One of the cheapest and simplest things to be elitist about.
You don't need to have skill, taste or artiscism to cut out, polish and paint pre-made pieces of a toy, but then you can go on and brag about it on 4chan and ridicule anons who put even less effort into it than you.

Model Kits may replace collector toys and figures if the industry can't find cheap+skilled labor outside Southern China... Unless the Oil prices surge, which they will.

I built the recent Metal Gear Rex kit. Was fun, too retarded to try to paint it.

you need to use your hands for an actual skill instead of using a keyboard to play model kit simulator

They're great cheaper alternatives to toys if they're made of ABS/PVC/POM

If they're made of PS (like every Bandai kit and most Koto kits) they're more fragile than typical figures and should be treated more like display pieces than something to handle often.

I think getting into model kits even for a shit time is pretty good. There's plenty of resources to help you improve you techniques from high-end solutions to ghetto engineering. If nothing else you'll at least learn how to fix/modify other toys (proper sanding, spru cleaning etc). Plus there so many things only available as model kits if you're autistic enough for a specific character then you really don't have a choice

I don't like model kits much anymore because I've become autistic about durability, so I really only buy Flame Toys kits, but this is by far the most productive thing to come from my old kit building obsession. It is incredibly useful to learn how to fix toys, since models are just toys you assemble.

They aren't great and I only have one that I severely overpaid for, but all ABS makes it feel more like an unassembled Robot Spirits than an HG. More satisfying than some creaky bomb I'll never want to touch.

They're really fun, dude. Whenever I have uni I would build em a portion at a time and I'd stretch a build to a week or two. The time you wanna put into one is all up to you but the more effort and care you put into it the better it'll look. Also it's a small investment buying the tools and whatnot so be warned.

dont be fooled by their low price. theyre hollow inside, and with joints that loosen over time since they arent really reinforced compared to the average action figure

They can easily be the best looking, most dynamic and cheapest toys in your collection given that you give them the proper time and care and you have enough patience to work on them bit by bit. The downside is that they loosen up quicker than a pre-assembled figure and in most cases you will have to waste a good chunk of change on them before you git gud enough to where they reach glass cabinet level as display pieces. When you reach that point, you will also not want to touch them ever again in fear of damaging your work which sort of defeats the point of posing unless you really don't mind it.

The amount of money spent on paints can outweigh the cheap cost, too.

Pretty much what >>8591285 said but I can redpill you on that model kit in particular. Unless I'm very much mistaken, that's the coating version of the Perfect Grade Evangelion, which is an absolute disaster of a kit. The base kit is awful due to being the original PG and coming out in the 90s when Bandai had a fetish for rubber- the armour plugs over a rubber suit that has to be stretched over the "skeleton". It can barely pose and is super fragile. But even worse, that version is pre-coated in paint, which will leave ugly scars where it's clipped off the frames.
Basically, don't do it.

Are you talking about the kotobukiya kit, or is there another one now? I just finished my kit kit that I bought a few years back and feel to incompetent to paint it well myself.
