You know, probably should get around to updating the News section. Make mention of the new Hres coming out, the FA Girl Manga and the rumor of Konami taking the Shinki license from Koto.

yes yes, we know, you're underage and think "FAG" is the most hilarious abbreviation ever. can we move on now?

>>6161716
It was speculation. We don't know anything.

>>6161736
>can we move on now?
No

>>6161736
Never

>>6161716
2 threads ago some anon said that Konami had pulled the Shinki license from Kotobukiya because did some collab work with Kojima's company. Koto, meanwhile a bunch of former Shinki guys heading up FA-Girls and Megami Device by using the Machineca body was was a prototype MMS4 body and using the same TV studios Konami used to make the FA-Girl anime because the 2 studios got screwed by Konami. But like >>6161760 said, it's all speculation

>>6161736
>can we move on now?
Are you joking?

>>6161736
I'm absolutely disgusted you even suggested that.

>>6161736
We call them FAGs, cope with the situation.

Funny you say that. I actually just started drawing Device boys earlier.

I think they should be taller. Too much muscle for those proportions.

I just recently learned about these muscuto. Am I SOL until muscuto comes out with new ones for sale, or is it still possible to order some of the regular/non-exclusive ones if I send in an order request?

>>6162448
Well you could just email him, but he's been busy or something. Not much communication coming from him recently other than him saying "SORRY announcements coming soon!" and advertising stuff for WF.

>>6162326

>>6161736
The local distributor for them also calls them FAGs.

Every time I visit they know its for FAG Preorders so they call me the FAG guy.

Taking a cute girl then adding a penis and calling it a boy is the modern trap construction method though, he's right. Most of the girls are flat enough to pull it off too.

>>6163284
most brands seemed to have some for sale. It's usually called something like "color-shifting" or "multi color change" rather than "iridescent" and it's applied on a black base.

So my Taobao order came in recently, and I know some anon was asking about the face recasts, so I'm gonna toss some words out about that.

-The nude body that's up there is very nice, the painting and sculpting are really well done, with some slight variation. I bought two, and it's a very ymmv situation, since it's just someone making them in China. Possible problems include: the neck joint may be shaved too closely for the head to stay on, the sprue that the legs are put on may be very tight, or some mild painting errors, but these are probably solvable with putty and sanding, respectively.

-The faceplate casts without eye indentations are very high quality, they feel and look almost identical to the actual plastic from the kits, with some very slight imperfections. They are also packaged and presented well, overall they justify the higher prices that they're listed for on Taobao. My only complaint is that smiling or laughing faces aren't offered by the seller.

-The faceplates with the eye indentations are lower quality, they feel slippery and are not the right skin color OOB, so they'll require paint (FA:G paint soon though so). They still fit snugly into place, and the fact that happy faces are an option makes them worth it to me. If the eye indentations really don't work out, I may try putty+painting to smooth them out.

>>6163502
Forgot to mention, all of the products (2 nude bodies, 2 of the eyeless faces and 10 of the eyed faces) with shipping and processing and handling and fees and all that came to about 70 dollars.

>>6161433
I messaged VOLKS about their 1/12 girl and they actually got back to me

"We are expecting to announce more information regarding her in our next company magazine (VOLKS NEWS 72) and social media soon!"

Mine has a very worrying crack right at the weakest point of the pelvis where the sprue is jammed in. Shoulder sockets are loose, sprue is too tight and the head joint isn't shaven properly.

The pelvis is the only part I'm worried about though

>>6163541
Which link do you need? There are different sellers for each item (I'm not the anon who posted it before)

>>6163607
That pelvis part is pretty worrisome, for sure. Have you tried anything to fix/secure it?

Thank you to both of you.
I was wondering if it was worth to add those links in the OP for future reference.

>>6163529

Tell me more if you know any more. Is this the first of this line or are there others similar?

>>6163873
Just hopping in here, but I'd like to see both of those in the guide. I can bookmark them, but others will want to know too.

>>6163923
From what I can tell, this is the first girl from VOLKS' Vlocker's line (also with a name like Prime-chan that checks out to me), they've mostly stuck to their own brand of plastic multipart robots. Some anons have chimed in that their plastic/design integrity isn't the best, but I'm definitely into these 1/12 scale girl kits, so if I can find one when they release I'll take a chance on it.

As for similar products from non-volks companies, Aoshima showed designs and later, a prototype for a Macross girl kit, google "Macross Valkyrie Girl Model Kit Concept" (if I wasn't on mobile I'd link), so hopefully something comes of that later in 2017.

If you're into her because pigtails, Koto teased a design back in 2016 with boofy pigtails, google "kotobukiya byakko girl," they've shown a prototype of the robot but not the girl, so here's hoping we see more about that in 2017 as well.

Thas' all I know on those

PSA: the Baselard Extend Arms set does not actually include this green bit on the hat. It's not in the instructions, there's no sprue for it, and even the promotional picture on Hobby Search is a piece of blue opaque plastic instead of translucent green.

>>6164036
>translucent
In the pic you posted, it looks to be painted metallic

Have to say, I may actually end up picking up a second set of these. The improvements they made over Sylphy make it so much better.

I really hope they do a Sylphy mk 2 or something down the line, cause I really like Sylphy more visually, but everything else, the Houndbreeds have it much better.

Having had a chance to assemble my Scout/Assault girl, one thing stands out: She's so LIGHT compared to the traditional MMS1/3 shinkis.

Thinking of giving my Oorbellen's second head a Megami D body tho.

They're basically MMS4, whereas FAG bodies are not quite as overengineered and could still use some more joint upgrades.

>>6164779
Because fags are more aesthetic

Did you use a proxy or does the seller ship internationally?

>>6165843
He probably used a proxy, but taobao has a built in forwarding service now that's not all that difficult to use. Google should help.

>>6165858
Last time I tried making a taobao order like that, I gave up and just went with a proxy after trying to figure our how to link my alipay account with my bank/paypal/whatever.

>>6165902
They take credit cards. Certainly took mine at least.

>>6165919
Taobao linked me straight to signing up with alipay when I registered. I couldn't find anything for credit card.

>>6165858
I think I figured out the forwarding service using google translate. Hopefully, I have 3 nude FA: G bodies on the way soon. Thanks!

That said there are a few things you need to be aware of, like the bottoms of the feet and t-joints of the hips being a bit fragile. You want to reinforce those with pins or something.

I took some photos today for a tutorial for pinning the T-joint, I just need to get around to editing it. Will be up soon. Maybe tomorrow.

>>6169839
good shit

>>6169839
Thanks, definitely gonna try this out.

I used a cut-up polycap runner t-joint for my Oorbellen's MMS4 hip joint. Seems to work just fine, and it's even a little bit flexible.

>>6169839
Lacking a pin vice, could it work to heat up the pin itself and having it melt trough the plastic?

>>6170090
Get a pin vise.

>>6170090
no, the plastic is too long and narrow, you would end up either warping the plastic, turning it brittle, and/or not getting anywhere at all.

pin vice is affordable, safer, and more controlled.

>>6170096
>>6170106
I've been looking into it, but pin vices seem to just no exist around here. There's not even a word in the language for this type of tool. I have to jump trough so many hoops to import stuff, buying a pin vise will have to wait until I can batch with something else down the line.
Guess I'll just have to see what I can jigger when I actually get the kit.

>>6170113
Alternative tools would be something like a very small precision drill of some kind. Try one of those model kit stores (or Gunpla stores if you stay in Asia).

>>6170113
it is basically a vise that holds tiny drill bits and pins and can function like a small hand drill. I suggest printing out photos of a couple of pin vises and showing them to the shop empolyees and see what happens.

But don't hold out much hope, I went to a Home Depot and a Lowes to see if they had any and got no results except for an old man at Lowes immediately knowing what I was describing and confirming they use to sell them but not anymore. So most hardware places may not carry them for you.

Oh something that really doesn't exist anymore these days? At least they don't in my area. Every radioshack within distance is now some kind kind of cellphone carrier store.

But I did end up getting one from amazon to buffer up a package over the free shipping requirement back during christmas shoppings. I was just recounting my own experiences trying to find such a thing at typical local stores.

They still exist, they just aren't as numerous as they were. A hardware or an even more elusive hobby store might well have worked for one too.

It really is interesting how much more difficult brick and mortar stores are getting to work with for one off items like this though.

>>6170113
how can you get a megami device, but not a pin vice? am I missing something here?

>>6170232
Oh I certainly could have gotten it at a hobby store. problem was that I wasn't heading in that direction for anything anytime soon, so why waste gas money for just that one item? The Lowes and Home Depot were primarily visits for stuff like lumber and mulch.

>>6170143
Saving this for a Gore Thread

>>6170235
Yeah, I thought the same. Harbor Freight has a few obscure things the big box hardware stores don't carry, so there's a possibility there, but I just kind of rigged my own pin vice a long time ago with an Xacto knife handle and some drill bits for a dremel.

>>6170256
Damn that is actually pretty clever. Exacto knives pretty much are pin vises more or less, just a bit weaker.

>>6170113
Just buy one from amazon. Pin vises aren't some rare tool no one uses or anything, christ.

>>6170235
Since it's such a pain in the ass to import things, I always bulk them up to get only one or two packages a year. And the latest package with like 10 kits, blue stuff and other random shit is already in the mail. It's just not worthy my and my proxy friend's time and effort to get just a pin vice.

>>6170265
Yeah, I had to roll the shaft of the bit in some hot glue, let it cure fully, then it helped keep it from slipping in the handle. Had to unscrew the collar and collet completely to put the bit in, but it worked in a pinch.

>>6170275
Where do you live that you have trouble finding a relatively simple tool? I remember a story about an Argentina-anon having to warehouse as much as they could before importing because their customs were strict as to how many packages they allowed (idk how true it is), so I can sorta understand you hoarding up your orders if that's the case.

>Where do you live that you have trouble finding a relatively simple tool?
Argentina, actually. There isn't even a spanish term for it, as the closest thing I could find is a years old post in a translation forum about what to call it. Even family members who work at a hardware store have never seen one. I never really realized how odd it was I'd never seen one irl until just now.
I'll probably just end up bullshiting up a handle for the removable head of my dremel.

And yeah, import limitations in Argentina are savage. As of last year, maximum 2 packages in a calendar year, the combined value of which (shipping included) couldn't go over 100 US$. And it involved a bunch of paperwork and you have to pick it up personally at a customs office, which for me is 500km away. It's a mess. So now I just buy things with a european friend's address and have them send it back to me marked as gift so it bypasses all import regulations.

>>6170316
I'd suggest not trying that. Get the right tool for the job, don't risk screwing things up by trying to MacGuyver something.

If you'd like I can get one and send it to you, provided you pay for it. Pin vises are small and weight very little so I could probably ship it to you for under 15 usd.

>>6170316
Have you tried asking for a "hand drill"?

>>6170316
>As of last year, maximum 2 packages in a calendar year

Spaniard here. I didn't know the spanish name for pin vice either, but I just went to a hobby shop, gave them a description of the thing and sure enough they had it. If there are shops that sell model kits where you live just try that.
