Been looking for a decent Tachikoma forever, surprising lack of options for such a popular property. I recently purchased the Variable Action HI-SPEC set and returned it, it was way too small and not anywhere near worth what it costs. I would love a 1/12th scale version.
That will help, the the issue is the cup that holds the ball is too shallow, so even if you paint and add more thickness I think it would still be prone to coming out
With how small the kit is, i think the joint parts would also be small that putting in some resistance to it may just force the thin plastic to snap but thats what I think based on its size
I am irritated why they never bothered to mold the interior leg half in grey so you didnt have to paint it. Wish it was colour accurate straight outta the box. Just lame. Bandai woulda done a better job with colour separation and especially the joints. Just stick with the Bandai Robot Spirits Version.
also 2045 is not a good anime, makes you wanna re-watch the old series instead to make the bad taste in your mouth gone, the only thing good out of 2045 are the memes especially involving a cyborg naked guy doing gymnastics.
I love that you do so much non gundam and even non Bandai stuff. Ever gonna do the HG REGINLEIF from 86?
Yes it’s in the queue!
There are a lot of figures in 1/24th scale, Tamiya make motorcycle riders, and a number if resin figures out there that could be used.
The biggest request is for Wave or Kotobukiya to make the Type 303 Armsuit for a model kit. I wonder why it was never done.
I was a little shocked at how small it was for the price point...
The Tachi from the manga/ps1 game, will alwa6s be my favorite.
I was looking to get one, but doesn't look like it will hit the spot for me. Nice informative review though, thank you.
You’re welcome!
Thank you for the review! I would have been upset if I ordered it then found out how tiny it is! The price doesn't make sense.
Love Ghost in the Shell

it is a very interesting design though

Hey!
I’m guessing if you paint it the joints will no longer be an issue. Or is there something I’m missing?

@@ZakuAurelius Ok I get it now. That’s too bad but still a nice little kit. Thanks!
I a.m. getting it
Sold out, already?? ; _ ;
So sad that live action movie don't have Tachikoma
Someone needs to recast this as twice+ the size, that's just way too tiny
You mean 3D print it. I don't recall we can recast in different sizes. Only 1:1 copy of original mold.
get rid of the ball joints and give it hinges and pegs instead
I would prefer it to be 1/12 scale
He is cute
the nub marks are so dark, they just look like black details..
kinda expensive for something so small though
It's so tiny! Lol

#1 on my list would be for Bandai to make a nice kit of the tank from the end of the original movie
@@ZakuAurelius Have this Tachikoma on preorder cos I do wanna have something GITS-related to display but, man, that movie tank would be soo good.
@@ZakuAurelius I am not sure why Bandai never touched GITS. They would do so well

no 1/24 major figure??? not worth :/
glad i didnt buy this
