shinki is back motherfuckers
Fuck yeah
>>13848483
but as plamo right? not proper shinkis
>>13848483
Actual, "Konami got off their asses and did something that's not pachinko", Shinki?
Or are you talking about that Frame Arms girl thing
>>13852649
>Actual, "Konami got off their asses and did something that's not pachinko", Shinki?
>Or are you talking about that Frame Arms girl thing
Both in a way. Koto got the rights and a bunch of the original people involved and are making Shinki model kits.
>>13852649
It's not Konami. It's Kotobukiya. They bought Busou Shinki off of Konami.
>>13852664
>buying shinkis means I'm not giving money to konami
this is great!
>>13852656
>>13852664
Sweet, sign me up
these shinkis look like shit
Why the fuck would they make the oldest Shinkis as model kits, you can still pick those ups sealed for like $40-$40. It's like they want the venture to do poorly.
>>13855545
I for one would be happy to find an Altines not priced for $200.
Are these new model kits the same scale as the old shinkis or different scale?
>>13852704
As opposed to the old ones?
>>13855545
Do you realize how many fucking versions of Arnval and Strarf Konami made?
>>13855581
Assuming they're built using the same basic frame as Frame Arms Girls, which it looks like they are, the new Shinkis will be almost exactly the same height as the old ones or perhaps very slightly bigger.
>>13855676
How are the frame arms kits? I'm not a good painter at all, I don't think I'd be able to do their faces.
>>13855697
Faces come prepainted and with a few variations in expression, same as Shinkis. The rest is reasonably color separated, though they'll look better with detailing and topcoat. I also recommend spraypainting their thighs and waists something like German Grey to make the pantsu, which are kind of crass if left as-is, into a Shinki-style bodysuit.
>>13855714
>pantsu
>crass
How dare you.
>>13855714
Wow, that sounds kinda lewd.
>>13855714
Got any photos?
>>13852656
>>13852664
Kotobukiya confirmed for bros.
>>13856172
Funny how this one was designed by the same designer for Arnval and Strarf, though. Fumikane gets around.
Does this mean more Altines?

>>13852664
Actually they only licensed the rights, and it's by individual character. They said so at the announcement at last year's Wonder Festival, and also said that they've only licensed the Arnval and Strarf so far. IIRC they also said they might be looking at the bike girls next.
>>13855545
How the fuck can you even compare them? These are completely new things based off the art of the two.
>>13855581
They already confirmed that they'll be the same size as the old ones.
>>13855676
The FAGs are huge compared to shinki, and no, they're going to be using the Megami Device bodies (see pic)
>>13855697
Faces come painted. Pic is straight build.

> they only licensed the rights, and it's by individual character.
Konami what the fuck.
Reposting the Megami Device stuff from the other thread that died:
AD 2046: People make little robot girls and have them fight! Again!
The base units before modifications and further equipment are
Type A: Multipurpose, balanced specsequipped with assault knife
Type B: Scout, good at data collection/analysis, comes with a support drone
Type C: Long range support, good at handling high power weapons, comes with a long range rifle
Type D: Melee, comes with claws
New Kotobukiya model kit series with Shimada Fumikane designs and Asai Masaki and Toriyama Toriwo sculpts.
In other words: Same setting (figure-sized robot girls fighting) and staff as Busou Shinki
>>13856229
It's probably cheaper that way, and Asai was going on about how great Konami was in handling this.
>>13856236
Braids and doggy ears look best from that image.
>>13856240
Type B a best girl. Blonde braids are cute.
srw when
>>13856206
Jesus christ that's lewd
>>13856299
It also implies that "real" Shinkis don't just have dolljoints but have at least superficially human anatomy. Unless that's simply supposed to be a portrayal of Altines as a non-doll Shinki rather than being accurate to in-universe Shinki.
>>13856306
>>13856299
Also, unfortunately I don't have a closeup of the Altlene it was paired with, but it looks like the Altlene isn't as lewd anyway.
Oh boy.
I'm going to make my own custom cuties.
>>13856306
>It also implies that "real" Shinkis don't just have dolljoints but have at least superficially human anatomy
Literally every single official source says otherwise.
>robots
>anime girls
>combine them both
It's like Kotobukiya makes these things just for me!
Waiting for more info on the Megami Device ones, they look pretty cool.
>>13856632
This. The statues are fan-works. while the toys are 1:1 representations. The video game is pretty consistent about the joints, in any case.

>>13856229
That's how Kotobukiya always does things barring a couple recurring robot plamo lines.
>>13856708
Even the anime those are ostensibly based on (as they're sold under the character names) drew joints, albeit only vaguely.
>>13856632
>>13856708
>>13856788
>>13855605
Yeah, but there are still only two designs. Both have a couple rereleases with a few extra parts or different color schemes, but that doesn't change the fact that this is the very first model with a little bit more detail in kit form. Same original design, same original loadout, same original color scheme planned.
>>13856222
>How the fuck can you even compare them?
Compare for yourself. Of course they're not straight up remolds, but they're still the boring 1st gen characters and armor when the Mk2s are way better.
>>13856222
>The FAGs are huge compared to shinki
Anon, you're full of shit.
>>13857985
He must've thought that Super Fumina is part of the FAG-line.
>>13858005
>>13857985
I really don't know why you're shitposting this hard, but FAGs are clearly at least a head taller than 1/12.
>>13858231
This photo.
Let me show it to you.
>>13856236
Are you sure these will be model kits?
Last WF, when they were shown off first, it seemed like they were still trying to decide whether to have them be model kits, garage kits, or complete figures.
>>13855676
It's the other way around interestingly. The new Materia Frame Arms Girl uses some features that came from Masaki Apsy's Machineca body. I'm only assuming here, but this is probably Kotobukiya testing the waters both on their end on practicality of making Apsy's Machineca and the market demand.
The Shinkis themselves will be based entirely on the Machineca body with a couple modifications to make it closer to the old MMS bodies. Probably make the knees single joint and add screwhole details.
Apsy had some new stuff at his WF booth this time in regards to his Machineca and there are some details and photos you can take a look at here:
http://blog.goo.ne.jp/n_maimono/e/eb78b3262dbdd9d785976bb6e3a46c44
>>13856174
All the current ones out right now are by Fumikane. The first one that we'll see that isn't by him is Fleswerk.
>>13858597
Have you handled ANY of the stuff mentioned in this thread or are you just trolling for the sake of it? The new Piconeemo S body that Fuyou uses is a full head shorter than regular 1/12 stuff like the old Piconeemo body.
>>13858231
>>13858597
This silly goose thinks all Shinkis are created equal.
>>13858672
When in reality there are three templates, and still some variation beyond that depending on what armor you add.
>>13856174
Is there a place where I can see all of these girls?
>>13858643
You're posting an MMS 3rd Small in that picture.
Those are quite shorter than normal MMS regardless of 1 or 3.
That said, Materia is a teeny bit taller than MMS1, but not so much so that they can be called huge compared to Shinki. Comparing Gourai and Shinki for height is like putting one of them on 1 inch tall platform shoes thanks to the armor.
>>13858691

>>13858683
http://myfigurecollection.net/search.php?type_strict=1&type_id=72408
It's a user-compiled database so might be a bit incomplete til they catch up.
>>13857985
Also with a little ingenuity you can sway limbs between fags and shinkis and everything looks about the right size. Almost like they set out specifically to make their own comparable scaled figures.
>Shinkis are clearly at least a head taller than Shinkis.
Shinki come in different sizes, as do Piconeemo bodies. So far FAGs come in one size which is bigger than the biggest Piconeemos and shinki and clearly larger than 1/12.
>>13858597
>misleading by comparing smallest piconeemo to biggest shinki
Oh look I can do that too.
>>13858721
Nobody cares, fuck off shitposters
>>13858725
It's not just the height but also the size of the heads. FAGs are not taller in the same scale but simply bigger.
>>13858763
Shinki head sizes were wildly all over the place too.
>>13856236
Type D best Megami

The relevant part of the picture are the two figures on the left.
Context is a thing.
>>13859492are you retarded?
>>13858691
This. The guy who claimed that Materia/ FAGs are huge compared to Shinki and Assault Lilys is talking out of his ass or is actually talking about the Super Fumina. The FAGs got a bit of height on an unarmoured Shinki because the mechanic legs give them a bit of extra height in the heels, but the limbs and heads are compatible size- and proportion-wise to the point of interchangability, which pretty clearly indicates that they're both roughly in 12th scale.
>>13858919
Complete garbage. But the open source 3d print files to make your own are a neat gimmick for the line.
mecha musume is the cancer killing /m/
>>13861567
Must be killing it really slowly then, what with it being around since at least the 80s and all
>>13860611you're one sad little man
>>13861570
That's generally how cancer kills.
>>13861782
Some cancers kill really quickly, though. On the other hand, that could just be a matter of when they were detected.

Get a load of this prude. I have to respect that you have an opinion, and there's nothing wrong with preferring things more puritan, but I'm seriously laughing here.
>>13868751
You could always buy your tiny robot dolls some real clothes if you really have a problem with it.
>>13869196
There's also the balloon shorts option.

Just use a really small balloon and cutting a couple of circles in it?

The seams would be as much of a pressing issue.

Lordy
How easy would it be to kitbash these with Gunpla? What about other models like Muv Luv's TSFs or FMP's Arm Slaves?
