Product Description
Inspired by the beautiful Giant isopod, the Articulated Predominant Isopod is a fun and easy to build kit which features 18 individual parts, attached to easy to remove sprues.
The isopod kit features articulation in the limbs at three ball-joint points; the body socket, knee/elbow, and lower limb/foot/claw. The limbs rotate in a similar fashion to ball-jointed action figures, and ball-jointed dolls.
The head also features ball-joint articulation, in which the head can rotate in a circular motion, similar to how a door knob rotates.
The sprues were easily removed with a small pair of standard scissors. I found that removing and assembling the parts one at a time or in groups made the assembly of the isopod easier. Also, the joints would be a bit tough to fit into the sockets at first, so it would be best to slowly insert the ball joint into the socket while moving it around in a circular and/or up and down motion, this would fit the joints together snug and allow easier movability.
The flexible ball-jointed limbs of the isopod, gives the isopod the ability to perform a variety of posses, and the ability to hold items such as SD Cards, Coins, and Pens.
Please Note that the right arm was a bit loose on this model after some pose positions, however this might just be a fluke or too much joint movement on the joint, and/or the joint going beyond the socket's joint rotation allowance, as most of the other joints seemed a bit more secure.
Nevertheless, any loose joints which happen to fall out are a natural occurrence and can be easily be snapped back into place. In fact, I found that the joints become easier to move around the more they are removed and moved around, however, it may be a good idea to limit too much rapid rotation, removing and re-joining of the joints as they may become quite loose at the socket overtime.
Also, please note that I have increased the contrast and auto-adjusted most of the photos to show the details of the isopod better.
Thank you for taking a look at the Articulated Predominant Isopod A Ball-Jointed Kit. Have an Awesome week.
