A few weeks ago I was browsing on YouTube and came across a review of this Chibimaru model kit of Biollante. I've seen a few Godzilla ones, as well as a King Ghidorah, and thought they were cute, so when I realized they had made a Biollante, I decided to seek one out. It was released late last year, but Big Bad Toy Store still had it in stock, so I purchased it there. I had completed a model kit of the Ultraman Z robot Sevenger some years ago, and found it easier than I imagined, so I figured I'd give this one a shot.
