Bandai Hobby - Digimon - Metal Garurumon (Amplified), Bandai Spirits Figure-Rise Standard Model Kit

It was in perfect condition, and all pieces were there, it also came with a stand, something that I did not know it had, and one less that I need to get, Definitely recommend.

Let me preface my review by saying I haven't put together a model kit in 25+ years. Back then I did car models that required glue and paint... They were way too much work. Thankfully, models have come a long way since then. Everything snaps together solidly and requires no glue or paint, although if you wanted to, there's no reason why you couldn't. A nice high-gloss paint would look awesome, but the colored plastic pieces do Metal Garurumon enough justice as is.I was immediately overwhelmed when I saw so many different pieces and instructions with minimal text explanation. I began to regret making such an impulsive purchase and considered that buying something more simple to start off with might've been a better idea. Reservations aside, I dove straight in. The instructions are only a bit better than you'd find with Ikea furniture, but easy enough to follow. After getting my bearings, discovering how to remove the pieces and clean the edges, about 30 mins later I had only assembled Metal Garurumon's head. Still, I found myself thinking: 'this isn't so bad.'The complete build took me just short of 5 hours with a few breaks. Granted, I had no idea what I was doing when I started and then once I got in a groove I got complacent and messed up. I had to disassemble the back legs and reorient them from the knees down because I built them backwards. Hey, got confused!The level of articulation and detail is fantastic. This completed model is not an action figure, so don't expect to be able to play with it as such. It holds together just fine and can stand on its own without the included stand. That being said, the stand does offer more dynamic posing.In all honesty, I didn't have to think very hard to find a con of this product. The decals. There's a small sticker sheet which includes the eyes and accents. While they definitely improve the overall finished look, they're a pain to place. I recommend using tweezers to place them and they definitely take a steady hand to get aligned properly.Anyway, this model kit definitely revived a decades old hobby of mine. I know I'll be doing more kits like these in the future. The entire process was relaxing and left me with a great sense of accomplishment. I don't know what level of difficulty a model like this is considered, but if I was able to put it together with minimal mistakes, so can you!

Es facil de montar, vienen las instrucciones muy detalladas, figura bonita y con muchos puntos de articulacion para realizar diferentes poses. recomendable si eres fan de los modelkits o de digimon

L'articolo è arrivato nei tempi previsti, la scatola era assolutamente perfetta, senza ammaccature o altro. Anche il modellino è arrivato con tutti i pezzi. L'ho acquistato per fare un regalo, è molto bello da costruire e non è troppo difficile

Rien à dire sur la maquette qui est réellement une merveille mais plutot une astuce qui peut aider:Il est dit ,sur le manuel,de fixer la tète en dernier cependant il est plus facile de la mettre AVANT tout le reste car les jambes de devant(et celles de derrière) sur la figurine rendent sa pose difficile!
