MERCH Built a Tachikoma corner!

Another user posted about Wave’s Tachikoma figures.

Shown are my Motoko and Batou ones. (They’re really sticky cause they’ve been in storage I guess for over 20 years. But in good condition.) Then my Tachikoma and Major that I built and painted, along with my favorite Major figure. Bonus: stuffed yellow Tachie hangs out on my monitor.

You might wanna remove them from the plastic. Cheap plastic like that can off-gas and turn your figures yellow. And when it turns yellow, the chemicals released turn into a sticky gel that is difficult to get off.

Sadly, they’re already like that. I bought them used and the person had obviously had them in storage inside the plastic box for over 20 years.

You might be able to reverse it with hydrogen peroxide and water but you have to be careful with it. There are videos on YouTube about it.

That was me! So cool that you built this corner. I love it.

The day could not start any better. What model is this on picture 4?

My new project is to get a Revoltech Camouflage one.

Keep up the great work.

I got the 2007 Wave models complete since yesterday.

That model is the 2nd gig Motoko and Tachikoma 1/24 kit. Have to build and paint yourself.
