Anyone have these?
Are they good toys? The mecha designs are interesting.
How are these diffrent from gunpla?
I had the two gold ones, which I believe were Gaia and Saturn. For the 300 yen i paid for each after a sale, they were worth it.
They're made of a very, very soft plastic, seeing as how they have to be to facilitate the gimmick. You buy them as a Frame, then you snip all the individual pieces apart. Then, since all the pieces have pegs and holes all over them, you can plug them back together their frame mode, which looks, unsurprisingly, like a model kit frame.
Aside from molded-in detail, a lot of which is missing due to hollow parts, the coloured details comes 100% from stickers, some of which have to go over some awkward surfaces. The biggest offender of that are the round, Planet parts in the chest of the guys. Those stickers are a bitch.
All of the joints are plastic on plastic, instead of any polycaps being involved. For a super-cheap line, they're alright. I don't have the two I had anymore, but that's mostly because I didn't find myself doing much with them, not because I thought they weren't worth it or anything.
Don't go in expecting too much and you should be fine.

Thanks! Got a couple from a sale.
I'm surprised by how small they are.
Not a fan of the stickers.
They really are worth it for the sale price.
They are the perfect gifts for snapfags because you can disassemble and snap them back into a frame. INFINITE SNAPFITTING

i got one off HLJ for like 2 bucks. not a plamo fan, but theyre a pretty neat gimmick with that whole "fold and build" thing going on, none of that "get part 21 from sprue Z" shit
I've gotten them as they came out, they're kinda like plastic crack. Easy to fiddle with, there's a bunch of ways to combine and customize them on the website. The three "beastformers" that came out are pretty damned cool, but sadly it looks like they've discontinued the line already after them
