Bandai Hobby - Doraemon - #4 Doraemon, Bandai Spirits Entry Grade Model Kit

Easy to build for my 8 year old, he wishes it moved like a figure but it looks great and he loves it!

Easy to make

Although for some odd reason Amazon decided to slightly overcharge for it (its supposed to be $10 and amazon has it for $12 not a big deal but worth mentioning), this entry grade kit is superb! I'm someone who absolutely never builds ANY model kits, and I hate the idea of having to use all kinds of crap to do so. This line was meant to address lazy people like me who don't wanna dish out extra time or money buying nippers or gundam markers for actual model kit accuracy. Instead, the parts come in 4 riser sections which are clearly labeled, easy to read, and the parts snap together seamlessly. A beginner can definitely assemble this with no issues and THANK YOU BANDAI FOR ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONS! There are step by step clear cut visual guides to constructing the figure and it is hard to mess up. It comes out looking quite nice and authentic to how a decent quality Goku figure should look. Of course, it isn't figuarts levels of quality but it'll do for the price you're paying. Overall, if you're a dragon ball fan and want a fun, quick project then this is perfect for you. Even if you're not a huge fan of DBZ or DBS but you like building stuff, this is also a great purchase, so give it a try.

Awesome quality, fun to assemble.

Decent price for an easy kit. Very simple to put together and looks cute. Being tool-less was a big plus. The bits of plastic from the frames aren't too noticeable.

I've built three slightly more complex robot kits, but still consider myself somewhat of a plastic model kit novice and found this Son Goku kit to be a fun, simple build. It only took about 20 minutes to complete, with absolutely no tools needed. The parts are designed to be pushed off the parts runners by hand easily, and this works perfectly leaving only the tiniest excess nubs, which can be easily smoothed with a fingernail. Stands approximately 6.5" when built, and while not the most detailed, still looks really cool. Fair price, and perfect for beginners, but probably still fun for experienced model kit builders as well.

As a long time plastic model maker I bought this out of nostagia but I am very impressed how well made it is: For the seasoned modeler: This kit is very precise. The mold these came out of is very very good. This kit is essentially a snap together kit which requires no glue, and the tolerance is very good. Pieces fits together snugly and is not too tight that you can't pull them apart, or is too loose you worry will lose them. Even pieces like the nose, tail, and bell do not come off. The way the black "whiskers" fits through the face piece so you don't have to paint it perfect. For new or young modelers: All the parts are modeled in the right color so you don't need to paint it. Parts are keyed with different shapes where they join so you can only put it together one way Unlike most model kits, the connection points between the sprue and the actual part is quite small. You can easily snap them apart without tool, and even after you snap there is very little to clean up. There is very little remain to shave off or sand. If you are really obsessive you could take some sandpaper to it but for most people it is unnecessary. Included decals are for different looks of the eyes If I REALLY have to pick something to improve on, it is that where the white spherical fist meets the body there is a gap because the way the pieces snap fits together it is necessary for the part to have that gap to fit together. It is small enough that it really doesn't matter, but I've included picture so you can see what I'm talking about, but keep in mind it is a close up shot. The other would be the molding line on the upper half of the body, and the parting line between pieces. Again, this is a nostalgia piece for most people, and unless you are extremely picky modeler it would not be an issue, and this is not a kit targeted at extremely precise and picky builders. It is excellent quality to please a seasoned modeler, and simple enough for a newbie to build and get great results. For a simple $10 nostalgic model it is very good quality and excellent value.

Me gustó

工具も接着剤もいらない簡単プラモデル、だけどゼロのポーズはとってもかっこいいです！しっかり自立もします、大満足です！

Figura fácil de montar, preciosa y sin necesidad de herramientas para iniciarse. Pero cómo todo, usandolas le das un mejor acabado, quitando puntas y juntas. También con unos pocos retoques de pintura y panel liner queda espectacular.

この値段ですごくいいプラモデル！ ドラえもんかわいいです。

Avevo già acquistato Vegeta e ho voluto prendere anche Goku per ricreare la perfetta scena di combattimento. Mi sono avvicinato da poco al mondo dei model kit Bandai (ho cominciato con qualche Gunpla), quindi al momento preferisco modellini semplici, per timore di fare disastri. Questo modellino di Goku Super Saiyan Blue si monta che è un piacere: facile, veloce e divertente. In teoria non serve alcun attrezzo per staccare i vari pezzi, ma alcuni potrebbero richiedere un po’ più di forza; il mio consiglio, quindi, è di dotarsi almeno di un taglierino se non si vogliono usare i nipper per modellini, che in ogni caso non sarebbero necessari dato che il modello è un no tool kit. Ottima la qualità delle plastiche: non serve essere dei mastri costruttori per assemblare i pezzi, che sono abbastanza grandi e facilmente gestibili. Il risultato finale è a dir poco spettacolare. Il colore blu dei capelli è molto chiaro, con un effetto quasi blu perlescente, e i dettagli, per essere un modellino a basso costo, sono davvero molto belli. L’unica cosa che mi ha destato qualche perplessità è stata la presenza dei due adesivi da applicare sulla tuta da combattimento, ma fortunatamente è andato tutto per il verso giusto: gli adesivi hanno una buona presa e una buona qualità. Il prezzo è basso, anche se da quello che so dovrebbe essere ancora più contenuto (intorno ai 10–12 euro massimo), ma stranamente viene venduto a qualcosa in più. Ho deciso di prenderlo comunque perché non bazzico molto per fumetterie, quindi va bene così, ma sarebbe bello trovare prezzi più in linea con quelli di mercato.
