Loads of little parts, kind of intimidating. The casting is spot on as usual with E2046 with no pin holes, bubbles, or casting mistakes. The parts where very well packed for shipping and nothing is broken that I can tell. My kit did not come with any instructions (a problem with a 109 piece kit...) but I messaged E2046 and they sent me digital copies of the instructions right quick. One issue is there is a LOT of flash on most of the small parts. It is kind of to be expected with such small parts in a two part resin cast (parts better designed for plastic injection moulding) but will require a bit of cleanup.
One issue I do have with this kit is the scale is wrong (or the pilot is a midget.) The listed scale is 1/8 but the pilot in the suit is around 1/12 compared to other models from E2046. Its not a big deal but I thought the pilot was 1/8 scale so the suit would be about the size of a 1/4.5 human figure. In reality the suit is around a 1/6 human figure with the pilot inside at around 1/12.
Overall a great kit for those with an interest in both figures and mecha and mechanical details. Also great for any Appleseed fans.

Well it says Appleseed robot but it's not! This is a 1/12 Argyderos with Figure from the Intron Depot books that Masamune Shirow created. A design created for a computer game apparently but based around the idea of the Landmates from Appleseed.
The Mecha kit - WOW!!! 109 pieces!!! I've died and gone to heaven Very Happy I've waited 14 months for this kit to come into stock and now I have it here in front of me I'm not disappointed in the least.
Paper Moon were the originators of this kit and all there lovely detailing is preserved on this recast - If you follow the build instructions to the letter, some of the outer armour can be removed to show the exoskeleton underneath and all of that glorious detailing. Plus with the armour in place you can open / close the chest armour to reveal the pilot (also removable).
The casting of the pieces is good to very good, some pieces will require a little attention but nothing major. This is going to be a very technical build and a good challenge. The painting will play a secondary role to the build on this one.
Incredible stuff, but I still want a "Guges" Landmate from Appleseed! Pretty please!!

This kit was AWESOME! It's not actually from Appleseed, but from Shiro Masamune's "Intron Depot 1" art book. It's called the "Argyderos" and is a drawing he did for a game.
That aside, this kit was A LOT of fun to build! Lots of parts to work with, all of which were cast extremely well and needed a minimum of cleanup. The instructions worked all right, though how exactly a few of the parts and pins fit together is a little odd. When it was all said and done, the chest plates didn't close quite right, but this may very well have been something I goofed up on.
All in all, this kit was DEFINITELY worth $110, and if it's on sale for less than that, GET IT!
Great job on the casting, this was a fantastic kit to build!

FG1355 1/8 Apple Seed Robot
This is one hell of a kit. Simon had to ship this puppy in the BIG strong box. And this is the second one I'm ordering from him too!
This thing is 1/8 scale. The figure looks like it might be on the small side of 1/8. But the robot is on the cool side of big!
Comprised of about 110 parts this bad boy stands a whopping 23cm tall when built. Seems about right for me.
The resin looks good. The cast looks good. Dry fit? Forget about it! I'm not opening these sacks of parts until I'm ready to sink my teeth into it!
The Pros:
This kit gives you tons of options! With or without the pilot.... open panels...
The cons...
You have to buy several of this beast to do cool stuff with them all! An easily addictive kit!
I HIGHLY recommend this kit. It redefines coolness. And you will get your $$$ worth!

A MUST HAVE !!!!!
Lot of parts !!! Just imagine 109 parts !!!!
Imagine me, on my carpet checking all the parts and starting to remove the little parts of resin from the casting
The casting is very very good and the shipping as usual was made using these great plastic box we all receive one day trought e2046.com.
The only thing I can say about this one is that it's going to be a difficult one but also One of the most hyper-fun kit to build !!
Don't hesitate to buy it !! It worth the price !!
