Action Figure Gunpla Metal Build GN-001 Gundam Devise Exia Review

Except for the GN Devise backpack on the back, it is almost Metal Build Gundam Exia. The silhouette from the shoulder to the back changes.

Head Unit

The head molding is the same as the past MB Gundam Exia. The original was nearly 10 years ago, but it still looks cool. The color of each part does not change. The red line under the eyes is a type with a mold, like Repair IV.

Body Unit

The body is also common with normal Gundam Exia. The color of the collar antenna was a little darker than usual.

Arms and Legs Unit

No change around here. It was just a slight increase in marking. The part where the GN drive was was the GN Devise backpack. The left and right bases of the backpack can move up, down, left and right. In addition, it became possible to expand the sub arm. The sub-arm can move flexibly and can grab various weapons such as beam sabers.

Weaponry and Accessories set

This Devise come with a set of pedestals. GN Sword is common with Normal Exia, and it is possible to switch between rifle mode and sword mode. It is also possible to store the grip like Normal Exia. Sword mode 2 can also be reproduced as usual. GN shield blue part can be expanded. Two shields were attached this time. GN Long Blade, GN Short Blade, etc. have not changed. It can be equipped on the waist using a latch.

Proto GN Raster Sword is a newly molded new weapon. No particular gimmicks. Can be mounted in the center of the backpack. In addition, since the handle of the Raster sword is thick, it is necessary to replace it with a dedicated claw when holding it with a sub arm. There is a hole next to the sub arm, so you can attach a shield. It was also possible to install weapons for Astraea in this hole.

Also, if you remove the left and right arms of the GN Devise Backpack, you can attach the connection arm of Astraea's Proto GN High Mega Launcher. Proto GN high mega launcher can be equipped as it is. Conversely, it was also possible to attach the GN Devise Backpack to Astraea.

A normal GN drive is also included and can be exchanged for a GN Devise backpack. The main body is almost unchanged except for the mold and markings under the eyes. The silhouette of the back has changed slightly due to the new equipment.

Movability and Articulation

Since the structure of the main body is the same as normal, the movement does not change. It became possible to play variously with the sub arm. Weapons are mostly the same as normal. Proto GN Raster sword of this time's featured weapon.

The blade is larger than the GN Sword and the blade is made of clear parts, making it very flashy. It can be held with both hands. A flashy display is possible by holding a large sword in both hands and using the sub arm. The joint strength of the sub arm is sufficient, and it is possible to maintain the angle firmly even when holding the GN Raster sword.

However, the joint on the left elbow of the main body was quite loose, so it seemed that there was such a hit. He can also have weapons such as Astrea.

Summary

Thats the review of action figure Gunpla Metal Build Gundam Exia with Devise Unit. Gundam Exia's main body is almost the same as normal, so the basic performance such as movement and gimmicks is unchanged. The newly equipped GN Devise Backpack changes the silhouette and gives it a different atmosphere than normal, and the sub-arms can also be deployed to increase play value. A flashy display was possible.
