    I had collected all of those 12th scale figure kits by Imai but I sold them all at Book Off a year or so ago because I realized that I would never get around to ever building them. Proportions aren't very good, the hair looks a bit flat, etc. Hikaru's supposed to have messy cowlick hair but the figure's hair looks pretty tame. 

    I did keep my Bandai Macross Girl. The actual kit doesn't look as nice as the box art, but it's alright, I guess. It's made from that heavy, solid ABS plastic that those early '80s Tsukuda figure kits came in. It's not styrene. Plus it came with stickers. I scanned the sticker sheet and printed them onto clear laser printer decal paper. The engine bells on the fast pack are solid, so instead of trying to hollow them out with my router and make a mess of them, I think I'll just cut them off and use some replacements from Kotobukiya's Modeling Support Goods line.

    You can see an unboxing of this kit on my Tumblr feed here:

    I agree but I love the packaging. They gave Misa a chubby face.
