Why this is a writer review of figure merchandise? I thought we already got toys and figure column? What was the name again? Astro?

The first thing I read here was that tools like metal clippers and tweezers were required (not provided with the kits themselves, but they were supplied to me for the sake of the review), and I gave an honest try at using the clippers as much as possible for removing the pieces from their frames, but I quickly learned that was not the ideal method. It's still much easier to just pop those suckers out with your bare fingers. Not only is it faster and more fun, but I found myself accidentally cutting some of the plastic off the pieces when using the clippers.

Its always make me facepalm seeing how newbie handle model kit. Other kit like SD Gundam, Yokai Watch or Pokemon dont need to use nipper because it was aimed for kids. The runner gate was designed so you can take off part from runner using your bare hand. Other kit that use similar design was Mega Size grade gunpla. Any other kits you need to use nipper. Even manual show you how to do it correctly. Removing with your bare hand will give uneven surface and you could hurts your hand too unless the kit was design to remove without use any tool.

Astro Toy is long gone, I miss that column, and this article is more of a sponsored review, I think, its just happen to review toy this time.
