Metal Build MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Dragon Review

There are quite a lot of new moldings such as the head, waist, and legs. The legs are thinner and the color has changed, giving it a tighter impression than normal.

Head Unit

The head is a new model, and the shape of each part changes compared to normal. The V-Fin Antenna is also quite large. The mode can be changed by changing the direction of the V-Fin Antenna attached to the ear.

Fang V-Fin Antenna mode deployed on the front. When you turn the V-Fin Antenna to the front, you need to switch left and right, so be careful. A huge beam V-Fin Antenna is also included. This is used in exchange for a normal V-Fin Antenna. It looks big and clear parts have a strong presence. It is also possible to change modes. Normally it is in Beam V-Fin Antenna mode, and when it is facing forward it is in Gekirin mode.

Body Unit

The chest is the same as normal. However, the original marking was added and it became flashy. The waist is new and the movable structure has been upgraded.

Arms and Legs Unit

Arms are reused from before. The legs are completely new and thinner than normal, and the color has increased to black, giving it a tighter impression.

Weaponry and Accessories

This is equipment common to the past. New set of equipment come with set of flight units, Pedestal related set. This equipment looks similar to the one in the past, but since there are many new models, the atmosphere has changed a little. Beam rifle is the previous diversion. Anti-beam shield still same.

Connection joints etc. are the same as usual. Tiger earrings on the right hip, Equipped with a gerbera straight on the left hip. This is also a diversion of the past work.

Flight Unit is also a diversion and the movable parts should be the same as before, but there is a problem that the thrusters at the bottom do not open in a square shape. It seems that there are reports one after another on the net, but it is a mystery whether there is some kind of response.

Like its predecessor, the flight unit can be equipped with rifles and shields, and can be transformed into a suspended form. The volume of the three Caletvwlch on the back is tremendous and powerful. Caletvwlch is connected to the flight unit. However, in this form, it cannot stand on its own, so I had no choice but to support it with something or float it. The equipment of Caletvwlch can be separated and equipped by pulling out the grip.

Movability and Articulation

Parts at the base of the barrel can be rotated. It is possible to switch to G mode by attaching a cutter and a blade. Attach the cutter to the tip to switch to S mode. There is no problem even if the cutter on the side is not attached. If you connect the S mode with the attached joint, it becomes a twin Katana Swords. The green clear parts support the tip of the Katana Swords.

If you attach 3 blades to the javelin, it will be in J mode. If you attach G mode to the base of Caletvwlch, it becomes wing mode. The bases can also be connected together. Three wing modes are attached to the rear skirt binder on the waist. This was able to stand on its own because the tip was grounded.

Rear skirt binder. Both the upper and lower holes can be equipped with Caletvwlch. Leg booster on the side of the shin. Caletvwlch can also be attached to the leg booster.

In addition, it was possible to add movement in the attached state. A separate Javelin handle can also be mounted on the rear skirt binder. It can also be mounted by attaching a special joint to the bottom of the left and right sheaths. With a revised red frame. The head, waist, and legs are new, and the coloring has changed in various ways.

A reasonable number The volume of Caletvwlch connected to the flight unit is tremendous. There was little interference, but it was quite troublesome to move. The waist and legs are newly shaped and the joints have been improved, so the range of motion has increased considerably compared to normal. Impression that the back unit and beam V-Fin Antenna are too conspicuous and the two swords look a little plain.

It is also possible to add flashy movements to the Caletvwlch on the back. There is also an auxiliary pedestal, but there was no problem in maintaining the angle. Twin Katana Swords is the form that takes the most place this time. It seems that if you use the Ddraig head option set and Caletvwlch's option set, you can add more.

Summary

This is review of action figure die-cast Gunpla Metal Build MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Dragon. The Astray Red Frame have a lot of variations among metal builds, so although I'm getting a little tired of it, this time there are quite a lot of new body shapes that give it a fresh feel, and the main feature, the Astray Red Dragon form, is incredibly powerful. It was very cool with a sense of precision.

It was a pity that the flight unit was defective, but since the waist and legs have been reworked, the range of motion has been greatly improved, and there are many types of weapons, including the Caletvwlch, so you can play with it.
