    Less of a shitpost commet, but I'm really excited for more of these "mecha doll" style kits and designs; since the designers are allowed to embrace the weird robot-ness of the character, it means things like armor gaps, inhuman segmentation, and multiple joints (like the wrists) can be combined to give a much wider range of motion. Compared to the Buster, it seems like Megalomaria is 100% focused on articulation first; resembling a human is secondary. I think that's a very good thing in this case.

      I am big into full on robo doll styles. Frame Arms Girls and Megumi Device get close with mecha parts on girls but this is just what we need. It gives Metallice Rouge vibes with the whole armor form

    My hype for the Megalomaria line is real. Kotobukiya is rapidly becoming my #1, mainly with the inter-compatibility. I just bought that hand scale Magatsuki you reviewed the other day because I want to put it with my Hexa Gear kits... maybe put her in the forklift for laughs.
    Koto, it seems, is just about having some fun... and that's really goddamn cool.

    I guess in-universe Megalomaria is a Tokusatsu superhero show in the vein of Kamen Rider with one of the Sousai Shoujo character playing the role.

    Glad to see koto finaly got on the moveable eye tech train, saw them on Snail Shell girls and they look fantastic.

    Dude thats badass! I like the non mask form with the long hair the best! Cute kit!

    The eye parts articulation makes me think back of Revoltech Yamaguchi's Solid Snake eyeball picking tools although still amazing feature for a small figure.

    Just got one ordered, can't wait to build her.

    Can't wait to get the Ruby Eye and Novice kit next! I also just built this kit and Im so surprised. Insane articulation and just such a cool design. Super excited to see more and more from this line.

  • @MuShinnen

    Time to get a few of these to kitbash with some frame arms kits. Wanted this the minute it was announced.

  • @angelarch5352
    @angelarch5352 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Wow! that's the most amazing articulation ever! I hope this body-joint system is used more in the future.

  • @chunli_enthusiast
    @chunli_enthusiast 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Such a cool concept, it reminds me of this show that’s currently airing called metallic rouge

  • @henryfleischer404
    @henryfleischer404 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Yeah, I'm pretty excited for this line, especially Ruby Eye. Still, I've gotta finish four kits before I build that one- Tsugumori, a Mobile Movementress kit, HG Gelgoog, and HG Guncannon. I actually got the Mobile Movementress kit due to suspecting without evidence that it influenced this line. And because I like it.

  • @ShinKatto
    @ShinKatto 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Yoo! You finally got her. Honestly I’m hyped for this line as a whole, the articulation on these things are crazy. And as usual, modular out the butt. Building up ruby eye atm. I’ll say tho that even though it’s just flavor text, the story isn’t vibing with me from what I learned about it. Probably cooler to see them as kinda programs from tron like beings

  • @NekoNinja13

    This kit looks lovely 😍

    What a beautiful kit!

  • @BLAZE084
    @BLAZE084 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The design and color scheme are very interesting. I’ve only built a single mechamusume kit but this one seems very tempting for the articulation and balance alone. Cool review ✌🏽😎

    @yanukan 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Very cool Tokusatsu like looking kit. Would be lots of fun swapping parts from the shoujo kit line.

  • @mafiuyu4305
    @mafiuyu4305 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Yeah adding a drop of yellow or white paint for the iris of the movable eyes makes such a difference in expression of the face.
    Also adding chrome or silver behind the normal clear eyes makes it a lot more alive as well and gives the eyes more depth.

    👏 Your review made me want to get my own Megalomaria! 🎁

    very nice. Good to seem them getting one step closer to flametoys

    I've been wanting to make a kind of 'prototype' robot figure body with a mostly white/grey body but Im too terrible at painting. I picked up this figure and am planning on swapping the colored parts with the white/off white parts from the PENETRATOR Megalomaria figure when it releases (which incidentally is white where this kit is colored and vice versa). I was kind of inspired by the TOA synthetic human figure. I also wanted a alternate human looking head that would fit with the aesthetic so I got a Frame Arms Girl kit, mostly for the head but figured I could use the mecha parts as accessories.

    I just finished Ruby Eye last week, my first into this line. The only things that I really wish they included were 1. toe bend, and 2. back and forth neck joint. The shoulder armor pieces on Ruby Eye does restrict her articulation a little unfortunately.

  • @rpbattleman

    All I hear is that I can jojo pose these kits even better than usual

      On that note, I can’t believe I didn’t try the Jack-O pose!

  • @Sherrydile
    @Sherrydile 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I love the design of these, but I'm having a hard time deciding one which one I want to get.
    For the hair, you mentioned it's compatible with their SST line, but can you use Megami Device or Frame Arms Girl hair instead?

  • @FreakGeSt
    @FreakGeSt 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Literally mecha armor for the Sousai Shojo kits lol.

  • @reijigamer
    @reijigamer 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    with Kotobukiya's in-universe story for this kit could this lead to an anime/manga/video game/movie/etc. series? also if Kotobukiya had media related to their IPs would that allow them to gain funds to increas kit production?

    I don't collect any of these anime "doll" types, it's just not my thing. But, this one actually looks very neat, I'm always interested in cool and innovative engineering, I might pick this one up!

    I'm curious how well these will hold up over time. Whether they hold poses and weight, or end up a floppy mess.

      Kotobukiya kits are generally tight anyway and not to tighten up either way.

  • @ChamberK-1
    @ChamberK-1 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Love the design but not a fan of the yellow/orange-ish colors. Definitely gonna paint mine when it arrives.

    • @ZakuAurelius
      @ZakuAurelius  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      What?! Blasphemy! This is the ‘ultimate color scheme’ as demonstrated by my RG Sinanju build! 😆

    • @ChamberK-1
      @ChamberK-1 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ⁠@@ZakuAureliusI just watched that and to be fair that build does look absolutely AMAZING, I’m just more partial to darker tones and cooler hues like blue and purples lol.
      How did you get that matte look on that Sinanju build btw? I’m assuming some kind of matte top coat?

    Love the new engineering quirks. But I still feel she's too skinny.
    And the face isn't for me I think.
