I haven’t posted about a model kit in a while, so here’s the latest I’ve made:
This is a character from Dragonball Z (a Japanese manga) done as a plastic model kit! Here’s the runners showing all the colours:
Much like the recent Miku bust I’d made the instructions were bilingual which I suppose makes the kit more accessible. But as usual the almost-completely pictorial assembly guide made it an easy build despite some tiny pieces.
Notably the kit includes a ‘muscle building’ system which just means his mottled skin is made by overlaying a lighter piece onto the darker background:
The precision is as usual for Bandai – excellent – and this works very well.
The head contains about 20 pieces alone and the final kit probably a couple of hundred:
It’s quite large and very posable, although as usual I chose not to display it in battle mode with energy ball attack.
Overall a fun build that looks great. If I was a bigger DBZ fan I’d certainly buy more from this range.
