Earlier this month Bandai no Bluefin announced North American releases of Bandai Spirits Hobby & # 39; s Pokémon models, starting with Pikachu, Eevee, and Mew this spring. Yesterday I joined all three of you. It took me about an hour, and I was a little confused by Pikachu's plastic face.
PokePla kits are ideal for newcomers to integrating models. They require no paint and no glue. While I highly recommend the snipper tool for removing parts from their plastic parts, the pieces of these kits just slip away easily and I managed to get rid of any hard-pressed plastic finger. The only tool I would recommend is tweezers for inserting stickers, because they are too small. While imported metals may work purchased from Amazon
Each box contains a set of instructions and a plastic bag filled with parts of Pokémon. It's like entering a serial killer's trunk.
The booklet, read back earlier, is an effective guide on how to break down Pokémon components. I suggest reading further back. Start with the section that wholeheartedly says, “Make a face of it!” Eevee's collaboration comes with two faces.
The trick is used, the way Pikachu's eyes and mouth work. They are both colored plastic bags that allow black and red to pull through the face frame, or the Pikachu sack. Once installed, everything is completely normal and not scary at all.
Wait, I can fix this. You just need to put together the body.
It's too bad, but it fits. You just need the arms, ears and tail.
And there we have it. Pikachu with eyes, dead, bloody, with a blocked tail. I think I should use sticks.
And it's done. From a bunch of Pika parts to my partner Pikachu for about 20 minutes. His little arms are moving. His ears change to shape when you shake his head. Excellent kit is an affordable model to build.
Eevee's face can be changed at will. A person has bright eyes and a smile. The other has its mouth open and eyes narrowed in happiness. Mine uses an open mouth, because it is easier to use tongue paste than white-eyed little ones.
With front legs worn with ball joints, rotating ears, adjustable tail, and split mane to allow movement, the Eevee is more defined than Pikachu. They are still very good friends, though.
Finally, we have a pile of purple parts waiting to be in Mewtwo.
Mewtwo is not a good Pokémon, with big heads like Pikachu and Eevee. It doesn't get facial insulation, just two head and eye attachments. It makes up for the absence of cranial mass with a severely damaged body.
There are many moving parts playing within Mewtwo. The idea is that, when properly aligned, people can move with their tail to raise and lower their right arm, as if it will attack you.
Mine doesn't do that. I know what to do. Eventually I will take a picture to separate it and fix it. Mewtwo looks very handsome, even if his arm does not rise. Especially when it rides its obvious shape closer to its smaller, fluffier counterparts.
Meeting Bandai Spirits Hobby & # 39; s Pokémon models was a lovely way to spend an hour or so. I turned on Netflix, sipped an old drink, and happily recreated with my Poké friends at my place. I hope the best memories will outweigh those of the nestlings on my desk.
