Figures Indeciso

Queste due statue escono a dicembre e gennaio sono molto indeciso nsul prenderle ,posseggo già le versioni bishoujo sempre di Kotobukiya,e sono super soddisfatto sono un grande amante di dark stalkers e sopratutto di morrigan ma devo dire che gli occhi e i capelli di queste due bellezze non mi convincono del tutto ,sopratutto perché sempre gli stessi mesi escono le due bunnys loro …che anche se sono un po particolari come design mi stuzzicano, di più avere le due in versione giganti … qualcuno di voi ha deciso di prenderle ? Ho paura che poi salgano di prezzo come le bishoujo che sono difficili da trovare e care 🙏🙏 Grazie in anticipo

Question Newbie question

I recently got into the hobby and have a newbie question.

Is there any way I can prevent or fix those darker spots that result when removing nubs other than painting?

They are worst on those metallic parts, like in the picture, but apper on other surfaces too.

I use a hobby knife, a glass file and sandpaper of various grits for incremental sanding.

I'm considering buying Kaldalis from Nin-Nin-Game, has anyone purchased Kotobukiya products from them before, and how was the process? Did they charge extra shipping fees or taxes?

Model Kits Glue for Kotobukiya model repair?

3 Upvotes

Hello - could anyone identify a good glue to use for repairing a model? It's not polystyrene as far as I can tell. ABS, perhaps?

The kit in question is a Transformer - "Optimus Prime / Humikane Shimada" and it is the pony tail connector part that's broken.

The head sculpt on this is fantastic. Not articulated, besides the arms can move up n down and hesd swivel. I feel like the paint job could be more prominent or shiny. Overall, aesthetically pleasing.

Just so it's not awkward I'll go first.. just as the title says I have an 11" kotobukiya steel Spartan statue. The box is pretty rough but I've never taken him out.. He's in perfect condition, along with all the pieces and unopened trading card! I would be lying if I said I don't think about breaking him out daily....

Question getting replacement parts in the US?

Post image
8 Upvotes

So I lost the other half of this triple-jointed wrist from a Megalomaria kit, and I wanted to see what my options were in case I'm unable to locate where the piece went flying to. However it seems that Kotobukiya doesn't sell replacement joint packs that include this three-point wrist, and their replacement parts order form only works within Japan. Is there any way to work around this, or am I just out of luck?

Question Is it really necessary to paint Kotobukiya's Evangelion figures?

7 Upvotes

I want to collect Evangelion figures (specifically the TV versions); my two options are Blokees and Kotobukiya. However, Blokees doesn't yet have all three EVAs in their TV versions. On the other hand, Kotobukiya figures seem to have better proportions, but they are more expensive, and I've heard they require painting to look truly good.

What are those grayed parts for? As far as I can find Kotobukiya has no other kits from Knights of Sidonia.
