I bought my very first Busou Shinki, or rather my very first mecha musume figure, Arnval. All I can say is, she is now one of my favorite figures I have because of how portable she is and the sheer amount of poseability she has.
I have a few shinki I have played and displayed often or take out on adventures with me. Never broke any parts or lost any yet. Will mention they were not ham handed but have been posed dressed up wore gundam armors. And the joints still hold as tight as they did new out of the box. These bodies are probably the best durability for action figures from Japan.
You can normally scoop up the parts pretty cheap in auction lots as well as custom garage kits hair pieces, armor, etc. That were even supported by konami.
It's funny that 2007 old ones Busou Shinki still look better than some of the figma released today with lower price. (but then figma quality is dropping recently) Also sad that Kotobukia Busou Shinki reboot is gunpla that requires assembling rather than the plug in and play old Busou Shinki. :(
One thing to note is some of the older figures in this line sweat(like the plastics) depending on the material's used, most softer materials in the early kits will sweat though(not like beads of sweat but a light slime...it's rather unpleasant to touch but can be washed off, though it does return with time and can be mildly difficult to remove). I've noticed this most with hair parts and faces. The more recent kits(post body update) generally are made of better materials in my opinion and will hold up better(though I think these 2 do hold up decently well, I'd say only a few specific ones sweat really bad). Otherwise they do hold up very well.
Very nice posing!
It is something a ton of reviewers don't pay attentions on, which bothers me to see.
but you did it fantastic!
Subbed.

I love the limited black and white versions. God damn I miss Battle Rondo. I miss my Ach...
Same i had Arnval i miss her sometimes
I'm so jealous of you! I remember stupidly buying lousy figma over Busou Shinki, thinking such a cool toyline won't be cancelled;_;...
ur posing is awesome

Great posing and review. Thanks! You may wanna mention the white variants too for both these figures. They look great too.
Nice finally someone on youtube did a review on busou shinki. Nicely done. Hope you do the other shinkis aswell my favorite arnval and straf.
+karloverg Glad you liked the video! These arr my only two, and I've been trying to find new homes for them for a while. 😅
ryc03 also did some shinki reviews many years back.
Im getting arnval soon
I didn't knew that the reprint was so limited, i feel even more fortunate to have them. Nice video and those posses are great.

On the upside, Megami Device B-Series Shinki have the improved articulation of the new post-MMS Machineca body type.
Why are figures from 2006 better than figures from 2020
Nice video love the figures hoping to get one soon, but I sent of for one of them frame arm girls model kits

WOAH. These are sick.
Fantastic. Im looking for a set of these. I guess its ebay huh?
Interesting
Awesome figures, woow, I can't believe that this line now is discontinued :'(
Kotobukiya has picked up the slack though.
They remind Me Of The Enact Lol
4:45 even figures are subject to hoverhanding
You'd be amazed at what poses the bodies can stay in without any assistance even 1 leg poses upright and sideways. :D
What of this two beauties you recomend me? Yda or Ach?
Ach is probably the better one, at least more popular anyway
what figma is that?
They aren't.
@@citrusjuicebox Oh sorry, what I meant was from the start, with the size comparison thing, around 1:10
Ah, that's Drossel.
@@citrusjuicebox Ah thank you!
PS I find your intro quite cute!
