Title: Resin Kits Post by: felineki on May 17, 2008, 11:00:07 pm Some of the resin kits that are featured on Violet's site are up for grabs on Yahoo Japan auctions.
Pururun (http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m56678351) Mipple (Pururun & Omitsu) (http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d83091850) It's nice to see more pictures of these, they're very well made. Too bad my model-building skills are nonexistant; from what I've heard, kits like these aren't for beginners, it takes someone with a lot of experience to make them look like they do in the brochures. Title: Re: Resin Kits Post by: Daisensei on May 18, 2008, 09:13:42 am I found the site with Mipple figure casually, when I was googling to find something about T. Souma's manga book. I don't know much about model-building, but I guess it must be painted manually... would be so awkward for me! :O
The site says the toy is a limited edition made by Max Factory (http://maxfactory.cms.drecom.jp/) (not Max Factor) for a model kit event (JAF-CON'92). Title: Re: Resin Kits Post by: LadyFlame on May 22, 2008, 06:10:57 pm Very nice indeed! Shame these things never usually make it out of Japan. :(

Title: Re: Resin Kits Post by: felineki on May 26, 2008, 06:00:59 pm Happened to come across a website (http://homepage2.nifty.com/mc-apc/page006.html) featuring the same Mipple set today. Colors are a bit off, but nice nonetheless.

Title: Re: Resin Kits Post by: LadyFlame on June 20, 2008, 05:04:54 pm Just out of interest, what size are these figures usually? I might see if I can get the SetsunaKou girls to make one for me (assuming they can get hold of the kits, that is).
