RAcaseal Shino Plastic Model

[Aumi]

(I hope it is alright to post this here and that this is the appropriate section, please let me know if either isn't the case.)

Kotobukiya's Plastic Model of Shino is finally open for pre-order with some good images. Figures of Phantasy Star characters are rare, especially good ones, so I wanted to make people aware in case anyone is interested.

She can be pre-ordered here: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10151827

I'll definitely get her, even though these models are a pain to assemble. I do hope that this one has all that gradual colouring in place, even if it's only base colours, as was the case with Elenor.

Oh, and in case anyone missed it, there's also a similar model of Elenor Camuel (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10138054), Doctor Montague's pink RAcaseal.

EDIT: Not sure whether the stand will be included, as there wasn't one with Elenor. I might also have to warn people that some parts may be a bit fragile, as one part of my Elenor model is broken, although I'll probably be able to fix it. It was my own fault though, as I overstretched it while trying to pose the figure...

Hey, that's pretty cool. I like it. They don't have a FOnewearl now do they?

O.O Okay, so now there are TWO RAcaseal figures I have to get soon!

The Elenor figure wasn't hard to assemble for me, but I'm used to building kits. However, I would advise anyone getting these kits to invest in some poly cement (plastic glue), Some parts don't fit brilliantly- on my Elenor I have glued the torso sections together because they kept separating whenever I moved one of her arms.

Also if this is anything like the Elenor kit, the weapons will NOT be painted. Just a warning for anyone interested, if you want them to look like the box photos you will need to paint bits. The plastic is colour coded (Elenor's body is pink plastic for example), but any highlights you will need to add yourself.

The Elenor kit also came with a badge for every Section ID (decals), so don't worry about having to paint that.

Thanks for the tip. I'm not sure when I'll be getting these, but hopefully within the next few paychecks.
