Bandai Figure-Rise Standard Shishibe Shion

Shion Shishibe from Kyoukai Senki, as a Figure-rise Standard character kit

Shion Shishibe is the female pilot of the MAILeS Reiki in Kyoukai Senki (Amaim Warrior at the Borderline), and, per one reviewer, the only human character kit in the Kyoukai Senki plastic model line-up. Bandai's Figure-rise Standard version comes with three faces, two sets of hands and her AI mascot I-LeS Nayuta. Bandai released it in Japan in December 2021 and rates it 15+.

Build difficulty

Skill Level 2, rated 15+ by Bandai. It is snap-fit with no glue, and a Japanese reviewer notes it uses no polycaps, with a ring-style shoulder joint instead. The colour separation is described as close to complete, with stickers only for the clothing marks and hair ornament. The faces are where the work is. One face is tampo-printed and the other two are finished by sticker or waterslide decal.

Technical highlights

  • Three face parts: a tampo-printed smiling face, an angry face and a surprised face, per Bandai.
  • Two sets of hands: flat (left and right) and gripping (left and right), per Bandai.
  • AI mascot I-LeS Nayuta included, with a display base.
  • Forearms are moulded as a single part, and the hair edges are crisp, per one reviewer.
  • Very mobile lower body with an unusual waist structure, per one reviewer.
  • Head, face and ear parts come as a set. One reviewer found the head connection is not compatible with 30MS heads unless the neck axis is removed.

What makes this kit special

  • Shion herself: the Kyoukai Senki heroine in her lab coat and purple top, as a plastic model.
  • Three expressions: smile, anger and surprise.
  • I-LeS Nayuta: her AI mascot is included.
  • Two hand sets: flat and gripping hands in left and right pairs.

What's in the box

  • Shion Shishibe figure
  • Face parts, three (smile tampo-printed, angry, surprised)
  • Hand parts, two sets (flat, left and right; gripping, left and right)
  • AI mascot I-LeS Nayuta, one

  • Display base

Compatible accessories

What to watch for

This comes from one detailed Japanese builder review and a community kit guide, so treat each point as a note rather than a confirmed fault:

  • The upper body barely moves once built. Per one reviewer, the neck joint hardly moves and the shoulders look wide. The community guide notes elbows and knees bend only to about 90 degrees.
  • The lower body is very mobile on its own, but once attached the shirt blocks most of its range, per one reviewer. That reviewer trimmed the hem of the shirt to gain a little movement, and the coat then limited it again.
  • Two of the three faces are finished with stickers or waterslide decals, so the face is the part that takes the most care.
  • The community guide suggests panel-lining and painting some details for a better result.
  • There are no weapon holders, so there is little to hold. The mascot and the base are the only extras.

The reviewer was positive about the colour separation, the quality of the hair and the way the forearm is moulded.

Build notes

Take your time with the faces and the shirt, since the clothing is where the movement is limited. Nippers and a fine file are enough for the rest. Rated 15 and up by Bandai.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes these Gunpla kits the hottest sellers?

These kits are fan favourites for their detailed design, affordability, and build size, offering a balanced and enjoyable building experience.

Are these hottest seller kits suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! Especially the HG kits, which are known for their fewer parts and simplicity, making them a great starting point for new builders.

What is the level of detail in the MG and RG hottest sellers?

MG kits boast a detailed inner frame and additional parts, while RG combines MG’s complexity with HG’s size for an intricate, compact build.

Can I get replacement parts if I lose some during the build?

Yes, if you buy a kit from Mecha Express Australia we will source replacement parts for you. This is not a quick process as parts need to come from Bandai in Japan.

How much space will I need to display these Gunpla?

HG and RG Gundam kits are compact, while MG Gundam are larger but still manageable. You won’t need too much space to showcase these masterpieces beautifully.
