REVIEW FW GUNDAM CONVERGE ♯Plus03, Bandai

The following is a review of FW GUNDAM CONVERGE ♯Plus03, an action figure Converge released by Bandai based on the Mobile Suit Model from Gundam series.

Bandai FW GUNDAM CONVERGE ♯Plus03 Review

Atlas Gundam

A huge sub-leg is reproduced and a feeling of volume like Plus. However, it's a pity that the mask is a little floating and the slits are slightly off. The sub-leg is huge, but the size of the main body is the same as a normal Gundam.

Full Armor Hyakushiki Kai

Hyakushiki Kai was released in GOLD EDITION, but this time it is full armor and looks quite heavy armor. Weapons are also large. The modeling seemed new.

Palace Athene

Z Gundam's enemy MS that is included in the Plus series every time. The volume is enough, but the large missile is included in the expansion parts set, so it feels unsatisfactory in this state.

Hildolfr

A lineup from MS IGLOO, which is rare even in Converge. The appearance of a tank is faithfully reproduced, and the depth is amazing compared to a normal MS. Also, I don't need a pedestal, but it was attached exactly. The overall height is low, but the overall volume such as width and depth was considerable.

Expansion parts set

Includes weapons for Atlas Gundam, railgun and blade shield. The armament has become huge and even more powerful. In this state, the sub-leg and the shield interfere with each other, so the sub-leg had to be lowered a little backward.

Atlas Gundam flight form can be reproduced by replacing the arm and putting the main body on the sub leg. In this state, do not use the pedestal. Atlas Gundam dive form (standing), Riding on the shield connected to the sub leg. Also here, the arm is replaced with a special one.

As with all replacement arms, the connections were so loose that it was difficult to replace. Atlas Gundam dive form is the state of lying on the shield connected to the same sub leg as before.

Also here, the arm is replaced with a special one. Also, since the neck is also changed here, the head should be facing up a little. The only option for the Hyakushiki revision is the explosive bolt (deployed state), which is replaced with the wrist parts. The only option for Palace Athene is a large missile, which can be attached to a backpack.

Sirocco design MS that is always included in PLUS. Arm parts etc. are attached to Hildolfr, and the mobile form can be reproduced. This is the shovel arm stored state. The connection of the shoulder cover was loose and it was difficult to fix it tightly. Excavator arm deployed is the state where the excavator arm on the shoulder has been replaced while keeping the appearance almost above.

Summary

This is the review of FW GUNDAM CONVERGE ♯Plus03. The lineup is a little more enthusiastic than the 1st and 2nd bullets, but the volume feeling peculiar to the Plus series is still alive, and all the aircraft are quite cool with a powerful appearance that is impossible in the normal series.

By using one frame for the expansion parts set, the gimmick side was elaborate, such as being able to reproduce the complicated replacement of Atlas Gundam and Hildolfr, and it was also interesting in terms of play.

However, the area around the mask of Atlas Gundam was messy, and the replacement arm was very loose, so it seemed that quality control was sloppy compared to the 1st and 2nd bullets, so maybe the 4th bullet will be a little more. I want it to be made properly.
