MS Mechanical Bust 01 - RX-93 Nu Gundam Review

ν Gundam [color ver.]

There was a series in which only the head of MS was three-dimensionalized, but this time, ν is released as the first bust. It's only a 500 yen capsule, and the total height is about 10 cm, which is relatively large and the modeling is precise.

Although it is an assembly type, it was easy to make with a small number of parts. The assembly instructions are included in the capsule, but the images on the official page were larger and easier to understand.

ν Gundam [Mechanical Clear]

This is the same shape as the color and the exterior is clear. Although it was a bad frame, it was quite beautiful and looked good. Internal mechanism (included in the Luminous unit).

This reproduces the internal frame with a different shape from the above two types. It is possible to emit light by combining the above two types. There are cavities inside the chest and inside the neck, and it is possible to insert the attached Luminous Unit.

Please note that there is only one unit. The Luminous unit attached this time emits orange light on the right side. The one on the left is the one that came with Ultimate Luminous Shin Ultraman.

Illuminated State

Originally, the head or chest can be selected, but this time, the above Ultraman items are also used to emit light at the same time. The chest shines brightly, but the light on the head was a little weak due to its structure. Also, the sensor on the upper left of the chest does not light up.

The color version exterior is attached to the internal mechanism. The ducts, the inside of the chest, the sensors, etc., which were hollow in a single body, were filled in, and the colorless eyes were added, giving the feeling of being properly completed. Even in this state, it was possible to easily divide the chest and put in and take out the Luminous unit.

The left is slightly darker, and the right is considerably darker. The state where the exterior of the clear version is attached to the internal mechanism. Here too, the increased detail of the internal mechanism deepened the significance of clearing and made it look better. The size was about 10cm and the volume was enough for a 500 yen capsule to give a sense of satisfaction.

Summary

Thats the review of the MS Mechanical Bust 01 ν Gundam. The modeling was quite elaborate, and the light-up gimmick seemed interesting. I was a little worried about the fact that the light from the eyes and the chest was weaker than the light from the chest, but I was a little worried about the structure, but it was a combination of the exterior and the internal mechanism.

It was very precise and cool, and the texture of both the molded color and the painted parts was good. It seems that the first shipment is already out of stock, probably because there are few stores that carry it or because it is delivered in installments, but the product is good.
