Looking forward to both kits, these new pictures have me even more excited.

If this line really is 1/12, a 6' tall character (most KR are actually listed as being >6') would be 6" tall. And assuming the average FR6 figure will be about 6" (T&B FR6s are both a little bit above 6", which would be accurate to their actual height in 1/12 scale), that would put them about a half inch taller than most Figuarts, so maybe the scale won't work out too well. Still, on a shelf where they're all posed I'm sure they'll look fine together. Last edited by Meganus; 01-31-2014 at 07:54 PM.. |

I can actually more distinguish construction from these pics, and they look like the build will be just as fun and intuitive as the larger kits. The strength of Figurerise was how complex and the shear ammount of parts, yet they're incredibly straightforward and intuitive. I was able to build Skull without any prior model experience. |

Ah, cool. Thanks. Do you know if those are actually official or are they just showing a possible thing that can be done by those who wish to mod them?

What would you mean by official? Those are official forms from both of those shows, yeah. But as far as kits? I mean these two aren't even out yet. Those are just prototypes to show off what they'll look like as those other forms too. If these sell then sure those are the two most likely to happen.
Also, does anything on those pages say anything about stickers? From the pics, pretty much everything looks molded in colour, but for some parts like Faiz's shoes, that seems like it'd be tricky on a kit (for example, on the T&B figures, their "shoe" soles are sculpted, but they have stickers for any colour needed). If they actually managed to go sticker-less and look that good that is very impressive. |

Figurerises' general MO is to offer stickers for un-assemble-able details. However, a lot of official photos will have those areas painted to have the model look it's best.
Basically paint is recommended for maximum effect, but if you don't want to paint they cover you. Example: all the thin black line detail on the W suit? Realistically you should paint it, but they still offer stickers. Options, really. Do you want good-looking with minimal work, or best looking with extra work? Stickers are still preferable for decals and stuff, though. It's ultimately up to you. |
