Desktop Army

The main figure is painted but the weapons and stuff are all molded in single color plastic.

The parts that are painted are well painted, but mine honestly falls apart easily. I don't know if I just got one with bad QC, but limbs pop off a lot when I repose her.

They fall apart easily, at least my batch does, also the stand doesn't work for some of the set ups, and considering how small their feet are, it sucks quite a bit, other than that they're fine, honestly, if you like how they look, you'll probably won't be disappointed.

>>6020802

shinki thread would be where they go, if you're looking for a general.

That's how they all are. Japanese buyers are outright drilling holes in them and replacing the balljoints with hobbybase joints.

ah too bad

I bought one, of course I opened the box and got the worst fucking one (top left corner, literally has nothing, look at how cool the other ones look)

Oh well...yea it is kind of cute but yeah, you can barely move it around without it falling apart. I say, fuck it.

They should make a Hatsune Miku themed version

Why? The whole point of the line is customize your toys.

I'd say if you really like how they look, you should get a single one first to get your feet wet on the line. Mandarake and Rakuten sellers have them for around MSRP and they even tell you which one you'll get. The only downside is you only get one face (looking left, front or right) in each box.
Megahouse seems to want to keep it around for a while. There's new releases and restocks down the line. So supply shouldn't be an issue.
Honestly they're not that good for the price, like others said the joint system isn't the best and they're incredibly tiny, gachapon sized even, so getting a full box of 6 is kinda overkill.
Still I love mine and I'm considering giving her hobby base joints. And custom faces, if I can find them

Twitter is full of customization options.
This guy used an Obitsu 6mm joint for the neck plus what I think is a 5mm polycap.

Another custom using revoltech joints. Most joints require a bit of drilling to fit better

This one got me. But it looks bootylicious

>>6028289
>>6028303
Is that the actual quality, that looks like a cheap nendo bootleg.
How much do they cost?

>>6028406
Like 1500 yen each.

They're only 8mm tall, dude, there's only so much detail you can put out at that size

Wait, that should be 80mm not 8
Guess I'm retarded

>>6028262

I cant seem to find them in Rakuten.

Someone has a link?

And in Mandarake, how do I search them (the romanji I mean?

>>6028420
yeah that's a nendo bootleg price, that would explain the quality

>>6028853
Their not supposed to be bootleg nendos, the name is literally desktop army. You're supposed to troop build them.

Wow, the line must be pretty popular. The book sold out.

>>6028639
If they were 8 mms tall and with that level of detail, it would have meant Megahouse has defied some law of physics probably.

>>6028908
>probably super limited number
>whoa sold out

>>6029550
Not sure what world you live in where something selling out isn't a good indication of success or popularity.

>>6030391
so everyone is OK with this quality, not even revoltechs look this bad, it looks like 3D printed

>>6030742
because it is 3dprinted

>>6030742
They're blind boxed trading figures that cost $5 each, what are you expecting out of them?

I miss these even though the last wave came out not too long ago. Pictured is the first wave which had pretty shitty packouts. I like the purple one but I didn't need 7 of the bastards.

>japs need to replace the joints
I guess no one told them about super glue or nail polish.

>>6028656
I'm also having trouble. Easy enough to find boxes on the usual sites but I can't find singles anywhere because I'm a baka gaijin

Thanks! But at 3 for $20 each I may be better off buying a whole set. Could always resell the extras on bst

>>6031491

It's not just a loose joint problem, baka gaijin.

The joints are single pieces with no moving parts. Posing is somewhat limited. Also doesn't help that the socket doesn't hold the peg ball very securely so things keep falling off.

The additional weapons are mostly useless for play in that regard. Move em and they drop.

I got the scout from manda for ¥800 and I don't feel it was worth it. I was expecting a little robo girl I could fiddle around with at my work desk. But it's so flimsy that without HEAVY mods it's mostly a pose-and-leave-it kind of figure.

The rerelease of Sylphy fixes the loose joint problem.

Also, new wave incoming

>>6034318
How can one tell if they're ordering the rereleased version?

>>6034177
Do I use sal or ems shipping?

>>6034606
Do you want your toy in the next month? EMS.

Hlj was having a sale on them earlier so i grabbed one. I'll see if I can assemble it tonight to verify.

>Buy off Toy Santa
>waiting now

I need my goddam fix. Also anyone remember Pasha Yome? It was something similar to this that Bandai released in 2008 most likely in reaction to busou shinki, same height but no joints, just arm swivels and a head rotation. I have a few, gonna dig out later and compare with this

>>6036371
When did you order? Toysanta packages arrive faster than any of the other jap stores' I've bought from (using SAL eveytime as a true poorfag)

>>6037139
2008 lolp trust me i knownthings j lived in asia for a long time. Anoni love you.. ._. 7 years lTe..

I was really on board with these when they were first announced because of the designer that was making them. When I got them in hand, they were super fiddly and fall apart really easy. The lack of paint vs the advertised pictures was very disappointing too.

In the end I only opened 3 blind boxes before deciding that I really couldn't take them falling apart all the time and I didn't have time to mod them.

imo not worth it unless you have the time to put into them.

>>6028908
To my knowledge the book never sold out, there were printing problems and it was never released, they went over it on the main site. That was a handful of months ago though.

The hyper-extension in the elbow on the middle bottom one bugs me.

>>6040441
They fixed the joint issues with the rerelease.

The original publisher, Novelize, actually went out of business the month the book was originally due to release. Several months later a different publisher picked it up and it's now sold out on amiami.

>>6020802
What are they called and how much? They look pretty cure
