The SO.SKILL x Eastern Model 1/12 The Nine-Tailed Fox Da Ji is a snap-fit, full-articulation plastic model kit produced as a collaboration between SO.SKILL (圣斯基) and Eastern Model (御模道) for the long-running ATK Girl line. The kit depicts the nine-tailed fox Da Ji and converts between a light form and a fully armored "berserk" configuration through swappable limbs, a swappable head, and a rear-mounted Nine-Tail Annihilation System. ATK Girl is Eastern Model's articulated female figure series, and this release introduces a newly tooled base body with revised proportions, updated face sculpts, and reinforced one-piece arm and leg parts.

Key Features

• Dual Light and Armed Forms - swap the limbs and head and attach the Nine-Tail system to convert between the unarmed light form (approx. 17 cm) and the armored form (approx. 19 cm).
• Nine-Tail Annihilation System - a rear-mounted array of eight articulated mechanical tails with multi-segment joints, integrated thrusters, and six transparent "Huanmei" blades that slide out and detach for hand-held use.
• Ten Face Options - five pad-printed expression faces plus five blank faces for water-slide decal customization, all swapped by removing the front hair base.
• Transformable Ninth-Tail "Qingshi" Weapon - a single hand-held armament that functions as both a staff and a rifle and stows on the Nine-Tail system's weapon rack as the ninth tail.
• Newly Tooled Base Body - revised proportions with one-piece arm and leg parts and combination interlocking joints, described by Eastern Model as a no-fall-off articulation upgrade over earlier ATK Girl bodies.
• Posing Accessories - multiple replacement hand pairs plus OK, pointing, and finger-heart gestures, a wire-cored fur boa for the light form, six thruster effect parts, and a universal display stand.
• Material and Finish - PVC/ABS parts with a matte finish and slightly translucent skin-tone plastic; red markings and panel lines applied via the included water-slide decal sheet.

Builder Context

This is a snap-fit kit suited to beginner and intermediate builders, with no cement required and pad-printed faces and pre-colored armor that allow a complete look without painting. Decal application and light seam cleanup are the main finishing steps. The build and articulation are comparable to other ATK Girl machine girl kits and to entry-level Bandai 30MS figures, though reviewers note loose ball joints and tight leg joints that benefit from careful handling.

Why Build This Kit

The SO.SKILL x Eastern Model 1/12 The Nine-Tailed Fox Da Ji is best suited to collectors of articulated machine girl figures who want a kit that displays in two distinct configurations rather than a single fixed pose. Its main point of difference within the ATK Girl line is the newly tooled base body, which uses one-piece arm and leg parts and revised proportions that depart from the thinner limbs of earlier releases in the series. On a shelf the light form stands about 17 cm and the armed form about 19 cm, placing it close in height to a Bandai 30MS kit but with a denser accessory count, including ten face options and the multi-tail Nine-Tail Annihilation System. Compared with snap-fit Bandai kits at a similar price, Da Ji reaches a display-ready look without painting thanks to pad-printed faces and pre-colored armor, but the red detailing relies on the included water-slide decals rather than molded color separation. Builders should know that reviewers report loose ball joints, tight hip joints, and small parts such as the side bangs and tail blades that can pop off during handling, so gluing select connection points and easing tight joints is recommended before posing.
