Already preordered this. I love it. I hope to see some more Phantasy Star goodies somewhere down the line, but this is a nice start.
@hito, hopefully you dont have to paint it. As long as it comes with some base colors and stickers like a Gundam then I'm fine. I'm not too familiar with kotobukiya model kits though.
It's fairly cheap though, so if you like it, might as well give it a shot.

Looking forward to this kit. :D pre-ordered mine as soon as I saw it on HLJ.

If it's anything like Kotobukiya's HoiHoi-san kit line, the pieces ought to be cast in color with very little need for decals or paint.

I thought there was already a post regarding this.
Nevertheless, don't expect it to be like a Bandai kit; you'll often need glue with Koto kits, due to it often being frustrating trying to pose them with bits flying off.
Also, don't expect perfect colour accuracy; Kotobukiya still means for their kits to be painted (although they're beginning to combine the worst of both worlds; decals attached with no spares, and awful colouring? Thanks Kotobukiya!).
Still, nice looking model. Koto has let me down in the past though, so I'll hold off until Dalong throws up a review. I'm not going to go through a repeat of Baldr's Fafnir again...

Base colors usually look dull. And whenever I take the pieces out of the tab or whatever I either rip off too much or too little of the tab, then I have to fill it with sculpy and sand and repaint or I use my exacto knife and sand and have to repaint. So that's my issue. If the pieces were just pieces in a box I had to assemble, no problem, but if they are in sheets, no way.

Pre-ordered it long ago. Looks freaking fantastic. Hoping that it's easy to assemble, since I don't know a lot about model kits.
