Kotobukiya Frame Arms: NSG-25y Strauss:RE2 Plastic Model Kit, Multicolor

The Kotobukiya Frame Arms: NSG-25y Strauss:RE2 Plastic Model Kit has garnered mixed reactions from customers, revealing both its appeal as a complementary piece and frustrations related to its design. While many hobbyists appreciate the intricate design and the overall aesthetics of the model, the build experience has brought forth several issues. One of the main criticisms concerns the feet of the model; rather than a secure peg-in-place design, they simply slip on, resulting in a frustratingly loose fit that often leads to them detaching during assembly or play. This issue extends to the model's shoulder joints, where the armor can cause ball joints to pop off easily, making posing a tedious challenge. Additionally, reports of fragile connectors snapping during assembly have dismayed some builders, suggesting quality control may be a concern. Despite these drawbacks, many builders still find value in the kit, particularly appreciating how it functions as an expansion to the Kobold model. When combined, they create a visually striking and dynamic piece, making the Strauss:RE2 a worthwhile investment for those who own the Kobold. However, potential builders are advised to keep glue handy to secure loose parts, especially if they want a more stable figure. Overall, the Kotobukiya Frame Arms: NSG-25y Strauss:RE2 offers a blend of aesthetic appeal and functional challenges, proving to be more satisfying as part of a greater assembly than as a standalone kit. **
