Spent the last couple days putting Ryuki together. Fun kit, overall!
The actual Ryuki part of the Ryuki kit is maybe one of my favorite builds ever? The stickers are minimal, and always apply cleanly. I can't believe the Dragvisor looks as good as it does, considering it's about five stickers that interlock, but at a quick glance it looks like it's painted. The construction is straight-forward, with everything connecting with zero hassle. Spending an afternoon building this guy was a delight.
The absolute best part of the build, though,
the smartest thing
, is that all of the silver pieces use under-gating to attach to the runners. All of the little abrasions on the metallic paint from snipping, those are all on the
underside
of the pieces. It ends up making all of the outward-facing silver parts completely clean and perfect. It helps enormously, and it leaves Ryuki looking flawless, even after rushed work by an amateur.
Dragreder took an entire extra day of work, and I'm ambivalent about him. I think he looks great, but I've honestly never been that psyched to own Contract Monsters. He's a bunch of work that I did out of a sense of completion, not because I was overjoyed to have him on display. That aside, his build is repetitive (build one part six times, build another part two times, etc.), but it comes together great. I'm not sure anything I've ever built has looked as professionally-done as this guy, this kit? And, like, I am not doing everything right! I hurry through this stuff! But the cleverness of the engineering means that a rush job gets you a four-and-a-half star toy at the end, instead of a five-star.
My only real gripe about how the Ryuki kit does things is the Strike Vent. Unlike the minimal and forgiving stickers of every other part, the Strike Vent slathers on stickers in unintuitive and frustrating ways. The exact opposite of literally every other component, and something I never plan on displaying Ryuki with.
So, yeah, skip the Strike Vent, the rest of this kit is stellar. Very highly recommended!
