1/12 clothes like Picco Neemo fit these, but they tend to be loose or baggy.
We need to collect some resources like tiny tailoring tutorials and patterns.

Jinrai Indigo version goes up in 20 minutes or so.
Looking like she might be general release. They're going to be selling her on Amazon.jp and not just Kotoshop if figsoku is to be believed.
Koto will have some exclusive blank face parts and hair parts it seems.
http://figsoku.net/blog-entry-25912.html
Below links will 404 while the listing isn't up. Should work once they are.

I want her just for that head

think $65 for a loose, standless espadia and a complete w/ box lancamento is fair? I'd rather sell them at the same time for the sake of Hercules.
>>5704052
Do I need a forwarder for buying from the JP Koto store?

Probably, yes.

To the anon who suggested that, it works like a charm. Those little peg things were a bitch to cut off the sprue though.
I tried to snap a photo with some eyecons I just got in, but I could seem to get me focus right, or hold still. Need to invest in a tripod.

Went to set a figinstock alert for Strarf Mk 2 and I can't find her on amiami. Am I retarded? Anybody got the link?
>>5704349
That's odd. I guess since there was no standard release for her they don't have a permanent page.
>>5704353
How was she released differently?
>>5704355
She was only released with one of the busou shinki psp games along with arnval mk2
>>5704379

Is there any difference between the frame arms girl first relase and the reissues?
>>5704781
Sold out!
Anyone have experience styling pure neemo hair? Can you dye it? How easy is it to shape and have it hold a shape? They have some clothes that make my heart and hurt, but I'm not a fan of any of their licenses. It'd be neat to try and make a double size Werkstra or something.
>>5705064
Try the BJD threads, I think they have the expertise in that area.
Everyone loves FAGs.
>>5705353
This is what, Gourai's third or fourth reissue now?
>>5705361
Third I think. Never underestimate the power of little robot girls.
I'm glad Koto keeps rereleasing them.

No, that's just a glitch that happens from time to time. Check your cart and try again. If that fails, email them.

>>5705435
No, immediately retry to place the order. If you got that screen instead of a confirmation page your order didn't go through. Do it again and if you get the error again email them. Don't wait and hope for he best. That's how you miss preorders.
>>5705462
Yeah I finally got it worked out and got my pre order. Thanks for the help.

Cheers m8
Alright guys, pick two out of these four: Zelnogrard Berig, Werkstra Commando, Gabrine, Renge.
>>5705546
Werks & Gab
>>5705546
Gab and Renge.
Don't separate them
>>5705598
This, desu
>>5705641
t-bh is now wordfiltered to desu.. wtf hiro.
>>5705645
baka desu senpai
>>5705546
Gabrine & Renge
They will be the first ones I'll be getting, when I have the cash.
>>5705645
It's been for a year or so, at least is not as bad as WHERE'S SARAH CONNOR?
>>5705450
I'll be able to pay for all my pre-orders, but I'd be risking it if I ordered Gourai and Architect.
A shame since it's the first time I've seen they haven't sold out the minute they went up.
>>5704145
Knowing she can have big meaty clawhands all the time is making it hard not to buy a Strarf.
>>5705598
>> Shinkis of Justice!
Anyone know how well Picco Neemo stuff fits on FAGs?
I know they're a bit large on Shinkis, and that FAGs are slightly beefier than those.
>>5705841
Or Ron Paul
>>5706118
Depends on the clothes. FAGs are quite a bit bigger than Shinkis so have the opposite problem.
Things like hoodies and tops seem to fit nicely. Skirts and dresses I've had no luck with.
>>5706118
You'll have a rough time getting them on over armor. But I find they fit the materia girls beautifully.
>>5706071
That Millenium Slizer bike fits Shinkis really well.
>Get payed tomorrow
>Eyeing a Bruticus on eBay to take
>Suddenly a 14k Babyrazz on Madarake
I never really wanted a Babyrazz until now. Why?
>>5707492
Ger her if you want her, that's not a fantastic price or anything. She's up on Suruga-ya for 12k right now, for example. Call me back when Sharatang goes for that cheap.
GUISE I'm expecting Architect soon but I was wondering, would something like pic related also work with the legs? Like swapping them for some FA Rapiere legs?
Also I'm starting on Extend Arms for FA Baselard, but does anyone know if it's gonna be compatible with upcoming FA:G Baselard? I need to know because of colour scheme reasons..
>>5707758
The holes in the bottom of her thighs are 3mm, so as long as it has a 3mm peg you can put it on there.
Or you can even connect two 3mm holes together via a piece of runner. That's how I attached my Heavyarms missile pods to my Gourai.
>>5706118
I managed to get Assault Lily clothing onto Materia. Two minor obstacles were that Materia has a slightly shorter neck so anything in the collar area that juts out will push against her head. I couldn't fit the skirt around her waist so it is hiked all the way up to where she is thinnest at the midsection. As a result, Materia's underpants are barely concealed from the front and are plainly visible from the rear.
They have the same arm length but Materia's legs are significantly longer.
are pure neemos the ones that fit FAGs?
>>5708111
No, pure neemo is 1/6 which is way too big.
You want Pico Neemo, and not the Pico neemo 'D' stuff which is chibi proportioned.
Assault Lily is fine too, they use the Pico 2.0 bodies with better articulation.
>>5708121
damn, i just saw the cutest bunny hoodie on AmiAmi that was Pure Neemo
>>5708121
>and not the Pico neemo 'D' stuff
That only applies to socks, shoes, and hats. Picco D dresses and panties fit perfectly.
>>5708173
Hmmm, good point.
Welp, looks like I'm gay now.
>>5709222
Trips don't lie, enjoy your dolls
>>5709222
What colour am I supposed to panelwash the hair with? I've only got the standard Gundam colours for washes (black, grey, brown) and none of them seem right.
>>5709425
Get some pastels or weathering powder. A little pink pastel in the hair (and on the buttcheeks) makes it really pop.
>>5709555
I'm not seeing any pink weathering powder in the usual places.
>>5709598
http://hlj.com/product/TAM87127/Sup
Peach works great for things like blushing and Materia's hair.
>>5709669
Just a regular top coat or two of whatever finish you like. People say you should put a gloss coat on before powder or decals, but it's not absolutely essential.
>>5709632
Thank you, daddy. <3
>>5709673
thanks, anon
which top coat should I use?
>>5709685
If you have access to it, Mr Ultra Clear from the model kit shop should work.

Busou Shinki pachinko when
>>5710602
Which part of Konami not giving a shit about Busou Shinki you dont understand? to them they dont even qualify as pachinko material.
>>5710602
What he said. Not even worth a pachinko machine in Konami's eyes. They wouldn't have let koto borrow the license unless they thought they got all the money they could from it already.
>tfw 1USD:99JPY
>>5711296
where? It's been at 106-110 for a couple of months now.
>>5711110
Not him but I was under the impression from the timing of the announcement that the deal was at the very least in the works before konami went into full retard mode. The change really was something that occurred practically over night with no warning so it might not have affected the deal quite so much as some seem to believe.
But then again this is postulation from dude who has more connections with the game industry and thus understanding how long license deals tend to work on that side of things, and practically no knowledge on the toy industry and how fast they might pop out announcements after a deal is secured.
>>5707853
>Materia's underpants are barely concealed from the front and are plainly visible from the rear
Sounds like an improvement to me.
>>5711588
Konami went full retard with the shinki franchise in 2012.
>>5712564
Every time you bad mouth Konami, they revive one of your favorite franchises just so you can watch them kill it again.

>>5714162
>new mgs never
Cant say i'll be missing that one, besides shit had a good run and you got the last game released.
Why do some shinkis say PVC and others do not?
>>5714236
Probably tagged that way to get more customers to see them in web shops.
>>5714236
Maybe because of the two types of shinki bodies
>>5714170
>he thinks that's unusual shit
combattler and macross have also had pachislot machines made. shiny new animation and everything. pachinko parlors are pisscommon over there, and the array of shit with cash-ins is frightful.
for a company that's dying by their own hand, aiming at compulsive gamblers is a predictable move.
Welp, I just made a 250 dollar shinki order, including a couple doujins I didn't see on sadpanda (though my search skills aren't great) Any good way to scan them without bending the pages to shit and back?
>>5716340
The only way I know of is completely debinding the pages
>>5716524
>>5716526
>>5716530
Are those supposed to be stairs? Stairs like that would never hold up under regular foot traffic. Plus, the oversized blocks don't match up -which completely kills what little of the intended effect remains intact.
No no, it's wholly aesthetically displeasing. Should have just stuck with the clear plastic.
>>5716526
Fuck, I need an Altines. Pity she goes for such insane money on Mandarake. Is she worth the money? The only other MMS3rd Shinki I own is Strarf Lavina, who as much as I love her is a bit of a pain with the sheer volume of (often very small and fiddly) parts she comes with.
>>5716769
Her wave-sister, Altlene, has a lot of fans, too.
>>5716863
Yeah, she looks good too, though I prefer Altines. Though I suppose you really can't have one without the other, like with Gabrine and Renge.
Speaking of which, I wish those two were less expensive. I love the face designs and the weapons. That said, I do wish they were a bit less stripperific, and if I get them I will be making/acquiring them custom clothes- I've got nothing against sexy robot girls, but Gabrine and Renge are a bit too...child-like for me.
>>5716532
Well then sorry, but it looks like you guys aren't getting scans of my Murmeltier doujin.
>>5716521
>>5716524
>>5716526
>mfw
>>5716340
If you have a flat scanner shaped the right way, you can have the binding on the edge and the rest of the book hanging folded over the side of the scanner.
>>5716526
>Stoop Altines affraid to leave her stoop.
>>5717009
>Gabrine and Renge are a bit too...child-like for me.
Now that you mention it, they are a bit like kids but I guess that's their small bodies
>>5717779
Wonder who's the best Shinki to help her with this dilemma
>>5712294
I wouldn't say they went full retard back then with the shinki. Can you blame them if it just wasn't selling like it use to? If it was just unprofitable they had to cut it. But it did seem like they were looking for some better factories for a potential revival when the anime raised massive amount of interest.
However completely and totally shutting down the entire game development department and not bothering to be polite at all with the employees in the process is full retard.
>>5718703
Konami is fuknuts in the head. I mean, they killed their homegrown toyline just as an anime was ready, then they fire the game director who made them a ton of money over dozens of metal gear releases.
You wanna talk about a company that hates money, they're pretty much it.
>>5719244
The big money they were chasing after lay in the pachinko industry.
Still a very stupid decision to drop all the other moneybags in pursuit of that.
>>5718284
Yeah. It's the flat chests combined with the MMS3rd Small body and the facial designs I think. I'd absolutely adore them if they weren't so scantily clad, but as is I'd feel kind of ashamed displaying them without some proper clothes- and that's coming from a proud owner of Figma Ryuuko and Satsuki. I dunno. Maybe I'm being over-sensitive but there's something...creepy about them.
That said, if I could get or make clothes similar to pic related and I found them for a sensible price I'd buy them in a heartbeat. I'd want them to be able to equip their armour and weapons though so I'd probably have to make something.
>>5719278
Gabrine isn't that bad..I mean, at least she's wearing pants, anyway.
>>5719278
I think it's because they're petite AND flat. Artille is kinda petite too, but she's stacked on the boobage.
>>5719283
Yeah, Gabrine is definitely the less ludicrous of the two- she's also my favourite out of them, to be honest.
>>5719284
I'd agree with that.
Incidentally, are there any good books/guides on making doll clothing? I saw one in a doll's house shop but it was all for period clothing rather than general clothes-making advice. Not that I have a problem with period clothing of course.
Took a little work to make this selfie of Materia and Maochao.
>>5719292
Honestly, I love 'em both to bits, but even I get a little wary of leaving Ren out when I know the landlord's coming over...
>>5719278
Lirbiete seems more loli-like now that I gave her the pigtails from a custom lily azone doll.
>>5719300
Nicely done shot!
I've been getting so many neat Shinki pics off Twitter lately..!
>>5719278
>>5719302
I never thought of that with Renge. Out of the two she's probably my favorite since I've got her almost decked out like she was in the Gaburen book. It also helps that the previous owner was a bro and included a custom hairpiece for her too.
>>5719329
Fair enough.. I mean, it's not the first time I've been accused of having "improper" thoughts about her.
>>5719244
Again, you are comparing the current konami, the one who fired kojima, to 2012 konami. Don't be salty and make them out to be eternal monsters back then over canning our favorite toy line, except for that mistake, they still were trying out awesome ideas like setting up plans for the awesome silent hill project that current konami took a giant steaming dump over. Current konami is still only one year old.
>>5719352
"Current" Konami was happening beyond Metal Gear. For instance all of the important names for the Love Plus and Tokimeki franchises left in similar situations to Kojima way earlier than Kojima did. Franchises have been left dead and wasted longer than they've abandoned Busou Shinki for. Fact of the matter is that Konami's been shit for a long time, it just hasn't come into the public limelight in the West til a big name likr Kojima got caught up in it. Konami's been a joke to Japanese for a long time before Kojima's incident.
For those who are interested, I think I found the twitter of the Master of that gorgeous black-haired Lunaria custom we all keep seeing here and there.
https://twitter.com/ku_ma0
>>5719701
Wow that's gorgeous.
>>5719803
Yeah, she's kinda legendary amongst Shinki customs, and probably one of the reasons Oorbellen Lunaria is so sought after by her lonesome.
Hell, I'm just happy to find so many pics of her now.
>>5719701
That leather suit is fantastic.
What's a good first time purchase shinki?
>>5719888
cheapest thing you can buy pre-owned on amiami that isn't a EX set
>>5719814
Is that why Oorbellen Lunaria is so damn expansive?
>>5719888
Depends on your taste. If you wanna shop cheap and don't mind doofy faces then either benio or xiphos. If you have dosh to spare then go after whoever catches your fancy.
>>5719998
Also because she's pretty close to nekkid
>>5720143
>whoever catches your fancy
tfw gabrine is sold out or almost 200 burger bucks I guess I'll be watching jap auctions for awhile.
>>5720176
Suruga-ya had both Gabby and Renge for about 9k each. After proxy and shipping, that'd be about 200 freedoms for both of them instead of just one.
Granted, I haven't checked in a few days. I was pretty close to buying them but decided on others. But if I win employee of the month in a couple days I might get them too so hurry up :^)

Quick warning about those Twitters: Japanese Masters aren't as psychotically hung up about "lewding the Shinkis" as us Westerners are, so be sure to grow a pair before digging too deeply. You have been warned.
I just started building my first FA:G (and my first model as well). How am I doing? If I'm not doing well, what am I doing wrong? I'm going to finish up the legs and neck later today.
>>5721520
For a first kit, I've seen worse. But right now you need to stop.
Go to the nearest arts and crafts store and buy
1. A new xacto knife
2. A pack of blades. (I think #18 are pretty good for kits. But basically anything where the blade faces forwards instead of down)
Very carefully, go back over her and cut off the nubs. Try to make the cuts as smooth and flat as possible.
This is the first most important thing you can do to make her look good.
Also check out the gunpla general. They have a guide full of good advice.
>>5721604
are these kits hard to build? Say for a complete amateur wanting to build one just for the sake of having a FAG
>>5721733
Snap kits are pretty easy. But your first one is always going to be relative garbage. I'd go buy a cheap Gundam or danball LBX to practice on before working on a kit you care about.
Again. Read and double read the gunpla generals guide. It's very helpful. And make sure you're using the right tools.
>>5721741
okay thanks!
>>5721467
Hmm there is a "deliver over seas" option on their site which leads to buysmart Japan. Is that a good one? Sorry I'm painfully new to buying from japanese sites.

Why do people bid on shinkis with six days left? All it does is make the auction more expensive.
>>5722531
eBay sends out a different email for items you bid on nearing the end as opposed to items you just watch. And if you just don't care but want to toss in a token bid just in case no one else wants it either. It's not that complicated. Sorry the world doesn't revolve around you.

This is back up on mandy.
>>5727127
Then they probably sell themselves to another Masta.
>>5727392
Obviously you buy something nice for them, just don't let them max your card out or something.
>>5727133
Speaking of gabrine. What's a good outfit for her?
>>5728030
Pink frills and a giant ribbon.
>>5728030
Devil Wings
>>5728030
I think a big black hoodie would be kinda cool for her. You know the type- the oversized ones that can almost be worn like dresses.
I'm really tempted to get a Strarf Mk2 to go with my Valona, but I've got FAGs everywhere now.
I've got a Strarf coming in the mail. Any suggestions for accessories?
>>5728304
Mk 1 or Mk 2?
Since we're talking about Strarfs, what's the parts difference between MK2 and MK2 FAP?
>>5728401
That's Mk1
>>5728371
FAP has more weapon and armor parts included with her.
>>5728402
Okay MK 1 then. Sorry I'm still kinda new to shinkis.
>>5727133
Dammit, and I just bought the zootopia and Senran Kagura artbooks before my Prime ran out.
If this is up on Thursday, I'll probably cave and grab it and the two Shinki artbooks. Any scans of them online? I don't have a go-to site for non-h things and Panda didn't have scans that I could find.
>>5728650
You get the hand cannon regardless.
>>5728655
Negative. Strarf Mk2 non-FAP does not have the gun. Both Lavina versions have it though so you might be thinking of that.
>>5728887
So THAT'S where the parts to put the mecha claws on Strarf's actual arms are. Goddamn you Konami and your exclusive bullshit. I would have bought the Lavina FAP but it's crazy money.
On the plus side, at least you can still give her claw-hands with the existing parts.
>>5729568
>MFW I thought that exact line when looking at the pic before I read your post.
>>5729117
the funny part is that tempesta/lavina FAP weren't exclusives and so should cost you less than the "normal" colors.
I know, I know. "should" is famous last words...
>>5729568
Anyone know where to buy this sweater?
>>5730018
Amiami, Hlj, or Hobby Search 3 years ago.
>>5730030

There was a Strarf Mk2 FAP on Amiami for $98 USD.
Was.
In totally unrelated news, I got a Strarf.
I saw a gabrine on amiami earlier today. Might not be there by now.
>>5730248
Not there that I see.
>>5730218
Good.
>>5730389
I'm quite excited. Everybody post your favorite Strarf pics?
So, do Shinkis require assembly like FA:Gs or do they come assembled in the box?
>>5731152
Shinkies are a figure. The only assembling you need to do is assembling the armor on them.
>>5731270
What's the cheapest shinki that's still on the market? poorfag here
>>5731315
That one that you will fell in love with
>>5731315
In your case, Benio and Xiphos. not far ahead of them are Mk 1 Arnval and Strarf and possibly Eukrante
>>5731320
I recommend Eukrante for first shinki if you're looking to buy a cheaper one.
>>5731457
what are her stats? i need to know for roleplay reasons
I'd recommend a Strarf for your first and definitely not because she was my first and she's also super cute. I'm totally unbiased here I swear.
>>5730720
>>5731508
You can't go wrong with Strarf.
>>5730720
>>5731508
Heck yes for strarfs
>>5731508
I'd say the strarf and arnval MK2 molds are by far the best as far as fun with the armor and stuff.
Being cute is also a plus.
>>5731459
Stats: She's a good Girl. Bio wise, Eukrante is built on Evasion and precision. Her armor is designed with dodging in mind while her weapons are not that great, which is why she relies on precision shots to eliminate her targets.
>>5732016
>she's one of the few shinkis who can be set to call you 'Husband' instead of 'Master'
Everything new I learn about shinkis makes me love them more.
Any idea what actual week this month Jinrei comes out?
What's a good place to get extra shinki faces and hands?
>>5732195
Outside of conventions, you won't find any 'spare' ones. You might get lucky on Yahoo Japan Auctions, and I know of at least one Taobao seller who makes shinki shit, but honestly, the cheapest and most reliable way might be to make resin recasts yourself.
Other than that, unless you're looking for specific hands and faces, you'll need to just buy cheap shinkis.
>>5732230
Okay, what about picco neemo 1/12 scale hands would those fit?
>>5732308
With some modification, figma and picco neemo hands do fit. I can't speak for any other 1/12 hands, but have no reason to think any wouldn't be able to be modified.
>>5727133
Didn't some Anon already scanned this for us?
>>5732490
No, I took some shitty photos of it without debinding it.
There are no high quality scans of it.
>>5732230
Can't you get hands on shapeways or something?
