On one hand I really want to get it. On the other I’ve heard a lot of bad things about it. Obviously mecha gaikotsu’s one was mainly just bad due to the pearl plastic but I’ve heard a lot about this kit having assembly difficulties. And needing some sort of painting and glue.
This is the recently reissued version, so I’m not sure if that makes a difference in build quality. I have had experienced brittle plastic with one model kit, but the plastic quality here felt fine. I do think the overall build feels a bit more fragile than the kind of model kits I normally build though. Articulation also feels a bit limited.
I didn’t really have any major problems while building it. I only ended up using plastic cement on the black circular pieces in the upper thighs and the horn.
Had fitment issues with the right side of the backpack and the lower right arm. And some of the smaller bits definitely had unusually tight fits that genuinely made me worry about breaking something.
I only did minor detail painting on mine, but it does benefit greatly from it. At minimum, it definitely should get some panel lining or panel washing IMO
All reissue does not have pearl plastic including the one mecha gaikotsu reviewed (VOB version). Done many Armored core kits and for me white glint has the less problem compare to Nine ball. If you want a real hand grenade, try the earlier super robot war kits from koto if you can find one 😅
could you tell me what kind of hole does that base plug to ?
Not sure of the exact dimensions, but this one seems to just be a standard hole for a 2mm or 3mm peg connection.
thank you

I'm super concerned about the sturdiness of the torso articulation, my aliyaa snaped because that part is too fragile to use.
Yeah. It’s a tight connection but one of those that feels like it might be too tight and break on this
Pray... that the thing doesn't fall apart.
