The Mini Slicers

*Warning. Image heavy post*

The AP Slicers have landed! I managed to get my hands on both the 3 pack and the Kyuuketsuki + bothead, so now I got too many Kyuus.

A quick look at the box, loving all the packaging with this one. Clean and simple, but shows off the details of their work. My only complain is that my Interbaka looks nothing like the photo. More on that later.

I love how these guys come packed in boxes instead of being carded. Makes it so much easier to take out, play with them, and keep them again. Takes up much less space than a carded set too. The three packs are wrapped in a sleeve, giving it a feeling like you're pulling out individual drawers as you take them out.

All three unboxed. Lovely looking trio!

What is one to do if one can't afford an expensive and rare Interbaka that ranges in the thousands of dollars? Get a cheap 1/12 version of course!

A few quick shots of Interbaka! He comes with the electrified swords and tank, just like the 1/6 version. There are 22 grenades, but unlike the bigger version, the pins do not have a metal ring attached but is molded plastic instead.

The buckles of the tank straps are also molded as a single piece and can't be unbuckled, unlike the bigger brothers. This ends up giving him a nerdy schoolboy look as the straps are so close together. Fortunately the waist belts can be unbuckled. Another gripe is that the straps are overly yellowed in an ugly moldy look, unlike the lighter, grayish tone of its bigger brother.

One thing I do like about the 1/12 figures though, besides the small cutesy size, is the articulation. This guys have shoulder articulation inwards to the chest, something only the newer 1/6 bodies like NOM 27 and NOM 4th have. The waist can also bend to an almost 90 degrees to allow for a natural looking sitting posture. 

Some random shots of Interbaka without and with grenades on. Haven't had to the time to fully unbox and play with the rest yet. 

Update: More pics of Baka and Kyuu
