Figure Rise Standard Kaiju No.8 Shinomiya Kikoru Review
Retail: 4000 Yen
Date: 15th June 2024
So here we go again guys! Another Figure rise standard kit, the second Kaiju no 8 kit in the series and as always, all you’ll need are some plastic side cutters, your trusty hobby knife of choice and thats it! Of course you can always go all out and paint up your model kit or even seal up those seam lines with some hobby cement, but Ill leave that up to you! For this review, Ill just be showing you guys what you get out of the package, stock as a rock, here we go!

I just love that we have options for kaiju no.8. The model kit looks great even tho it has some minor inconveniences in the articulation, but I can look over that because it can still pose. Lovely review, sir, eighty-sixed, very nice.

[@eightysixedreviews]

Thank you my man always for you contributions!

I've only built like one model kit from what I can recall (it was an old Charizard with light up features) but this looks really nice, especially for model kit! Wonderful review as always :)

I like how the shoulder pads move with the shoulder and arms unlike the SHF. This is more accurate to the manga/anime.

[@hystericx167]

Such an amazing review! This kit looks awesome

[@iPlayWithTOYz]

I initially thought this was the Figuarts but still a great review! 👍

[@royal5922]

Thanks for the review I didn't know this existed and scaled well with the shf. I might get this instead of the shf since i like putting together model kits and this one looks awesome.

[@Shiro-Works]

I think i'm going for that figure-rise!! 😅 Looks so good!!

[@mrdude88]

I’m not good with water decals but I love model kits because they are easily customizable.

[@Rockchala_YT]

She is looking really good!

[@DomitriCervantes]

Even as water decals the faces do seem better than the shfiguarts one

[@rcarlom9882]

Would be nice if we could see if she looks ok without the hair fangs.

[@eightysixedreviews]

I’m tempted to snip them off

[@lazergator1016]

She's beautiful! but I hate doing water slide greeaaaaaat personally dry transfer decals are my jam also I see you have some plastic cement hahahah now remove the seams and paint IT! Question is this figure rise the same solidity as the new spec goku figures rise!

[@androyus]

Dry-transfer decal is difficult to apply in curvy surface though. It's already a lot of work to apply on Zaku shoulders, let alone anime faces.

[@eightysixedreviews]

She’s definitely up there! But yeah, I think I’ll put a bit more work into this line than I usually do, not because it needs it but because I’m having a lot of fun with it!

[@lazergator1016]

@@eightysixedreviews Same too! it's just annoying to remove the seams since it requires sanding like a lot hahahaha

[@Bernkastel835]

Can an Amateur Build This? Cause I'm Planning On Buying Kikoru?

Yelp, pretty easy to understand and put yogether

I used to be a Dragon Ball Figure Rise collector, but BANDAI seems to let go the line after the last Vegeta. A real shame

[@rcarlom9882]

They could have made bank if they just made more characters and not just goku vegeta etc. Someone like yamcha would be easy cash grab since its just same gi as goku/gohan with minor changes. Kid goku using gotenks' lower body. Heck they could even do obscure ones like Launch. Ppl would consume them up.

@@rcarlom9882 agree 100% buddy

[@adrianrile9188]

Shf is pretty mid as expected
