One thing I love about the cyber forest kits is how hard they lean into the whole cyborg girl theme while also giving the option to also have a fleshy girl at the same time.
This looks much better seeing it in the review. I am very impressed with what they have done so far with the Mermaid and this kit. Hope they keep making more of these.
IMO it's a really great kit if not a bit overly complicated but I'd highly recommend this one. It's nice how so many parts work in multiple ways and how much you can do with the kit! I also like how her "normal" body is an entirely separate piece and it gives you enough display arms for both. The added arms unit on her back is also such a great idea since her weapons are a bit heavy, it lets her have some additional support for all of her gear without adding a bunch of extra stand parts and I love how innovative that is, especially when these hits have such small wrists and hands, it helps a lot! It's just so much easier and much more stable.
Cyber Forest kits slap hard. So far I was not disappointed with any of them and each one manages to do something new and exciting. I'm yet to build the fish, but horse is already ordered.
This kit oozes style. The color scheme is godly and its design reminds me of a megami device but isnt cluttered like most of them. Plus I like how it isnt unnecessarily lewd by default which is a damn breath of fresh air.
i gree with being less lewd for the cyborg version but is funny you say that when they give you cameltoe option on the crotch 8:14 and one of the decals is a womb tato
Looks pretty good straight build. With a little effort and paint this seems like a pretty good alternative to Snail Shell's upcomming 1/12 Rosetta Rigor figure since that figure is pretty pricy. Going to grab this kit eventually to display them together.
My first mecha masume kit was an atk girl shadow hunter and I rly enjoyed how much stuff was in the kit for the price and this kit is very similar with so much stuff and good quality for the price. This kit wasn’t on my radar and it definitely is now.
I've been looking forward to this one. The hair is a bummer though since I was planning to paint this but looking at it completed, I think I'll just leave it straight built. That "more revealing part" made me lol.
Wow, didn't think I'd be seeing this on the channel so soon. It really does looks like a complete package with the body, a centaur form, and a bike form, I'll probably pick one up. With regards to the hair, material choice aside, I think it looks a lot better than the Kotobukiya line (Sousai Shojou Teien, Megami Device, etc) straight out of the box because of the matte and lack of plasticky shine (same with the rest of the body parts), but I guess that's easily solved with a bit of matte top coat anyways. On another note, the hair and face design reminds me a lot of the one Snail Shell's Assassin has.
F, the video does not have subtitles, a pity, I hardly speak English but I really like your channel since it has subtitles and with the option of translating into Spanish, which is difficult to find in a video in another language, especially in a video review of plastic models
Was really hesitant between this one and the FOX as my first kit. Tho I love the “cyborg” aspect of FOX and I get this one looks really long (maybe hard) to build, think I’m going for this one. Thanks a lot for your video :]
Haven't gotten around to building this yet, but it looks good. I have everything else they've made and like those, so I assume this one will continue that trend.
Havent seen this one for sale at my usual hobbystores yet and hlj is charging twice of what it should as is usual for the doyusha published kits. Will definitely keep an eye out for it. This looks like the best kit in the series so far. In the promo images the faces didnt look great but holy moly those are some of the best ive seen on any non kotobukiya musume kits!....and probably better than "early" kotobukiya faces even. In general this is one of the raddest mecha musume kits ive seen.
the only issue I'm seeing is that you can't do both the centaur and bike at the same time, I'd want the armored form on the centaur and the plug suit form on the bike
2 kits? almost 3 with the motorcycle. So glad I got this on preorder, it looks amazing. Not sure how you got it so early but I'm sure you have your ways...
I really want this kit, Sniper F.O.X, and the new upcoming Mad Wolf kit. Can anyone tell me what kind of experience you will get building when building these kits? I've exclusively built only Gunpla and Bandai kits, so I assume that the plastic quality is slightly lower-grade. However, the basic principles of building any snap fit plamo kit should apply here right? To all that has built a Nuke Matrix kit, is there any idiosyncrasies that I may need to look out for?
So uh it seems like you're missing something, where's the review of CF04? That aside thanks for the review, I took the plunge and got this kit as my first mecha musume kit and really loved it, it certainly looks better than in the video (also the box size is even more massive than it seems)
She looks great, would probably get her but my backlog is maaaaassive, in no small part because I keep picking up these very cool Chinese kits that are absolutely enormous. ^^()
I was really thinking about grabbing this kit but it's hard for promo images to sell me until I see a review. For the price, this is a damn steal and I will definitely be doing a lot with a kit like this. I wanted a figure of Rosetta from Punishing Gray Raven but the price being 200 dollars really put me off and the accessories don't really wow me like this kit does. This is definitely what I will be buying next paycheck.
Oh, so you did take a look at this one despite skipping out on the Siren? Just wondering though, how do you even get some of the items into the holding hands? I tried to get the Harpy to hold the guns but couldn't get them into the hands without it feeling like I would risk breaking them.
@@ZakuAurelius thank you for the insight, i just recently bought the kit and ive been watching reviews about this kit before buying one. This is my 1st mecha musume kit so i wanna cover all bases before doing anything
I'm a big fan of mecha musume with motorcycles, so seeing this one go up for preorder was an instant decision for me. It looks so nice, too... the black contrasted with gold and two shades of red looks so sharp. Having two interchangeable forms is so cool, too. I'm always looking forward to what Nuke Matrix releases. It feels like they're following in the footsteps of Megami Device... but going above and beyond what Kotobukiya's willing to do.
I really think why this one is epic compare to others is bcos the shoulder joints and thighs are not "skin" so it doesn't look cheap and ugly, all they need to do is show the cleavage or side boob then it's sold, but they need to mess it up with those ugly skin joints

Nuke Matrix and MS General are gaining ground. Their kits keep getting (and looking) better all the time!
That Centaur mode is sick af!

I love the gimmicks of this kit. I comes with many modes. Thank you for sharing.

being open to being lewd is never unnecessary
Thanks, was waiting for this review. Ordered the kit a while back and hopefully it's on it's way.
this is pretty cool, usually im not a fan of the centuar look but this one pulls it off well

I have this kit pre order already. great review cant wait to build mine
Love the design waiting for mine to arrive also , nice review and they finally include double body 🤩
I've been looking forward to this one. The hair is a bummer though since I was planning to paint this but looking at it completed, I think I'll just leave it straight built. That "more revealing part" made me lol.
All this for $75... I think I am going to start buying these beautiful pieces of Art.
Didn't expect you will review this kit so soon

Kotobukiya is getting beat up for their lunch money by Nuke Matrix lately with these kits.
Haven't gotten around to building this yet, but it looks good. I have everything else they've made and like those, so I assume this one will continue that trend.
The legs, and waist scream Megami Device Susanoo, including the clear red and black bits. Not that it's a bad thing, it just looks quite similar.
Got mine delivered yesterday gonna reserve her for next weekend to build her up cant wait 😊
I love this line. I have the first three. Im missing the shark/ mermaid chick and this one. Theyre so good!!!
Really impressed with this kit!
Still waiting for mine to come in the mail.
Edit : The third Decal with the face plate and the clear runner is for the first press Edition.
8:47 how do you attach the collar/neck thingy? mine is loose.. do you like glued it?
I don’t recall exactly but a lot of times the collar part on these kits is meant to float loosely so that it’s able to move with the neck
I could see the PGR influence this design,especially Alpha & Rosetta 👀
It really does lol. It reminds me of the red Rosetta skin in the CN server.
I need this one just for that awesome Akira/Cyberpunk'esque bike
I was gonna preorder the new Macross VFG kit from Aoshima but I think I just changed my mind
That bike form is so sick.❤
Rapid Raider and Susanoo in one box. 😋
Havent seen this one for sale at my usual hobbystores yet and hlj is charging twice of what it should as is usual for the doyusha published kits.

I like the design, hopefully I can purchase one.

thats a massive box for a smol kit
So uh it seems like you're missing something, where's the review of CF04?
That aside thanks for the review, I took the plunge and got this kit as my first mecha musume kit and really loved it, it certainly looks better than in the video (also the box size is even more massive than it seems)
Love the bike!
Hey, I was hoping you'd review this kit soon
She looks great, would probably get her but my backlog is maaaaassive, in no small part because I keep picking up these very cool Chinese kits that are absolutely enormous. ^^()
Hopefully this one is better then my bunny kit, the plastic in that one crumbled bad, from wrists and torso.
These boxes get bigger with each release. I have 1 though 5 sitting in front of me and each release, the box gets bigger
I have to have this one 😍
She has great expressions
Anyone with this kit figure out why the hip armor was built to articulate but is never mentioned again after construction?
both of my centaur back legs was broken. these things too fragile and i made a mistake.
funny enough Kotobukiya is making a kit of a centaur girl in their ARCANADEA line, granted an actual monster girl centaur and not a mecha musume.
30MS also has a mecha centaur kit, the alka-carti
Any idea what the "first press" version comes with extra? Debating what version of the kit to get.
That's the gadessa's beam cannon lol. Looks cool though.
Looks like i was right to get her. Just need to ship.
u do know how to pose it nicely!
guys is your neck covers floating on your kits????
Can you use the extra parts of the yefuna on Amelia to complete her un armored form?
I wonder if the extra bodies are compatible with other kits
Can you put 30minute sisters hair parts to it?
I was really thinking about grabbing this kit but it's hard for promo images to sell me until I see a review.

is there no first batch bonus?

Just wondering though, how do you even get some of the items into the holding hands? I tried to get the Harpy to hold the guns but couldn't get them into the hands without it feeling like I would risk breaking them.
You gotta stretch the hands a little sometimes. That’s why I don’t mind those being in the softer plastic.
I cannot, for the life of me, get rabbits carrots in her hands
Not to mention this kit is cheap AF. It sells for only $40 in the country where I live. For the amount of parts you get it's totally worth the price.
What type of plastic does this kit use? I plan on detailing this kit with water based paint and brush
Mostly PS plastic iirc. You should have no issues
@@ZakuAurelius thank you for the insight, i just recently bought the kit and ive been watching reviews about this kit before buying one. This is my 1st mecha musume kit so i wanna cover all bases before doing anything
so when is USAGS getting these in, asking for a friend
Not sure but I would imagine very soon! I got this early review release about a month ago!

It looks so nice, too... the black contrasted with gold and two shades of red looks so sharp. Having two interchangeable forms is so cool, too.

I
NEED
IT!
Nice
Centaur ❤️
Das' a big box
BIG GIRL
1st glance i think its just rosseta pgr copy but y not bad copy i like it
*Plays Narwhal*
R these based off of real anime
Nope, just original IP
nuke matrix is killing it lately. Dare I say they're quite above kotobukiya's musume kits in terms of rankings for me.
I really think why this one is epic compare to others is bcos the shoulder joints and thighs are not "skin" so it doesn't look cheap and ugly, all they need to do is show the cleavage or side boob then it's sold, but they need to mess it up with those ugly skin joints
The “normal” armored form has weird proportions, the legs are a little too long
They are, definitely. But that makes it somewhat unique and eludes to the centaur form nicely imo
FAT BOX
I love the Nuke Matrix designs but there's so much in the box they're all about $30 or more overpriced which keeps me from buying them.
This kit is janky as hell irl. Scale is also smaller than MD that its jarring side by side.
Got it for $45 and I still want my money back.
i have been waiting for this one
