighty bond to stick the parts of the head together because they had horrible fitting issues (dammit Kotobukiya).
12/10 (Yeah I like the Alteisen/Alteisen Riese. Sue me :I)
Lastly, 1/144 Shiranui Second Yuuya Bridges Ki (It said KI on the box, dunno if it was supposed to be KAI or what but eh)
This one's probably one of the most recent kits I've made from Kotobukiya. Couldn't resist XD
The entire kit is pretty damn sturdy. Easy to pose. No lose bits. It's entire armament can be mounted and stored on it. The only lose bit are the Swords, that might come off during some posing/imagined fight scenes but the way they're designed (curved handle) usually stops it from falling all the way out.
As for the color, it's a lot more obvious that it isn't painted compared to the Riese, but since the Shiranui is mostly white anyway it didn't bother me. Also it's the smallest Kotobukiya kit I've come across, despite the large box it came in (all dem frame parts)
8/10
Das all o3o
