Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.
Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Gundam series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Gundam kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.
Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.
The Figure-rise Mechanics Dr. Slump Arale stands at a charming 11cm (4.3 inches) tall when assembled. This smaller scale is perfect for adorning your desk or bookshelf, adding a touch of Dr. Slump whimsy to your display.
This Arale figure comes pre-painted in her iconic blue and yellow color scheme, with details like her trademark red sneakers and blonde pigtails faithfully represented. This lets you enjoy her instantly recognizable look straight out of the box. However, experienced modelers can always add their own personalized touches with weathering effects or custom detailing.
Yes, the Figure-rise Mechanics Dr. Slump Arale features articulated joints at the shoulders, elbows, wrists, legs, and ankles. This allows you to recreate some of her signature poses, like throwing a Nyoibo staff, striking a mischievous grin, or even taking a running stance.
This model kit is rated for beginner to intermediate modelers. The snap-fit parts make it easy to assemble without glue, and the clear instructions guide you through the process. Even newcomers to model building can enjoy bringing Arale to life in their hands.
You can find this model kit at various online retailers specializing in anime merchandise and hobby supplies, such as Amazon, HobbyLink Japan, and BigBadToyStore. The price may vary depending on the retailer and availability, but it generally ranges from $20 to $30 USD.
