Big s Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 6 hours ago, electric indigo said: So far I only snapped one Moderoid kit, and the large injection points are really irritating. With the substancial number of parts of the Deer Stalker, it took forever to clean everthing up even before even glueing things together. I love the range of subjects in the line, but the kits are not cheap, and the engineering should be a bit better. I didn’t really find them to be much different than the majority of other model companies. Bandai seems to be the only one doing little pin point connections and have spoiled a lot of builders recently. 6 hours ago, Chas said: Did you take any pics of the marks? Not sure what 'injection points' are. Maybe ejector pin marks? Regardless, that's not the best news, not a deal breaker mind you, but still disappointing to hear. I’m pretty sure he’s referring to how the sprue connects to the individual parts. As I said above they thick compared to Bandai, but pretty much where the rest of the companies are with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the orange cat kits, but it might be fun to have the anime version as well. I’ll keep an eye on it. Hopefully it turns out cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big s Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I want the Robocop, so I can practice on metallics. There’s this subtle hints of color like blues and purples giving the movi version that heated titanium look, but in a softer way. I’d like to see if I can do it in small scale without overdoing it’s a challenge to myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big s Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Haven’t seen the anime for Bang Brave Bang Bravern, but the moderoid looks pretty cool. It’s pretty cheap as well at less than twenty bucks on preorder sales. Looks like this will be just over 4 inches, so that might be why it doesn’t cost as much as most of the recent moderoids. It’s listed as non scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of a little Alloy figure to put this beast into scale is a little letdown. The kit turned out and looks fantastic! I really want to buy one, but so far all by Moderoid kits just collect dust partially snapped (Sterlitzia, Escaflowne, Big-O, and Evangelion 01...) Hope Goodsmile keeps up more kits from Horizion, so many good mecha designs. Edited May 9 by Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Saw this video of the Moderoid booth and noticed this for a split second and couldn't believe my eyes... Chouriki Robo Galatt wasn't very popular/well-known (designed by Kunio Okawara). The main mech Janbu only got one transforming kit which was limited to 80's tech partsforming ... a modern take on this is so welcomed.

Broken blade is a fun addition, Giant Gorg looks fun. A lot of these are from franchises that have needed kits decades ago and others are more recent. Some are surprisingly obscure. Maybe one day they’ll get around to Southern Cross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
