Below is a review of the NXEdge Style RX-104FF Penelope which was released by Bandai in July 2021.

NXEdge Style RX-104FF Penelope Review

Head Unit

Although it is deformed like Nexedge, it has a tight face and detailed details. The eyes are painted metallic and each part is painted accurately. The antenna was also sharp.

Body Unit

Like RX-105 Ξ Gundam, plated parts are used here and there, and the joints have been renewed. For considerable volume such as width and depth. The FF (Fixed Flight) unit is removable and can be used as an Odysseus Gundam, but for that reason there were many porori. The torso is completely covered with FF up to the chest and waist. Plating is used like RX-105 Ξ Gundam and it looks flashy.

Arms and Legs

The inside of the shoulder has a large plating area and is particularly conspicuous. Like other Nexedge, each part of the mold is tight. The tail stabilizer can be moved up and down.

Weaponry and accessories

Equipped with a rifle and shield, there is no particular gimmick. Shield is equipped on both arms. It is also possible to attach a beam saber blade to the tip. It is also possible to purge the FF unit to make it Odysseus Gundam. It's nice to be able to reproduce this as well, but because of that, it's quite easy to porori, so that area is a bit complicated. The height of the head does not change much, but the overall volume is quite different. Also, the color of white was quite different.

Movability and Articulation

The contents of Odysseus are the same new joints as RX-105 Ξ Gundam, but in the NXEdge RX-104FF Penelope state, there is too much interference and movement is considerably restricted.

In addition, shoulder armor and waist armor are also easy to come off, and moving in this state is quite stressful. Somersault pose when RX-105 Ξ Gundam comes out. The beam cannon on the shoulder is launched as it is. Saber blades are included for both hands. Because of these specifications, I was not good at putting on complicated fighting poses. This is the same new joint as NXEdge RX-105 Ξ Gundam, so it works well, but it seems that not many people decorate it in this state. RX-104FF Penelope pilot Lane Aim! He's a pitiful guy who can't fight without taking hostages!

Summary

Like NXEdge RX-105 Ξ Gundam, each part is plated and the atmosphere is quite different from the past NXEdge, so it seems that the tastes will be different, but it is made to match the image in the play, and the modeling is sharp and precise, too. It was pretty cool. Regarding the aspect of play, I can not help doing the gimmick of Odysseus, so I understand that it became such a specification, but since there were more porori than I expected, I wanted you to do your best if you can connect parts etc. is.
