Well it was “the Cramps” song that
I thought of when I saw these figures – they seem to be resistance lasses
packing some ready-made retribution in 1/35th scale – check out their
vitals in this preview
Made by Japanese company Modelkasten they look
promising on the boxart – but I think after looking harder you might have to be
a pretty good painter to get them best out of them! They are an interesting
subject though so we thought they warrant a look.
There is a pretty ropey description and I have fought
through it to try and give you the features as I can identify them..
1/35 Scale machine Gun Girls - 3 Girls Vol.1
Part No: F-3
Price:1,800 yen + tax
Sculpted & painted by: Yoshitaka Hirano
Package illustration: Onishi and future
The figures are an injection moulded copy of the resin kit
that was offered for sale last year – there are twenty one parts on one sprue –
The girls unfortunately do not have their own guns so you
will need to supply them with something to blast off with from your own stash –
a shame really! I suppose the MG’s could be any type though.
They are “interesting “ looking – interesting meaning I suppose I'm glad I wasn’t around in those very hard times… if you know what I mean! Maybe they just need a little better painting to bring out the best in them.
They look pretty much like they are all about to get blown
over….
A different subject that would make an interesting diorama piece
they are available from Modelkasten now.
