>>10066338>I've messed with a built 2010's(?) koto RACaseal before, and it felt worryingly light and flimsy, is that a universal thing or what?Nah, we've come a long way since then, the RACaseal pretty much were among the first attempts to make robo girl plamos. Most current kits are quasi-12th scale and would be a solid eight foot would you actually scale them up, so they don't suffer the issues that come with being a scale kit of a much smaller girl. The design of the hinges has also genereally been reworked to make them more rugged and the bodies.
Limbs usually use 3mm plugs, so they're relatively freely interchangable between the lines and they all are in a general size range where you can hybridize them with 1/144 Bandai and 1/100-1/18 koto robot kits.
The Bandai girls, if you can get any of them, have the upside of being cheap but they come with nothing. The Megami kits have better face plates and armour, the FAGs are kinda middle of the road with less faceplates but enough armour. The first two of that line had pretty terrible wirsts though, many folks straight up switched those out for magnets.
The chinese lines (other than Hunter's Poem) are comparable with current FAG/MD kits and use many of the same mold and solutions for the girl parts.
I don't own any of the Macross girls, but Ranka's ass tech was among the best and they generally seem acceptable.
The Volks line started off on a really bad note, as their base girl was rickety as heck, which put her out of competition even though she came with a lot of really cute face plate. They fixed their issues with the last couple kits and they're probably the way to go if you got a hair fetish as they offer the best hair pieces. Their kits tend to be a bit toyific.
The Assault Liliy company's going to put a girl out in the near future, but what we saw looked like an okay first attempt rather than something that can actually run with the pack.
