thanks! the basic figure itself is around a hguc/hggs kit in terms of height while in their armored forms they're relatively much bigger thanks to the added parts and extension. durability is really great for this line (provided that you're not that reckless) heck you might think they're fragile due to their petite nature but they're not! as for articulation they excel the fraulein and figmas to a certain point! they're really a great line and i personally recommend them if you've got a penchant for cute-yet-deadly stuff!
as for the cost, the light armored ones would cost around 1.8-2.2k while the heavy ones are around 2.6-2.8k...

ah, i'd recommend the arnval tranche 2 - though there arent any significant improvements over the first version, its still better in terms of accessories and gimmicks than the first one. its like a ver.1.5 i'll say. as for the samurai, i got that as well. like all shinkis, its got great posability and detailing - you'll never get bored with it. despite being an "old" release its still good! the most significant difference of the new ones (like the racoon and ferret) is that their bodies are smaller (let's say like a 12-year old) compared to this one (16-18 years old). you can check a review of her here: gamu-toys.info/gangu/konami/busou5/busou5.htmland the knight is nice too! taste.style.coocan.jp/hobby061225.htmmore shinki reviews here: gamu-toys.info/gangubeya/busou.htmltaste.style.coocan.jp/index23.htm |

xentarGo get! ;D Don't hesitate. Each Busou Shinki has been designed by a different artist so if you see one you like. Go for it! ah, i'd recommend the arnval tranche 2 - though there arent any significant improvements over the first version, its still better in terms of accessories and gimmicks than the first one. its like a ver.1.5 i'll say. Actually there are a lot of significant improvements from the version 1 to the Tranche version. One is the color hues of Tranche is slightly lighter than the old one. Tranche is whiter, looks cleaner. Another is the new head parts (additional face and hair parts) and some parts which include the new laser cannon, headgear and additional leg parts. It also noted that there is an improvement in terms of stability of wings and they have stabilizer parts for her accessories. Still, it is good to have the old version for more parts. For Busou Shinkis, more parts are always good. That's what I did with Strarf and Strarf Bis and we get this:   More blades = more fun. That may the best part about this line, unlike others. You don't have the need to throw away the old releases as you can still have fun with them. Now go and try getting one now. ;D

naah.
since im a "one only" and "best of the best" kind of collector for the shinki category, i opted to get the bis (regardless of the custom potential) and dispose of the old version (in which you benefited anyway since its you who got it).
pretty content with the basic configuration anyway and i'll just invest on various weapons for them instead.
