Robot Damashii [SIDE MS] RX-79[G]Ez-8 Gundam Ez-8 ver. ANIME Review

Although there seems to be some diversion of the Gundam Ground Type, the design and coloring including the unique head are faithfully reproduced with almost new modeling.

Head Unit

It has a unique design that does not have a V-shaped antenna on the forehead like the basic Gundam face, and a single rod antenna extending from the top of the head. The mask with the chin guard and the details of the side of the head were also sculpted with precision, and the color of the red eyes was just like the image of the anime.

Body Unit

The chest is slightly simpler than the Gundam Ground Type. The 81 marking on the right chest is also accurate, and the unique aircraft color is just like the anime. Side armor magazine is detachable.

Arms and Legs

Some parts such as the upper arms and thighs are the same as the Gundam Ground Type. The shape of the ankle armor is slightly different from ordinary Gundam. In addition, there seems to be an individual in which the shin parts are assembled incorrectly and both legs have the shape of the left leg (originally the inner width is narrower).

The upper part of the shoulder armor is movable. The parts here can be replaced when installing the descent equipment, so it can be removed. The beam saber is stored on the side of the calf just like the Gundam Ground Type.

The backpack was also common with the Gundam Ground Type, and it was also possible to carry the Gundam Ground Type container on the back. The chest armor can be opened and closed, and the internal mechanical details are precisely reproduced.

Also, this time, instead of pushing in the chest left and right, the shoulder joint is new, and it can be pulled out about 30 degrees both when normal and when flipped up.

Weaponry and Accessories option set

Beam rifle is the same as land battle gyms. Scope and foregrip are movable. The Shield also common with others. The making of the joint is also unchanged. It is also possible to remove the expansion plate.

100mm machine gun foregrip and stock are also movable. Effects for beam rifle and vernier are included. Open the backpack and install it like a Gundam Ground Type container. Replace the tip of the belt with the upper part of the shoulder.

The belt is made of soft material and the descent equipment can be split. Effects can be attached to the vernier of the lower part. There is also a stand hole if you remove the cover on the back of the lower part. With this, it feels like the main MS of the 08 platoon is complete. Also the Gundam Universe version that was released earlier.

Movability and Articulation

The joints are almost the same as the Gundam Ground Type, so the movement is almost the same. The waist was made to be able to be pulled out after improvement. The descent equipment is also elaborately made, such as dividing parts, attaching effects, and being able to float alone.

Kneeling is also possible without difficulty, and the shooting method used in the play can be reproduced almost as it is. As usual, two types of straight curved saber effects are included. Due to the difference in design, grounding was slightly better than the ground type. Char's Zaku machine gun effects can be attached to the 100mm machine gun.

Summary

It's a Gundam with a rather unique design, such as a unique head and coloring, but it's a very cool finish, with a stable shape that's typical of ver. The articulation is almost the same as the Gundam Ground Type, and the waist joints are made to be pulled out after the improvement, so everything is almost perfect.
