>Kotobukiya is making reproduction kits for Arnval and Strarf based on new Machineca (マシニーカ) bodies designed by Apsy.
>Plastica.jp will sell blank bodies once he's happy with the final design.
>Megami Device (メガミデバイス) is another proposed line using that new body, so they'll be compatible too. They could be GKs, model kits, or figures. Too soon to know.
>Frame Arms Girl continues with an unarmored kit plus the architect is up next, with another mech on the way.
>Blade teamed up with Megahouse to make some cheaper, 8cm tall 1:1 battle robot figures called Desktop Army. Their plan includes 3d printable add-ons to appeal to customizers.
tldr it's a good time to be a Shinkifag.
Where to buy second hand Shinkis:
>eBay/Amazon - only if you hate having too much money. Avoid Latvia.
>Mandarake - search 武装神姫 and don't trust listing images (they sometimes get mixed up).
>Yahoo Japan Auctions - same kanji as above, you'll need a proxy, try Noppin or FromJapan.
>Taobao - search 武装神姬 and use a proxy like Taobaoring, Taoboafocus, or Bhiner.
>Amiami occasionally gets some preowned. They tend to sell fast.
>Check the BST, My Figure Collection, and Busou Shinki World for sales.

I'd rather have a 1/12 tank for me shinki but seems like all of the ones in the market are RC instead of kits. That leaves me with that Scopedog and the Tit and Fall mecha as only options.
>>5298920
You haven't seen the GuP tank?
>>5298937
I have but Figmas are smaller than shinkies, i might be wrong but that one's probably 1/16.

Nope, glorious 1/12 stuff.

God is an asshole.
>>5299674
Carousell? Gonna try it out, someone offered a Valona at a nice price.
Saw Oorbellen on sale, but she fetches a high price.
>>5300042
Yeah, ask Zylias if he has any other shinkis, he has a few he hasn't listed yet. But he seems to be somewhat aware of the demand for some of them given how he severely overprices some like his Babyrazz, which is odd given that he sold me my second Asuka for only S$50.
That Valona is a fucking steal tho, please let me sleep sound at night knowing she has gone to a nice master.
>>5300055
I'm still really glad Comics Connection's death and rebirth as ToG let me pick up Arnval MKI, Xiphos, and both Vic Viper sisters at cutthroat pricing, letting me jumpstart my Shinki collection.
>>5300061
Holy shit so it was you who bought the Vic Viper pair?! Where did you run into the Arnval Mk1 and Xiphos even?! I only saw the Vic Viper sisters at Nex! Please have many adventures!
If you're popping by AFA, be sure to look for booth C-42 in Creator's Hub for some Shinks!
>>5300070
ToG Bedok.
I finally got my cans of Mr Super Clear (1 gloss 2 matte), will test the flat/matte on some old figures I can dig up from my old toys stash.
>>5300081
For clarification, I got all my first four Shinki from ToG Bedok back when it first opened.
>>5300084
How much did you get them for even? The ones at Nex were amazingly priced at around 80s iirc
>>5300091
S$50 each. I bet the prices went up shortly before they vanished from the shelves, never to be restocked by ToG.
Still looking for a Pomock or Partio, those two kids are adorable.
>>5300055
>two Asukas
Jelly as fuck. Just wish I could pick one up but for the price I always prioritise other Shinkis because of Asuka's blank expressions.

>Zylias
Holy shit, that's the guy I bought my Vespelio from. Who knows, he might be looking into these threads and figuring out demand for shinkis.

Does it take any special modding work to make a MMS3 head fit on a MMS1 blank body?
>>5300169
Not really. The MMS1 necks are soft plastic so they can't crack or anything.
It's the other way around where you want to be careful.
>>5300106
>All these Singaporean Shinkers

>realize that Stylet's parts look a lot like F-16 parts
>try to design some Air Force-style decals
And then I realized Stylet doesn't have a lot of surfaces on which I could paste decals without going full Katoki.
I should probably go to the hobby shop to see if they have some good decals that are the right size. Maybe get some aircraft weapons to display too. (For the SG shinkibros here, the store I'm referring to is M Workshop.)

I wish I had the skills to make it actually look good. See how they did it with F-14 on the back of the manual? Yeah, that's the ideal outcome.
Right now I'm also planning to get some MSG weapon parts, and maybe, just maybe, submit to the Koto contest if I don't fuck up too badly. Might as well, since I planned on painting it anyway (albeit with spraycans and a little handpainting).

>>5301676
I live on in hopes that at least virtual shinki-like programs will be available through augmented reality glasses.
>>5301676
It's for the best, I wouldn't want to make them sad when I die.
>>5301671
They never did release her?
>>5301666
Oh yeah. I promised you guys pics of the new house renovations, didn't I?
>>5301823
The first thing you'll probably notice is the stone foundation. Over 500 (possibly 1000, I didn't count) hand-cut ragboard flagstones glued and painted to fit around the house's foundation.
>>5301830
The second thing you'll probably notice is ...
>>5301832
The house is turning. And the table it's on ... is not.
>>5301835
Arguably, the most important addition is a wired turntable, that allows the house to turn while still getting electrical power. Now, I can take as many photos as I want without tangling any cords.
>>5301694
It's our inevitable fate.
>>5301839
I also prettied up the porch, with a lattice and some stairs. The lattice is real - there's an empty crawlspace behind it, that didn't come out well on camera. It's dark in there!
>>5301845
Oh yeah. And of course. The house has finally got a roof! Actual shingles and not just bare wood! I also added shingles to the awnings of all the windows and doors.
>>5301848
I'll probably make a webm of it spinning later. If I can figure out how to rotate it without getting myself in the shot, that is.
Either way, the house is now done-done. There's nothing left to do, literally. The only thing I could do to add to it now is buy furniture and posters and the like, and those are transient, anyway.
... Maybe add a few fixtures to the bathroom, like a shower curtain and shower head for the bathtub. Hmmm ...
Nice Shinki house! I was thinking of just using LEGO bricks to make something nice for them. Gonna have to get creative to build an in-scale door system for them though.
>>5301877
>>5301835
>Amiami postcard
Neat.
The house looks amazing.
>>5301694
Not to ruin the feels, but can't shinkis detect life signs? If they found out something's wrong, they'd probably call emergency services. That kind of function would make sense for a social/recreational bot like shinkis.
It would still be heartbreaking, though; shinkis still lose their masters and might have to be passed down to others or deactivated.

Looks more like a custom to me, comparable to the ones they displayed when Gourai was released.
>>5301852
maybe tie a line to the bottom of the stair, wrap the line around the base and turn it that way? like you would an old fashioned lawnmower?

I think I asked a long time ago - what kind of dollhouse is this?
>>5302759
A heavily modified Melissa and Doug Holly Ann.
I kind of wanted a Lady Anna instead, but there've been three different versions of that kit (one with door and balcony, one with balcony and window, and one with window and no balcony) and I couldn't guarantee that the ones I was seeing were the specific configuration I wanted.
These houses haven't been in production for several years, so you're dealing with aftermarket if you want one, and the sellers have no idea what they're doing.

How much painting do FAGs require?
>>5303769
Their faces and certain finicky bits are pre-coloured, but you'll still need to paint in other details. They also give decals for the panties.
>>5303773
Are the details completely unpainted(gray) or does the plastic have some color?
>>5303791
The fine linework details are unpainted. Only certain specialist bits and the faces are painted.

Not necessary, as armor and skin parts come molded in color, and faces come with eyes preapplied. Koto still gives you extra blank faces and eye decals, and some paint will make it look more like the one in promotional pictures.
>>5303635
This will be my first FAG, I have a few questions.
FAGs are compatible with all the regular MSG stuff linked below as it says.
So i should be good to go if i order a load of these?
http://slist.amiami.com/top/search/list?s_seriestitle=MSG+%28Modeling+Support+Goods%29&s_stockitem=1&pagemax=40&getcnt=0&pagecnt=1
But what about the extra different forearm+hand parts in pic related? Where are they from? I can see hands listed but not the forearms.
Excuse my autism.
As I got Gourai and building the Stylet while deciding on Materia
Just what is the main differences between the current FAG, Machineca, and Megami Device bodies?
From I can tell, Machineca and Megami Device use the same prototype bodies that the future Shinkis will based on but the same can't be said for FAG: different chest style system and all.
Is FAG going to go as the Dodo bird as Shinkis comes along? Or are the 3 line (4 with Shinkis) going to be more or less compatible?
>>5303870
Those are arms from Stylet and Gourai. All these girls have a common chassis type, just like Shinki share the MMS system.
>>5303872
>Just what is the main differences between the current FAG, Machineca, and Megami Device bodies?
The shoulders, obviously.
>>5303873
Those are arms from the original frame arms versions, not the FAGs. I seems that the architect is going to be extra customizable as I don't believe you can just slot them in on the other FAGs.
>>5303889
That explains why i'm confused and why they look so huge.
It looks like her special elbow joints are what allows compatibility.
Saw this and felt I should share:

>>5304091

>>5304142

>>5304091
I wonder how much blood was lost while making that
>>5304147
>need paint
>improved
Shinkis didn't need to be "improved" but thanks for correcting me, I didn't actually know. I assumed the unpainted pictures that had surfaced were just prototypes.
>>5304282
Model kits will always be superior because they can be improved and designed to one own's heart content. Just because youre a lazy American don't think a little extra work is bothersome just because you're a lazy master.
>>5304290
>Model kits will always be superior
I disagree but then I collect figures and not model kits.
>Just because youre a lazy American
Nope. I just prefer buying a finished product rather than having to try not to fuck up painting, clipping, sanding etc a kit. I've never been good at that kind of thing.
>a little extra work is bothersome
Eh, toys are a hobby for me but the main part I like it taking pictures and posing them. If I wanted to collect model kits I'd collect Gunpla. Just not my jam.
>>5304308
>toys are a hobby for me
But you just said you collect figures. What kind of master doesn't build things for their most precious than that is live?
>>5304282
They are just prototypes. Koto is like bandai in that they use colored plastic. They will also have they eyes predone for you based on other koto releases. Most of the little color details will need painting though.
>>5304318
just because parts are prepainted doesn't stop superior nippon jin senpai making customs these general has yet to even compare you. it might have been around for a long time but I have yet to see anyone come close to a high quality kitbash/scratchbuild

Isn't that just showing off the blond hair?
>>5304371
>Also, not American.
>doesn't like making things
with that attitude you might as well be.
>>5304444
I don't mind making things but it is something I choose to do to add to my toy collecting hobby. It shouldn't be, at least in my opinion, an assumed part of collecting Shinkis or any other you line. Like I said, if I wanted to collect Gunpla I would but I don't.
>>5303635
this time I will finally preorder in time.
What's the deal with http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-014140&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_seriestitle%3DFrame+Arms+Girl%24pagemax%3D40%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1
she has got a serious Hank Hill ass going on
>>5304470
are you implying Shinkies are on equal footing to gunpla and require the same ammount of care?
>>5304478
It can definitley look unflattering but i think it depends on the angle somewhat.
>>5304479
Quite the opposite, I'm saying that they are two very different things and that I only have interest in one (Shinkis). Gunpla don't really interest me and I don't want the Shinki line to turn into model kits like them. If I wanted that I would just buy FAGs.
>>5304484
The butts aren't very good. They need to work on that.
I'm looking forward to Materia and this blank chest gk due out next month. There's been some nice customs built on this gk and with with Materias blank articulated arms and legs there should be more options for customizing.

>>5309358
>Shinkis need a lot of attention
Fubuki wasn't happy when she found out about the exclusive scarf she doesn't have. She likes this just fine though.
>>5309288
Proxima Spinel is blonde and has a purple-black colour scheme. Her 'sister' Maryceles Lemuria has a similar colour scheme.
>>5309288
I have a shit camera, but I have Proxima Spinel. Her color scheme is way more fitting to a horse theme than the base colors. Proxima looks more like a race car driver while Spinel looks like a horse back rider. Plus, Spinel comes with everything Proxima does as well as an extra lance.

>>5304318
I'm building my first, a Stylet. The four face options come prepainted, nothimg else does but the plastic is color separated so it's not really an issue.
Personally I gave all the flesh bits except the head, neck, and the lower part of each upper arm a coat of german grey. Gives it a more power suit look instead of a girl in her underwear with plane bits strapped on.
Can someone post a pic of Stylet with as little armor as possible?
The one thing stopping me from buying it is not knowing if I'll be able to give her cute clothes, though I'm fine with robot parts sticking out.
>>5311066
I'll see what I can take off when I get home, but I glued most of it.
Do keep in mind they're releasing a blank chest piece >>5304507 and Materia and Architect bodies are both fairly naked >>5304484
If you're on the fence, I'd say preorder Architect or try and find a store still stocking Materia and if you love her, Stylet still isn't hard to find and I'm SURE they're re-releasing Gourai at some point.
Also, forgot to ask. Just got my Stylet weapon kit in the mail, anything special I should keep in mind before starting it?
>>5311066
The legs will be the only tricky bit. Most of the shoulder bulk comes from the blades, which can be detached, and if you need to you can also remove the spacer outright. The chestplate comes off easily, but the skirt is part of the body.
>>5309770
Is this what Arnval is wearing?
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIG-DOL-8316&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dpicco+neemo%24pagemax%3D40%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1
If so, could you post a few other pics if you have any?
>>5311154
I hope you're happy, I stripped my Stylet for you.
Gourai looks better without a skirt, she doesn't have all that nonsense going on around the waist. It'd probably be OK if you put clothes on her.
But as >>5311154 said wait for that gk for a blank chest piece (there's been some neat customs based on it) and Materia for blank articulated arms and legs. I can't wait to get those. It depends on the hair you want, but you might have to get a bit creative there.
>>5311245
>I hope you're happy, I stripped my Stylet for you.
I'm static.
I never really liked the skirt though omiting that piece leaves that hideous gap, and I wouldn't mind just having a piece to clip over the other gap in the chest. Personally, I want as many reminders of her being a robot as possible without them obstructing clothing.
I just want to dress her like best worst girl in pic related.
Well. Thankfully, HLJ has the Materia girls but my only impression from them, never ordered from HLJ, is outrageous shipping prices.

Oh I forgot to say, shinki spacers will fill in those gaps in the arms. Materia still ships with mech parts there.
There's this gk if you can find it. The one Koto are selling though their webstore is a little different I think.

I'm a dumbass, I just checked again. That's the Stylet kit, its the Gourai kit they have for sale. I guess maybe Koto will sell the Stylet one too.

Were you the one who bought a copy? Thank you so much for your support! Wished we could have chatted more! But continuing where we left off, avoid black padding on glasses cases, there are some rare occasions where the black rubs off easily on some budget cases.
I don't only use glasses cases but deck boxes too from when I used to invest in expensive cardboard. It ultimately depends on the shinki size and whether or not you have fabric on them that'll fray easily with Velcro, in the case if you use a deckbox.

Lu Bu shinki confirmed
Recently got LED base for Nanoblock nockoffs.
>>5312372
Nice deal for 2 bucks, but still hard to take pics with it...
>>5312138
Mine has grey microfiber lining, but I'll use the clean cloth provided as a blanket for Arnval just in case.
>>5312361
MAYBE
>>5312399
Most importantly cover the face parts but given that arnval is mostly white you might want to wrap her up
Small belt pouches make for adorable photos too.
Just noticed that there's a little crack in the ankle joint of my Shinki. Is there anything to do to prevent it from eventually breaking in the future?
>>5312573
Ankle joint meaning the peg that goes into the foot?
You can try pinning a thin wire into it if it's that. If it's the plastic around the rivet, maybe superglue.
>>5312602
Couldn't get a better photo with my shitty camera. Basically, the red circle is the crack itself and the green circle is another place where plastic might break, since it's stress-whitened
>>5312628
Yeah, superglue that shit for now. In the meantime try to find a replacement on yja.
>>5312635
Not that guy but would Tamiya Thin Cement and other similar stuff work for these small cracks? Or is the chemical not good for shinki plastic?
>>5312733
I don't think modeling cement will work on that kind of plastic. I think you'll need superglue.
>>5312779
IIRC there's some kinds of plastic adhesive they use for gunpla. Would that work?
>>5313344
NIGGA DEY TOLD YOU THREE TIMES SUPERGLUE THAT SHIT FFS AGRABAGADSDZDGZFDHVHGCVFD
>>5312628
It doesn't seem too bad of a crack. Is it even an issue? If it's not, it may be better to leave it alone.
Radial cracks/stress like these are normally caused by
>manufacturing defect, someone hamhandled your piece while assembly
>elevated temperatures, holes become smaller while shafts become larger
Not >>5312628, but doesn't Tamiya cement technically melt plastic to fuse them?
Sorry if I'm being annoying.
Is there anywhere that still has Stylet in stock?
Amiami says Orders Closed and I have no idea what that means. Mandarake has nothing. HLJ currently lists her as discontinued. 1999 is out of stock.

Depends on the cement and the plastic. Cement doesn't just melt everything.

Okay. First time ordering from BanzaiHobby.

>>5313846
Mizuki's screws are rusted, fairy warning.

*Fair warning.
>Straf MK2 for 5500
Oh baby its like the good old days.
"Mastah! A package arrived today. I took the liberty of unboxing it for you. You know this won't fit my color scheme, right?"
Yes, I know. It's for your new sister.
"S-sister?!"
Don't worry, she got a friend today too.
"Can I name it?"
>>5313902
Where?
>>5313369
It isn't an issue yet, I'm just worried it will be an issue in the future
>>5313705
A-anyone?
Their SAL disclaimer is 2spooky btw.
>>5314519
What's the disclaimer? Too lazy to open now since I should be studying, but do know that unregistered SAL packets are, by nature, not insured and you can't track them. Registered SAL is insured up to 6000 yen.
>>5314578
The tone it's written in is really ominous. They make it sound like all SAL packages get lost.
I was going to go with EMS at first but the raise after putting a second kit was nearly the same as the order.
