Metalbuild GNY-001 Gundam Astraea High Maneuver Test Pack Review

Option set and Accessories

It have various Proto GN Twin Broad Blades, GN shield, joint, etc. and a set of GN vernier. It's almost similar to the previous Avalanche Dash Set, but with more shields and other changes.

Proto GN Twin Broad Blade is a different color of GN Broad Blade of Avalanche Dash. The blade is short and comes with a long blade. Concatenation is also possible. Bombardment support equipment operation form equipped with a set of GN vernier and a proto GN shield for expansion.

The installation of GN Vernier is the same as the dash unit of Avalanche. Equipped with replacement knee and calf armor. The front part is called GN vernier test equipment with additional legs, and the rear part is called GN vernier with built-in claw equipment for outer space.

Knee armor and calf units can be deployed in common with gimmicks. The same applies to the deployment of the claw arm. Equipped with a GN vernier with a built-in GN capacitor on the shoulder.

The name has changed, but the modeling is the same as the past one, and the installation method is also the same. The development gimmick here has not changed. The installation method of the expansion proto GN shield is the same as the past one. Equipped on the waist and back joints. It can be deployed and connected using joints as usual.

Forearm unit is not used in the artillery support equipment operation mode, but it is also included. In addition, a rear unit, a joint for Proto GN High Mega Launcher to maintain the angle of the launcher, a support for the support, and a base for the auxiliary support are included.

This is a Proto GN shield operation test type, and as the name suggests, the shield is the main. Anti-large target assault equipment. This is a form in which the GN vernier is equipped only on the shoulders and is mainly used for close combat with a broad blade. High mobility test equipment.

This is a form in which only the legs are equipped with a vernier and the blade looks like a wing. The back joint uses a special one. Avalanche Gear Cygnus is the customary form of this kind of set. It looks flashy, but the movement is a little strict. If you deploy the GN launcher and each unit, it will be a great volume. The shape of the unit part of the shoulder and legs is common.

Movability and Articulation

Anti-large target assault equipment. Since this is a form in which only the shoulders and arms are equipped with units, the movement etc. are not particularly different from normal times.

Proto GN shield operation test type is characterized by a silhouette like Quanta. High mobility test equipment is characterized by its appearance that emphasizes speed and fighting. Since this has a leg unit, the movement of the lower body is a little cramped. Bombardment support equipment operation form. The form that looks the most balanced in this time.

Proto GN High Mega Launcher can also be set up comfortably. It is possible to increase the shield as it is. Avalanche Gear Cygnus. There is too much interference here and it is stressful to move. The exhibition will be almost as it is.

Summary

This is the review of the GNY-001 Gundam Astraea High Maneuver Test Pack. Most of the time, it was a diversion of the option set of the Avalanche Exia Dash set in the past, so there was no novelty in terms of gimmicks, but this time it looked very powerful, especially when the amount of armament was large and all were put on.

Since it is a dedicated option set, the colors are naturally unified and it looks good, and when combined with the original weapon Proto GN High Mega Launcher etc., it was also good that it became a silhouette like never before.
