Action Figure Bandai Star Wars Model Kit 1/12 Scale General Thread

[canofhumdingers]

Well, I’ve heard reports that several of the latest 1/12 kits only have stickers and even the reissue of the perfect grade millennium falcon is clearly listed as only having stickers, no water slides.

It’s an alarming trend to me because I want to build a bunch of the Bandai kits but haven’t had the opportunity to build anything but the 1/12 stormtrooper so far. And I’m afraid that I’ll wind up with a bunch of kits that have no decals when I *want* to use the decals!

STG - Yes the black finish on the droids looks nice. I like how you hit it with that subtle weathering. Shows well in the high gloss.

Waterslides especially for the vehicles is a must. That?s a bummer if true. I had to check after I read your post since he last kit i picked up was the PG Falcon (last year)... luckily it has the waterslide decals.

Check the listing for the new reissue, “stickers instead of decals.”

Ahhh... I believe that the standard only comes with stickers and the limited edition comes with waterslides (or both) as well as the lights and other figures.
Damn the standard is much more expensive now. I paid way less for the LE when they first reissued it.

 

[canofhumdingers]

The standard comes with lights too. But yeesh, $350 for a styrene model kit and it comes with flipping stickers?! SMH...

Edit:
The version Sideshow is selling for $400 comes with lights anyway. The BBTS listing isn’t as clear...

Forgot the other kit comes with the photo-etched parts but damn that?s twice as much as the kit originally was ($200)!

Beautiful shots STG and nice dio pieces. Did you build those? I especially like the moisture vaporator box and your cantina lighting setup is spot on!

Thank you! No these are sold by Dagobah_Customs on Instagram and Facebook (who collaborated with Figureworks on the same platforms)

I think this is one of the best 1/12 or 6" Kylo out there. So easy to put together too. I actually have no prior model kit experience. And its only $20

 

[dukefett]

Nice! I didn't build the Kylo kit, but love most of the other ones I have done. I hope they continue with the line.

I would like them to revisit RO: Krennic?s Imperial Shuttle and TIE Reaper are my most wanted ships right now.

This is my first Kit I put together and it was a blast. Im use to 1/6 scale but this was way more challenging painting this scale.
