You know me, I'm not big on model kits. But sometimes the stars align and there's a character which I think is made to be one and it's cheap and I can throw it in with another order and... yeah. Well that last part didn't work out hence why it took 2 months to get here, but it is now!
And I love it. Amazing engineering, everything on this guy moves, in more direction than one too. Balancing this thing is a joy; it's almost like clay that you can mold into whatever shape you want. Both thumbs hurt from building this, but I will put them up for this release regardless. And the candy - I will take it to the office with me, quietly distribute it and take joy in living with the thought that whoever ate it will never know it came with a Japanese robot model kit. Or maybe they will know. Maybe someone will recognize it. Intriguing train of thought. https://i.imgur.com/FKVP3zx.jpg |
Pre-ordered Dragon Caesar and LiveBoxer from Kurama Toys. I'm hoping Daizyujin pre-orders open up again so I can get my hands on one of those as well.

I personally went with FullCarttoys for both SMP Dragon Ceasar and Daizyujin after ppl on here and discord had favorable experiences with them for stuff. I would have gone with NinNin tho (for the slightly cheaper shipping) had they put up preorders sooner (as of this writing the preorder pages are up, but they haven't opened through NinNin yet). Hope this helps. |

SMP Dragon Ceasar is also up at TFSource, I preordered mine there.

What kind of nippers do you all use for your kits? I'm looking to pick up a pair of single-blade, and have narrowed it down to DSIPAE ST-A 3.0 and Godhand-PN-120. Do any of you have experience with those? Are there any cheaper nippers that are more affordable without sacrificing quality?

The Alphas are like a workman's tool, I use to cut anything without fear of breakage. The sharps are for precision. I've had the alphas for 8 years and the Sharps for 4 being replaced once after 4 years. I've used the God Hands before and they are really great but you must understand they are a high precision tool and therefore somewhat fragile. They don't break easily, but they will break and/or dull before your average $30 nippers. Personally I would spend the $60 for God Hands on two less expensive nippers and upgrade to the God Hands in the future when you want to do single cut builds or feel more experienced in model kits (for example never cut clear plastic runner with God Hands). |

With these SMP re-releases and the Ideon that I just picked up, I want to make sure that my "rare" kits actually turn out well. I'm about 20 kits deep, so I think I'm ready. |
