I'd rather you just get the Figma Asuna. The figure-rise one is very dodgy in the face and the articulation department. The Figma of the original Asuna is 5000yen on Manda but the ALO is around 3500 yen. A better deal already.

But if you're up to REALLY painting her, you can definitely fix some of the kit's problems.

Thanks, I’ll look into it buying them if I haven more money.

I’m annoyed that the stock photos for figure rise are basically false advertising since those feature hand painted copies.

It's true enough, though that is a thing with model kits in general -- painting them is often considered part and parcel so stock photos of pretty much any model kit out there will feature hand-painted models.

Howwwwwever, one thing I will say for FRS Riders is that... none of them really need paint? Most the pictures posted in this thread by us are just the kits with the stickers included and nothing more, and the result is always more than satisfying and never really needs paint. The only thing I've so far come across is that Ex-Aid's gashacon breaker doesn't have any black stickers so it's pure white with only colour in the buttons and the blade itself... and to me personally that ended up looking better anyway lol.

It does suck, but as far as FRS is concerned it's not exactly inaccurate to what you're getting with stickers.

I’m mostly annoyed about the Gashacon Breaker and the lack of black on the driver handle and the lack of the pink on the joint which could’ve been easily avoided.

Except they clearly state that they are promotional pictures, and that the final product will be unpainted. They’re model kits, after all.

Painted all of the missing black on Ex-Aid’s belt, weapon and Gashat.

I'm curious if the dengasher can both put in the belt and assembled into pre-finished weapons

i can't capture the sword form and the gun form, cuz' i'm pretty lazy, and i just capture it when the form's debut episode

With the Japanese shipping delays still in effect, where are people buying their Figure-Rise kits from?

I'm still waiting on Kuuga and wondering now where to order Den-O from.
