Welcome to the fun, the treasure hunting and overall shinki greatness!

Hello,

I just recently ordered my first BS MMS figures, here's the list:

Starf Mk II Full Package
Strarf Devil Mk II Full Package
Espadia
Lancamento
Lirbiete
Vervietta
Werkstra
Vitulus
Naked Blank Body (Black)

I hope to take parts from all these BS and merge them into a massive armored suit for 1 single pilot- should be a pretty fun project. ^_^

Welcome, Prime0080! That's quite a list you got there. Don't forget to show us your work in the Show and Tell forum once you're done!

Hi guys, I'm new here from China (but now live in Canada).
So sad i only have one Shinki, the Arnval mk.2 Tempesta FA, I call her Ariel:


I also have a few FAGs: Jinrai, Stylet, Materia, and a Megami Device 01, and a few figmas.
As a (self-claimed) tech nerd, I just ordered a Cradle and thinking of putting an Samsung 850 Evo SSD into it. It's a shame that all it do is lit up when u plug it into ur computer.
So, nice to meet you all!
P.S. I've noticed in the account registration process, it asked me "The number of Shinkis owned" and "The number of MMS owned". Which begs the question, aren't they the same thing?

welcome to the forum!

MMS is pretty much the base body (that also was used on other IPs as well, like gurren lagann and skygirls)

by the way you should shrink the images a bit...

Welcome to the forum!

(In another note those pictures are huge lol)

Hey! I'm new here, so I figured I'd best say hi.

I saw Shinkis on Flickr about 4 years ago, but only managed to get my first back in September. I have 5 now: Howling, Juvisy, Strarf, Benio and Renge.

Hi, everyone!

CTHULHU STRIKES!

Long-time model builder, fan of sci-fi, anime, motorsports, aviation and space exploration.

I actually became a fan of this series in a rather roundabout fashion. I've always enjoyed building articulated model kits, mostly from the Bandai GUNDAM universe. And my first Shinki-style kit was an ancient Gundam Girl garage kit from the 1980's.

After I got hooked on the Xenosaga VG series, I took a chance on Kotobukiya's KOS-MOS V1 and V4 kits. I was a little nervous because the last Kotobukiya kit I got was a Five Star Stories-Knight of Gold (circa 1990), and, as cool as that mech looked, the kit itself was rather clunky.

Well, Kotobukiya had improved a great deal in 20 years, so I looked further into their product line. Frame Arms Girls and Megami Device made great shelf-mates for KOSY. And, due to Kotobukiya's crossover kits, I discovered Alice Gear, and Busou Shinki.

So, my first "official" Shinki is Jaeger Edelweiss. And with the promise of a Busou Shinki VG reboot, as well as Kotobukiya's hints about kits-to-come, I'm hoping to add Arnval and Strarf (MK 1 versions) to the line-up as soon as they become available.

Really hoping for a Eukrante kit release, too!

Best wishes to all!
