  • I enjoy the hell out of the Bandai Figure-rise Standard Dragon Ball model kit line, but Piccolo may just be the best I've built so far. Sooo sooo good. Sure, it has it's nits but still an amazing piece. And the new hair for Gohan makes me like that kit even more.

    The alternate Gohan head is for Gohan as a regular Super Saiyan. When his hair is standing straight up, he's in his Super Saiyan 2 form.

    The likenesses to the anime and colors are actually more accurate on these than the Figuarts. They display beautifully, the scale is spot on and with some touch ups they look even better! An excellent alternative to the "big guns" from SH Figuarts

    Always love a good model build session with uncle Robo haha I love how you only cover important parts during your build process. As a review it really helps any builders do theirs right and is very considerate. Other channels do sped up build videos but don’t take the time to cover stuff like that so its really refreshing to see :) As a side note if you streamed a build here or on twitch I’d be tuning in and keeping the convos going haha

    • @TheFwoosh
      @TheFwoosh  6 років тому +2

      Haha, a stream would just be me cussing at myself most of the time for doing stupid stuff or taking too much time to figure out HOW THE HELL THIS PIECE FITS TO THIS PIECE! Actually, not a bad idea...

    • @ArtIsMySin19
      @ArtIsMySin19 6 років тому +1

      The Fwoosh Still would be entertaining and I’m sure people would tune in I definitely would. In real time we could here your thoughts about it and stuff and give any help if you’d like. Plus you could have DBZ/Star Wars playing in the background to catch up haha it’s up to you I love the review format as is but more Robo on stream would always be awesome

    It was actually cheaper for them to include extra Goku parts since they can just reuse a molded sheet instead of making a new one, it happens with Gunpla alot as well.

    The reason for those extra slots in the waist is actually to keep cost down. The way the engineered that is so they can use the same tooling on different kits. Goku and piccolo use the same waist unit even though piccolo is larger than goku is. Extend the waist and there you go.

      betterluck they don't really compare the model kits are very light they are great for the price point but figuarts are better the only thing the model kits do better is how the knee joints with baggy pants are. So far the best in the line are piccolo, cell and broly. Stay away from frieza he breaks way to easily. This piccolo looks better than the figuarts one however that was the first figure to release lol.

    This is probably a stupid question, but I've been fascinated by these model kit videos, and have been wondering for some time now if all of these Star Wars and DBZ sets are snap-together kits? I'm still scarred by the few glue and paint model kits I dared to attempt as a kid, and have never really considered looking into these Bandai kits, for fear of all of that glue and paint I'd assumed was going to be involved. But, I might actually -- eventually -- consider looking into a kit like this, if they're snap together.

      @dillontrauth8674 6 років тому +1

      If youre a fan of either of those properties I highly recommend them. Ive got a couple clone trooper kits and a lot of dbz figure-rise. They snap together super solid and you can get away without painting if you dont want to. The color seperation on these things is ridiculous

    • @sXeblues
      @sXeblues 6 років тому
