The parts that are loose actually needs to be glued. There should be a logo in the manual that looks like a brush applying cement on a piece to indicate that the part needs gluing. Basically these aren't entirely pure snap-fit, cement is required though not a lot
I want a koto girl so bad, but they are so expensive and even rare, whenever the ones I liked get stocked, either im broke or they are sold when Im close my eyes for just a sec lol. This versions look so cool thank you zach for the review.
Toy Man 1976 it took me around 3 after work nights to build her. Not too long and tedious. I do intend to paint mine but I'm still torn on whether I wanna get the other Sol Device kit...
The usual problem I've seen for these kits would be the wrist joints and waist joint which is why lately they've included extras. Also I recommend giving the unarmored one a MSG add on to make it less plain
Seeing the Sol Hornet Review made me wanna buy a WISM Assault/Scout I already have the WISM Snipe/Grapple they're both good like the Hornet and Road Runner too same Articulation but the bonus is you have 4 Variations
Sorry Zach. This may be an OT question but since you did quite a bit of shopping in Japan wonder if you know. You know all those advertising posters in shops about Anime, DVD, Gunpla releases, is there a proper channel to buy them in Japan please? TIA.
Hi! Some shops like Mandarake do sell second-hand posters. but I don't think I've seen any of the type you're talking about. possible you might find one of the Ver.Ka box art posters or something maybe~ you'd just have to check
PrimusVsUnicron it beats the tradition. If you want prepainted kit at the same price range as these koto kits then you'll have to consider the Takashi nation gundam figures.
Ok just to let you know if you combine the SOL (Sonic Operative Lady) Hornet and Road Runner "armor" on one of the girls then it become "full armor mode". It even say it in English on the front of the box it was annoying the hell out of me on both the unboxing and the review.
RamzaJinnRuu right. And as I said in the unboxing I’m completely unfamiliar with the source material so you’ll have to forgive me. I’m more concerned with the performance of the model kit than the exact wording.
Megami Devices 1+2, 3+4, 5+6, and so forth can combine armor sets to be a "super" mode and the more Megami Devices you have the more you can customize them since all of Kotobukiya kits (FA, FA:G, Hexa, etc etc) use the same size holds. That one of the reasons I like their kit lines.
just like with the Frame Arms Girl kits the only thing preventing me from buying these kits is that all of the characters are super skinny and as a result look kind of ugly. right now the only one I'd consider getting is the Asra Ninja.
I've heard that Kotobukiya is gonna make a Frame Arms Girl kit of the Type 48, the artwork looked like it had a thicker body. but sadly I can't find that image anymore.
I do have one issue with these over the frame arms girls and that's the "full armor" gimic. The frame arms girls just feel more like a complete pacage. I haven't gotten this pair because you basically end up with one fully armed girl and one with hardly anything. It kinda works for ninja and archer since a ninja doesn't usually conger the image of a walking tank but... I mean they all look fine with just their half of the armor but the full armor modes look more intresting... Anyway, tldr, kinda wish they just had armor add-ons so you could have both fully armed up, or have one fully armored if you don't like one of the girls' designs
What would be the point? It would only hinder movement add unneeded weight, and it's not like you would want to do an open hatch maitnance build with these unless you're in to body mutalation... there's not much room inside anyway since their relatively slim
They are already expensive at the size they are, if they were bigger with a pointless innerframe they would easily top 100 bucks a piece. On a robot yes for the love of god give me an inner frame but on a figure that is presumably flesh and bone it's pointless because you wouldn't need it cause a body doesn't have gears and pistons and you won't see it unless you were damaging what would be the girl's body hence the mutilation
its just me, or the model kit looks rather small compared to a frame arms girl? Anyway, thanks to your videos i got into Frame arms girls, looking forward for more
seem perfect to me, i have : -figma archetype female, -FAgirl innocentia, - Megami device sol hornet, i can say megami device is most perfect proportion one for anime drawing reference, I dare you to compare it yourself -FAgirl is the one that have longer torso and limbs that youre talking about, -Figma articulation is a bit short that megami device, and the head is small just like irl human, not suitable for anime drawing pose, i kid you not, it have the same proportion as this Sol Hornet, except the head -Megami device is just perfect, not too long, not too short. the knee bend 180 and the ability to sitting cross-legged or "wariza or Seiza" sitting is just a must buy for me i still havent touch any gundam girl tho , it look horrible, both articulation and proportion

![1575 - Megami Device Sol Road Runner [Low Visibility] Review](/img/tr.png)
her helmet design combined with the color scheme of this version reminded me of the Union Flag along with its variants from Gundam 00.
Vust Valeo I was thinking the same thing
With the bottom half of the helmet on the chest it looks like an Enact too.
Well, funny thing is...the mecha parts of this kit is actually designed by Takayuki Yanase which also designed some mech in 00 series
that faceplate on the chest makes me think of deadspace suits
14:12 Draw me like one of your frame arms girls
The parts that are loose actually needs to be glued. There should be a logo in the manual that looks like a brush applying cement on a piece to indicate that the part needs gluing. Basically these aren't entirely pure snap-fit, cement is required though not a lot
so abs cement?
yikes
4:47 the instruction do tell to glue for stronger connection, in case you miss it there is a logo/icon tell you to glue it
Yeah I know ^^ just don’t like to glue anything before a review
ohh :D
ive got the standard hornet and road runner seeing the pink and blue hair kind of makes me wish ig these but i guess i can paint them
Nice review, i was waiting to see one of them by you.
I want a koto girl so bad, but they are so expensive and even rare, whenever the ones I liked get stocked, either im broke or they are sold when Im close my eyes for just a sec lol. This versions look so cool thank you zach for the review.
any luck?
That smiling face plate hahaha its soo cute. I still haven't bought any megami device kit but i do have 3 F.A.G. kits
Can't unsee the blue kermit the frog on the back
I have both the Sol Hornet and Sol roadrunner and and I recommend them highly to anyone who wants to build these kits
well if they didn't want them why would you recommend them?
That lower part of the mask connected to the top of her chest reminds me of Eva Unit 6.
Great review bro!!! How long did she take to build?
Toy Man 1976 it took me around 3 after work nights to build her. Not too long and tedious. I do intend to paint mine but I'm still torn on whether I wanna get the other Sol Device kit...
Yeah while these kits are kind of intricate they don’t take too long to build
I wish I could get my hands on one of these kits
Her battle mask piece being on her chest reminded me of Dead Space's R.I.G.
The usual problem I've seen for these kits would be the wrist joints and waist joint which is why lately they've included extras. Also I recommend giving the unarmored one a MSG add on to make it less plain
Good idea!
Seeing the Sol Hornet Review made me wanna buy a WISM Assault/Scout I already have the WISM Snipe/Grapple they're both good like the Hornet and Road Runner too same Articulation but the bonus is you have 4 Variations
I'm sorry if this was answered before, but are you planning to get the Aoshima's Variable Fighter Girl Siegfried?
Probably not. But it does look interesting
Can’t find the kit on the site.
Ken Mitchell they don’t have this particular kit
i gotta ask zaku. are you gonna re paint the faceplates on these kits or are you keeping them unchanged?
Dunno. I prefer the more tan skin of the Road Runner, so May paint this one~
Any update on the shirt contest?
Next video!
ZakuAurelius awesome thanks for the quick reply!
I WANT THIS!!!
When will we get a trap MD?
That would be genius!
Does it have the same scale as frame arms girls? Can you kit bash the arms and legs?
no, these are smaller (watch my review of the Sol Road Runner)
ZakuAurelius thanks, good to know.
Can you mesh the chest piece with the helmet visor?
You might be able to get them connected but it’ll probably look very odd
I just notice that Megami Device SOL Strike Raptor is only Hornet + Runner equipment version LoL
Sorry Zach. This may be an OT question but since you did quite a bit of shopping in Japan wonder if you know.
You know all those advertising posters in shops about Anime, DVD, Gunpla releases, is there a proper channel to buy them in Japan please? TIA.

ZakuAurelius thanks. I did find 2 shops at Akiharbara did have some before but noth a lot. Thanks for the suggestion.
How it the size compared to frame arm girls? I know it's 1:1 scale, but what does it even mean??
Nice
Megami Device and FA Girl can be comparable to MGs in build and gimmicks, in some ways at least. Lots of detail and possibilities too.
BNuts No. More like RG.
nah
a clear handle is a lot better than say the old hg toothpicks
next video for Road Runner , do show you can replace the head with FAgirl Stylet head XD
It looks like a nice kit though color separation would be nice, i cant stand those crotch to leg space but it looks nice.
That smiley face looks so creepy o.O
Asra Ninja and Asra Archer pls. :)
I’m getting the Aoi versions when those come out in a few months
Pewdiepie got your gundam it's on the back in the video so sick!!!!
Wish all Gunpla kits came prepainted instead of stickers
PrimusVsUnicron it beats the tradition. If you want prepainted kit at the same price range as these koto kits then you'll have to consider the Takashi nation gundam figures.
The Y runner is POM, not a regular plastic that's made to be more durable than the regular joint pieces.
Ok just to let you know if you combine the SOL (Sonic Operative Lady) Hornet and Road Runner "armor" on one of the girls then it become "full armor mode". It even say it in English on the front of the box it was annoying the hell out of me on both the unboxing and the review.

“Maybe one more head option would be nice"
Bandai mecha musume don't even have the face changing option LMAO
Lol right?
叶川ヒロ The Armored Girls Project stuff totally does though?
Are the same expressions included as water slides?i want to paint it in a darker skin tone
The mouth is molded in so you just have to repaint them, only decals for the eyes are included.
The helmet is nice and as expected pretty cute
How do you get this version exactly, is it exclusive?
sean choy its a Kotobukiya web shop exclusive
I was able to get it here in Korea.
*sees the smile* KILL IT WITH FIRE!
just like with the Frame Arms Girl kits the only thing preventing me from buying these kits is that all of the characters are super skinny and as a result look kind of ugly. right now the only one I'd consider getting is the Asra Ninja.
Yeah it’s odd they haven’t made a thicker girl yet
I've heard that Kotobukiya is gonna make a Frame Arms Girl kit of the Type 48, the artwork looked like it had a thicker body. but sadly I can't find that image anymore.
actually just found the image. i.imgur.com/hVFageZ.jpg
oh yeah I forgot that Type 48 was announced! That'll be awesome
she looks like a Waifu of Genji.
I do have one issue with these over the frame arms girls and that's the "full armor" gimic. The frame arms girls just feel more like a complete pacage. I haven't gotten this pair because you basically end up with one fully armed girl and one with hardly anything.

Will N I wish they had inner frame, I am not fan of the idea of hollow human figure ....
What would be the point? It would only hinder movement add unneeded weight, and it's not like you would want to do an open hatch maitnance build with these unless you're in to body mutalation... there's not much room inside anyway since their relatively slim
Will N They can make them a bit bigger and how you went to body mutilation?!
They are already expensive at the size they are, if they were bigger with a pointless innerframe they would easily top 100 bucks a piece.
On a robot yes for the love of god give me an inner frame but on a figure that is presumably flesh and bone it's pointless because you wouldn't need it cause a body doesn't have gears and pistons and you won't see it unless you were damaging what would be the girl's body hence the mutilation
Will N No, you sicko. Inner farme to make more sturdier and feel like an action figure.
-> Learns that UsaGundamStore sells frame arms girls and megami device
-> Everything is out of stock
Typical
Follow them on social media and look out for that restock!
its just me, or the model kit looks rather small compared to a frame arms girl? Anyway, thanks to your videos i got into Frame arms girls, looking forward for more
Freddy Morales Frame Arm Girls are about 1/10 scale of humans, Megami Device are 1/12 scale but with much better articulation and diverse designs.
then ill have to buy one
Weird proportions
which part? the slightly big anime head ? or it just your imagination?
Reuizi the long torso and short arms
seem perfect to me, i have :
-figma archetype female,
-FAgirl innocentia,
- Megami device sol hornet,
i can say megami device is most perfect proportion one for anime drawing reference, I dare you to compare it yourself
-FAgirl is the one that have longer torso and limbs that youre talking about,
-Figma articulation is a bit short that megami device, and the head is small just like irl human, not suitable for anime drawing pose, i kid you not, it have the same proportion as this Sol Hornet, except the head
-Megami device is just perfect, not too long, not too short. the knee bend 180 and the ability to sitting cross-legged or "wariza or Seiza" sitting is just a must buy for me
i still havent touch any gundam girl tho , it look horrible, both articulation and proportion
Mulambo It just seems like that due to the bent arms pose and you can positioned the shoulders up and down.
Reuizi Not to mention Figmas are ridiculously fragile and have QC issues as well being very overpriced.
