I was watching a video clip on Instagram of someone taking photos of their Godzilla figure. I noticed that the person was using some small, brightly colored buildings, so I asked in the comments where he had gotten them from. He responded, saying they were on Amazon, and suggested I search for 1/300 scale buildings. I did and came across this set, which wasn't too pricey and looked good, so I purchased it. The set was delivered over a week ago.
This set came with a total of 7 different colored and sized buildings, a street base, and a small bag of cars and trees. When I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised to see that all of the buildings were already assembled, each individually wrapped in plastic. The street base was also wrapped in plastic. It's a T-shaped intersection, with spaces on the ends where you can place the buildings. The base has a series of tiny holes where you can plug the trees into. I love the variety of colors offered, for both the buildings (purple, yellow, gold, blue, etc.) and cars (gold, red, green, black, etc.). The buildings also have film on the insides, giving them colorful windows. They're also hollow, with an opening at the bottom that allows you to stick a small light into, which is ideal for night shots.
While the trees are a nice accessory, I did notice that they don't always fit too well into the holes. Sometimes you have to twist them in order to get them to hold, but even so, they don't fit too securely. The cars are a little bit larger than others I've gotten for buildings in the 1:12 scale.
This set is really nice, and it's a great accessory for your kaiju and Ultraman action figures. I've been wanting to find some street bases to add to my building collection, as I'd always seen some nice ones on YouTube videos and store displays. These work great as a backdrop for taking photos of your kaiju figures amid a cityscape.
Here's a short video clip where I used some of these new buildings, combined with older ones I have. Happy 4th of July!
