>>56491604Let's think about it with something like plamo. There's no real "wrong" or "right" way to build them. Some people just put them together out of the box without cleaning out the nubs, some people sand them down and then leave the kit as it is, some people paint them to make them look more like the promo pics, some people fully change the colors altogether and some people mix the parts with different kits to make something new altogether.
Ultimately it doesn't matter what other people do with their kits because it's their experience and they had fun with it in their own way. There's no objective way they HAVE to do it for it to feel satisfying to them. If they want to make a hot pink Pikachu or Gundam or whatever then let them be.
