discussion Bandai 1/12 Star Wars Imperial Stormtrooper

oh boy this is something ive wanted since I was a wee boy and it's really detailed


As you can only get these from Japan ( I don't see the marketing reasons behind that bit of nonsense) all the instructions are in Japanese even their web site is in Japanese so I dint even know if this is a snap kit or a glue kit


But I can say this is a posable figure and comes with two sets of decals water slide and peel off so I supose it can be a toy as well as a static piece of art


Thing I like most about this kit is you don't have to paint it it comes with very nice shiny plastic pieces , I think I will give the black under suit a coat of semi matt clear though as its too shiny


So here is the sprue shots View attachment 100060

Well it's a snap kit which is good as there is no chance of glue spillage

Well for me it was £25 for the kit and about £15 p&p but that's to England so it might be cheeper for you Aaron as NZ is closer to Japan
