Review: Great kit, but requires patience to cut nicely and apply stickers/water-decals - This is my first time using a modeling kit, so this was a new experience for me. First of all the shipping was much slower than Prime, but it still arrived a lot sooner than the estimated shipping date. I received the item about 2 week after ordering, and I could tell it was sent from Japan so the slow shipping makes sense. The kit comes with instructions in Japanese only, so I had to work off of pictures only. This can be tricky at times, especially because the modeling kit comes with options that you don't necessarily have to do (like using the arms or weapons that R2D2 and BB8 comes with). The kit comes with both stickers and water-decals. Both are relatively easy to apply, and I would suggest using whichever kind you feel more comfortable with. BB8 is definitely made from a higher quality plastic than R2D2, and I think that's because R2D2 is a re-release from the previous kits. The plastic that R2D2 is made of shows a little more flaws (where you snipped the plastic). That said, both models look great after assembly. Some of the pieces of R2D2 didn't stay on very well (like the blue pieces on the top of its head), so I had to use glue for a couple of pieces. Some stickers are very very small, but it is worth the time because it makes a difference including them onto the model. The whole building process took about 4-5 hours. The size of the final product is relatively small (BB8: 2 inches R2D2: 4 inches). I would say this is for ages 13+, as it requires a lot of patience.
Review: Way better than I could have imagined for a "glue Free" Model kit! - It has been a long time since I have assembled a model kit. Especially a "Snap Tight" style of model. I am highly impressed with the quality of this model kit. Even though the directions were in Japanese (I think) I could still follow the very well detailed step by step instructions. Every piece fit perfectly and the fit was tight and strong. I purchased some model glue just in case and I did not even use it! I opted to leave BB-8 as is since I already have a "dirty" version of him with sand and grime. I did paint R2-D2 with a mud scheme to represent him emerging from the swamp in ESB. The kit came with both types of decals, self adhesive and water decals. For the very small decals I used paint rather than mess with tweezers and patience. I am highly impressed with the quality of this model and the other kits available are on my list for future purchases.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How tall are each of these figures?**
A: BB-8 is 56.5mm,R2-D2 is 96mm.They are 1/12 scale.

**Q: Does the kit require glue or are the pieces snap-to-fit?**
A: Snap-fit. Brilliant kit! The pieces fit together beautifully and hold together perfectly. No paint either. The kit comes with both stickers and water-based decals. I used the stickers and you cannot tell they are stickers. I am totally satisfied with every aspect of this kit! All I used was an exacto knife and some tweezers for the smaller pieces.

**Q: How do these compare to Gundam in terms of difficulty? What grade would you compare it to?**
A: I've built the R2-D2 half of this kit so far. For difficulty, I'd say it's just a little more than a HG. In overall detail, this kit is somewhere between HG and MG. MG in terms of part count, HG in that the little details may need painting. (R2's arms will need some paint to look like the box art, BB-8's orange plastic is a little yellow, but I only noticed this because I have the sphero; these parts can be removed fairly easily for painting\airbrushing later). Overall the natural plastic looks great, even without paint. I used gundam markers item: B00HY93GHY GM01 black and GM03 brown for R2's panels and it really makes it stand out. Look up panel lining. I'd recommend this kit as is out of the box. Using the tip of a straight pin or hobby knife helped me to pick up the smallest stickers, then I used a pointed cotton bud to slide them in place.

**Q: are these models that need to be built or action figures**
A: Definitely NOT action figures.  It is a model kit.  The best part is no glue is necessary and the joints of the model do allow for some movement, which allows you to pose the figure in many different ways.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely realistic and detailed
*by A***R on September 26, 2023*

Bandai makes the best model kits, extremely detailed and accurate! Except for one of the little hoses/cables on R2D2s leg, I was 99% successful in assembling him. I have fat fingers and this is VERY fine detailed work, but that's my problem not Bandai's problem. I might email Bandai and find out about how to get a replacement part. The little hose broke when I accidentally bumped it after it was already attached.
