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!

Absolutely loved it. I assembled it with my nephew and we had so much fun.

Awesome quality, fun to assemble.

Cute Kirby, used it as a cake topper and it was good quality

Easy to assembly, perfect for kids, probably not as execting for older fans.

El preferido de mi nieto hermoso, lleva 6 meses jugando con su muñeco.

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.

awesome model! it took me about 5 minutes to put together, super easy for beginners. i got him bc he looked nicer than other kirby statues, like the pricey amiibos that often have smudgy paint and obvious seams. he is smaller than i imagined, but it ended up working out because i got him to decorate my kirby themed pc build and he’s looks perfect in there. i appreciate that he was made in japan too, it def makes a difference in the quality and thought put into him imo.
