TOYFARCE REVIEWS:

BANDAI SPIRITS DEMON SLAYER (KIMETSU NO YAIBA) TANJIRO KAMADO MODEL KIT!

It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!

Tsuyoku nareru riyuu wo shitta… Boku wo tsurete susume...

(That opening theme song was played during the closing ceremony of the Olympics. Insane!) >>

This week, we’re building a model kit with the Bandai Spirits Demon Slayer Tanjiro model kit! Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) is a very popular manga and anime, its movie “Mugen Train” broke all sorts of records earlier this year in cinemas, and the second season is coming out later in 2021. It’s a tale as old as time, the story of a brother and sister, the sister gets possessed by a demon, and the brother becomes a demon slayer to try to save her, and meets other demon slayers along the way , one is a coward, and another wears the head of a boar as a mask. Like I said, classic story. The series is mostly known for its beautiful, stunning animation. Each episode is a masterpiece, beautifully animated, and the soundtrack is also very good.

I missed out on the Buzzmod Aniplex and Figma figures of Tanjiro due to discovering the series too late (and the Buzzmod one costing an arm), but since I still wanted to have him on a shelf, I picked that model kit. I was also intrigued by it, since I’m used to do either robot figures (Gundam, Evangelion) or Cup Noodle model kits.

The box!

Details about painted parts

No glue needed!

Tanjiro: Deconstructed!

Step 1: NAILED IT!

“Please… Kill me…”

Nightmare fuel!

Okay… The face and hair look pretty damn amazing.

You wouldn’t know that it’s a dozen tiny pieces clipped together. Amazing!

Behold my sticker skills… I put them *NEARLY* correctly!

Tanjiro’s “plaid shirt” in 9 pieces

It’s all just clipped together!

The first 4 parts

Tadaaa!

The level of detail is crazy. There was even a sticker for the hole under the sandal, where the straps meet!

The finished product

“I can do it. I know I can do it.”

“No matter what, I can do it! I can fight!”

“I swear your big brother will save you no matter what!”

Water Breathing: Fourth Form… Striking Tide!

Sun Breathing: Dance of the Fire God!

I like how those model kits always weigh nothing. It’s a nice little kit that was fun to build (it took about 40min), and it looks good on a shelf. If it was up to me, I would have added the big wooden box to put on his back, or next to him. There’s already another version of this one coming, with a different blade (with fire effect). No idea if they will do other characters, but I might pick them if they do.

More news at 11:00… Water Breathing: Eleventh form… Dead Calm!
