Robot Damashii -SIDE MS- XM-XX Ghost Gundam Review

Head Unit

The modeling is almost the same as the phantom, but this one has a slit added to the mask part and looks more like Gundam. The eyes are painted metallic as usual. Like the phantom, the effect is designed to look like an antenna, so it's usually quite simple.

Replacement eye parts with Jupiter-style mono-eyes on the left are included, allowing you to recreate the appearance of the final battle. Although it is small, the vertical lines in the eyes have been reproduced, giving it a powerful appearance.

A mask for forced heat dissipation in the same two stages as the phantom is also included. It's a pity that the paint on the mask was off. This comes with 2 versions of normal eyes and Jupiter mono eye.

Body Unit

Most of them are phantoms, and some of them are new, such as masks, legs, thrusters, and backpacks. The color changes to the center of silver. The body shape is the same as the phantom. The phantom was almost a molded color, but this time the texture is improved because silver is painted.

The thruster on the side of the waist is a new model. The heat knife can be pulled out as it is. The base is a ball joint and the connection is movable left

Arms and Legs Unit

The legs are slightly different in the thighs, but the others are almost the same. A good balance of length and thickness. The backpack has changed considerably from the phantom, with the forced cooling cartridge hanging down.

The movement of the left and right thrusters does not change, the base is a ball joint and the white parts at the bottom are also movable.

Weaponry and Option Set

In this packaging have a set of effects. Heat knife is the same as when it was a phantom, and it is equipped by pulling it out from the waist. Dedicated effects are also included.

Peacock is a new model with weapons that was not available at the time of the phantom. Dedicated effects are also included. It is also possible to switch to smasher mode without replacement by pushing in while opening the blade.

An effect for this is also included. Flame rifles fired from the left and right thrusters can also be reproduced. Here, replace the heat knife with a special part. Reproduced by adding an effect to the dowel hole on the back side.

Fully equipped with a phantom light effect. The effect is more purple than it was in the phantom. Since the effects are light, there was no problem with independence.

How to attach the effect is the same as for the phantom. Replace the forehead parts on the head. As with the phantom, the effect is like an antenna. The body remains the same. Replace the chest with the X-shaped white parts.

For the front armor, replace the white parts at the bottom. For the thruster, remove some of the red parts and insert the effect. The shoulders are covered with the upper cover, the elbows and knees are replaced with white parts, and the calves are replaced with red parts. Be careful because the elbows were quite stiff due to individual differences.

The back binder can be attached by removing the red parts as before. Like the phantom, it can be transformed into a mirage bird. The transformation procedure is the same, but this time I attached a peacock to the nose.

At the time of the phantom, it had a unique silhouette that was long only sideways, but this time it stretched forward and became a fighter-like shape.

The mode can be changed as it is with the peacock on the nose. It is also possible to deploy the phantom light in this state as well as the phantom. As with the phantom, it was easy to float because it has a joint dedicated to this form.

At first glance, it looks different in color, but the mask, waist side thruster, thighs, etc. change soberly.

Movability and Articulation

Peacock, smasher mode. Since the main body is almost the same, the movement is the same as the phantom. Phantom light deployment. The neck and waist can also rotate firmly. The newly added flame rifle effect reproduces the irregular trajectory as in the work.

The grip part can be firmly gripped with the handle. Replaced with Jupiter type mono eye. If you let your knees stand, you will inevitably tilt, so use a side thruster to assist your posture.

It is also possible to hold both hands of a peacock. The yellow color of the grip is painted, so be careful not to peel it off. There wasn't much effect porori, but the antenna and back cartridge were easy to touch, so it was easy to remove.

Summary

This is the review of ROBOT Spirit -SIDE MS- XM-XX Ghost Gundam. Since the main body is almost a diversion of Phantom Gundam, the basic results such as movable and deformed gimmicks are the same as there.

The phantom was almost a molded color, but since the main color of the ghost is silver, the painting area is greatly increased and the texture is good, the characteristic Jupiter type mono eye is accurately reproduced, and the phantom light effect is also elaborate and looks good.
