Learn what's inside the KADOKAWA Plastic Model Emilia DX kit and how to assemble it step by step, including tips for the two-body set with original swimsuit.
Quick answer
The KADOKAWA Plastic Model Emilia DX includes two complete body sets (show costume and original swimsuit) with pre-colored parts, four face plates, and ice magic effects. This guide walks you through the assembly process and common pitfalls.
What makes the DX version different
The DX version gives you two full sets of body parts: one in Emilia's iconic show outfit and one in an original swimsuit design. This means you can display her in either look or swap parts between builds. The swimsuit set uses the same joint system, so mixing is straightforward.
The kit relies on molded-in color and pre-painted parts, so no painting is required. However, the joint pegs can be tight on first assembly, and the ice effect parts are fragile—work slowly to avoid stress marks.
Step-by-step assembly guide
- Check and organize runners: Open the box and lay out all runners. Sort the show costume parts and swimsuit parts into separate piles. Use a small dish for tiny pieces like hand joints. Missing a part? Check all runners before contacting support—often a piece falls behind the cardboard insert.
- Snap the head and face together: Attach the front hair piece, then the back hair piece. Choose one face plate and press it into the front hair groove. The fit is snug; align the tabs exactly to avoid gaps. Push the face plate from the center outward—pressing only one side can crack the thin plastic.
- Assemble the show costume body: Clip the torso front and back halves, then attach the arms at the shoulder ball joints. Add the skirt pieces last. The skirt pegs are directional—check the notch before pressing. If a joint feels too tight, sand it lightly with fine-grit paper. Never force it or the peg may snap.
- Build the swimsuit body: Repeat the same torso and arm assembly with the swimsuit runner set. The swimsuit body uses fewer skirt parts, so it's quicker. Attach the included swimsuit hand parts. The swimsuit body has a different waist peg width—do not force the show costume skirt onto it.
- Attach the ice magic effects: Select the ice magic effect part and slide it onto the open hand. For the ice sword, open the grip hand slightly and insert the blade. The effects are clear plastic—handle by the base only. Clear parts show fingerprints easily. Wear cotton gloves or wash hands before handling them.
- Pose and display: Use the included stand to support Emilia in action poses. The stand peg fits into the back hole on either body. Adjust the arm and leg joints for a dynamic spell-casting stance. The stand base is light—if you pose her leaning forward, add a small weight (like a coin) under the base to prevent tipping.
