Kotobukyia has kept this model kit line going strong, both with Mega Man releases and Fate/Stay Night ones, like this new Saber Lily. The Saber designs are pretty cute as well, allowing for a lot of fun poses. I’m hoping the line is selling well enough that it’ll get Mega Man villains and more Saber [...]

This Queen’s Blade Cattleya statue kit is a Wonder Festival exclusive, limited to 10. I normally wouldn’t post an exclusive convention kit but it struck me as so awful, so enormous (1/2.5 scale!), just so tacky that it had to be on display!

Ah, the long awaited classic Mega Man kit from Kotobukiya! Considering this is 1/10th scale, requires substantial assembly, potentially requires painting, and it’s $30-$40, many people would be hesitant to purchase it. But that’s what this review is for! Check it out to see if this version of the blue bomber is up your alley. [...]

Turns out it’s a snap-kit like the Mega Man they just released! Comes with about 80 pieces, just under 4 1/2 inches tall, I’m sure it’ll have some great articulation. Enjoy the promo shot of the Kotobukiya Saber kit.

Well look at that, a painted picture of the Volks Saber Lily kit! Shame that Volks didn’t release larger pictures on their site though, or at least, I can’t find since I can’t read Japanese, laffo. It looks quite nice painted, I’m sure Fate/Stay Night fans will be pretty happy, the ones that can afford [...]

Volks is known for their awesome 1/4th scale kits, including the Bayonetta that made the internet rounds last year. Here’s a sneak peek of their Saber Lily kit, which should be displayed in more detail at the upcoming Winter Festival in a few weeks.

Bandai put up the One Piece Going Merry kit for preorder a while back but we never had proper color images. Unfortunately, it’s fairly obvious this is a painted one and not simply an image of the base colors, but it’ll have to do! It looks great, if you’re a talented enough painter to make [...]

For you One Piece fans out there, Bandai is releasing a Going Merry model kit in a few months. It’ll be about 11 inches long and come with coloured plastic (despite the picture below showing it as a standard kit). Seems to be reasonably priced, around $35~ at import shops.
Now this is an ambitious project right here given the size and quality, I just wish it wasn’t limited to 3 in total! This is one of the coolest ships from any anime ever, as well as one of the most memorable. If I had the money, and weren’t completely inept at building kits (for [...]
