Gunpla Review RMS 1/144 CBS-70 Ptolemaios Container [ RENEWAL EDITION ]

Along with the renewal, weathering paint and markings have been added to the panel lines, giving it a more solid finish. After five years, the RMS Ptolemaios Container has been renewed to a heavy-duty painting version. This is your chance to get it even if you missed it.

Details

Let's start by looking at the main unit. Shadows sprayed on the panel lines and voluminous markings give it a realistic prop-like appearance. In addition, the marking is attached as a water transfer decal that can be applied freely.

The Baumkuchen-shaped parts on the pedestal can be connected, so if you have 4 of these items, you can make it into a ring shape like in the play. The front hatch is accented with white. From the rear is an angle that increases the amount of information.

The details of the thruster are also impressive. The front of the container is the part where the markings stand out. By replacing the pedestal with the crawler parts on the upper left, you can also convert it to ground use.

Gimmick

Let's open the hatch and take a look at the gimmick side. The top panel and the front panel can be opened as they are by the movable axis. The angle of the top panel can be fixed by connecting an auxiliary arm. The MS hanger is inside. MS can be stored as it is in the play.

This MS hanger is full of gimmicks. *Photos are taken with the side panel removed to make it easier to see the inside. The angle of the foot part can be changed freely by the movable shaft. It's a gimmick that is impressive even in the play, so it's nice to reproduce it.

The upper arm part has a movable sliding and claw part. HG & RG's Gundam Exia, as well as "HG 1/144 Gundam Dynames" and "HG 1/144 Gundam Virtue" can be locked.

The lower part of the hanger can be separated from the upper part. You can wake it up and put it in a stand state. In addition, the base of the step parts on which MS ankles are placed rotates and can be locked left and right. The display in the stand state. You can enjoy a different display from the normal storage state.

Also, you can separate only the foot part from the lower part of the MS hanger and use it as a starting catapult. The image of the 00 aircraft floating from the container was strong, but the launch scene like the one in the photo is also possible.

This item can be enjoyed with various MS on board, but it is especially designed to be played with the first half of 00 (Exia, Dynames, Curios, Virtue). The connecting shaft parts etc. are designed to fit perfectly.

HG 1/144 Gundam Kyrios is stored in flight mode. The MS hanger can also be in a dedicated position. By the way, you can remove the cover parts for the part indicated by the red circle on the side of the MS hanger.

There is a connection shaft hole under the cover part, and the arm part of the action base 2 (sold separately) can be attached. This makes it possible to display in a floating state as shown in the photo.

It is also possible to open and close the side panel using attachment parts, and change the position of the top panel to make it a catapult state. Also, if you replace the pedestal with the included crawler parts, you can transform it into a ground container. It's a nice gimmick, as it's a form that appears a lot at the beginning of the story.

This item has a very high play value, so try combining it with various items. You can use Ptolemaios as a prop to recreate famous scenes from the play. You can also recreate the impressive ship landing scene.

Summary

This is review of Megahouse Realistic Model Series 1/144 CBS-70 Ptolemaios Container [ RENEWAL EDITION ]. The weathering paint and additional markings make this item even more "shiny". It's a fairly large item, but if you line it up with the Nahel Argama from the same series, it should feel compact.
