Sluban又推出了4款套装,这次他们的"女性"机甲终于没有再用蠢笨的拳状手部零件——自从推出《环太平洋》系列以来,他们通常会设计一款基于雅典娜机甲的偏女性化机甲,但这是首款让我真正想收藏的型号。
和所有新品系列一样,首发价格总是离谱得惊人。但这次高价持续时间特别长,以至于当我看到AE Baymax商店标价17.53欧元时,竟觉得划算并立即下单。结果第二天就降到15欧元,隔天更是跌至14欧元(500片装Sluban机甲的常规价位,本品含504片)。虽然差价不大,但还是让我等快递等得抓心挠肝。
12天直达欧盟境内,甚至送货上门(周六早上9点被敲门声吵醒真是痛并快乐着)。
不过拼搭体验弥补了一切。Sluban日益壮大的机器人系列每次都能给我惊喜,不仅零件质量和说明书一如既往优秀,设计本身也在持续进化——每完成一个部件都能清晰感受到这种进步。
轻松拼搭约三小时完成。
砖块质量:保持Sluban一贯水准,部分注塑件需自行裁剪。咬合度完美但边角稍显粗糙,常规评分8/10。但橡胶脚跟设计值得加分:既巧妙又酷炫,金属质感的紫红色零件也深得我心。最终给9/10。
设计:体型惊人庞大(尤其考虑到仅504片零件)。末图与B1236、B1151的尺寸对比可见一斑——后者零件数都多于九尾狐机甲。正如前文所言,Sluban每款机甲都在进化:隐藏式设计登峰造极,关节加固方式别出心裁,即便拖着巨型尾巴整体结构依然稳如泰山。10/10。
贴纸/印刷:重大改进——仅需粘贴少量贴纸(对比末图B1236的50+贴纸),面部为预印刷。金属质感贴纸华丽但格外脆弱,需小心处理。7/10。
说明书:印刷清晰纸质优良,保持品牌一贯水准。10/10。
总分36/40,强烈推荐!
--------------
Another 4-set bunch by Sluban and this is the first time their "feminine" mech doesn't have those dumb fists in place of normal hands. Since their Pacific Rim series, they usually include one mech that can be considered feminine and is more or less based on Athene Jaeger, but this is the first one I actually wanted to include in my collection.
As always with their new series, in the beginning the prices were just insane. But this time this insanity was going for too long, for so long that when I saw this mech for 17,53 EUR (AE Baymax Store), I thought it's a good deal and immediately bought it. Silly me, the next day it was around 15 EUR and after one more day - just 14 EUR, which is a usual price for Sluban mechs with around 500 pieces (this one has 504). Oh well, not a huge difference, but still pissed me off and poisoned the waiting :D
12 days to the EU and even delivered right to my door (waking me up at 9:00 on Saturday, ouch :D).
Nevertheless, the building experience has compensated everything. With each part of their (now huge) Robot series Sluban amazes me every-freaking-time. The quality of the pieces and the instructions is a given, however, the building design itself is evolving and you can clearly recognise it with each part completed.
Relaxed building took about 3 hours.
Brick quality: usual Sluban bricks with some additional moulded pieces that you have to cut out. I.e. - it's near top quality with perfect clutch but a bit more rough edges. I'd say it's usual 8/10, but I must add a point for the rubber heels - such a clever decision, which looks both funny and cool. I also REALLY liked those metallised purplish-red coloured pieces. So 9/10.
Design: this thing is HUGE, especially for 504 pieces. You can see on the last picture size comparison with B1236 and B1151 - both of them have MORE pieces than Nine-tailed fox. As I've already mentioned, Sluban is evolving with each mech, this time is no exception. They hide everything it's possible and even impossible to hide, they strengthened joints in ways I've never seen before and despite this enormous tail the whole construction is super stable, 10/10.
Stickers/prints: another improvement for Sluban - just several stickers. (B1236 from the last pic has more than 50). The face is printed. The stickers are gorgeous, metallised, however, you must be extra-careful because they are also easier to damage. 7/10.
Instructions: perfectly clear, good quality paper, usual Sluban manual. 10/10.
To conclude, 36/40, I highly recommend!
