Beautiful Girls x Robots for Under 10,000 Yen: The True Potential of Blockers Fiore



🌸 The 'Other' Beautiful Girl Plastic Model That Only Those in the Know Are Aware Of | The Appeal of Blockers Fiore

'Beautiful girl plastic models = Kotobukiya'
—I want those who think that way to know about this.
The other beautiful girl plastic model line handled by Volks,
that is 'Blockers Fiore'.


🌼 What is the Volks original brand 'Blockers'?

'Blockers' is an 'articulation x assembly' series developed by Volks.
Among them, **Fiore** is a spin-off brand themed around beautiful girls x mecha.

The biggest feature is that the 'beautiful girl' and 'robot' are completed in one set.
It is a series with surprisingly high cost-performance, priced under 10,000 yen for a beautiful girl body + dedicated mecha.
—it is actually a series with quite high cost-performance.


There are many types like this where a robot and a girl are set together. List price 8,800 yen

⚙️ 4mm joint structure where mecha and beautiful girls fuse

Fiore's joints use a proprietary 4mm joint standard.
This size is compatible with the 'Volks Blockers main series,'
making it possible to equip robot parts from the same series as they are.

In other words—
'combining mecha girls and robots to 'create a world'' is something that was intended from the design stage.


🎨 Excellent compatibility with Vallejo paint

Fiore's molded colors have a softer, matte texture than other beautiful girl plastic models.
Because of this, it is surprisingly compatible with Vallejo brush painting.

  • The soft-colored base enhances the vibrancy of Vallejo colors

  • A smooth surface that is resistant to brush strokes

  • Water-based paints adhere easily to delicate hair, skin, and clothing parts

For those who want to enjoy the 'beauty of painting with a single brush,'
kits that are this satisfying to paint are rare.


Vallejo and basic lacquer-based colors are listed.

💰 Actually 'a great value for the content'

One of the features of Fiore is the richness of the set configuration.
Despite being a full package of a beautiful girl base body + dedicated mecha,
the price is mainly **under 10,000 yen (around 9,000 yen)**.

Compared to similar-scale kits from other companies,
it has extremely high cost-performance in the sense of "achieving both sculptural beauty and volume".


The delicate details and voluminous parts are appealing.
The girl on the left is recommended!

🧩 Resin parts are "officially sold individually"

And another thing that cannot be overlooked is the individual sale of resin parts by Volks officially.

  • Hairstyle variations

  • Some decorations and accessories

Being able to purchase and customize these individually is a strength not found in other companies.
It also meets needs such as "I want to practice painting" or "I want to make it a different character,"
and is designed so that you can "continue to enjoy working with your hands" for a long time.

However, resin parts are very expensive. (The bangs alone cost 2,200 yen)


These bangs and back hair are made of resin. They produce finer details than plastic.

💬 Author's comment

If Megami Device is the "flower of the battlefield,"
Fiore is the **"statue in the atelier."**

When painting it, a "quietness" stands out more than glamour.
It is a plastic model with a slightly different vector of beauty.
A masterpiece that I want those who prefer brush painting to try at least once.
