    The idea of kotobukiya hexa gear is great. Contain soldier and a vehicle. But it's waaay too overpricey for a model kit 3 inch figure.

    • @MrFlunkorg
      @MrFlunkorg 5 років тому +6

      Only when you compare them to Bandai kits, which are the cheapest on the market. Kotobukiya is a much smaller company so they can't really afford to sell their kits as cheap. Theirs also the fact that they pre-paint parts which are expensive in itself.

      @@MrFlunkorg the figure itself is a plastic model kit and it should be like figurine if the price is high. Compare to acid rain b2five figures, even tho is small and expensive, but it show some quality and sturdiness. i have one of hexagear soldier and vehicle. It's a good looking figure and vehicle but flimsy and easily loose (especially joint). im not talking bad on kotobukiya figures, their product are great, especially frame arms girl that have already painted face. But for hexagear is too expensive for a 3 inch model kit. Plus, not all hexagear have pre painted, you have to paint more details on the vehicle or soldier, just like bandai model kit. (sorry for my bad english.)

      I do miniature wargaming. That price is pretty good for us. Usually we're $30+ for a single stationary pose mini and are expected to have several of these "hero" type single minis and dozens of troop types at $5-$10 per miniature to fill out an army. We also don't get our kits in pre-colored plastic, so paining isn't a luxury option, it's a requirement. Totally different hobbies, but I'm guessing the cost for plastic isn't more because it is being injected into a wargame sprue.

Just gotta break out some glue as whenever you try to put the chest knifes on the head, front skirt, and shoulder pads pop off!! The Early Governor definitely cannot pass the physical so that why I am giving it a 4F rating!! Use only after using all the women and children first!! OUCH!! But will definitely link your video!!

    Glade to see a review on the governors before I get one. I may hold off on them for a bit. I did buy a Bulkarm today and not really sure what to expect. From what I've hear Kotobukiya's models are known to be pretty damn customize-able. My adventure with Kotobukiya started with me wanting to get my hands on a Lost Plant model. (mainly the PTX-40A and Bleed VS) However all i can find are limited overpriced toys of the DIROS. One of my friends pointed me to the Hexa GEARs and Kotobukiya's models in general saying that I could build my own VSs using the Hexa GEARs and other models because of how customize-able they are.
    Is there any truth to that,and any advice to a new comer to the Kotobukiya models? I'm mostly use to GamesWorkshop minis, Bandai, Italeri, and Tamiya model kits. with some NECA figures here and there.

      Bandai actually has some of the cheapest model kit prices on the market. Kotobukiya pricing is more standard. Makes sense considering that bandai is a much, much larger company then kotobukiya.
      It's also worth noting that Bandai holds copyrights for multicolored runners, so other companies have to spend more money producing separate coloured runners and/or pre-painting parts.
