- Here's Iris from the VLOCKer's Fiore line of mecha musume kits from Volks. This is my first time building one of these and it was an interesting experience.

VOLKS has an official US webstore so not difficult to get those in the States.
This needs some serious upvotes. I've never known this.
@@ExDragonMaster They've got a rather odd assortment of kits as well. Worth a look at the least~
Thanks for the tip! Much appreciated.
Yeah their American HQ is located in southern California! Check their website for awesome paints and supplies like the god hand nippers!
Yep. tho I mostly buy Dollfies from there...
I wish I had the confidence Zaku has when he openly shows off his ecchi kits
It’s a model kit, not pornography
I picked up one of the Fiore kits at Volks in Akihabara on my last trip. I was initially reluctant because of the price, but when I got home and was building it I was pretty surprised at how nice it was-- especially because I was given some limited clear parts from a promotion. I'll most likely pick up one or two more on my next trip.
This kit is LEagues better than every other Fiore kit prior to this one. I have no issues with my kit. I absolutely recommend people get THIS vlockers kit and pass on the others.
Thigh Seam
got any tips on how to get rid of this seam?
I was going to try the: plastic cement + squish + sand away. approach
but the thigh parts are apparently ABS not PS, so they don't weld together for that to work
Volks mecha kits are probably like underrated, people rarely mention them so I don't know what level of quality they have, my first time hearing them is through their Duel Knights kits.
great vid man keep it up
This kit is epic
Just Built This. Question?
I notice she's got some odd X-shaped accessory peg holes
but none of the included parts actually use them, instead defaulting to round pegs like other companies.
What's up with that?
is that an attempt at trademarking their own standard, but Volks gave up or something?
What do you think about the 1/100 and the 1/144 real gundam kits and will you be buying them to review?
Possibly the 1/100
a more busty-baselard version maybe. heheh
If you do want to paint it, skin tones always go frosted/matte coat like in figma skin layer quality instead of that semi gloss plastic.
I'm on the fence with this one. The design looks cool, but kits like these are pretty rare over here, and if it goes for around the same price as say, Arachne 2.0, I'd probably go for Arachne instead.
Funnily enough, just last night I found out why the manuals are sometimes bagged xD I opened up my WISM Assault/Scout kit to find that the manuals color had bleed all over the bottom and sides of the box! Everything else was fine, thankfully.
Nice review, always wanted to try a kit like that.
Never even heard of this model producer before. Sounds like their stuff might be fiddly and definitely pricey, but it's always nice to see new options
They have existed since 2005 or before
Definitely not new, its kinda like auldey in china, its might not be internationalized, but they make good product
@@somechinesedude5466 new to me anyway. I guess since they're really not an internationally marketing company that's why I haven't heard of or seen their products before.
whoa this is legit cool!
Got this because I love the design but she is absolutely a grenade. The tiny pieces connecting her hair to the head broke on mine. Still trying to figure out a fix for that.
Nice looking kit, hopefully glue solves the falling apart problem though. One question, what bases/stands do you use for frame arms/kotobukiya kits? Ive been searching for stands but havent been sure what one to get; some kits are heavier than others and i’d rather not get a weak stand and regret it later.
1/144 or anything that is still 20 cm tall & 20 or 30 cm width, bandai action base 5 & 6 will do
On 1/100 that starts to 40cm & 50 cm in either width & tall, you can use bandai action base as a wall or poles that toy will lean on
Anything above 60 cm will require a specific stand or 1/6 doll stand
Kotobukiya stand are nifty, but its too expensive & fragile for its price, the multiple arms stand cost as much as regular RG kit, its great to have it, but you can do just the same with action base 5 & 6 bandai & have many more left over to play around, take it or leave it
good to know, thanks 👍
Figma and figma style stands work great, i got a 3 pack from goodsmile that works great
Off the top of my head Nidy 2D did the character design for Asra Ninja/Archer and Phantasy Star Online Gene as well as the boxart for Stylet AIS color. He is credited for "illustration" of Iris but I am pretty sure it includes character design and not just boxart as this kit reflects his style while the previous two looked mostly like VLOCKer's kitbashed with a girl. Also, there is a VLOCKer's action base with 4mm peg but it is terrible and I do not recommend it.
Will you review both of your Gene? The Stellainnocent and Stellatears.
Yep
I’m tempted to buy this kit
One nitpick: why not compare with an actual FA girl or megami device kit?
Finally a Volks kit
Where can I buy this kit at? Can't find it on Amazon Japan.
You can find it on their original website. Just google "volksusastore hobby" and it's the second link website.
Eidy Bambang thanks for letting me know.
Not too much of a fan of Nidy2D's designs, but a custom paintjob of this sounds interesting
how is the plascit quality on this? is it on the same level as kotobukiya or is it more like the Cat kit?
More like the cat I suppose
Shoulders from Behind look nicer than Megami Device
Is the kit option parts also 30mm?
It's actually 40mm. Volks uses 40mm and weird X plugs for "exclusivity" reasons.
Idk. she looks like a Megami Device, the bright yellow hair reminds me more of A.t.k girl.🤔
The face does have that American attempting Japanese anime sort of feel, it's off in some way
Lol yesss
i miss your old nostalgic intro
Every time I've gone to conventions and walk by Volks' booth, I never get interested by these Vlockers kits and go straight to the FSS stuff...
Their mecha-looking Vlockers models look way worse than this one, imo. They look like bootleg Bionicle kits tbh...they're pretty pricy too.
