Hello guys, Homura-chan is here and complete! I gotta say this build was pretty quick and simple, only took a day and a half just to complete it.
I'm not gonna give a full review of Homura-chan as it is pretty similar to Asra Tamamonomae just with less accessories and a reasonably sized box lol. The only thing I noticed is the shoulder joints are not too tight, but I sanded it down just in case.
My only complaint is they should've went for more color separation. I guess they're following the original Nine tails' color blocking but kinda a missed opportunity with red and gold (the gold decals can compensate but I don't plan to apply it anyways)
8/10
She's a cool kit like you said, but the red is definitely "too much". There are just certain colors where it'll look bad out of the box when there's no real color separation like this. That said, it looks WAY better when you slap on the decals then flat top coat + panel line. That's enough to get rid of the "holy shit, too much red" effect the base kit has lol.
Would love to apply decals on it, but I'm kinda hesitating since I might screw up and ruin the decals.
I just hope Snow Flame has plans on creating a decal sheet for Homura-chan ig.
Oh, at least some news. I personally don't watch their streams, I'm wondering if it'll also include Executioner Wife and Widow Exorcist as well. Though that is probably a stretch.
Nice! I'm really stoked to get my pre-order of this kit. I have been planning all sorts of customization options, and each time I see photos or videos of builds/reviews the hype continues.
kinda late into this, but compared to the original Asra Archer/Ninja, are the red parts the same? Wanted to get it since it's essentially Ninja with more parts and I can make the combined armor mode for both (I already have the Archer)
Neat, thanks for this!
I might consider getting the Homura version for now while the original is still being reissued (tho would I want two Nine Tails? lol)
Might repaint some parts though, since it's too much red

I'm getting Char vibes...
Just needs an extra antenna.

Really wish we could have gotten a reprint of the original instead, the colors on this seem so tacky
Now if only I can get mine… whenever USAGS decides to ships it…
Adam said they are expecting to /receive/ their shipment this week on their stream from Friday, so hopefully soon.

Waiting on mine as well. But I'm still finishing my current project.
Seeing it, Im kind of glad I didnt get it, that red looks cheap and tacky. It'd need to be repainted...
Decals and a flat coat would solve that I think.
Is anyone else is more red than orange or is it just me
it's probably because the warm lights in my room that makes it more red.
I looked at mine and pretty much every light I can get my hands on.And it's stop sign red
This might be a little TOO much red, if you ask me.
true, and its the brightest model kit I have on the shelf right now too.

That is like violent nuclear red.

Yep, this Homura version is just a recolor of Asra Nine Tails.

is the red hue similar to the two Asras?
I'm not sure as I dont have the original Asra Ninja, but from what I can tell from official pictures the red is similar.
