🛠️ Unboxing the Kaiyodo PAK Kröte 2-Kit Set + The "Betrayal Scale" Debate!

Hey everyone!

I just got my hands on the Kaiyodo Artpla PAK Kröte 2-Kit Set, and let me tell you—it’s a beauty! 🚀 I filmed an unboxing and review where I take a closer look at this Maschinen Krieger release, share some fun behind-the-scenes stories from my Tokyo trip, and, of course, dive into the very serious 😆 "Betrayal Scale" debate.

For those unfamiliar, "Betrayal Scale" is an inside joke from our POP Discord, poking fun at the idea that 1/35 Ma.K kits somehow betray the "true" 1/20 scale. Of course, Maschinen Krieger has always played with scale, and the original SF3D kits were closer to “Microman scale” than anything super rigid. But hey, we love a bit of friendly modeler banter, and this one stuck!

🔹 What's Inside the Box?
This set includes two PAK Kröte machines—one with a long-barreled gun and one with a short-barreled gun—plus newly designed turret parts exclusive to this release. It also features "Victor," a character from Kow Yokoyama Sensei’s original SF3D universe. Packed with 11 runners and fresh waterslide decals, this kit is an exciting addition to any Ma.K fan’s workbench.

📦 Shipping Update for Store Orders!
If you ordered a single kit from my store and weren’t waiting on bundled books, your packages shipped out this week! That means they’re already inbound to your postbox, so keep an eye out. Thanks so much for your orders and for supporting direct sales—it truly makes a difference.
