Before I pre order this I'm reading you have to paint this? Like do I have to full on paint it pink or it doesn't come pre packaged like Gunpla does. :( Please give me some insight to someone that only does Gunpla. I've never painted a model before. I really really want this!

It should be full pre-colored plastic, but some of the details there will either be stickers or paint needed to finish them up. It shouldn't be too bad as Kotobukiya has really improved the kits from the old Hasegawa ones.

If you want to see what they would look like unpainted, this was the Raiden kit that was released earlier this year. From the looks of it, it should be safe to get and not worry about paint. Maybe just add a flat coat once you're done to get rid of the plastic-look.

Tempted, as I main Fei-Yen on VOOT (heck, ive beaten japanese players on xbox live with her!!) but kotobukiya kits leave me a little cold.

Their level of detail is fantastic, as their armoured core models can attest, and it looks like they solved the articulation problem which was so prevailant in their other kits (SRW kits, I'm looking at you!!!) but the build sequence is so damn fiddly and they have tonned of pointlessly small parts which makes the process a chore.
And FYI, if the Virtual On kits are anything like the SRW ones, then they WILL need touching up. not neccesarily a full paintjob but minor detailing is a must

I wonder if that Viper model is still around. I know it's probably not but I must go check...

These models are infamous for having loads and loads of wet on decals! if you have some clear coat spray though, you should be fine.

@Andres Cerrato ou sankyuu for that information! I already went and pre ordered her. She's a must have for me! I can do small details but not heavy paints.

Those would be the old Hasegawa kits. I'm really glad that Kotobukiya was able to take the license.
