BANDAIHobby - Pokémon - 08 Mimikyu, Bandai Spirits Pokémon Model Kit

As the final evolution of the Kalos starter Froakie, Greninja is a sleek and cool ninja frog that can create water shurikens to battle its foes. I’ll just say it now, Bandai knocked it out of the park with this model kit. Not only is a very accurate depiction of the Ninja Pokemon, but it may even be probably the best Greninja figure that is out there.The kit itself will probably take around 30-40 minutes to assemble, as compared to a few of the previous kits in the series, this one has a few more parts that make it more intricate. It also has a few stickers that need to be put on before putting the parts together, and this is especially true for its hands and feet. The instructions will definitely come in handy when placing the stickers in the correct order and areas. I would highly recommend to do the hands and feet first, because that may take up most of the time and is the most tedious with the stickers of you aren’t careful. But aside from that, it is very simple to assemble and looks amazing when put together.Now you may come across an extra leg, a foot, a hand with detachable fingers, a blue blade and shuriken, at a white wedge. These are extra parts for him when it comes to posing and displaying it. The blue blade has a slot in it to go on the detachable fingers peg and then that can be put on the extra hand for it to be a hand that holds the blade. Switching the hands is not hard at all because all you have to do is pull it out, no twisting, and pop the other hands peg into the hold at the end of the arm. In addition to this, its normal hands have holes in them to hold the water shuriken since it has a peg. Just push it in and it holds it. Just like the hands, the feet can peg in too, just pull them out and switch them. The extra leg is more angled to help put it into a crouching pose. Just slide the leg out from the knee joint and push the other one on in, however it can only go into it’s left knee. The white wedge is for stability and all you have to do is slide it on the foot, but I have not needed it as it can stand very very well on its own.This Greninja kit stands at about 4.9 inches, perfect for anyone who enjoys 1:12 scale figures, as he displays perfectly with Tomy Froakie and Frogadier. It is the same height as the Tomy Ash, Greninja, and Ash-Greninja action figures. The Jazwares battle feature Greninja is quite small in comparison to it. It stands great next to other model kits in its line like Gengar and Lucario, and is great height next to the Jazwares Select Charizard figure. I unfortunately do not have the Jazwares Select Greninja, but I feel like this figure is the perfect replacement to it. I’ve seen that the Selects Greninja is too big, about a head bigger than the kit, and can’t stand up on its own, but this Greninja kit is light, can stand in its own, and has more display and posing options.If you look at my pictures you’ll probably be saying, “Why does his have two blades and angle legs than mine.” Don’t panic, it’s not because your kit came missing parts, it’s because I bought a second one. I had one for a few months now and wanted to buy a second one to have a second head to have its closed eyes, another fist/blade had, and another crouching leg (that I modified the new knee to work). I love this kit, so much so that I wanted to make sure I was getting all of the posing possibilities and looks out of it. Not only that, if anything every breaks (which I don’t think it will since it feels pretty sturdy) I have extra parts just incase to fix it. This model kit feels more like a Figma or an SH Figuarts than a kit after it is assemble and I keep it on my work desk to pose it all the time.I truly recommend this kit. I bought it twice, but you don’t need to, everything that comes in one kit makes for an amazing figure and for any Greninja fans, Ash team displayers, or model kit lovers in general, this is a great kit. My only complaint is the stickers, not that they are bad, but having the two eye options be stickers and not interchangeable does feel a bit off since you’ll be left with a pair of eyes that won’t be used out just overlay the previous ones. But don’t let that detract you from this kit, I was definitely amazed and adore it.

This is a great figurine you can assemble step by step by following the guide but out of all the pokemon figures similar to this, it's very strange.For starters, it has the longest how to assemble guide out of all of the other figurines including rayquaza despite that figure having more parts than this one.It's instructions go front and back for less steps than the other more complex figures making it very disorganized.But the worst issue is involving it's eyes. Unlike other pokemon figures for some reason, this is the only one that gets two different sets of sticker eyes.I already do not like the sticker eyes with these figures due to it is hard to get exactly on the spot you need without having a precise and steady hand.But this one is the worst one with it as it will more likely crumble due to how the face curves.But main issue is removing it after you put the head together if you want to change the eyes because once her hair clips together you can't get it undone easily at all.It is like cracking open a walnut with your barehands trying to get it off.If you use any tool, without a shadow of a doubt, you will scratch or dent the figure.That is how badly it sticks together, which is horrible because you need to undo the hair that you can put on her other set of eyes.They should have just made two different face sculpts with eyes already painted on and have it like a regular anime figurines do that clips onto the face.This figure is meant to be more customizable than the others yet it is the hardest to do so with despite being made obviously for that purpose.I love the figurine but I can't in good conscious say it achieved the goal of being more changeable than the other figurines.The rest is amazing but that part was just not thought out well.

I’ll start with the only negative, Mew is a bit precariously placed on its stand. You can increase (or decrease) this stability based on the tail positioning.Otherwise it is the perfect encapsulation of Mew. It is absolutely adorable in every way shape or form.

It's awesome, perfect, couldn't be happier with it 💯

The arms can be put in many, many poses, as there are two sets; upper arms that are extended at a slight angle or bent, and forearms that extend either straight or bent at the elbow. I do agree with another review that the sticker eyes are a bit annoying as they aren't easy to swap, especially with how the hair is in the way and difficult to remove, but I find that minor. I just wish there were a larger variety of Pokémon available in figures like these.

I was impressed at the build quality. The seams and pieces fit very well. I was expecting to do some tough up work on the parts to trim and tweak them into fitting together. Nope. Parts were easy to roll out of the casting lattices and snapped together just fine. Took about 15 minutes to assemble. The figure stands about 5 inches tall and is pose-able: hands, arms, legs and head. Very nice! Also picked up the Kirby and Picachu models. They were equally as nice and easy to build. I might just have to pick up a few of the other characters they offer in this line.

This was so cute! The most powerful Pokémon mew was so easy to ensemble.I have 2 more Pokémon models so I found this to come to my liking!!!

Liked the snap-together ease of assembly.

Es un poco pequeño, y es armable, solo no le pongo 5 estrellas por que es muy complicado desmontar las bocas trae dos una que solo sonríe y otra que trae la lengua de fuera, la primera es muy complicado quitar y cambiar por la de lengua de fuera, en general se ve bien

Esta muy fácil de armar no requieres herramientas especiales, pegamento ni pintura, yo creo que te tomara 1h armarlo o menos pero esta bonito para tener de decoración vale la pena comprarlo si te gusta Pokémon en general o eres fan de este especifico

Es una figura armable con instrucciones sencillas y las partes que las componen son de calidad; el único detalles que no me gustó es que algunas secciones de color de las 2 figuras son stickers que se tienen que colocar con cuidado para que empaten con la forma de la pieza.

Son de colección, fáciles de armar, sólo que para niños sí son frágiles. Se ven de buena calidad pero al ser armables, si no los pegas, es muy fácil que se desarmen jugando

Un artículo fácil de armar y de muy buena calidad, superó mis espectativas. Al separar las partes de la placa base no deja "pestañitas" de plástico o son muy pequeñas. El único problema es que no hay un "clic" entre la figura y la nube que le debe soportar, entonces dificulta un poco el acomodo, pero fuera de eso estoy muy satisfecho con el producto.
