So, I'm not sure if you caught my other comment, Gai, but the Blue Bandai logo is actually a sister to the main Bandai team called Bandai Spirits. It's a new sister company that Bandai created for the specific purpose of creating and mastering their Action Figure and Model Kit lines, using the blue logo to differentiate themselves. So the Red logo still exists, it just won't be on the model kits any longer, and from the looks of it they made the right choice to have a group SPECIFICALLY dedicated to the models and figures because both the ones they released under the Spirits company have been fantastic, and I'm sure you agree.
The nippers work??? Wow didn't expect that at all. I'll get this to support bandai for actually doing right with this kit. Also seems to be a great base for mecha musume customs
So her scale is smaller than the previous MS Girl kits. Dang Bandai made a great decision on Diver Nami and I swear if they should redo the previous MS Girls they should use the Figure-Rise Standard brand instead.
lester_2020 if this sells well they definitely will do all future girl characters using this line. Although I hiiighly doubt they'll just abandon HG fumina though. At least in the near future
Her size is spot on to other Kotobukiya girl kits, so happy it evens out any HG kits side by side... all they have to do now is a better figurise versions of the HG girls. The older HG girls feels like big Square-Enix's Play Arts in size (for example... FF VII figures) Big horrors at the end segment i almost spilled my drink hahaha!
Wow, color me surprised! Guess the Shinto Priest division at Bandai finally exorcised all the demons in the Gundam Girl department and decided to rebrand for the new, non-Satanic kit! Might actually get one-JESUS THAT SCREAMER AT ME END GOT ME WHILE I WAS READING COMMENTS.
"kotobukiya killer" less colour separation. Stickers for days. less articulated. Less parts hollow parts Square holding hand pegs. Horrific face. Only thing thats better is that its cheaper.
Dont forget the inferior low-durability thin PS joints instead of superior THICC ABS and STURDY POM joints, the lack of tamopograph printed faceplates, the awkward body proportions due to compromising on plamo tech using existing gunpla tech (instead of replacing soft polycaps with superior ABS parts and completely reengineering the joints and body construction going from Frame Arms to Frame Arms Girls), and the inferior hips and thighs construction.
In all honesty, koto kits use cheap plastics, bad joints, parts keeps on popping out, the risk of buying a prototype. With the figurise standar, you could paint the face and parts to fix the inaccurate colors. Also, no extra parts, it's cheap.
@@vie3147 Cheap plastics? ABS and POM aren't cheap, and they switched to a new blend of PVC that doesn't seem to leak recently. Bad Joints? Well I'll give you that for the older kits, the newer ones have long surpassed bandai with POM and ABS structural improvements.
So a bit of a nit pick here, but I really wish they would have the eyes pre-painted. I'm horrible when it comes to laying out stickers on my Gundam, and knowing I'd have to risk messing up the eyes just kind of kills it for me.
I'd be willing to pay that extra money. To me, the eyes are one of the most important parts of a figure. It gives them personality. Screw that up and it looks generic and boring.
Bandai spirits pretty much exorcised any demonic fuckery from this gundam girl. Figurise standard really saved this thing. Well almost. Its not a gundam girl kit if it cant pull a regan.
Gahald Mills Not yet but Bandai got to start somewhere right just like Frame Arms kits being inferior to RG kits. They gotta start somewhere and keep improving their line of kits. The only winner here is us, the customer.
Guess there should be a kit for all the anthropomorphize-d all gundams as gundam ladies! I've seen some great fan art and the saber styled wing gundam that looks glorious! Heck they should remake the Fumina kits and maybe even make an Qubeley Aila or a Aila Sazabi in this format and maybe make a Gerbera Kirara. They need to get serious about this line if they want better sales outta this given that there is a market for this~
I will never not laugh at the demonic gunpla girls of the past. I'm always entertained by their appearances. I am really digging Diver Nami. I can't wait to scoop her up. I'm glad that Bandai really stepped up their quality game with them. It's got me feeling more excited for the upcoming Sarah figure and later Ayame.
I just have to disagree on one thing, megami device are definitely superior engineering wise over the other girl kits. Machineca body reigns. Edit: Her lower body does have a rocking joint that allows her to arch backwards at the waist. So she's got more articulation than the older girl kits too
remember, sticker first, if it didnt go right, you can paint it later, if you paint first, and your brush accidentally touch some where like the face part, you basically screw
Hey Mecha Gaikotsu I have some tips to share to fix the Loheng-rinko a bit: 1. paint her eyelashes with black (I used stickers for the eyes as I don't have other color paints, but you can still paint those). 2. Give her face a livelier color by using pink real-touch marker. Apply on the face and rub it with cotton buds to give it an even layer (kinda like makeup). 3. This is just my opinion, but I think Loheng-Rinko looks better if you use the shorter eye part and not use the clear part over it than the longer eye part.
Not sure if they would work for this kit, but I’ve seen water slide decals for the eyes of Kotobukiya’s Frame Arms Girls kits. Could be a good alternative to the eye stickers that come with this kit.
You comparing to two old Kotobukiya Kits Gourai is old as hell and Sol Hornet is old too. Go buy a Frame Arms Girl Hresvelgr (pick any out of the 5) or Baihu and Megami Device Number 5 and beyond (5-6 Asra Ninja and Archer, 7-8 Magical Girl and Witch) Diver Nami is better than the other Bandai Girl no way in hell is it better than the ones I listed. Top of that there a Gourai Kai ver.2 coming out next year.
"koto killer" in price yeah. on one hand koto wins on water transfer decals, OOB looks, articulation on the other hand, koto does love exploding joints. (they do have extra wrist joints on the new kits) im looking forward to Mobile Doll Sarah though
I went to the mall yesterday and it surprised me that there are still Diver Nami kits even to this day. Maybe all of you had the same thing happened, or no?
I'm glad they changed the denomination for these, I'm not strictly opposed to them, to each own their own if they want one, but they shouldn't group them next to the war machines. on a different note, I wonder if I can turn one of these to a gundam boy, there aren't any of those even if we had a canon build strike Sei. I'll need a lot of putty.
Um, dude, they first jumped the gun with this scale of figures in the line called Figure-rise-6, a short-lived line of suit-style characters from Tiger & Bunny and Kamen Rider (specifically Kabuto and Faiz). Well, the Standard line was initially meant for just Dragon Ball, but everything changed when Active Raid came around. Now they also brought in Kamen Rider and Naruto in the line alongside Build Divers, and we are expecting stuff like Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and even everyone's favorite Gunpla Ninja, Ayame!
(P)aint spray gun (G)undam marker saber ^these are a defininat for what the letters are for but as for the others..... (U)ltimate nipper? javelin (possibly god hand) and the rest not quiet sure what the D or L letters are for.. also noticed the nippers are on a gator clip
but yep was debating on this kit when i saw it and the painting part might be some good practice for me since i am mostly an oob builder but trying painting this might be one to do since if i mess up painting could just use stickers even if they are horrid..
Kotobukiya still holds the edge on mecha musume model kits tbh. Sure they're 20-30 USD pricier, but the quality shows it as well. Also they come with prepainted faces w/ eye expressions. And some koto kits (like the Megaman and Medabots) come with prepainted parts as well so while Bandai is on the right step, they still need to up their game. Something tells me that mecha is a bit too bias to Bandai given how much praises he giving it when comparing to the likes like FA Girl.
That cause he reviewed two old as hell kits and think that all of Kotobukiya kits. He review Gourai Kai (which used the old as hell Gourai Body) and Megami Device number 3 Sol Hornet (which is using old tech from number 1 & 2 WISM). If he does not buy Frame Arms Girl Baihu, Jinrai any version, Baselard, Innocentia any version, Hresvelgr any version, or Megami Devices number 5 & 6 Asra Ninja and Archer, 7 & 8 Magical Girl and Witch he have no rights to be comparing Bandai Girls to Kotobukiya Girl at all. He is a reviewer price points can be mention yes for the consumer but not be mention for the reason he not reviewing the rest and latest kits of Kotobukiya. When you get into a hobby (video games, comics, model kits, etc. etc.) prices should not be a problem period. Ok my rant is over I like this youtuber and I am subbed to him but he annoys the hell out of me when he comparing Kotobukiya to Bandai have no clue what he talking about.
I hope Bandai is working on more with this to compete with Kotos' Frame arms girls. Its been ages since I want a gundam themed girls that doesnt suck. They really need to step up on the game in this department too.
Hello! I’m pretty late to this but I just bought it and I’m having some trouble with the hair parts. Specifically parts E2 and E1. I can’t seem to fit them. Please help me
Please, if you want to do a arm girl model kit review, pls try more post that actually human does, I bought both the one you review and Sara ninja, I'm sure that some poses the bandai doesn't work well
Is the SOL Hornet the only Megami you've built? Build the ASRA Archer. Comparing the Archer to the Hornet is like comparing Nami to Fumina... The Hornet is good, but the Archer is so much better...
I lived to see the day Mecha Gaikotsu is praising a gundam girl model kit.
Lol luckily me too
Are you sure he doesnt have a gun pointed at him behind the camera??

Kotobukiya is hand grenade factory
Hand grenade factory?
I have 10 koto kit and never seen how its a hand grenade.
So a bit of a nit pick here, but I really wish they would have the eyes pre-painted. I'm horrible when it comes to laying out stickers on my Gundam, and knowing I'd have to risk messing up the eyes just kind of kills it for me.
'Yes' to this.
the sticker eyes on this kit is really bad, if you can't paint it, You better not buy it.
Would make the kit insanely more expensive just for that eyes pre painted.
I'd be willing to pay that extra money. To me, the eyes are one of the most important parts of a figure. It gives them personality. Screw that up and it looks generic and boring.
Why not paint it yourself? I painted the eyes of my collection using only two markers, black and blue. You can wipe off the excess for lighter blue.
Bandai spirits pretty much exorcised any demonic fuckery from this gundam girl. Figurise standard really saved this thing.
Well almost. Its not a gundam girl kit if it cant pull a regan.

Okay fine, I'll get her if she goes on sale. She's sold out right now anyway.
Looking forward to Figure-rise Ayame a bit more now.
Nami is the only decent waifu from GBD, so it's awesome they up their level with this kit.

would love to see how you painted the eyes in a separate video if you got time to finish the other 2 faces

Not sure if they would work for this kit, but I’ve seen water slide decals for the eyes of Kotobukiya’s Frame Arms Girls kits. Could be a good alternative to the eye stickers that come with this kit.
Great review!. I would like to see you doing a polynian review. Liked those a lot.
Still can't get over the normal smiling face. The other faces look pretty good.
Yes your painting again
You comparing to two old Kotobukiya Kits Gourai is old as hell and Sol Hornet is old too.

Now i wonder how the review for Mobile doll Sara would be.
I would like to see the tag improvedkit for these new generations coming out because they are step up and step out from the previous
Now that they're making them better, I'd love if they made kits of some gundam characters. I'd get a Char or Amuro kit, that's for sure.
I went to the mall yesterday and it surprised me that there are still Diver Nami kits even to this day.
Maybe all of you had the same thing happened, or no?
If u notice it, there is old bandai logo on her chest
As DANTE said: "so! Ready to EAT your Words?"
I hope they use water slide decal for these kind of kit in the future.
What is that figurine in red?
you should review the gundam marker air brush they have.
I'm glad they changed the denomination for these, I'm not strictly opposed to them, to each own their own if they want one, but they shouldn't group them next to the war machines. on a different note, I wonder if I can turn one of these to a gundam boy, there aren't any of those even if we had a canon build strike Sei. I'll need a lot of putty.
Great video thanks. Can you recommend any good tutorials on painting eyes on model kits?
i see you have a soft spot for Nanami nee-san.

Definitely gonna buy this
I'm adding this to my list
I was expecting another fumona so i dont need to buy this, but rip me. Btw nice review as always
Can you also use her shield as a part separator too? :D
You think you can replace the hands with figma hand shapes or little armory hand shapes?
I'm wondering if she's compatible with the Build Hands and if she could use any HG weapons or the build custom weapons.
Will there any review for the Jegan Blast Master?
it they'd throw in 200 yen more for making the eyes i'd buy it,and seeing how it goes they might do that,really love the proportion changes tho

Is the SOL Hornet the only Megami you've built? Build the ASRA Archer. Comparing the Archer to the Hornet is like comparing Nami to Fumina... The Hornet is good, but the Archer is so much better...
Can you review that Megami Device, after all? I still like to hear your opinion on them.
so you said that there are three kits so far with the new blue logo, this one and the moon gundam. What's the third?
