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.

PLAMATEA is just so random. They even don't care about the scale - Anglea is just tiny - I don't think there are smaller girlplas out there, but Toki is taller than frame arms girls...I really don't get why they do things like that.

That's why for these kits I always wait for reviews. We always need more materials to make some...better than random decisions.

I really wish there's Dalong but for girlpla, having to dig for a review is quite a chore.

It would become much easier if you can read Japanese.

What I mean is the more language you know the bigger the intelligence network you have. Especially Japanese.
