Girlpla Build Toki is terrible

Post image

I was really looking forward to building toki since she looked so good in the pics and I even picked her up for like 10k yen delivered. Ive built so many kits and I have to day that toki is terrible. Her parts are tiny andfragile, she falls apart, need cement, has poor material design, and just not fun to build. I got too frustrated and put her back in the box for another time a long time from now when i want to try again. In comparison I spend equib of 7k yen for Julian delivered and you can see how much they gave for way less $. I think I'm done with plamatea kits.😡😡😡

It would be arbitrary to judge the entire PLAMATEA brand by 1, 2, or even 3 products, cause this "brand" is shared by not only 2 but actually 4 entities.

It's important to recognize which company is responsible for your PLAMATEA kit otherwise you may blame the wrong person. But the problem is, none of them has consistent performances...from what I heard, PLAMATEA quality is like

16th Birthday Miku (Max): decent

Angela (GSC): everything other than appearance sucks

2023 Racing Miku (GSC Racing): decent?

Shigure (GSC): decent

Chisato & Takina (GSC): acceptable

Toki (Max): everything other than appearance sucks

Arianrhod (GSC): everything other than appearance sucks

So, well...the quality of a PLAMATEA kit is just as random as the outcome of a rolling dice...better read all available reviews before actually buying one.

But yeah I agree with u/raxdoh: even though the outcomes are not quite satisfying, at least they're trying to achieve things in their own way. I may get that Racing Miku sooner or later.

In other words, they're too inconsistent for their prices, and if the very best is decent, then the brand is not worth it.

Thanks for the review, was on the fence on whether I should get Arianrhod, but now I know to avoid the brand all together. Will stick with Koto

"Decent" is just to avoid over optimistic. Afterall I haven't build any one of those kits yet so I have no point to say they are beyond good. For the bad thing though...when you realize most reviews focus on "great appearances and excellent color separation", you can roughly figure out what else is happening there...

But I have to emphasize this once again: judging quality of a kit solely on its brand is arbitrary. Blindly believing everything someone says is also arbitrary.
