30MS FUYUKO MAYUZUMI

The face plate options on this kit are what sold me, and the color separation looks crisp right out of the box. Posability is solid too, though the shoulder parts needed a bit of sanding to sit flush. She's already front and center on my shelf.

The face printing is super clean out of the box, and the color separation means I barely needed any paint touch-ups. Assembly took me a couple of relaxed evenings, and the articulation lets her hold some really dynamic poses without parts popping off.

The articulation on this kit surprised me — I got her into a decent pose without any parts popping off. Only complaint is the smaller decals are a pain to apply, but the kit itself is solid once it's together.
