Tastier Model Kit Ep.3
First Up: Our Trusty Companion, the Mechanical Dog
The storage box on the tail can be opened, allowing it to hold up to three rifle magazines inside.
The side rods can be flipped out to connect various weapons from Tastier’s arsenal.
After removing the Mechanical Dog's limbs and tail backpack, the torso can be reassembled into an electromagnetic cannon, while the remaining parts can be used as a backpack for Tastier.
To use the backpack formed from the Mechanical Dog, the back cover plate must be removed to expose the connection point. As a result, the cloak cannot be used simultaneously with the backpack.
When the backpack unfolds, it transforms into four mechanical arms.
- Weapon Compatibility: Each arm's claw has a universal weapon interface that can attach to all weapons except the pistol.
- Pistol Exception: The pistol cannot be attached due to its barrel's outer shell interfering with the claw's grip.
- Alternative Usage: The claw can directly grab the pistol's handle to hold it securely.
This versatile design allows for dynamic weapon configurations and creative poses.

The base adds an extra layer of immersion, making the model's display even more striking and versatile.
After detaching the stand portion, the base can be transformed into an armory mode, providing storage and display options for weapons and accessories.
The interfaces on the weapon rack can slide along the tracks to adjust their positions. Additionally, positioning locks are included to ensure the interfaces remain secure and stable
The base comes with four 3mm adapter connectors. These adapter parts can be stored in the designated holes underneath the base.
The back of the base can store the filler parts used to cover the limb sockets of the Mechanical Dog. After attaching the dagger hanger to the adapter piece included with the main body, it can also be stored on the armory.
Tastier's light blade effect parts and the Mechanical Dog's light blades with generators can also be mounted onto the adapter pieces included with Tastier and then stored neatly in the armory.
After removing the edge covers of the base, the exposed connectors can be used to attach the Mechanical Dog's four mechanical arms.
The bottom of the backpack formed from the Mechanical Dog features a connector that allows additional Mechanical Dog backpacks to be attached. By flipping out the connector originally used to link the Mechanical Dog's torso, you can seamlessly attach another backpack.
Then, all of the Mechanical Dog's mechanical arms can be attached. Since there are two Mechanical Dogs, the torsos transformed into electromagnetic cannons can be dual-wielded.
Additionally, the bonus effect parts include two electromagnetic cannon firing effects, which can also be mounted, further enhancing the dynamic display options.
Summary
As the first product in this series, Tastier impresses in many aspects.
-
Detailed Instructions:
The instruction manual is highly detailed, making the assembly process smooth and enjoyable. -
Thoughtful Design:
Most of the gate marks are hidden or intentionally placed in inconspicuous areas, combined with well-planned part separation, resulting in excellent visual quality even in a straight build. -
Interactive Features:
The numerous interconnected mechanisms and the modular weapon system greatly enhance the playability. Notably, the linked mechanisms are primarily designed to improve articulation and avoid joint interference, rather than being included purely for show—an aspect that stands out as particularly satisfying. -
Joint Quality:
The joints are well-calibrated for optimal tightness, providing excellent support. Even if you shake a single arm or leg while holding it, the joints remain stable and do not bend. When you deliberately adjust the joints, they offer the perfect balance between firmness and flexibility, avoiding issues like whitening from over-tightened parts.
If you're interested in this model, Tastier is highly recommended as a standout product in its price range.
