I recently bought a PHANTASY STAR ONLINE Blue Burst – RAcaseal: Yellowboze Ver.APSY 1/12 plastic model kit by Kotobukiya, I'm not really a fan of phantasy star but I really liked the look of the kit and decided to buy it, it took about two days to assemble (I started late at night so I only got the arms done then I went to sleep, when I woke up I built the rest of it). it is unpainted (I don't plan on painting it), the skirt piece that comes pre-painted in this kit was not very well prepared before it was painted as you can see where it was clipped out from the plastic tree so having it already painted is pointless because you would have to sand it down and repaint it if you wanted it to be perfect, but it comes with some extra parts that aren't used (a chest, torso, toes, knee joints, shoulder armor, skirt armor, and eye plate (I think that was everything, I may have forgotten something)) so you can change the color of a few parts and build a perfect skirt armor, she also comes with a variety of hands (some are already done and ready to use (I think they are actually made of pvc) and there are some that are in a plastic tree and need to be assembled).
the articulation of the model is really nice and it is very poseable the only trouble is keeping her from falling over as she does not come with a stand (apparently this kit is compatible with a stand that kotobukiya makes, not sure what one though). the weapon and back unit pieces in the pictures shown are from 1/144 scale gundam kits (gun: rx-79 ground gundam, back units: amx-107 bawoo), the kit does come with its own weapons but I thought she'd look better with some gundam parts.
this kit also has four different hair/head pieces to choose from so you can pick the one you like best, but sadly she only comes with one face plate so you can only have one full head (unless you buy four kits).
(these head shots are not my pictures)
all in all, I am very happy I bought this model kit.
