The fastest review with full concentration! I made a plastic model "Oni no Mokei: Kamakado Sumijiro" which is full of the latest technology from BANDAI SPIRITS!

From the TV anime "Demon Slayer," which is currently being shown in theaters, "Demon Slayer: Infinity Train Arc," a plastic model of the main character Tanjiro Kamado, "Kimetsu Model Tanjiro Kamado," has been released by BANDAI SPIRITS. BANDAI SPIRITS has released a plastic model of the main character, Tanjiro Kamado. Akiba Research Institute is the first to review this product! Akiba Research Institute will be the first to introduce its charms!

So, let's open the package with full concentration!

There are 8 runners. The parts configuration is simple due to the fact that it is a fixed model, but because there are so many molded colors, you can create a colorful finish almost exactly as in the settings just by patching the parts together.

The highlight is the face parts.

All of them are molded colors.

The scar on Sumijiro's forehead, his eyebrows, and his eyes are all reproduced using "layered injection," a technology that insert-molds multiple layers of colors onto a single part. The eyes, in particular, have transparent parts layered on the surface to reproduce the powerful eyes and shine. You can't help but look at them.

The fit is also very good, and the parts snap into place with a great feeling.

Also, Sumijiro's haori has an impressive green and black checkered pattern!

The checkered pattern on the haori is painted precisely. This painting is also very well done.

The back of the haori parts are stamped with numbers, so you can avoid the situation where you are not sure which parts are attached to which parts when assembling. This attention to detail is wonderful.

Small parts such as the earrings and the noseband of the sandals are handled with stickers. Even the backs of the zori, which are usually invisible, have not been skimped on.

Since there are many small stickers, tweezers make the work easier.
The "滅" on the back and the noseband of the zori are especially important. If you stick the stickers along the mold, they will look better.

It took an hour and a half of crackling assembly ....... It is completed!

Of course, no glue is used, it is a snap-fit kit.

It looks cool!

You can feel the spirit of Sumijiro, who is about to slay the ogre by slouching down.

The overall height is about 120mm. It is quite a large figure, and you will feel a sense of satisfaction when you finish it.

The amazing thing about this product is that you can feel the attention to detail that shines through in places that you would not notice unless you look carefully.

First of all, both ankles. Although the model is not movable, the ankles are ball-jointed, allowing the angle of the ankles to be adjusted for ground contact when displaying the figure.

The chest area is hidden by the jacket and arms, but stickers are also provided on the inside of the uniform to recreate parts that cannot be seen without peeking into the chest area.

The character "滅" on her back can be glimpsed through the fluttering haori, but stickers have been applied even to the parts that cannot be seen.

The hair is made up of multiple parts, and the complex shape is reproduced without any trouble.

Incidentally, I was impressed by the fact that the hair parts have a fine gate (where the parts are connected to the runner), which makes the marks as inconspicuous as possible.

The tsuba (brim) of the Nichirin Katana has also been properly opened. This is a detail that was carefully considered.

Looking at the finished product, I noticed that the parts are constructed in such a way that the dividing lines are not noticeable, which really impressed me.

The parts are divided along the lines of the deep part of the chin, the fingers, the edge of the pants, and the checkered pattern on the haori, and unless you look at it very carefully, you will not notice them.

In summary, BANDAI SPIRITS' super technology and hospitality have been generously invested in this kit, which is unquestionably recommended.

The kit has a relatively small number of parts and can be assembled in a snap to produce a finish that is on par with the original setting, so even beginners who do not normally build plastic models can easily get to grips with it.

First of all, I inked the model to enhance the details, and painted the blade of the sunken sword metallic. I also tried staining to evoke the image of a fierce battle, and ...... stimulated my desire to create! It will be fun depending on your skills.

I would love to display not only Nezuko, but also other popular characters such as Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Pillar of the Oni-killer Squad, as well as have them face off against demons to recreate battle scenes!

BANDAI SPIRITS, please make a series of "Kimetsu models"!

By the way, we used Mineshima's "Bipper Tool Kit" for this production. The kit includes tweezers, a sticker stick, and a flat file, all of which are useful tools for building the "Kimetsu Model Tanjiro Kamado!

We highly recommend this set together with the official nippers "Entry Nipper" currently on sale from BANDAI SPRITS.
