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 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.
