Yeah, so I know there's a few other here that likes Konamis busou shinki figures. *uncomfurtable silence* eh... I was hoping to start something simmilar to the revoltech thread... Maochao slideshow... EDIT: Cosmo has set upp a list of all the sets. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showpost.php?p=1531277&postcount=117
Hmmm, the video is a good idea (though the song made me cringe, but don't worry, I am a cranky old man). The toy looks alright, like Amdrivers, but with anime girl head.
Forgot to mention! Official homepage: http://www.busou.konami.jp/ And you don't only get the toy, you also get access to an online game! Although the package states that the service isn't available outside japan, you can if you have the patience access it. The service isn't directly "locked" to others, it's just not translated
I can only assume these to be lesbian sex robots. I want one. http://www.youtube.com/v/NrmUiSZjYMg But which would I be..
OK so they are from Konami...Amdriver lives on, then. Those crazy Japanese Hey LoC SW, if you need any help reading something, let me know.
Thanks I'm currently in the progress of downloading the installer (biiiiiiig file) It's realy tempting to stay up tonight and install it But it would be useless when my activation mail for the free konami ID hasn't arrived yet.
Have Dog Howling on order with a comic shop, but going to take awhile, but when I do get it, First pics!
Busou Shinki thread, yay! Very nice slideshow, LoC Soundwave, it captures every single lovely feature of MaoChao. I will participate in this thread very soon myself.
I've got a handful now: Strarf (devil), MaoChao (cat), Howling (dog), Ianeira (mermaid), and the Waffebunny booster set. They're pretty cool figures, but I don't think I really need anymore. Those ring parts in the limbs are really annoying though. I doubt I'll be using the weapon hardpoints much on most of them, so I'll probably just glue those things in.
Any good stores that import these to the states? I kinda dig some of them, but they don't seem super easy to find.
If it helps settle you any, I'm pretty sure that fictionally, they're supposed to be little robot girls or something like that. Like Microman, they're 1:1. The opening FMV for the "game" shows the girls hanging out on coffee tables or bookshelves or whatnot, and staging mock battles against each other. And they're rendered accurately to the figures, with visible joints and whatnot (ditto with the boxart).
at syd. if i was japanese, i'd be like "oh, those crazy us's." those look purdy cool actually. freaky, but cool. wow, the regular ones like the samurai and soldier ones are really cool.
Just finnished updating the game (took two hours) and got to play it... Holy moly it's awesome! The game alone jutifies the 38€ pricetag. The voice acting is excellent, you get a Fubuki for free (not the toy, sorry) when you install it, then you can unlock the rest using the codes included in the boxes. I can tell you that Maochao is one heck off a character, she's cute, energetic and impatient Just makes me love the little girl even more
Yeah, I did that with mine as well. Any hobby store that remotely deals with anime figures should carry them. Big Bad Toy Store and tisinc99 has them as well. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=1135 http://www.tisinc99.com/busoushinki.html Ya know, I never did get around to playing the game. Maybe I should, but there's the issue of not knowing Japanese at all... Did you have any trouble trying to figure out how it works, LoC Soundwave? I was gonna do more Fun-ness strips tonight, but decided to do a random take on Arnval and MaoChao instead :
Nope Not with the help of this walkthrough which describes what most of the buttons do. Getting the required free konami ID on the other hand, was pure HELL! First you need to make sure you have the east asian language support and Jap IME toolbar... Then there's a lot of fields that needs to be filled in... good thing there's an unofficial walkthrough for that to. (first post only) Right now I'm waiting for it to load the studio, where you're supposed to be able to pose the Shinkis you've unlocked and take snapshots of them
I saw some of those at Botcon. Joel had 'em. They look cool, but a little price for my tastes. Might pick some up sooner or later. Why are there 2 different price points on 'em?
